Good
Prof. Kathryn is the most caring teacher ever! It's true that she gives hard tests and that she struggles to recall topics, but she shares her personal insight into your struggles and hurdles with chem. She genuinely wants you to succeed as well. You will be rewarded if you work hard in this class as well. Not to mention that she's really smart. Go and take her!

Awful
Prof. Wilson is terrible! I feel like everything you hate in a professor is in her. She's nice but she's completely incompetent. Since it was her first time teaching CHEM 120 class, it became like a guinea pig. It was very stressful with her to the point where you'd either get panic attacks or would just give up. We couldn't get the grades we wanted no matter how hard we tried.
