Reviews of professor Armanda Formigao-Gameiro

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Exams, quizzes, labs, homework all due at same times, 2 exams for this class in the same week, absurd amounts of OWL's on topics never touched in her confusing lectures, often skips over important material, setting her students up for failure, when reaching out for help be warned for she makes snarky degrading comments that make you feel dumb

The class was difficult; I did really well in Chem 111 so I was surprised to see my grades drop. The exams were hard, and I felt like I wasn't able to learn the content to the fullest. Personally the teaching style wasn't for me.

I believe she's at Umass-Amherst now, but I 'm taking chem 112 right now and I'm struggling. She assigns way too much owl homework that has concepts that are 10x more in depth/challenging than her lectures so you're just teaching yourself at this point. She goes extremely fast during her lectures and skips over vital steps without explaining.

I took her for Organic Chem I lab and she was so inconsistent with her grading. My class just got our grades for our last lab report and the average was a 63.7%. My lab report was 7 pages long and very thorough and i made a 64. Doubt ill even pull out a B in this class and I have all A's in my other classes including Orgo I lecture.

This class was awful and this professor gives out the hardest tests ever!

Maybe this class would have been better in person, but online this was a disaster. Her lectures are not organized in any meaningful fashion, so it's almost impossible to go back and review materials that way. She is extremely unclear in her communication -- The date of our final exam was not mentioned in a single email, and the syllabus says tba.

She doesn't take attendance, but you MUST participate in class if you want to succeed. Her lectures are hard and her tests are VERY hard. She isn't the best at explaining in class. However, if you put in the effort and see her during office hours, she truly cares and wants you to succeed. Had an F in the beginning, passed with an A with tutoring.

She can be hard to understand at times, and she doesn't explain very well. I had to go to tutoring several times. I wouldn't recommend unless you're really good at chemistry. She will go over your tests with you during her office hours if you email her which is helpful.
