Reviews of professor Jana Blum

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took her for CHEM1212 online. This is not a class that should be taught online, take in person if you can. However, her videos are very helpful and I worked very hard to finish with a B. ACS final exam was curved. 7 modules, each with a pre-test and a module quiz with a note sheet, small project, and final. Offers some extra credit as well!

There was a lot of homework that was part of the grade, but she did not explain well. It would help if her exams or lectures were similar to the homework. What I didn't understand was there were group assignments.

I cant tell if this class was hell or not 30% of lecture will be on the test, the other 70%? Good luck finding it Had to study the most I have ever did in my life for this class Chem is hard when you compress the lifeworks of people in 1 semester Studied 30 hours a week for this class alone ACS she curves 20% Attendance not a grade Free textbook

I took Dr. Blum online. She was very accessible via email and she posted weekly updates. She posts PowerPoints and videos, but I always read the chapter too. There is also Mastering Chemistry Homework that is due at the end of each unit - about every 3 weeks. The on campus midterm and final are standardized tests, with a heavy curve.
