Reviews of professor Lisa Funari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Funari is one of the best professors I've had. While she was held back by the shared material of the class, she managed to make the most out of it during lectures. Highly recommend Professor Funari if you need to take Chem 110.

I had Lisa as my lab TA in CHEM113. She was so dedicated to making sure everyone was successful in the course. She was a very fair grader, and always had extremely helpful explanations when anyone had a question. Easily the best TA I've ever had.

Vague grading, slow replies, slow grading, and you get your grades late and with little information on why you got the grades you got.

Professor Funari had really great lectures which allowed for everyone to understand the content a bit better. But if you are not struggling with the content, the lectures are often too dumbed-down and boring. Attendance is a decent portion of your grade so you might have to sit through the most mind-numbing lectures.

Incredibly kind and willing to help whenever you need it. Chem110 is generally a very difficult class and very test heavy, but she is willing to go over what to do to improve your grade in the class, answer questions whenever you have them, and is incredibly engaging and kind. Would take her class again!

Lisa is simply the best chem110 professor available, and she is one of the best professors I've ever had. She was my 110 professor and my 111 instructor, and she was accessible, humorous, and efficient in her teaching in both the lecture and lab contexts. If you can take a class with Lisa Funari you absolutely should.

Dr. Funari is the sweetest human being I've ever met. She gets so excited about chemistry and it makes you care about it too. And she cares so much about her students - she tells us to make good choices and be safe every weekend, and it made PSU feel so welcoming. I wish I could take more of her classes, I absolutely love her.

The professor is amazing but gives too many top hats. also, the top hats are marked on correctness. she gives a lot of work, but the good part is you just need a total 75% in your homeorks, cat quizzes, plqs and a million other assignments to get the max grade in their respective categories. The course is not hard if you attend lectures and do work

Chem 110 is really hard no matter which prof you have, but Funari made it much more managable. she gave everyone the last 10-15 minutes of every lecture to do practice problems and helped you if you were confused. Take her class if you can.

I absolutely loved Professor Funari! She made lectures super fun while managing to articulate the material clearly. Exams were tough, but as long as you attend lecture and complete the homework on time, you're in good shape. Overall, CHEM 110 is a lot of work -- it's a weed-out for a reason -- so make sure to put in the effort.
