Reviews of professor Faith Katz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Katz was a great teacher overall. Her tests were not too bad as long as you do the practice problems she assigns in the syllabus, and if you need help with anything, she is very accessible during office hours. Smartwork5 assignments can be jarring, but they do help for exam preparation. She also gives out extra credit opportunities.

She was not nice, did not go over the lab material well, and gave out hard quizzes and practicals. She was not helpful, and she graded very hard. Compared to other lab professors she was probably the worst. She constantly belittled students for not knowing things, and in conclusion was my least favorite professor of the semester.

Tests are hard, moves fast and expects you to learn material on your own.

Very good teacher, class was pretty hard but she made it bearable. Cares a lot about her students and is very accessible outside of class, she also gave a lot of chances to get points back which is very nice of her. I would definitely take another class with her if I could.

ive never been great at chemistry, but this was a whole new level. she expected us to all come with previous knowledge, so you have to teach yourself, and fast. once you get behind there is no catching up. the topics were so advanced that my tutors couldnt even figure it out. she went faster than we could keep up, so we couldnt learn all of it.

Professor Katz is one of the best lab professors I've had. She grades all the assignments with grace and as long as you did it you will get near 100% on them. Make sure to stay on top of lab homework and as long as you are familiar with what you are doing by reading prior to lab, you will do great with her!

Prof. Katz was great at explaining what she wanted labs to be like and was very helpful during office hours and in class. Don't be afraid to ask questions during lab bc you have to understand every step for the practical. She offers extra credit but you have to work for it and put time in. Her grading was fair and she's very nice and approachable.
