A lot of students organize their schedules around avoiding Dr. Dixon. This is because she teaches 6 chemistry classes up to Biochemistry 463, and it's likely every student will end up in her class at least once. I can help you navigate around her course times or help you pass her class on the 1st try.
Dr. Dixon's exams are very difficult and require more conceptual understanding and memorization than other professors.
Dr. Dixon heavily emphasizes on 3-D visualization for static molecules, reactions, and mechanisms.
