Reviews of professor Margaret Meadows

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not be mislead by the high rating… I was and took her for CHM 222. I've made straight A's in college up to this point and am struggling to make a B in this class. Quizzes are extremely unfair and she is a VERY tedious grader. I heard she use to do exam corrections, but there are no extra credit opportunities whatsoever in her courses now.

Must know CHM221 content (instant recall).She's approachable and entertaining. She's specific in grading (may differ from book or CHM221). Pts based grading (70% exams), failing test averages. No extra credit or curve. Uses one note (iPads allowed), understanding of accommodations, reachable out of class. Ran lab efficiently.

Dr. Meadows wasn't terrible, but her tests were difficult, definitely the hardest in the department. Her lectures are semi easy to understand and homework is optional but highly recommended bc she reuses questions. She is very accessible outside of class, and she was very kind towards me. Ochem in general is really hard, so just prepare to study.

The labs, quizzes, and assignments do not affect your grade at all which is ridiculous. After comparing exams against other exams given by different professors, Meadows were the hardest out of the entire department. Her office hours are always full and you never get your questions completely answered. If you can take another professor, do it!

She does minute papers at the end of most classes and if you don't go to class, you don't get the credit for that paper. Since they're 2% of your grade, basically you should try to go to every class. Her tests are hard at first, but once you get the hang of it they're okay. She did test corrections with us but I don't know if she'll continue it.

I took Dr. Meadows because she was rated as a good lecturer and fair grader. I found neither of these to be true in her class or in her exams. She is also very sensitive to outside opinions which affects her teaching style negatively. If you take this professor, be prepared.

This was Dr. Meadow's first semester and she was honestly amazing!! She writes the lectures down as she goes (they are projected with the camera) so you can see every step. She is SUPER nice and extremely willing to meet with you in office hours or group office hours. Her tests are kind of hard but study notes and read textbook. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN

1 word to sum up my experience in this class is: beware. Dr. Meadows seems like an extreme, but she can be persnickety and make backhanded comments. She is somewhat accessible, but that is the only saving grace. If you do not have a good background in chemistry or can not dedicate all of your time to this class, do not take it with Dr. Meadows pt.A
