Reviews of professor Debra Weeks

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Debbie is awesome as a person but TERRIBLE as a professor. Everyone learns differently and she says as much but, you need to learn the material HER way. I had a one on one study session with her during quarantine and I didn't understand anything, I caught her rolling her eyes at me 6+ times. Will give extensions for valid reasons though.

Took CHEM 100 online course. Her lectures are very vague and she skips alot of steps on explaining the process of things so it is very hard to understand. Prepare to read a chapter a week, homework heavy, quizzes on every chapter, discussion forums, element paper required, recorded sustainability presentation making your own slides and outline

Debbie's got personality, but lacks good teaching skills. Her lecture's aren't very clear and concise, and I often found myself drifting in boredom. She's a lenient grader though, and would give out extra credit freely. However I don't recommend her if you're looking for an genuine learning experience.

I'm sorry but Weeks is a terrible professor. Her lectures are very vague and I feel like no one can grasp chemistry clearly if they've taken her class. BEWARE

I've taken both CHEM 161 and CHEM 162 lecture and Lab, I also have been her CHEM mentor to assist students. She is very experience in chemistry and is passionate about teaching. I agree that the lectures are long and sometimes hard to stay attentive, but this is expected of any science course. Make sure to read , try and if needed ask for help.

Chemistry is a tough subject, no two ways about it. However, Dr. Weeks allowed me to come out of chemistry with a much greater understanding of it, and a feeling that I was ready for later chemistry classes. Although her labs are a bit long and work heavy for a lab, she is constantly striving for improvement - stick with it. Free text book PDF :).
