Reviews of professor Virginia Montiel-Palma

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Drones on and on in class, and is extremely boring. It's very hard to stay awake during her lecture because she reads directly off the slides. The slides are online but don't help much because recitation is much more complicated than the material she teaches in class. Do. Not. Take.

This was the most ridiculous course I have ever taken. I never know what is going on and i have never been so confused in my life. There is too much material to cover for it to be on one test and it is not even taught well in class. Would not recommend.

I honestly loved Dr. Palma. Her teaching style was somewhat difficult to understand at first but if you followed along in class you would be fine. I attended her office hours for my benefit and man oh man did they help. She would almost reward you for coming. If you messed up a quiz, she would let you retake it if you went to office hours.

she goes on and o during the lectures, she makes the lectures extremely borning. she makes the tests/recitation/labs hard because she does do a good job explaining the material. and she also has a thick accent that is very hard to understand at times. she doesnt allow laptops nor phones in the lectures and wants you to print out every slide od lecs

Hard to understand , and doesnt explain problems well. She expects you to already know everything. Also makes a lot of mistakes.

Doctor Montiel makes chemistry extremely difficult. She does not go over the material well in class, and I never felt prepared for the tests .Chemistry is already a difficult subject, and she makes it even more difficult. If you have to take chemistry at MSU take anyone else but her.

Very hard to understand. Is very ineffective at lecturing. She made everything more confusing than it needed to be. I ended up having to teach myself the course. Do not take this professor if at all possible!!!

Absolutely awful. Having to sit in on another class in order to pass. Difficult to understand and makes the material way more complicated than what it already is. Honestly youre better off dropping the course if you cant switch professors. Good luck to anyone who has her - made my semester absolutely miserable

She really cares about you and is effective teacher. Very clear and helpful lectures. Makes a difficult class a lot easier. Love her.

She seems nice, but would never take this class again. I go to a tutor who teaches me instead of her class and still somehow get low grades on the tests. I have tried to see her multiple times to get the tests back and she makes it almost impossible to see her. Sounds strange to me. I am an A/B student and am hovering a few points below a C rn.
