Reviews of professor Deborah Snaddon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I was very apprehensive because she didn't allow ANY devices in class, this means if you take notes on a tablet you're kind of out of luck.

She really exemplifies the night and day difference a good professor will have on your experience. Even with the relatively fast paced class she utilized the time to thoroughly explain all the important parts of each topic. There are plenty of examples and guided practice opportunities. 

Also she's just a really cool lady, highly recommend!

Not the worst prof I've ever had but definitely not the best. Hard to access outside of class.

Prof. Snaddon is a pretty good instructor, but I don't like how she set up MC. They are so pointless in helping us prepare for quiz/exams. 

I would recommend to watch the discussion videos and solve problems along with it to prepare for quiz/exam. GO TO THE OFFICE HOURS, she answered any questions on MC. Doing this was how I passed this class.

I hate chemistry and didn't really go to the lectures as often as I should. If you just take the time to sit down and actually learn and practice the material you will be fine. All extra credit helps, honestly that's probably why I passed. She gives lots of things to practice with and is very clear when you have a question.

Horrible Professor! She was gone for a whole month back in 2021 and the AI's had to teach. She was very rude and sarcastic to her students. I remember she made a study cry because her question was 'stupid'. Would not recommend. I took orgo and passed with a A- but this class was so much difficult because her teaching was horrible.

Professor Snaddon was no nonsense, but she was kind. The work moved quickly but you just have to stay on top of it and take notes and you'll get through it. She was a very good teacher I thought all the lectures made sense. She also gave extra credit which really pulled my grade up so stay on top of it. Highly recommend her if you have a choice!

If you want to study for hours upon hours on end before exams and then still fail, then this class is the one for you. I've worked harder than I have for any class for this level of chem and still haven't had a positive experience.

For a 100 level, this class is ridiculously challenging. It's supposed to prepare for 117, but is beyond difficult.

Snaddon really cares about her students and their grades, so she sets the class up in a way that makes it hard to get anything but an A. However, she is very rude and condescending, so it may be hard to ask questions when needed. Doing the homework and practice questions and showing up to discussion is what sets students up for an A.
