Reviews of professor Jessica Pikul

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was lucky to accidentally get Dr. Pikul for chem. She was always very responsive to emails and canvas messages. She was easy to learn from, laid back, and made the class apply to our chosen career paths. She was super knowledgeable and passionate about her subject without being full of herself. I wish she could teach the rest of my pre-requisites

Dr. Pikul is an incredible professor, top tier beyond the community college level (not that there is anything wrong with cc's). She does not rely on powerpoint slides to keep the lecture times flowing well and informative. She answers questions reasonably and does examples right in class. The case studies, lab work, and homework are all reasonable.

She teaches 100-level Chemistry like it should be (meant for people who haven't taken CHEM before). Makes herself available to help and her quiz and test questions are reasonable. Gives you more than enough chance to make up for bad grades. If you don't like CHEM, the labs will suck regardless of the prof but she makes it as bearable as she can.

Doctor Pikul is honestly the best! Highly recommend her, she is extremely caring of her students grades and goes out of her way a lot to help you out in her class. I took chem 161 and currently am taking chem 162 online due to covid and her grading system is the best. Although you don't get exams, you do have to work to get a good grade!

I had her through three quarters of general chemistry series and I couldnt have asked for more. She is really reasonable, enthusiastic in teaching and inspiring. As long as you are serious in your study, a 4.0 is not far from reach. Extra credits are given after every midterm. You'll have chances to gain back 50% points you lost. GREAT teacher.
