Reviews of professor Codrina Ewbank - Popescu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
All lecture based so you have to show up to class. Not much homework so most of your grade is tests. She does have a heavy accent. Shes a great person! She is super fun in class and cracks jokes, but her classes are a little unorganized and hard to follow.

I had Popescu for chem lab & as my advisor for a little bit. Shes just mean and makes you feel stupid. Shes the only professor to ever make me cry just bc I walked into her office for an advisor meeting without knocking, the door was open btw, so she could see me. She had me turn around, walk out and come in and knock like I was in kindergarten.

What is indicative of her as a professor is her abismal rating on this site, despite teaching mostly upper-level courses. She has students who want to learn and are engaged in the material, but her outlook on student-faculty relationships is incredibly outdated, and her communication skills are nonexistent; she is disrespectful in every interaction

The class itself is on easier material, but Popescu did not allow for the class to be easy. She incorporated minuscule things to which made the class harder than it needed to be. She is a great person and has a great personality, but her teaching style and teaching pace was horrid. She fell behind ALOT and would assign large assignments. Not fun.

An awful professor and person, does not understand everyone does not learn the same way. she will undermine you and make comments that attack and question your intelligence. I would invest in a tutor to review questions or mistakes, does not explain things well and gets distracted easily. Do not know why she is still allowed to teach.

The content of Chem 112 is hard on its own so it's hard to find a good teacher. All lecture based so you have to show up to class. Not much homework so most of your grade is tests. She does have a heavy accent. Shes a great person! She is super fun in class and cracks jokes, but her classes are a little unorganized and hard to follow.

Dr. Popescu notes are a bit all over the place, which can make it difficult to follow. There are 5 tests, including the final, but they're very similar to the homework and practice tests. She also gives a lot of practice problems before each test, that usually took several hours to finish. There is also a big group project that was very repetitive.

Dr. Popescu is very smart, but her lectures can be a little all over the place. Sometimes she was dismissive of questions which sucks but she is willing to meet outside of class. There is an absurd amount of homework but it's nice to have a lot of practice before tests. Tests are very similar to practice tests that she provides. Overall a good prof
