Reviews of professor Janice DeGray

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was my first semester at DVC. She's nice but doesn't teach. Lectures don't help and you have to grind out everything yourself and teach yourself chemistry. Exams are somewhat fair but the averages are C's and I study a lot and still only managed to get a B+ average for the exams. Too hard for intro to chem in my opinion and a lot of busy work

Dr D. Is a great instructor because she actually cares. She's passionate about chemistry and really wants to make sure her students understand the material by staying after class if need be. Although a bit disorganized at times, she makes sure to make up for her tiny shortcomings with extra credit points to be earned. Highly recommend!

Shes a sweetie, shows up before class to help, stays late to help. I LOVE YOU DeGray! :) Teach 120 please.  you need access to a computer for homework. (she  may offer extra credit! )

she's a really great chemistry teacher to me at least, well organized and very helpful. if you don't understand anything , she was always there to help. Great teacher, I learned a lot from her. she does give a lot homework but it all helps you. she also provides study guides which help for the exams.

Dr. Degray is an outstanding educator. She wants you to do well and she will make accomodations and meet you halfway. Her teaching style is to assign new concepts first and explain after, which can be a shock if this is your first semester in college.

Professor DeGray is nice and is available at her office hours where she's very willing to help with questions you have on homework. However, her lectures are TERRIBLE, the slides were not made by her and she simply reads off of them. Her exams are usually a C average. I had to teach myself outside of class. I HIGHLY recommend study groups.

my 2 chem 108... My last teacher left a bad impression, however Dr.D encourages her students, makes a connection, comes to class  over an hour EARLY and stays LATE. she truly wants to teach and it is clear that she enjoys chemistry. she uses OWL for homework so you know if correct ASAP, better than Book-work; howeverthe text book is helpful 333

Very nice professor, a total sweetheart. However she will make you work for the A. Lots of homework and tons of points in the gradebook. An 88% is an A. A bit hard for just introductory chem, but a decent grade is manageable. (her teaching style isnt the best in my opinion)

I do not recommend her as a teacher. She is a nice teacher and is always there to help you out, but when I went to her for help I left more confused than when I came in. You don't have to go to lecture except there is a quiz, test or activity. The way to get an A is to do all the labs and get your homework in on time and pass all the tests with B's
