Reviews of professor Michelle Dicus

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Chem 1A over the summer and I had the luck of getting Dr. Dicus as my professor. She genuinely cares about her students and wants us to get As, her lectures are amazing, explains how everything is applied, will always help, and fair grading system. Overall an amazing professor! Chem is a hard subject to get, she does her best to make it easy

Clear modules every 2 weeks. Very kind and curves midterm/final. I wish there were study guides but I still managed to do extremely well on the exams. Highly recommend. You will do great as long as you put in the work.

Dicus is incredibly organized, easy to reach, and reasonable. I wish she taught all of my math/science courses, honestly. She goes out of her way to provide outside help and uses zoom time as "whiteboard workouts" instead of pointless lectures. She even went out of her way to make the class textbook free. 10/10 hands down

Absolute sweetheart! She is passionate about what she teaches and does a good job of making sure you understand the topic thoroughly. Really great lecturer. Chemistry can be a tricky topic, but she made it a lot easier to understand. Would definitely recommend taking a class with her.

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. She's an extremely generous grader. If you do the work and ask questions when you need it, you will do will do well. She comments on every single assignment--even if you get a hundred, she'll go out of her way to compliment you. She responds to emails super fast and made her class textbook-free.

It's a bit messy with lectures as she'll go back with what she wrote, she forces us to learn it "her" way or we're wrong, and she's a bit sassy to the point where it's hurtful and discouraging. Stay on her good side and it'll probably be fine. Do ALL the hw, read packets because some info may not even be in lecture, and only ask q's in office hours

This professor makes sure you understand everything you need to understand before getting into the chemistry part of the course she'll teach you. Someone who makes it easier for you to understand the materials and she is extremely easy to talk to. You'll even leave with some friends with how great the environment in the class goes!

Professor Dicus genuinely cares about her students doing well. Shes very open to feedback from students and is easily available to ask questions about the class. Her lectures were very good. As someone whos always struggled in chem, I did well in this class.

Professor Dicus was phenomenal! She is such a kind, calm person. She gives a reasonable workload and never tries to stress or overwhelm students. Her modules were clear, and I learned SO MUCH! She really tries to go for a deep understanding of the main concepts rather than trying to cover every topic possible. I cannot recommend her enough!!
