Reviews of professor Moana Hopoate-Sitake

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was very disorganized. The teacher did not have more than two weeks in advance showing and she would move due dates within a week of things being due. We also had to pay $70+ for a discussion board that was pointless and another online homework format. She also made a discussion due during finals week which I did not think was allowed.

This class was so disorganized and confusing. Professor Sitake would get upset at students for asking questions, and students often corrected her work in class because it was incorrect. The multiple choice tests were difficult. If it were not for the TA's, I would have been completely lost.

Super hard to get ahold of and when scheduling meetings with her she never shows. TAs run the whole class. Exam heavy.

She is super nice and cares about her students but it is definitely a work heavy class.

Lots of stuff to buy outside of what BYU says before class and it's a lot to do for an online course with written homework and online homework. Tests are either easy or hard in my experience but the TAs are really friendly. Never met or talked with the teacher so no opinion on her. If you want to take chemistry only take this teacher.

I would only take her class again because I heard she's easier than the other teacher, but that doesn't mean she's a good teacher. She didn't even understand what she was teaching most of the time and was corrected by students who had read the book or by her TAs. Go to TA reviews. Weekly homework that takes hours and 1/2 of the test is open book.

I loved Professor Sitake. She was incredibly spiritual and always ended class with a story about herself. I took her night class that ended at 9 PM and you could tell that she was really tired and had trouble teaching sometimes. However, her tests were manageable, and her TAs were AWESOME. She's also very approachable and wants you to succeed!

Had for Chem 101. Most of the class wasn't even her own material. The pre-recorded lectures were not her own, and the lectures themselves seemed to be from the late 80s. The subject was hard, and the lack of support throughout the course made it harder. The TAs were the saving grace for the course.

She has a long way to go. She doesn't understand the material, contradicts herself, super unorganized, will change due dates and how long the exam is open for, and her lectures are not helpful at all but she takes attendance. Maybe it was because I was in her night class, but she was always exhausted and it seemed like she didn't want to be there.

I thought Professor Sitake really wanted all her students to succeed. There were times that it was hard to follow her when she was teaching, but honestly you do well in the class and you learn the material you need to.
