Reviews of professor Wendy McKeen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof McKeen is very kind. Pretty basic format to her class: read the chapter, do the homework problems, sometimes have discussions, and watch her lecture videos. I only went to one of her office hours, but she was really nice & helped me out a lot. Tests were open notes so it was not too bad and not a harsh grader either. Pretty straightforward.

Prof. McKeen is very nice but I didn't like her methods. If you're confident in chem, take her. If not, stay away. I got an A+ in Intro Chem and I struggled greatly in her class (skips steps). Posts suggested homework assigned for every lecture, usually have to teach yourself. Labs are difficult but sometimes assigns group labs. GO TO TUTORING/SI!

Easy exam grader = hard lab grader. Mini exam (5 total) format, not 3 big exams. Mini exam every 2 weeks made it easier to digest material. Says that lab technique (synthesis!) = most important skill to take out of ochem. Seen in her harsh prelab grading. Always willing to answer ?'s during lab. Full lab points = REALLY good observations. Pt.1

Professor McKeen is great! Her online course does have a lot of work... so be prepared for that. The work helps you in your tests tho, and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. More specifically, she is accessible and good at responding to emails when I've reached out. She cares about her students and wants you to succeed in Chemistry.

There were a lot of labs every week, with the occasional mix of group projects and discussions. And Prof. Mckeen is a bit harsh on grading these labs! Most of this class was self-learning. If you need help with anything, though, office hours are helpful. In summary, a lot of work needs to be put in overall to succeed in this class; it's stressful

This professor makes everything as easy as she can. She recommends cheaper textbooks, gives you answer keys to the homework in the textbook (not for a grade), there is online homework that is graded but if you tell her you are having trouble with a problem she will really help you, and she make practice tests and worksheets.

She made OChem way less scary than what it truly is. I avoided Ochem forever but I am so glad I took it with her. She understands that the material is intense and whats to make you actually understand and enjoy it. Hilarious professor and I would take her again in a heartbeat. Not an easy A but definitely doable even with other science courses.

I took this course in person and let me just say please if you do NOT understand chemistry or haven't taken it for some time. DO NOT take professor McKeen. Her teaching style is fast paced and she expects you to know most of the material already. The test are HARD. I never took Chem, and had to teach myself through Youtube and Khan for the semester
