Dr. Casey is the most beautiful human being I've ever met. Usually when people complement professors, it's either one of two things: 1) they're really cool and nice but aren't very good lecturers or 2) they're really knowledgeable and smart, but kind of a dick. Dr. Casey is cool, funny, nice, smart, helpful, kind, humble. She's literally any positive adjective you can think of.. With her awesome personality, her extra credit opportunities (rare in south campus), and fair (but still challenging) exams, we are looking at the future best professor at UCLA. Take her for as many classes as you can!

I have never left one of these but this woman is Gods gift to UCLA toxic pre-med culture. As a student of color who has to fight to maintain daily sanity I cry at how beautiful and inspiring she is. This is what God had in mind when he created the term teacher! She will have you recognize that you can do it and pre Ned is for you if it’s something you’ve been called to.

Awesome professor. Boring class.

*Review for Chem20L
Lecture:
Dr. Casey is an engaging professor who is very understanding and relatable. She is very cute and quirky even during an 8am lecture. She posts her lecture slides online, and she also prints the lecture slides for everyone to take at the beginning of lecture. Much of the material covered is basic chemistry or correlates with Chem20B material. It is sufficient to just understand what she teaches and to do the practice problems posted on CCLE. Overall, the class is fair and is a good introductory lab experience. The lab is run by the TAs, so your experience in the lab itself is dependent of which TA you get. You are expected to purchase a lab coat, lab goggles, and a lab notebook at the beginning of the quarter. You must be lab appropriate in order to perform labs.
Grade:
The class workload is quite heavy, considering that there is optional lecture, mandatory lab, pre-lab reports, and post-lab reports. The individual labs tend to be shorter, while partner labs are longer. However, most of the TAs grade pretty easily and it is possible to get full score. One word of caution is to keep track of sig figs. There was one midterm and a final. The midterm was in-class and most people were pressed for time. The exam covers a lot of material and intertwines many concepts into one question. For the final, time was not much of a constraint. However, you do need to know how to apply concepts and calculations into questions phrased in the form of word problems or scenarios. As long as you know your material well, you can easily get an A in the class.
