Reviews of professor Genevieve Boice

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is really unreasonable. Very rude, does not want students to succeed. I honestly think she takes pleasure in being mean to people.

Genevieve was alright as a lecturer, but pretty bad as a course coordinator. Chem101 had the most inconsistent marking of any class I've ever taken. Quizzes took all day to do, and had to be worked on outside of class time. You cannot skip a question and come back to it on test, which is to prevent cheating but makes tests extra difficult.

Had her in 101 as a proffessor and her method of teaching wasn't too bad, but she's very strict. In Chem 102 she was the course coordinator and let's just say I'm happy I'm not a chem major who would ever have to have her again. If you want to enroll in a Chemistry program, UVic is not for you.

I've taken courses with Dr. Boice prior to online covid courses and the experience was much better, But now she basically cannot be contacted by email, lectures are completely confusing, and releases homework questions with obvious mistakes. Its too bad I'm in this course online because I think the quality of lectures would be better in person.

She was super helpful, used lots of demonstrations. If the majority of the people got a clicker-question wrong she went over it.

Any professor that has the time to edit ratings on rate my prof but doesnt respond to her own email is NOT a professor you should pay for you education. Take your 1st year chemistry education elsewhere.

Dr. Boice was my senior lab instructor. I think some of my difficulties with this course came from the shock of first-year uni, but she was not accessible even during the lab. Every lab is only out of 10, so it's easy to hemorrhage marks. I felt like she didn't want to be there or teach. I was also refused my accommodations.

CHEM 101 Fall 2022 - Dr. Boice switched part-way into the sem as prof & there was a clear descent in the class avg. My peers and I had a very difficult time following her lectures & noticed a lot of contradictions when she answered Qs. Many folks went to other chem prof's office hours for clarification. She is also difficult w/ CAL accommodations

Dr. Boice was amazing!! She stepped in when another lecturer was unable to continue with the course, and did a wonderful job! She made classes engaging through demonstrations to explain concepts, and was helpful when it came to answering questions.

Professor Boice's lectures were helpful, and she explained topics well with real-life examples. The pace she taught at was slow enough to absorb the material. She could have provided more practice questions; I found the quizzes to have questions on material, that was not found in the lectures. Tests were difficult and you could not go back to q's.
