Reviews of professor Madlina Babakhanlou Babs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had the pleasure of taking Chem 66 with her. First off, she's so encouraging towards her students, she always offers inspirational words of kindness. She was so understanding of each student's challenges especially during covid, more professors need to be like her. Offered extensions, extra credit, and partial credit for missed problems.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Ive always had a bad experience with Chemistry so I was really nervous about this class. But she makes her lessons so understandable and she genuinely cares about her students so much that its really difficult to not pass her class with a good grade. LOVE HER!

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Seriously, if youre having a hard time with Chemistry, TAKE HER! You wont regret it! Super caring and helpful whenever you need clarity about topics. Plus shes super funny!! I wish she taught more classes though.

Took her in the Spring semester, it is now currently Summer semester and I have not gotten a grade yet on my transcript. Only her class too compared to the other four classes I have taken. It's quite concerning. Overall, disappointed in taking this class. Do NOT recommend.

If you need a Chemistry class take this class. You won't regret it. I emailed Professor Babs several times with different concerns and each time she responded immediately and addressed all my concerns. I enjoyed her lectures and appreciated the mnemonics she came up with to help us remember certain things. I did better in her class then I expect

This woman is not meant for online teaching. Gives no clear instructions on labs and assignments and just expects you to figure it out. She hosts test review sessions hours before the exam and only announced it to students the day before. No organization. Nothing on the syllabus is followed. Total mess of a class. Take someone better.

Professor Babs is one of the rare professors who want their students to do well. She is reachable outside of the classroom, and actually listens when you speak up. Her exams come straight from her lectures and if you stick to them, you get an easy A.

Professor Babs was amazing! I don't agree with some of the other people who left bad reviews. They unjustly left them even before the semester was over. She is a fair grader and gives great lectures. She really wants her students to succeed and always makes herself available. Given the opportunity, I would love to take another class

I wish she put as much effort into grading things and teaching as she did stroking her own ego. She claims she is so caring and reachable outside class to help her students but she is short tempered and gets exasperated with students when they need help. Getting grades back takes WEEKS. Assignments are unclear. Avoid the headache by avoiding her.
