Reviews of professor Julie Donnelly

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Donnelly is really nice and genuinely cares about her students, but you gotta be ready to put in the work. Tests and RATs (quizzes) are your entire grade and she doesn't give any partial credit. I will say she gets grades in in like an hour but the exams are only 20 questions and if you get sig figs wrong you get no credit. Study a lot.

It is a flipped classroom which was hard in the beginning but you the hang of it as the semester goes on.She gives you a lot to study for the exams like the practice problems, a past exam, and her notes are good. I can't stress enough on how helpful SI and SARC is for this class, I think those two resources are the reason why I got an A.

Professor Donnelly is very kind and seems to care about her students.  However, her class is much more difficult than should be.  You will have to teach yourself almost everything as her "lecture" videos don't cover much of the content.  Exams are only 20 questions, no partial credit is given and they are graded extremely harshly.

Do not take her by any means. Her reverse classroom setting does not work since her lectures do not cover most of the material on the exams. Most of the grade is made up of exams with a small portion being in class assignments being only 5 questions. I was always good at chem until her class, where I failed the first exam. Spent most time with SARC

If Chemistry is not your strong suit please refrain from taking this prof. While Chem 2 is not an easy course her class is test heavy, her lectures are mainly just her doing example problems and walking around. She offers extra credit but the material is still difficult to understand. I DO NOT RECCOMEND HER. (take dixon)

Flipped classroom mode which I don't like. She makes the exams harder than it needs to be and the make up the vast majority of your grade. The class is manageable if you use outside resources (Chad's Prep and The Organic Chemistry Tutor) but her lectures are very surface level compared to her exam. I would avoid taking her if you can.

This class is tough. You will need to teach yourself everything and spend hours studying. Tests are worth a lot with only 20 questions. Reverse classroom and quizzes on specific days, they are graded. Attendance matters. Sometimes extra credit is provided. Professor responds to emails fast if you have questions.
