Comment:

She is an amazing teacher! This is just not an easy course anyways but she is very clear in everything she explains and she teaches you from the ground up and its so helpful! She wants you to fully understand everything not just pass the test. She is a tough grader but it is because she is so clear on whats expected.

Comment:

Prof. Bailey obviously is very intelligent, but she is quick to make the student feel dumb for not understanding. She is a very tough grader, with no extra credit or chances for retakes. She also prides herself on how "tricky" she is on tests.

Comment:

I took a lot of Chem in high school, so luckily I know what is going on. But I have never had a professor be such a hard grader on the smallest things. She wants you to show your work the way SHE wants it, or she counts off even if the answer is right and you showed your work. She is very condescending and is very quick to talk down to someone.

Bailey is great and she makes sure we are very clear on what will be on the test. She goes through multiple examples on each concept to ensure the class understands. Encourages office hours, tutoring, and asking questions to make sure you're ready for the test. Remember your formats and significant figures, and you'll be fine!

Comment:

I took Chemistry 1115 from different professor and managed to get easy A but when I took her class for chem 1215 I knew all i studied was not correct form. She does not give any bonus questions compared to other professor so it might have been difficult to get those points but she is definetely the best if you want to learn. A if you work hard.

Dr. Bailey is one of the best professors I have ever had to take. Her course is very tough, but she gives you all the tools you need to succeed in her class. I worked 40+ hours a week and have never taken a Chemistry class before (even in high school) and I passed with an A. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about chemistry.

Comment:

Her lectures are very organized and smooth, however, she's a tough grader and always finds a way to take off points on the tests even tho the answer is right. She is super strict and if the answer isn't the way she wants she WILL take off points. When asking for help she is somewhat helpful but, overall she's not a nice instructor.

Comment:

Dr. B is very fair. You cant bs anything, if you don't know it or don't study you will not pass. she gives clear objectives that you will need to know for tests. as units go on, the new units build on past material so you have to LEARN it. you cant just cram for tests. lab is tedious but it can really help your grade at the end if you try

Comment:

Prof B is great! Show up to every class and pay close attention to how she explains things and it should be an easy A or B. As a visual learner, college can be hard with profs who just talk, but she shows you how to work things out on the board very clearly. I've taken this class with another teacher before and failed, but she made it easy!

Comment:

Bailey explains things really well, and if you don't get something during lecture you can go to her office hours and she will help you understand. She is definitely a hard ass though, so be prepared to study and put in some serious time for this class. Just know it will pay off and you'll leave the class really knowing the material.

Comment:

Dr. Bailey is the greatest professor in the world! I took her for chem I and Organic I. She is perfect for pre-med students because she is tough, but teaches so well that you will have the knowledge for the MCAT. She will bend over backwards to help her students do as well as possible! Chemistry is a hard subject so be prepared to work hard!

Comment:

I have never, ever been treated so horrible by a professor at occc. She talked down to my entire class, she is extremely condescending and unhelpful. I would not recommend taking her unless you want to be told how much you DONT know and talked to like a child.

Comment:

Professor B is very nice. She tells you what is going to be on tests. But you definitely have to study lots if you want to make an A. Chemistry is not an easy class. She hands out powerpoint slides and is always willing to help you. She can be tough on grading because she is specific on what she wants. Overall she is helpful I would recommend.

She is smart in chemistry. But she can be very mean and disrespectful to you if you are not her former student or her favorite. Save yourself with some humiliation.

She was very clear and concise during lectures, however she talks in a very monotone voice, But she was absolutely great and I do recommend, just make sure you learn your sig figs.

Probably one of the best professors I had. Her lectures are clear and concise and and really wants students to ask questions if you don't understand. Tests can be tough but once you get the hang of doing calculations and sig figs then you can nail your exams.

Dr. Bailey is one of the best professors I have had. She is very patient and explains great. She is always willing to help students. I took her chemistry I class and it was one of the hardest things I've done. I couldn't have done it without her help. If you want to pass the class, don't miss one day of class, pay attention, study and ask for help
