Reviews of professor Nancy Santagata

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Take her for Chem1110. I had a bad experience with a previous teacher in the department and failed the course. I took her online due to Covid and it was the best decision ever. Great lectures, fun projects, and really takes the time to keep you engaged and SHE WANTS YOU TO LEARN! Overall great class and would take her again.

Santagata is a 10/10. She's hilarious and relatable. She cares about her students and is willing to explain things over and over and in different ways. Her tests aren't easy, but if you pull your weight you'll be fine. The amount of material of this class makes it fast pace, but she'll slow down and help if you work with her outside of class.

In the remote course, there were lots of opportunities for extra credit and she was super understanding. I you ever needed anything, just shoot her or your TA an email. Very organized class structure. She really just wanted every student to learn something. If you do the work, you'll do well.

Dr. Santagata is a good professor. Chemistry is hard. Be sure to ask for help when you need it and pay attention to the homework. *This semester was online and her assignment posting was inconsistent and assignments were graded after a month(s)*

I loved Dr S! She was funny & knew her stuff &she was honest. Need the online access code for the homework & it takes some time but i did it after class each day. There is some extra credit even though she says there isnt & its not typical extra credit but do it. I skipped alot but I did the hmwk and read the PP. The final is hard. Class is curved

Most amazing lecturer, I could listen to her talk about chemistry for hours. Also the most inconsistent grading in lab and lecture projects. READ THE RUBRICS FOLLOW THE RUBRICS. Even following them you'll lose points but you'll lose more if you don't follow them. 4 test all very difficult Pearson code required. Fun to talk to not to test with.

Wish UofM would offer literally anyone else for CHEM 1111. Took this class during the pandemic and it was my first semester. Dr. S seems very nice but her grading is horrid and even got on to her TA's for grading "too nicely", while most ppl are failing. Does not care about students at all from a grading standpoint even during a pandemic. TERRIBLE

I ended up having to drop her class because she would not email me back in time. We had to do a quiz online and if we didnt, we would be automatically taken off the class. I tried emailing her several times and several days before it was due, telling her I had trouble finding it, And she replied once with a completely non-helpful answer.
