Reviews of professor Maria Nagan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Nagan is literally amazing. I've always loved chem but the professor I had last semester ruined it for me. Dr. Nagan on the other hand makes chem enjoyable and interesting, she's also very straight-forward and takes the time to answer questions throughout the lecture. Exams are tough but if you do the readings in mastering you'll be good.

Professor Nagan is a great chem prof. She understands the material very well and explains the topics clearly and concisely. Some topics are more difficult than others, but she tries her best to make her points clear. My favorite part of her notes are the web charts she made, which helped immensely.

She's an amazing teacher, 10/10! Gen chem can be difficult but she really does take the time to teach things the simplest way possible and will solve chem problems step-by-step. So long as you listen during lecture, do the clicker questions, the recitation work, and the ALEKS homework, you will do great on her exams!

Wish she would've stayed the whole semester. Clear and organized. Very professional and answered quickly. Her lectures were clean and simple. Would recommend.

Do not take this class CHE 131 and CHE 132 are very different. She goes way off topic during lecture and only goes over the most basic stuff in lecture. Be prepared to spend hours on end to do HW just to get a 60% on it and learn everything on your own.

Dr. Nagan's lectures are engaging. She makes lecture slides short and concise. However, one thing I don't like about this course, which is not Dr. Nagan's fault, is that fall semester exams have only 12 questions, meaning if you get 2 questions wrong you'll be in the mid 80s. 90 is the A cutoff. I recommend taking it in the spring semester.
