Reviews of professor Chelsea Vickers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The professor is a biochemist & extremely knowledgeable. Uploaded new slides specific for class to add notes on. The professor is personable, motivated, & models excellence. Tons of exam review :). Every exam question was emphasized in class. I always predicted her exam questions. On exams aim is to comprehensively explain content with examples.

Chelseas lectures can sometimes be confusing and unclear. Theres no feedback on tests and quizzes which makes it hard to improve. The course has lots of content so if you wanna get a good grade you really have to study and make sure you understand whats going on. The textbook is kinda helpful but honestly I preferred going online for extra help

Chelseas lectures seemed easy to follow along to but when tests came it was like it had nothing to do with what we learned. Our final was "cumulative" but was only test heavy on the things from the last 3 weeks of class. Takes a long time to get marks back to you.

Chelsea was by far the worst professor I've experienced. She made almost every concept we went over seem harder than it was, which lead to confusion. She never answered questions in class well & when someone would ask the material on the midterm/final she didn't give clear answers. Her test questions were also difficult with no feedback on anything

This is Chelseas first professorship, and it shops. She reads off of slides almost word-for-word (slides made my the textbook publisher). The slides we use to study do not reflect the questions she asks. When we get graded material back there are no comments, just a grade, so no feedback. When someone asks questions she says "read in your textbook"

Does not listen to student questions long enough to understand them. Very defensive teacher , and doesnt have many practise questions so good luck trying to study.

I was in her class for her first semester teaching. She started out relying to heavily on reading from pre-made slides, but she started to do more work on the board to help. She is very knowledgeable and great to speak to in her office. I think she will improve her teaching style and be pretty great by next year.
