Reviews of professor Wendy McKeen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. McKeen is really nice and helpful. Her tests were difficult but they were open notes. She offers a lot of extra credit and it helps a lot! I would not say this is an easy A class but it is doable with the effort put in. There were 4 exams total, some discussions, weekly online homework, and learning activity.

If you dont understand chem, dont take her class. She is sweet and funny but her tests are hard. all the material is given but she expects you to know how to do it. the only reason i got thru this class was because of teaching myself on youtube. I had to pay 70$ just to do my homework for this class, which was harder than exams.

Chemistry is a difficult subject and this professor just skips important material that you later find out by reading the text book. Her exam are difficult does NOT believe in curving grades! Even if the average is a 60% She expect her student to already know the information so she skips steps. Make sure to do all your lab assignments and study!

I took her class before and during the COVID pandemic and her labs were so difficult. She is lecture heavy and always gives out quizzes. Her exams are HARD. She always misses out information in her lectures that you have to find in the textbook. Honestly the txtbk taught better than her. Also, a lot of people failed her exams and got low grades.

Professor Mckeen was a great instructor! She goes through everything in great detail and is always available for extra help or clarification. Make sure you do the online homework as it prepares you for the exams.

Took McKeen for full ochem series and she is alright. Take Harman if you want a more quality education, but McKeen is okay. Homework system is annoying and there is a lot of it. She gives partial credit on exams. She grades lab too hard and she can be kind of moody, she is funny tho. Overall wouldn't take her again but wasn't the worst.

Shows up late to class, talks about herself A LOT, Lectures and labs are completely self taught. Expect you to know everything before starting the class leaving students confused. RCCD needs to hire more Chemistry teachers so students have more and better options than her. Seriously don't take her class unless you want to struggle

LOOK! Chemistry is tough and everyone knows that. Chem 1A is already a more advanced chem compared to intro to Chem. Professor McKeen is the most amazing person ever ! I took her over Winter 2023 and of course I struggled. I paid tutors and stayed after labs to ask questions &she was always willing to help. Her kindness is the reason I didn't quit.
