Summer 2023 - Dr. Prado is a great professor if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. She painstakingly goes through the smallest details and repeats things until absolutely everyone gets it. If you have a chemistry background or just have an aptitude for learning things by the 2nd time, Dr. Prado might not be for you. I don't know if it's just me, but spending hours on stoichiometry, which is arguably rather easy and something you just need to practice because there's not a lot of conceptual theory to learn, is a catastrophic waste of time (especially when the final exam barely covers it). Why couldn't we have dedicated more time to figuring out the strength of acids and bases when that was literally the entire final? She really holds your hand through the most basic things but then you're on your own for the stuff that's actually relevant on the exam. The midterm was pretty easy (in my opinion, average was a B), but the final was way harder than anything we ever did in class, homework, or discussion. I also found that Dr. Prado wasted a lot of time. She spent 10 minutes complaining about a spider, which I get can be rough especially if you're scared of them, but for a summer session, 10 minutes is a lot of time. Attendance is also mandatory/graded, which sucks for summer classes. One thing I really liked was that she gives you previous exams to study from, and they were actually helpful. Overall, by no means the worst professor, and she definitely has strengths, but I was thoroughly annoyed by the end of the class.
