Reviews of professor Helena Metzker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall I think Ms. Metzker is a great professor. She's knowledgeable, caring and passionate. This course was math heavy, although it was basic concepts. Late work in MyMathLab is not accepted even for partial credit. This course did not line up very well with it's lab portion, at least this semester. I would take a course with her again.

CHM 107 counts for a science gen ed. This class is 8 weeks. She doesn't follow anything in her syllabus and changed the midterm exam date after it was supposed to have opened. On top of this, she does not reply to any emails. Don't take this class with her, she doesn't care. Also hides all the grades so you don't know how you're doing.

Took an online chem class with her and I would never take a class with her again. She never responded to students emails and wasnt accessible at all. The course was condensed into a quarter instead of a semester so the material was SUPER fast paced. Had SO MUCH work that was easy to just look up the answers for but then you dont retain it.

In my experience, she is extremely caring and passionate of what she teaches in class. She provides resources to help understand the material if still struggling. Don't forget to study definitions, that was my set back on exams. Homework due dates will sneak up on you if not careful. I would take her again if opportunity was there.

I had her for half on a semester before she dropped from teaching for family reasons. She made us complete the online homework questions (which is like 20 questions but you have to get 2 right to get a question completely right, so it took forever). Then she would have us do pretests which also took forever. The tests were hard.

We were supposed to have 9 labs this semester. Due to her poor timing and lack of planning we have had 6. None of the information about grading has been updated, and I am going into the final not actually understanding what percentage of my grade it will be worth

I took this as a block class, so there was a lot of content crammed into 8 weeks, which meant a lot of homework. However, this class seemed to be a lot easier than an in-person chem class. There was about a test and four hours of homework a week. A couple of months later, I honestly don't remember any of the content.

I would not reccomend taking chem 107 with Helena Metzker. Class is mandatory and is weighted very heavily. The assignments are hard and I feel as though the assignments do not help with the tests at all. Tests are also weighted very heavily with not very many questions and high points per question.
