Reviews of professor Alexandra Strom

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Allie provides so many opportunities to ask questions and get help. She is very clear on what she wants you to know and what not to waste time on. Fair grading, and even generous at times. She gives points where she can (as long as you don't through every possible answer). Pretty blunt, sarcastic, and funny. Classes were recorded and posted.

Allie is a wonderful professor! I learned so much this year and I wish I'd taken more classes with her.

The course is very lecture-heavy, but Allie is great at taking feedback and implemented much more in-class group work and problem solving later in the semester. She is big on giving partial credit. Demanding course, especially if you don't have a strong high school chemistry background. She's literally the sweetest. Go to office hours!

I was really crushed by my first exam grade (D) and began to meet with Professor Strom basically every week andwas able to end the class with an A-. She is an amazing teacher and person, definitely made the transition from high school to college much easier. Make sure to show all of your work on your exams because she gives a bunch of extra credit!

Allie is awesome and she clearly cares about her students and puts a lot of effort into helping you understand the material. Really enjoyed this class, highly recommend.

Strom is an amazing human being but she relies on her tablet while giving lectures and I never felt a connection with her during classes.

While it CHM 118 is challenging, Prof. Allie is great. Her recorded lectures and answer videos for problem sets and exams were VERY helpful. Her use of energy diagrams literally changed the way I thought about chemistry. She is very nice, funny, and accessible outside of class. She cares about all of her students. Put the work in and she'll notice.
