Comment:

Dr. Seney is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not just because of how great of a teacher she is but because she cares about every individual's success. I was in a class of over 70 students and yet it felt like she was with you the entire time. She makes her requirements clear and she'll go out of her way to make sure you understand.

Dr. Seney is a wonderful professor! She cares so much about each of her students and will do anything to help them. I never touched my book, though she does suggest doing practice problems in it, although I never felt I needed it. She does a great job of explaining the material.

Wonderful professor! It is obvious she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She's very kind and always willing to help you with the material you don't understand. She gives plenty of practice problems, her lectures are clear, and if you study, you'll do well.

Great professor. Takes the time to really get to know you, and make sure that you understand the material. Doesnt expect you to know anything she doesnt explicitly go over in class

Comment:

She gives very clear lectures, and is always willing to help her students succeed. She is also very motivational, and even refers to the tests as "celebrations". While there are pop quizzes, they don't count much and only a few are actually counted. Also, she gives out plenty of suggested problems that similar to test questions. Also fair grader!

Comment:

Dr. Seney is amazing! Tests are fair with good feedback and a lot of free-response (partial credit!) if the class doesn't get a concept she notices right away, explains differently, and doesn't rush. She will periodically give little motivational speeches, and she will tell you to practice, which you must. Do the Burdge problems, they really help!

Great person who genuinely cares about the success of all of her students. She routinely asks in class if anyone is struggling and ensures they get help along with giving motivational speeches to urge people to not give up no matter what grade they have.

Comment:

Dr. Seney cares about every student in her class. She makes sure that everyone has understood the topic she is teaching before she moves on. She has students get involved in her lesson to help you remember concepts better. If you've done Chemistry before, it's not too difficult. The textbook was mainly used for practice questions.

Dr. Seney really is an amazing professor. Having her was a blessing. She cares so much about every student. She goes over tons of examples and will make sure you understand before moving on. Also gives great motivational speeches during class. If you want an A in the class then do the book work. I PROMISE it will make a world of a difference.

She is amazing! I truly recommend. I hate chemistry, but had her for gen chem and she can really motivate you. She would give amazing motivational speeches like every class comparing the class to basketball or whatever other sport. It was pretty inspiring, I'd take gen chem again if I had her! Most caring teacher I have had.

Dr. Seney is my mom. She cares SO much about her students in and outside of class. Super willing to help in office hours. Clarifies in class to make sure everyone understands. Works countless example problems. Helps with lab reports. Literally best Chem decision I ever made was taking her. Tests are not especially easy or hard. Overall awesome!

I *love* Dr. Seney. She made Chemistry so enjoyable for me that I changed my major to it after two semesters with her for gen chem 1 and 2. She truly cares about her students and will go out of her way to help you.

Dr. Seney truly cares about her students' lives, both in and out of the classroom. Her passion for chemistry and clarity when teaching are remarkable. If you work hard (practice the "extra practice"problems she suggests from the text and the "in class" problems she hands out repeatedly),you will succeed in her class and learn a lot. TAKE SENEY!

Comment:

She teaches with great clarity, and in such a way that I understood exactly what she was talking about before I walked out of class each day. I have never had a class where I didn't need an SI or tutor to fully grasp the material. However, for this class, I did not have to attend SI even ONCE.
