There is so much extra work to do. homework almost every week, literature reviews every two weeks, worksheets every 2 weeks, quizzes every week, and tests every month. and on top of that you HAVE TO read the book if you plan on getting a B+/A because lecture goes extremely fast as there is not enough time in the semester to cover all the material. I liked the way Brunke teaches but i HATE the way she grades. we were the only ochem class that did no get curves on our exams even though the other classes did and we had about the same class average. and i noticed that Brunke's exams are longer than Carney's and you don't get extra time to finish even when you start the exam late b/c she is talking for a really long time before passing them out

Pros: Somewhat of an easy grader, usually fair
Cons: scattered, unorganized, horrible lecture notes- she is all over the board and rarely legible, plays favorites- so you will hear how she is so sweet from some.
If you have the choice between Brunke and Carney, take Carney.

Brunke is very smart, and she is always willing to answer questions (and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking them). The exams can be hard, but it's organic chemistry...it's going to be hard no matter what. The book is very helpful, but not required.

Very hard class but she is the best teacher to have for it
