The grade is mostly exams and such. It was a decent class and she was fun.

Would not recommend Dr. Rachel Willand-Charnley to anyone. So unorganized. Lost so many of our quizzes. It's so frustrating when she demands excellence of her students but can't keep track of our quizzes/exams. Tries to be funny but she is not. Its already a tough class and she makes it tougher.

Took Ochem II online during the summer. She doesn't test on what she lectures and the exams are 70% the grade! Homework takes a long time and is only 5% the grade. She kept changing the schedule, forgot to post discussion forums, and forgot about a project that was supposed to be 10% the grade. The class average was failing so she had to curve.

Took her Glycobiology class. It was interesting. A lot of information though in shorts amounts of time. Get ready to memorize a lot. Had a group project at the end, that was fun.

Homework is worth 1% of final grade. Expect to actually read through the textbook and spend a good amount of time studying outside of class. Says "the bottom line" and "take home message" a lot.

Office hours are hit or miss. She works well if you schedule one-on-one. I failed my first exam with this professor. Started making appointments with her every week. Never failed an exam again and got an A in the class.

Dr. Rachel Willand-Charnley is my far the most unorganized professor I have had. She would call for quizzes and then forget to make them. She would say she had the tests graded and then not give them back for weeks on end. In her lab portion, labs were not graded for the entire semester and we were told there was no lab final all semester long.

Grading scale wasn't clear. Would often change the one in the syllabus and gave students no realistic way to calculate our grades before the final. She blamed the class for lack of communication, but communication is a 2 way street. Doing homework isn't helpful. I didn't do it and I got an A. Most unprofessional and condescending professor!

Pretty funny. Happy I stuck with them. The class is scaled heavy on exams, but, such is professional school.

O chem is rough. The teacher was cool though and knew what they were talking about. Do the homework and forget about getting credit for it all of the time, it pays off in the end.

Took time to get back grades, but, was pretty fair in scaling and listening to me when I thought something wasn't fair. Pretty supportive. The class is structures like professional schools (grades depend mostly on exams, quizzes, and the final). Participate as much as you can and practice the homework.
