Reviews of professor Theresa Carlson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I understand the negative reviews honestly but I'm very horrible at chemistry and I always have a hard time hearing or seeing so the labs were difficult for me--especially with goggles on. Carlson is always eager to help but sometimes she just wants you to figure it out for better experience. I had a hard time but she helped me every now and then

Worst professor I ever had at City College. She thinks we should know Chemistry. Powerpoint and lecture material dosen't correlate with quizzes or exams. Way too much homework. Goes way too fast on material. Advise don't take HER.

Lab was self-guided since it was online but she was there to answer any questions if needed.

She expects insane lab reports and takes off so much points for the littlest things

Theresa makes chemistry even more hard than it is. She requires a lot more of what is expected for the lab report. She expects you to write and essay for the lab to get an A. In lab she doesnt help you at all and expects you to know how to do the lab and the calculations. She is also very sassy when you ask her questions or question her work.

She is nice and tries to be helpful but she is a HORRIBLE teacher!! She makes mistakes frequently , doesnt know how to explain anything, disorganized, & makes the labs & lab reports more complicated and longer than they need to be. Get ready spend 15 hours per lab report. my advice: stay the heck away from this class. Worst teacher I've ever had!

This was the worst teacher I've had so far. Unclear about homework assignments and what was to be graded on your labs when you turned them in. Lots of assignments and the teacher is incredibly picky about what should be on the lab report assignments, without specifying what she wants.

Prof Carlson is great for 120 and truly prepares her students for 141. I had Carlson for 120 and am now moving forward to 142 with a great grade because of the foundations she taught for 120. Go to office hours if you need help and there is extra credit. The OWLs are important to do well in the exams. Study and you will be fine. Good luck!

Not a bad teacher. Drops lowest quiz and lab. 10 labs, 10 quizzes, 4 exams. She is willing to help; if you are in lab with time to spare, take advantage of asking questions. Not a hard teacher and the tests reflect the quizzes (sometimes, but rarely, the labs). It does require some studying/understanding, though. Not really a class you can wing.

I found Professor Carlson to be helpful in my Chem lab. It was not an easy class for me at all but if you work really hard and ask questions you should do fine. Carlson is very friendly and approachable although it sometimes seems that she doesn't like questions ( I asked stupid questions) she will always try to help you out.
