If you need to take Orgo 1, please take it with Sherbo. She was genuinely so sweet and wanted everyone to succeed. She let us use a notecard for all exams and gave lots of extra credit opportunities- I think I ended the class with a 105%. Her exams were fair; she's not trying to trick you. Lectures were clear. I wish she taught orgo 2!CHEM2311 2025-12-18 19:26:22 +0000 UTC
Professor Sherbo teaches the content really well and makes it very easy to do well in her class. Definitely recommend taking her for orgo 1CHEM2311 2025-12-16 04:53:27 +0000 UTC
Amazing teacher! Best teacher I ever had at Northeastern.CHEM2311 2025-12-12 00:39:52 +0000 UTC
Absolutely amazing professor. She's a great grader, her lectures are very clear and easy to follow. Gives plenty of office hours if you need the extra help, and she actually cares about her students. Would 100% take her again if she taught orgo 2.CHEM2311 2025-12-11 17:38:06 +0000 UTC
Easiest professor I've had an Northeastern. The orgo 1 course material is already so easy, but she explains it really well. Class moved very slow so if you're interested in orgo be ready to be patient. DO HER EXTRA CREDIT AND PROBLEM SETS! I ended with a 107% in the class and only had to get a 52% for an A+. She always posts lecture notesCHEM2311 2025-12-10 18:48:52 +0000 UTC
AMAZING chem professor I'm so sad she doesn't teach orgo 2. She's super generous with grading, lectures are very clear and slower paced, exams are super straightforward. She is very open to helping students outside of class. Lets you bring a notecard for exams and only assignments are Activ problem sets. BEST orgo prof at northeastern by far!CHEM2311 2025-12-09 00:45:20 +0000 UTC
Class is EXTREMELY structured and organized. She tells you every testable topic and question type and makes the content very understandable. Also allows index card during exam. Attendance is measured by live, in-class questions. MINE the extra credit, pay attention, and ask questions when you need it, and you'll be fine.CHEM2311 2025-12-05 17:13:36 +0000 UTC
Literally the best professor I've had in the chem department. Lectures are super clear and paced appropriately, exams are what you expect (and based on the lectures) and her extra credit problem sets really help your grade. I would 100% take orgo 2 with her if she taught it.CHEM2311 2025-12-04 16:21:20 +0000 UTC
she's genuinely so sweet and caring and makes Orgo so easy. Participation is online so you don't have to be there in perosn and she always posts her annotated notes online. Also gives so much extra credit. Exams are straightforward so as long as you understand the homework you'll get 100% on the exams. Genuinely I think I ended with a 103%CHEM2311 2025-11-20 12:38:04 +0000 UTC
Really enjoyed her class, loved the lectures with the skeleton slides. Easy to understand, and her tests were good too. The homework was good too, all practice problems.CHEM2311 2025-09-03 01:14:10 +0000 UTC
She is probably one of the best chem profs at Northeastern. She cares sooo much about her students and wants them all to succeed. I wish the tests weren't weighted so heavy but she lets you bring in a flashcard and she is always available for extra helpCHEM2311 2025-04-17 19:47:15 +0000 UTC
Best chemistry teacher ive ever hadCHEM2311 2025-01-28 22:39:08 +0000 UTC
Very effective professor for a difficult course. Lectures were direct and to the point. Class time was used very effectively, lectures contained a lot of useful information, and there are more than enough office hours to discuss any questions. Professor Sherbo is very approachable and kind. Overall, a difficult class taught by a great professor.CHEM2311 2024-12-13 01:37:32 +0000 UTC
Prof Sherbo did an amazing job at teaching o chem, she let us use a note card for the exams so she never emphasized memorization and instead wanted us to understand things. She had lots of office hours and always made time to answer any questions you had. The exams were straight forward and she goes over what topics will be covered very clearly.CHEM2311 2024-12-12 06:21:48 +0000 UTC
