Reviews of professor Gretchen Peters

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I've seen three different 241 professors now and she is by far a 10/10. She explains the material about as best you'll see and truly wants all of her students to succeed. A lot of Wiley HW but helps with final grade. Big curve at the end. Orgo is hard no matter what but she's the one I'd want to learn it from. Highly recommend.

Tests are all online. You watch 3 hours of videos over the weekend and do practice problems in class. The tests are multiple choice and hard to master. Class averages were extremely low and doesn't curve. Have to retake this class

This class was very hard just based on the material we had to learn, but she made the experience somewhat manageable. She clearly enjoyed the topic and was always there to answer any questions we had. She gave us many opportunities to practice and even some opportunities for EC. Given the online format, curves were small but still given.

A great choice for orgo imo. She is great in office hours, and tries to make orgo as interesting as possible during lecture. Very knowledgable and I never felt lost in class due to her teaching style, more so due to the material. Everyone knows organic is a tough class but I felt Dr. Peters made it manageable. Also, do the practice tests!!!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAD AT JMU!!! I love her, she's so good. Please take her if you have the chance. She gives extra credit and is accessible outside of class. FR FR THE BEST THERE IS

Dr. Peters made organic chemistry bearable. Her lectures (recorded and done asynchronously for the fall semester) made sense and were easy to go through if you didn't understand a previous topic. The class is hard- as are tests, but she genuinely made the class so much less of a nightmare. TAKE HER IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.

Dr. Peters is a phenomenal professor to the point that it's almost annoying, because you know that the reason your orgo grade sucks is entirely your fault. She is so good with students and TRULY wants you to succeed. I had a flipped classroom where there was 3/3.5 hours of videos outside of class and in class all practice. Multiple choice exams.

She drops a test, and homework counts for a lot. Organic is hard no matter who you take it with and if you have peters, you definitely need to go to class or youll quickly fall behind. My advice is ACE the first test... its by far the easiest one and if you do well youll have a good buffer for your grade

Dr. Peters is a great teacher and a great person! No matter how you're doing in her class, she wants to help and is always open to any questions without judgment. Orgo 2 is hard in general, but she has a well-structured class format. Stay caught up, do practice problems, and go ask questions! She wants to help!
