Reviews of professor Barbara Klaritch

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I was an A student until this professor. Lowest grade ever received and not my fault. I studied exactly what was covered in course and in textbook. Then took her exam that had nothing to do with what was taught or in the textbook. Waste of time studying. Better to guess. Something is mentally wrong with her; she should be fired. Avoid at all costs.

I had Professor Klaritch for organic chemistry I lab and it was the worst experience. She is a kind professor and will help you in the laboratory as much as you need, but she is the toughest grader that I have ever met. She will read everything you write and call you out on any mistakes you make. She also refuses to change grades on anything.

DID NOT LIKE HER. She is wayyy too picky and constantly bashes the way the lab book is written so she makes up her own way. Though the answers for the pre labs are in the book those are not the answers she wants but rather the answers she puts on the slides which she does not tell you unless you ask. GLAD IT'S OVER

Prof Klaritch is the sweetest person ever. She is very helpful in class when you have questions and provides detailed lectures explaining the experiments. She is a picky grader, but you can always check your report sheet with her to make sure you're on the right track. She also sets up a lot of the experiments for you and starts right on time (8am)

She is a horrible professor. Don't bother paying attention in lecture because whatever she teaches won't be on the exam. Also, get ready to get points taken off for minuscule mistakes, and for not doing things her way. Drop her class while you still have the chance. Or else you will be averaging a sold 40-60, even if you work hard.

She grades so harshly. She takes off points wherever she can and does not tell you specifically what she wants. She doesn't want the answers that are in the textbook but doesn't explain what she wants. The lecture before lab is also very very long and full of unnecessary information meaning you get out later. Take someone else.

This was supposed to be an easy class as it is the "baby" orgo class but this professor was not given that description. She graded students VERY harshly and would get frustrated if you didn't remember something from CHM 1 or 2. Overall, we all did well, but the nitpicking was a little overbearing. She would take off a point here and there.

has no business teaching. orgo is hard & goes out her way to make it harder. + blames the school for her incompetency. vague and misleading about test material and she's as unclear about her grading. reads off the slides and horribly explains only a handful of problems in class. if she's your only option, rely on the TB and YouTube.
