Reviews of professor Janet Bluemel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If I was able to take a different professor, I probably would. No offense to her because she is nice and intelligent, just her teaching is not top notch. Most of the learning I did from the homework and my quiz average was between a "B" and an "A". The material covered in class is boring but mostly pertinent to the quizzes.

She clearly knows what she is talking about but does not know how to convey it.

Bluemel is not a good professor. During lectures she spends too long talking about useless information that isn't on the tests or quizzes and then skims over the important information and equations. Expect to learn most of the material from the homework. iClicker attendance and accuracy are part of grade. No curves, very little extra credit

goes off into tangents a lot in class and does not know how to teach material well. homework is graded by what you have by the due date, no late homework is accepted. take anyone else but her.

Not it. She knows what she's talking about but does not know how to present the knowledge in a way the class understands. So in the end, we leave confused. If you haven't taken chem AP beforehand or even if you have, you'll most likely have to self-teach the subject to yourself which isn't ideal considering this is a first-semester freshman class.

Dr. Bluemel is a very nice lady, but a lot of what she says gets lost between the large lecture hall and her thick accent. The Dark Souls of Chem 107.

I had Dr. Bluemel for Chem 107. Her lectures were confusing, and her lecture slides weren't that helpful. Her slides contained a lot of information, but it's mostly jumbled up without a lot of explanation, and half it is irrelevant.. The examples she does give aren't that helpful either. The homework isn't that bad, but it's pretty time consuming.

Great lady, very kind. Does not seem like she knows much about the grading policies, curves, expectations, etc. She only comes in and lectures from slides but is present for office hours. She talks in circles about stuff that doesn't directly apply to material being tested and would explain something and say "its simple". Not great prof, but nice.

She has an extremely thick accent that is very hard to understand and makes lectures difficult to pay attention to. Her lectures also do not go over the material in depth and you are forced to study the textbook which can be very convoluted and overbearing at times. I would not reccomend taking her.

Professor Bluemel is a nice lady and cares about chemistry. However, she is NOT a good professor. Her lectures are very confusing and she often spends a lot of time talking about things that are not tested over, wasting class time. Sometimes we even got homework that covered material we hadn't learned yet. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone.
