Take her. She will lead you on! Such a great professor I have ever had in PCC

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is very sweet and wants you to succeed but her way of helping you learn is assigning a ridiculous amount of work. When planning your term prepare for around 30 hours a week of work for this class. Organic chemistry is a very difficult subject, but in this class it is more of scrambling to get all your work done rather than studying hard.

She is so sweet. I have had her for all my gen chem classes. She is very caring, she is a fair grader. She give a good amount of homework but never overloads. She will help you understand the content and go over it with you after class. 2 exams, quizzes, online homework, labs . She is fair and is accessible out of class. Answers emails quickly :)

Hemali is great! Clear lectures that tell you what you need to know. She's very sweet and is always willing to answer questions or help out if you're confused. The homework can get hard but it makes the quizzes and exams seem easy in comparison. Super simple extra credit on exams that make it easy to make back any point you missed. Great prof!!

This class was okay. Hemali is sweet at times but can also lack patience, when people ask her to clarify or re-explain she seemed to get really irritated. There is a lot of work, a weekly quiz, weekly hw of around 50-60 questions, 2 lectures (one being around 5 hours), a pre-lab, a lab, a post-lab, and often another assignment due every week.

Hemali cares about your understanding of the subject matter and will work to help you metabolize the information being conveyed. She's clear and direct and there are no surprises with regards to what will show up on exams. She's kind and respectful and has a clear passion for chemistry. I'd take her again in a heartbeat.

Hemali is a fantastic teacher. Her lectures are very informative and she's always very clear about the important information that needs to be learned for exams during the lecture. She cares a lot about her students and if anyone is having trouble understanding she patiently shows everything step-by-step. I definitely suggest taking her for chem!!

Her pace in her lecture is fast enough for you to not get bored but slow enough for you to understand. The reason for a low difficulty is due to her teaching the material so well and she very easy to approach. The scariest part of her is her last name but would highly recommend
