Reviews of professor Kristine Smetana

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. S is a great choice for CHEM. She really cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. If you don't pay attention you will not pass the class. The grades in this class focus on "Quests" 5 question quizzes. In order to pass the class you must pass all 7 primary quests and then pass a number of secondary quests. She is willing to help!

Dr. Snetana was so awesome. She helped with the difficult topics and broke everything down into steps. She spent extra time for problem solving so we were really prepared for the standardized test at the end which was really tough. I cant say enough about her caring about us the whole time. Her number 1 is about us learning the material.

Dr. Smetana was really great. She worked with me every tuesday on my organic. She went through the lecture notes we had and I ended up with a B and a better understanding because of the extra time she game. If you want someone to help and she helped me in chm 111 in the fall, she is really willing. she breaks down everything for you.

Smetana is seriously here for you. She is so passionate about chemistry. She will do everything she can to make sure you succeed. She gives you every opportunity to get an A. I am so bad at chemistry (failed 11 twice) and she made everything just click! 4 take home tests 2 in class tests and labs those are basically your grades

I took Dr. Smetana this semester and love her class. Chemistry is a really hard subject and it is mandatory for my major. She has been able to break every difficult topic down so I understand. Everything is based on quests and they are tough because you need a 4/5 to pass but she really prepares us well. I recommend her if you need to take chem

Loved her for chm 112! She was so thorough. She makes take home quizzes before a test to make sure we understand the information and have a chance to do well. Her questions are definitely more straightforward than the online homework. She was willing to help whenever I needed it even when she didn't have office hours. I felt prepared.

Dr. S really breaks down all the difficult topics. She makes extra office hours to make sure she is around as much as possible. So far so good with the Quests we have had. I am just hoping to pull out an A or B but lots of practice makes the work easier. I will say that even though she is new here, she rocks!
