BC1601-BC1602 General Chemistry

Chapman is certainly on my list of top ten teachers ever. She gives a formal and professional lecture, but welcomes any and all questions in class, no matter how seemingly stupid. I really felt like she wanted us to understand the material, and since she is a walking genious of the subject, she did a great job explaining it, slowly and clearly. She was especially helpful during her office hours - the weekly problem sets are tough, but she is more than willing to help you figure it out, without actually feeding you the answers. The exams are hard, but what do you expect - it's chemistry! They hold no surprises if you study and keep up with prob. sets. True, you will hear that she is not a particularly loving, sweet-talking, motherly figure, but what does that matter? She know her stuff damn well, and she, unlike many who are also experts in their fields, know how to teach it.
