Reviews of professor Kelley Bethoney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The subject is challenging, but Dr. Bethoney works hard to help her students understand the material. Dr. Bethoney cares about every student and tries to provide material to help us prepare for every upcoming assignment. There is no coasting in this class, but Dr. Bethoney is there when needed to get through the tough material.

This course was a shortened online class, so it was intense and very lecture heavy. There are a lot of assignments/labs required as well as exams/quizzes. Very time consuming and tedious to someone who is not a BIO major. Professor was GREAT, very helpful and incredibly fair!

No good for biochemistry! Wait for Fall and take it with Vaden. She may know her biochemistry and can tell okay stories but she does not know how to teach. Any of her students will be lucky to remember maybe the bare minimum of biochemistry from this unorganized course. Being oversaturated with content does not make any course a quality course.

I had Prof. Bethoney for Developmental Bio. She is the best Bio professor I have had at Rowan. I was intimidated by the class at first, but that went away with time. She engaged the students every class. She would relate to us during her lectures too. There was a lot of homework, but it is worth it. She makes you work for the grade.

Dev Bio with Dr. Bethoney was my favorite class I have ever taken. Definitely a challenging class and required work to succeed but she was an amazing professor! The quiz/exams were hard but she gave extra points if you put effort into her class. She was hilarious, constantly tried her best to make the class interesting and keep everyone intrigued.

Literally the worst professor I've ever had. Treats her students like children and then expects an extensive, very picky lab report, a difficult homework assignment and the memorization of 90 slide lectures full of material with textbook readings every week. She wont tell you what material should be prioritized and you never know what to expect.

Instead of explaining things in chronological order, she drops 1000 random things each lecture that you have to stitch together. Only 10% of the material is actually on the exams, and you'll NEVER know what that 10% is. She is so ambiguous with everything that most people were lost. I only learned snippets of info, can't explain how anything works.

Dr. Bethoney is by far one of the best professors I've had. I highly recommend taking notes on the textbook. Even though she gave us powerpoints, the book breaks the information down further. She is always willing to help and is sooo kind, she even gave us brownies on the last day of class. Hilarious professor and I highly recommend her!!!
