Reviews of professor Rachel McNeish

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor McNeish makes you work hard to get the grade you want. She is also willing to help and takes time to give great feedback. If you study the material thoroughly, complete assignments (usually given every week), pay attention in lab and lecture, and ask questions, then you will be fine. Make sure to go to office hours if you need help.

She really makes you work for your grade. She is very picky about what she wants in the assignments & tests, but she is also very nice & clear with the information. She makes the material easier to understand. Lots of reading is required, & lots of studying is needed. She is always glad to help & answer questions, just make sure you work very hard.

Not an easy A, but if you put in the work you just might. Dont expect office hr. 2 midterms 1 cumulative exam all fill in short answer, no MC. Pop Quizzes, a research project, paper (worth a while test grade) & presentation to staff. Get ready to take a lot of notes and take the time to review notes after class. Pay special attention during lab.

New prof. from OHIO to CSUB. Don't expect an easy A from her. You have to put in work if you want a passing grade! She goes through lecture quickly so listen up and take as much notes possible -- sadly no electronics. If your a fast typer but a slow writer like me, start practicing note taking skills :(. Little rude but quirky at best.

Very uninspiring. Grading system not transparent. Lectures boil down to write what she dictates. Lots of group projects make it tolerable. Not very personable - sometimes comes over as hostile towards students.
