Reviews of professor Alexis Shusterman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Honestly, the exams were extremely fair and her lectures were super  easy to understand. I only have very limited amount of chem background (took 8th grade chem), and I fumbled on the final exam, but having a clobber as well as 3 midterms helped a lot. I think honestly you don't need to study much, her content is well reflected on the exams well.

If you took AP Chem in high school, this class is not very difficult. In fact, we did not have to know the exceptions to rules and I personally felt like I was doing a lot less memorization than in AP Chem. The last unit was the most difficult, but it was still doable. Dr. Shusterman will hold your hand and guide you through Chem 1A.

Took this P/NP. I love her teaching style, and she made some of the most confusing ideas digestible for the class. Exams are similar to past exams so study those to understand what she expects of you. No surprises, she makes herself available during office hours and ed stem. HW is through Aktiv, need to buy that, unlimited attempts. Great class!

Shusterman addresses topics in a very simplified way. Readings help if you want a deeper understanding of the topics, but they weren't necessary. Discussions felt boring but were helpful. She releases practice exams from previous semester, which are the most helpful for understanding the material you will see on the exams.

I loved taking Chem 1A with Dr. S! Her lectures were really enjoyable and she was easily accessible outside class through Ed Discussion. As long as you understand the concepts, do the homework and go to office hours, you will be good. Make sure to do the practice exams several times if you want to ace the actual exams! :)

Had her for 32 and 1A, extremely enthusiastic and talented professor throughout both classes. It's unbelievable how much time and effort she puts into responding to questions on Ed. Highly recommend using Ed Discussion to answer questions, she provides detailed and enthusiastic responses with very short wait times in the days leading up to exams.
