Reviews of professor Kelly Theisen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Kelly is new but she's great! Her notes are very clear and all posted on Moodle. Every day she gives out a worksheet w/practice problems relating to the lecture, and usually you work on them in groups. She assigns very little HW and only has you read certain short sections of the textbook. Labs are mostly quick and easy.

Dr. Theisen is the best! Took Chem II this summer and she was great (I'm not even a student at Plattsburgh!) Attendance isn't mandatory but you will struggle if you don't go to class. Always group work in lecture, too. Helpful in lecture and lab, is clear, and she will work with you if you have an issue. Super nice and caring, too! I'll miss her!

Used little instruction when giving assignments, did not teach course material effectively, passive aggressive when you ask for help, utilized take home tests but they take up to at least 4-6 hours of your time, and her labs are the worst labs I've ever taken. For lab, she is under prepared and offers no help. Strongly advise another professor.

The entire course is very straightforward. If you have questions, Dr. Theisen is always available either in person or by email. Beware: If you skip lecture, you WILL NOT pass. I only missed three lectures and that was enough to bring me from an A to an A-. Overall, I had a great experience with Dr. Theisen; she is very sweet!

I love Kelly, she's so enthusiastic and so caring. She understand students have different needs and she is willing to meet them. Extremely approachable and will accommodate to make sure her students learn. She's new, but I wish the older professors would learn a thing or two from her.
