Reviews of professor Brandi West

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Brandi was well liked by our section. However, we definitely went over time with prerecorded lectures added to live problem solving. We used Chem101 for our hw/tests (difficult for most), which didn't work well for our final. The feel of the class was like high school, punishing our inappropriate chat use. Overall, solid lecs & good tutorials.

A gem of a professor. Adapted incredibly well to the Covid situation by doing a "flipped classroom" method. Makes incredibly thorough (and cheery!) theory videos to watch at home (about 30 min to 1 hour long per week) so we could focus on practice problems in class. Is clearly dedicated to her work and her students.

She posted lots of great videos that were helpful in understanding topics but when it came to live lectures I found her teaching to be very ineffective. She would just copy the answers from her notes onto the screen for us to follow along instead of really teaching. Had to do a lot of teaching to myself to make up for this.
