Skipping class is very risky and should be avoided. You have to factor in lots of extra time on homework because she expects you to go to her office hours to check it before it's due. Memorize your chemical nomenclature!!!! It's way important and WILL come up later.

Do the problem set and go to her office hours to ask her questions and you will be fine. She is a sweatheart and always their for her students.

By the end of the semester only 12 people were left in the class and the average was 53%. It was difficult and the learning environment was not pleasant in class. If you get her, do the practice problems but you have to actually understand them, go see her in office hours for questions about the practice problems and also to correct your lab, memorize the reactions and most importantly hope for good luck (I had her for organic chemistry but I have heard similar stories from chem of solutions)

Good notes, enough for a basic understanding of the concepts. She is a very knowledgeable teacher. Her examples are very basic. The only way to actually study for the tests are to do the suggested problems, and there are about 50 per chapter to do. She also suggests textbook problems. I scored a fairly good grade, but the average failed. I did not enjoy being in her class in all honesty. I have never seen a teacher lack so much empathy for the students. Forget about explaining your situation, asking for an extension, or even explaining technological difficulties to her. If you do not submit on time, you get a zero no matter how long you argue with her. Internet connection issue? Forget it, she literally told a student "Get a better connection, it's not my problem". She is also passive-aggressive and throws off-putting comments at you when you don't understand something. She barely has any patience, so you will have a hard time in the labs if you mess up. I am pretty sure the majority of the people in my class who took her try their best to get another chemistry teacher.

Ask the teacher exactly what she wants to see on the test. The teacher doesn't show all the steps she expects to see on tests/quizzes, resulting in many lost marks.
