Mrs. Palmer is always available for extra help and is a great teacher Ms. Palmer is very organized and hands back the tests and labs very quickly. The course is very good and interesting but, when people talk, Ms. Palmer could be more firm in silencing them and moving on with the classwork. Our class usually fools around and the teacher sometimes joins us. She is funny, and makes class fun. However I still learn a lot. Sometimes we get off track, but for the most part, we take notes and learn what we are suppose to know. Ms palmer is a good teacher, strict, but fun at the same time We get off track some of the time but most of the time we take notes and learn.

Ms. Palmer is almost always available for help and is very helpful. She gives me a lot of good comments, but sometimes she goes through our work but then doesn't give us a good grade after she has edited. Mrs. Palmer is a very fair teacher She is a very nice person to interact with and is happy to talk to use in a friendly manner outside the classroom. The teacher is really funny and makes all the students feel comfortable. Ms. Palmer is very fair and is flexible with a student's needs. She is always willing to help, and is as I said before, very funny. The teacher has a great sense of humor and is fun to learn with! Ms palmer is tough in grading

Ms. Palmer is very strong on the subject being taught. Mrs. Palmer explains things very well Lots of diverse learning experiences. Could be more interactive discussions to discuss concepts and theories. The only thing to improve on is to have better class discipline so more can be learned (by that I mean not allowing students to talk so much). I think that she is very knowledgeable about the subject. Although sometimes it takes a few times of explaining fo my classmates and I to understand the information. It is just us though Sometimes the students can tell that the teacher does not know the material she is teaching because her homework is off-topic. Ms. Palmer does explain things very well, but I find her to be a very hard grader. Sometimes she does not make it very clear of exactly how she wants us to answer an open ended or short answer question on a test. We have great discussions in class but sometimes the test are way to hard and graded unfairly. She knows a lot about our material. Like a lot

Next term I am going to work very hard to achieve better. Very, very, very good course!!! Very enjoyable and interesting!!! Sometimes the homework assignment take me a long time but most of the time it takes me about 45 minutes to complete, sometimes less, sometimes more. The teacher is enthusiastic and has a love and passion for the subject the she teaches and loves to see her student learn and grow in her classroom. I would expect to get around an A- in the course because, although it is challenging, if I study a lot and complete the homework, A- is a reasonable grade. Science is my worst subject
