Reviews of professor Elizabeth Parkinson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was terrified that orgo would be my downfall going into medicine. She was able to turn an intimidating class into one I could actually feel confident in. The material is difficult don't get me wrong, but she gives you every resource for help and practice. Do every extra credit opportunity she offers and go to every lecture. It's worth it!!

Dr. Parkinson is the only reason I didn't completely fail this course. She's so kind and genuinely wants to see you succeed. It's a hard course with a lot of memorization but it's doable if you pay attention in lecture and practice.

Loved the class, although it was challenging. Adapted the grading system around class performance. Responds to emails in a timely manner. All in all, no complaints.

If dr párkinson wasnt an amazing professor this class would be a nightmare. Material isnt the hardest if you ask questions but there is A TON of memorization. This class is a lot of work but doable

Dr. Parkinson is the best professor I have had so far. With COVID, she has been the only professor that transitioned well. She is caring, funny, and explains difficult concepts so well. If you are looking to take any chemistry course, take it with her. Highly recommended, wonderful prof.

Parkinson cares about her class and her students. Her material is tough, but she gives students MULTIPLE resources to succeed. The best resources were practice quizzes and exams that if you completed, you were very prepared for her assessments. EC if enough of the class completed her surveys, which was awesome. patient and approachable

Your final grade is largely based on exams, but partial credit is given and there are extra credit opportunities. She went through lecture at a perfect pace, was clear at explaining, and was very approachable and answered all questions. I was so nervous about this class she made the experience great. Highly recommend this professor.

Dr. Parkinson is phenomenal! Overall, very caring and knowledgeable.  However, this class is HARD! She is perfectly aware that this course is the notorious "pre-med" weed out class, but sets clear guidelines on how to do well in the course. An "A" is difficult to achieve, but not impossible. Practice exams and book questions are your best friend!

Dr. Parkinson has great lectures and cares about her students. Her office hours are very welcoming and she's good at answering questions. Expect the following: 3 midterms and a final (worth nearly 80% of the grade!), weekly recitation worksheets, and extra credit from iClickers. If you put in the work, this class is easy; if not don't be surprised.

She's a great professor. Her class is very very difficult, but she does a great job of explaining material and I feel like she really cares about her students.
