Reviews of professor Gabriela Chirica

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Chirica is adorable with her jokes. She is super helpful and willing to answer any questions you have. She gives homework, quizzes, lab reports, and exams which is pretty standard for a chemistry class. She isn't a tough grader. Do your work, understand the material and you will do fine.

+ easy grader, easy tests if you study, extra credit - pedagogy needs work, disorganized, often over/underexplains, many late schedule changes, hit/miss communication Beware if you've never taken Chem: she doesn't explain early chapters well. You'll need to study independently to build those foundations yourself if you don't have them already.

Dr. Chirica is not a hard grader. She really cares about her students and their grades. She wants everyone to succeed.

Dr. Chirica cares a lot about her students but shes a better organic chemist than a teacher. She can be disorganized at times but she does take constructive criticism well if you talk to her. You need to be able to teach yourself most of it; I only came to her when I needed clarification on things. Luckily she gives extra credit opportunities.
