Reviews of professor Lori Del Negro

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. D isn't as bad as these reviews make her out to be. She's very generous with extra credit and offers lots of resources if you need help. Gen Chem isn't easy, so you'll have to put in the work if you want a good grade. Recitation is the worst part of the class, the problems are helpful but the mini-projects are pretty useless. Not the worst prof

She is a horrible professor, the average for Midterms 1&2 were 53% and 44%, respectively. No matter how hard you study, the tests are almost impossible to pass. The tests would always focus on the hardest topic of the unit. The tests also covered way too much information, would be better if there was another midterm in there somewhere.

Professor Del Negro is a nice lady, but man were her lectures hard to follow.  She writes ok notes I suppose, but with how difficult the content is they often aren't enough and she is a poor lecturer.  The tests are brutal as well, and in my experience, the lectures do not prepare you enough for them.  She does give a ton of extra credit, so use it

Lori was a good lecturer and her notes were always clear and comprehensive. Chemistry is absolutely NOT my thing but she gave an incredible amount of extra credit and extra points on tests (which aren't even weighted that much anyway). She had so many extra resources and was willing to work with you on things you didn't understand personally.

Dr. D is extremely nice; however, her class is difficult. Her lectures can be difficult to follow, and her tests are hard. For example, one of the test averages was a 44% for my class! However, she does offer a TON of extra credit. If you take her class, take advantage of the extra credit, you'll need it.

I've never been more confused in my life than I have been in her class. She teaches chem in the way you'd expect exam review to go. She jumps from things that you often need more clarification for. You will have to teach yourself everything. Extra credit is so plentiful because her class average is so low. You'll have better luck teaching yourself.

Dr. Del Negro gets a bad reputation mostly from students that are going to be having difficulty with CH101 regardless of how it is taught so her reviews are unrepresentative of her teaching abilities. General chemistry is a challenging course because of the large range of topics that need to be covered, especially if you never took chemistry in HS.

She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities and is very sweet and allowed me to have extra time on my exams.

I passed chem with an A in high school but taking CH 101 with her had me guessing on every test (including the final). The only thing that kept me from failing was the pre/in class checks and the extra credit. If you miss a lecture, good luck. You'll be behind and attendance is graded.... She's bad with technology and talks in circles.
