Dr. Hatab is very sweet! She's always willing to help students, and she tries to ensure there are plenty of resources to help each student succeed even in a difficult course.

Dr.Hatab was an ok professor. She didn't always make things super clear but was helpful if you went to office hours and reviews. She constantly contradicted herself and I felt like she was always lying about exam prep in terms of what was on the exam. The final exam was super hard. Overall, she was alright but most would say better than others.

Dr. Hatab is your best bet for chemistry here at UTK. Dr. Hatab is great at explaining concepts in lecture and wants her students to succeed. The exams are tough but if you take 1-2 hours a day to review you should understand the concepts fairly well. Take advantage of the SI sessions and the workshops!

This was one of the most unhelpful professors I have ever attempted to work with. She was the overall professor for my Chemistry Lab, but the TAs were the only ones actually interacting with students. Don't even attempt to email her with a question because it will not get answered unless you physically go see her. Good luck.

Dr. Hatab really cares about her students. However, sometimes her lectures are not clear but she will answer any question you have as long as you are brave enough to ask. The downfall was the exams. They often contain many questions that were not covered and the material in the review often does not match either. If you work hard, you will be fine!

She is by far one of the most caring professors I have taken. She is very accessible and ready to help when needed, as long as you pay attention to her examples, you will do well! The content is hard, but she is the best at putting things into layman's terms. Make sure to utilize her office hours and NEVER miss her test reviews.

Dr. Hatab is the best professor you can take. She truly cares if her students understand the material. Her lectures are very good, provides you with powerpoints to take your notes on, and records all her lectures. She also offers extra credit quizzes unlike other chemistry professors. This is my second time taking chem and she has been so helpful.

A lot of people complain about hatab, but imo she was a amazing professor, she gave you what you needed to pass and her exam reviews were amazing. Her lectures were super helpful and helped a lot with the hw. I would have loved to have hatab as my teacher for all of my chemistry classes. She was also super helpful during office hours.

Dr. Hatab is a great chemistry professor. Goes out of her way to prepare you for exams by hosting a review session outside of class before exams. Keeps lectures focused on exactly what is on the exams rather than teaching information we won't ever need. Helpful if you go to office hours.
