Reviews of professor Kevyn Gardner Ricossa

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class when it was on zoom. Many students disliked her methods and ways of teaching, but personally I did well. I admit she was very fast paced, but her lectures were recorded, so I could always go back and watch. Her tests were extremely difficult but a 50% was a C- in that class. I can only imagine how hard her class would be in person

Good professor for a hard course, CHM 2010 is condensed course but ricossa does not rush and her lectures are very understanding as they require you to interact with them instead of her just talking. She does have nany quizzes, (5 quizzes, 3 exams, final exam), but none of the questions will ever be something she never has thought.

She made what was supposed to be the hardest college course available completely painless and doable. I loved her straight forward lectures and notes. Quizzes and exams are easier than the homework, so as long as you do your homework and study a bit you'll be fine. One of the best prof. at cal poly in my opinion. LOTS of extra credit too. Love her

I really don't know why she is rated so low. She is willing to help outside of class if need be. The class itself is hard and it is important to get a good foundation which is in the beginning of the class. The class itself is also set on a curve where an 85% is an A. Ochem isn't easy, but she made it easy. Also offers practice exams/quizzes.

Do not be afraid to take her. I was afraid based on her reviews but she provides outlines for her notes and her lectures are very easy to understand. I could not make her scheduled OH times so I would email her and she would make time for me on zoom, EVEN ON WEEKENDS! She was honestly amazing and you should definitely take her.

Honestly from what i hear, gardner is the best choice when it comes to chm3140. She has three exams and a final. Exams are only 15% of your grade and the final is 20%. She gives practice quizzes and exams but no answer key to them but she will answer questions regarding them during office hours. I recommend watching all her lecture videos.
