I think she's fantastic. She's extremely easy-going and understanding, not a tough grader. The only downside is that she doesn't really provide feedback and I think that would be helpful to get in order to improve.

This is a fabulous course. The readings are interesting. It is set up in an easy manner to study. The prof is readily available to help. The worksheets are easy to complete but you must put in the effort. I worked very hard in this course and am thrilled with my marks.

I took Women and Aging via envision. The course content and articles were very interesting and easy to understand. The weekly assignments were simple enough but she does not give grades away. The average grades for those submitting assignments was around 80%. I would take her courses again.

She is an amazing teacher. I took 2 of her women studies courses by correspondence and she was very helpful and extremely patient. She is also very understanding. I would definitely suggest one of her courses! :)

Did envision course. Really liked how there were worksheets to help keep you on the right track for the course. Worked really hard, found mark did not reflect how hard I worked. Course materials were very interesting. I would take a course from her again, I learned alot.

Women's Health Issues was a great class and she is a great prof. It's because she loves it. She is retired and still teaches this one class. She tells lots of personal stories and encourages other people too as well, which helps with the learning!

Needs to update her own knowledge on topics she is teaching. Not helpful when trying to clarify learning.

Had her as a prof twice. She's tells some interesting stories...gets a little off topic. Is willing to help in needed but marks rather hard. Overall, I would take her class again.

Comment:

Kechnie was an interesting teacher and entertaining to listen too. Have to go to class bc there isn't a 'read' text book. She is friendly and helpful, but she marks hard on essays and is picky about certain things. Good class

I liked the class. She got annoying near the end, but overall I liked her. She's pretty picky with some stuff but she's ok.
