Reviews of professor Dannielle Wentzel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Going into this class I was very nervous, as chemistry is not my strong suit. Mrs. Wentzel is the most amazing professor. She really cares about her students and makes learning chemistry not so difficult. She gives extra, which really helps your grades. Make sure to attend the extra credit sessions, its so helpful!

Grade mostly depends on the exams (4 exams+1 final), but there are weekly interactive textbook readings that are graded (but fairly easy). A little socially awkward but that's part of her charm. Participation isn't mandatory but skipping class makes you lose participation points.

This course is tough but I would say she helped us navigate it well. Go to office hours. You can tell she cares about her students, she wants you to succeed. She has a good sense a humor. She provides an online book for you. Definitely attend lectures and ask questions when you don't understand! I would recommend her to other students.

Calls on students in lecture randomly. Attendance quizzes every day, half points are for being right so you might still get only a 50% for attendance. Questions on quizzes, homework, and attendance are not like notes, and there are rarely clear examples in the notes. Awful at answering questions via email, decent in person. Take Champion instead.

Mrs. Wentzel's really awesome you can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants you to learn. She uses skeletal notes for her lectures which are pretty helpful and keep you engage. She's also very approachable.

Professor Wentzel is great! She is super nice and friendly. I personally don't think the material is too hard especially if you pay attention in class and do any practice work she may give you. There's no reading, but when i had her there was weekly hw assignments and quizzes. If you struggle at all she'll be happy to help.

She was very very kind and knew everybody's name in the class. She wanted everyone to do well and was always available outside of class.

Class: Chem 162 She calls on people even when you don't understand the material. The attendance points are half based on accuracy, so even if you go to class, your not guaranteed full attendance points. She expects us to know everything by the end of class, but does not give great examples. The quizzes are not based on the focus topics in class.

She calls on students at random to participate. She has students do Socratives for attendance and accuracy, so even if you're in class, if you don't do the problems right, you get a 50%. And when she tells you to do the Socratives for accuracy, she hasn't even demonstrated an example to the class. The quizzes aren't like what we learned in class.
