She is an amazing professor! I went into ochem pretty scared but she made the class fun and was very accessible outside of class. Going to her office hours is incredibly helpful in preparing for exams.

She is the best professor i have had at UW! she explains things very well and always encourages questions. I do recommend going to her office hours if you can to get help! The exams were not too difficult if you knew the material. Overall i highly encourage people to take her and i hope to have her in ochem :)

Kimberly is the best. I have never had a professor be so supportive and so helpful within the lecture hall and office hours. She is one of the best professors I have ever had and explains organic super well! Her lectures don't feel confusing and she highlights what is really important within the scope of the course. Take 343 with Kimberly!

Dr. Deglopper is one of the best professors at this University. She usually teaches organic chemistry, but she taught the 103 content really well. Her lectures were engaging and she is so passionate about teaching and ochem that I am looking forward to taking it with her! She is very clear and super helpful during office hours.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
The course is relatively easy as long as you attend lecture and pay attention. The professor talks a bit slow in class which I found a bit annoying but I think the concepts are explained well. The organization of the class is also great and the concepts build on each other well! The best part of the course are the TAs who give great explanations.

Professor DeGlopper was great! Couldn't have asked for a more passionate chem lecturer. She explains concepts clearly and does demos to help enforce the ideas. I'd say follow along in lecture and do the homework to reinforce the concepts.
