Reviews of professor Anne Thomas

If you get her, you're cooked. She is not cooking. Get any other prof that's cooking. She makes you feel like a noob. #notaslay #cooked #noob

I have known her for 4 years and is extremely rude. Needs to calm down and understand that its just a chem lab ....its never that deep

She didn't directly involve the labs portion of this course and was mostly coordinating the TA team. I got a pretty strict TA so the experience was sad for me. Had minimal interaction with Anne, so can't say anything about her. However, most negative comments during the time were made because the student didn't follow the rules.

Very strict and tough. Takes it too seriously. VERY harsh marking and late penalties.

She did not reply to my email. 0 empathy

Lab portions of CHEM 121 and CHEM 123 are mainly dependent on who you get for your TA (whether they're a strict marker or not). Anne Thomas is only the coordinator and lab director of all the TAs. Based on my minimal interaction with her, as long as you are well prepared for the pre-labs, you will be fine, although her tone can be condescending.

Sure its a difficult leap into first-year labs but the workload is definitely manageable even with a full course load. There shouldn't be anyone crying from the work that's a crazy exaggeration. I'm more than halfway through the lab right now and its been fine.

By all means, she strictly follows all rules. But she has 0 compassion or empathy for any student. There were too many occasions to name all but for example, I received a mark of 0 on a logistics quiz because I submitted the quiz 2 minutes late. To "promote equality among all students", she essentially forbids making any form of accommodation.

give me a low grade without accordance

I understand being in charge of all the 1st year labs is hard. HOWEVER, she shows no empathy towards students. She does not reply to emails, and is extremely condescending in announcements and in-person. You will not encounter her much in the lab, but having her replaced would make 1st-year chemistry much better for EVERY first-year student.

First-year labs are too much work. The information in the experimental overview is unclear and too wordy.  Honestly, I don't see the point of writing your procedure. They said it's good practice for upper-year lab courses, but it's just an excuse for them to be lazy and not write the procedure themselves.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER WAY, DO NOT TAKE THE LABORATORY WITH ANNE. TAs mostly mark your work but for this class, there is A LOT to do for just 1 credit. I cried before all the labs and after. We had to create our research experiment write a lot! and there were no examples. I didn't even know what we had to do... for what? 1 credit? worst coordinator.
