  If you have the opportunity to take any class with Dr. O, do it. Chem202 is a difficult course, but Dr. O has many resources for extra practice. Practice exams reflect exam material exceptionally. Very accessible outside of class. Holds review sessions before every exam. Partial credit was given. Stops during lecture to ask for questions.

  Exceptional professor, even though the class was extremely early it was completely worth it because her lectures actually make sense. Do not hesitate to ask a question she is always available. Great professor, if you want to understand chemistry, take Dr.O

  Dr.O might be the most caring professor I have ever come across. On the very first day she makes it known that she will give you everything you need in order to be successful. She is humorous, kind, lively, and most importantly truly cares. I enjoyed her so much a based my entire schedule for the next semester entirely around her chem 122 lecture.

  Dr. O is one of the best professors I've had. She is super caring and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She takes many opportunities for students to reach out. Going to take her again for chem 122 next fall.

  Super sweet and she doesn't judge if you don't know something. Just ask her a question and she'll try her absolute best to help you out. I'm hoping to take her for chem 122. I loved her as a professor I just don't enjoy chemistry that much. Totally would recommend her as a professor. Homework for every chapter & tests are like study guides.

  Very nice professor that is extremely accessible in and out of class. She always tries to make sure that her students understand the material and provides a lot of extra resources like review sessions and appointments if anyone needs help. Theres homework for each unit but its not much just a few problems so grades are mainly based on test scores.

  Dr. O is an amazing chem professor. She loves what she does & cares for the success of her students. She takes her time to explain topics, multiple times if needed. Xtra practice is provided and is helpful for exams. Exams are the same as study guides. Homework is one assignment per chapter, but goes along w/what we're learning and is fairly simple

  Dr. O makes is clear that she loves her job and wants us to understand the material rather than just quickly talk about it during lectures. She frequently asks if students have questions and her homework goes perfectly along with what she teaches in lecture. Study material for tests was provided and clear. She is very accessible outside of lecture.

  Dr.O is a great professor. I would not say it is easy, organic chemistry is a hard concept to learn. Attendance is not mandatory, there is no homework or quizzes. The only thing in the grade book is your test grades. What you put into the class is what you will get out of it. She is super easy to follow and wants her students to succeed.

  She is a wonderful professor. She is always very willing to help and is open to repeating herself and explaining content again to make sure we understand it. I suggest going to office hours and her review sessions so you can understand all of the content. She also curves the overall grade at the end of the semester!

  She truly wants you succeed, chemistry is undoubtedly very hard and intimidating. She made it accessible and clear and you will know exactly what's on the exams. She posts everything on canvas and hold office hours frequently, you only fail if you allow yourself to. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will want to attend so you can ask questions.

  Dr. O is an incredible teacher. She goes slowly and makes sure the class is understanding the information. If you have a chance to take her class.... DO IT. She's so understanding and caring and very easy to reach outside of class.

  Dr.Oschenrider was the greatest professor i've had. She understands the student struggle. She says it is our choice to come since she posts the slides online. Her reviews are also recorded and very similar to the questions that will be on the test and her practice test is also similar. She curves final grades only depending on the class average

Im a senior and have postponed taking chem because my last professor was so awful but Im glad i took it with Dr. O. Definitely take her!! Especially if chem is intimidating to you.

  I had Dr. O for lab, so we never interacted with her physically in class, but she uploaded videos before each lab explaining all of the background information, processes, and calculations very thoroughly. This was really helpful and made the lab substantially easier. She's great at teaching, I'd love to have her for a non-lab class someday.
