Reviews of professor Marguerite Danna

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I could not be more disappointed in Danna's class this semester. Family anecdotes that had nothing to do with orgo, countless technical difficulties, "you don't have to know this for the test" and then it shows up on the test HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, copies text book to slides and just reads it off, VERY condescending and rude, cannot manage time

So, there are a few things that need to be noted about Dr. Danna. First of all, her first semester teaching is when I took her, and I honestly expected her to be worse. She provided resources to all of the content you needed, and lectured as best as she could. You have to study and ask questions. Its a tough class. Study hard and you will be fine.

Lectures consist of her reading off of a PowerPoint, giving you 30 seconds to answer a complicated clicker question she can't answer, and going over useless material. Tests are incredibly difficult and the averages were never over a 50%. Made countless errors on exams and exam study guides. Claimed to have the grading scale shifted, never happened.

Only passed this class because of my amazing AP Chem teacher in high school. She is rude to students and doesn't seem to be able to follow a syllabus or teach on a schedule. Her lectures made no sense and she did example problems wrong so I just stopped going and taught myself. Labs are easy though and tests are passable. Just please don't take her

Before this class, I really enjoyed chemistry. Two failed exams later, I really hate chemistry.

Worst professor I have ever had. She does not prepare you at all. She has multiple mistakes on her slides. On study guide she said she wasn't going to test us over something, then tested us on it and then blamed it on us "do not trust a study guide" I have never felt so shamed and belittled by a professor. I am not prepared for Orgo 2.

Although Danna's not my fav professor, I feel like the reviews so far have been slightly too tough. I do feel she chastises the class a lot and can go off on tangents. However, I went to her office hours once and she was really helpful and willing to work through things with me. This class is super tough no matter who you take honestly. I have a B.

Organic in general is a hard class so no matter what professor dont expect it to be easy. Still taking Danna makes so much harder than it needs to be. I have had to correct here multiple times in lecture because she has been completely wrong. She has no clue what she is doing so basically it ends up beign you have to teach yourself.
