Reviews of professor Justine Monsalve

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Understanding this class is no joke. Make sure to review all your tests and end of chapter questions 1-2 weeks before the final exam. This class requires your full attention and taking lots of notes. She is really sweet in her emails and is very quick to respond. She responds on the weekends and even late at night. Work hard and good luck!

Heed my warning.. DO NOT enroll in her class. I can't be any clearer. If you do end up taking her, make sure to form a group chat with your peers. That's literally the only way we survived & were able to semi-understand the work. Even then, it'll STILL be hard. She'll REFUSE to help you. She did it to me, she'll do it to you. Help each other!!!

I didn't take the class yet until I realize a day before fall semester class started that this teacher uses honor lock for her online classes. So if you are good test taker I recommend you can take the class. But if you aren't good test taker, don't take her class. She seems like organized teacher as well.

Professor Monsalve has truly been an excellent example of how a professor who cares for their students should be. She did her best to reach out to all students who needed help, gave extra credit for all of the exams, and dived deep into difficult material so that students could get a solid grasp of it. Im so happy my first STEM class was with her.

RTV class. I was disappointed how much time was spent doing group work during lecture time rather than lecture. Attend lecture sessions and study the EQ's she provides. I have had teachers that explain concepts better, but her criteria and test are consistent. Extra credit is offered and she will curve test grades if it was clearly difficult.

Great professor. Was very clear on what she expected of you and taught chemistry in a very clear and concise way. Tests were a mix of MC and free response, and great feedback was given. There is 2 Pre-work assignments and 1 HW a week usually. Workload is reasonable, but attend the SI sessions they were very helpful. Take if possible.
