Reviews of professor Margo Richardson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took gen chem lab with Professor Montgomery. First of all , she has poor communication skills ,therefore, you end up not knowing what is expected on the assignments. For the majority of the labs , she would just show up and ask you to get started . She would not explain details from the Lab, and seemed to get bothered if you asked any questions.

Make sure you pay attention in lecture and write everything down. Be sure to take advantage of office hours.

Dr Montgomery is a tough instructor but really fair. She does not use PowerPoint like most instructors instead she writes everything on the board, a plus. Her exams are hard but fair and she always post a completely worked out answer key so you can see what exactly you did wrong. Has a tendency to talk rather fast but overall one of the best

I took CHEM101 with her and she is very clear with how she teaches. You don't need the text book at all unless you struggle with chemistry and what a reference. If she doesn't mention it in class then it will not be on the test. She will go over material as long as you need and only teaches about half a chapter per class.

Great teacher. She explains the lessons of each chapter of the textbook clearly. If you go through the chapter questions and study the text then it will prepare you for the test. She takes the questions from the textbook for exams. Memorize all you need and you will be good to go. It takes effort, but its worth it.

She let us know of all the resources that we needed to study for. If you put in the effort and do the practice questions in the textbook at home, then you should be good. One word- STUDY!!!!! I think a lot of my fellow classmates were hard on her. This is college, not high school. The textbook is your key! Take notes! Memorize what you need to.
