Comment:

Im a science major & this class is for people with high school chem & bio knowledge. False, this is the hardest class I have ever taken. It relies so much on group work & her exams are unfair. She says there's 10 questions, yeah with part a, b, c ,d, etc. Taking it online now is worse with 50 open ended questions with 2 hours to do so, impossible!!

Comment:

Dr. Keenan was so nice; a wonderful woman. However, her class was the hardest class I have ever taken. She purposely makes it hard so as to help you in the future, but if this class is not a requirement for you I recommend taking a different class. The group presentations are really the only thing that brings up your grade.

Comment:

She's a super tough grader. I usually never receive anything below a 90 on lab reports. Even though she only makes you do abstracts like 90% of the time, she's still extremely picky about it. Not too much work since you only have like 1-2 full lab reports, but since those abstracts are basically your whole grade, maybe choose a diff professor

Biochem its hard as hell but she gives you everything you need. Groupwork is hard but brings up your grade. Tests are EXTREMELY DETAILED but word for word from her notes. never touched the textbook but you should go to class because her notes on the board are basically the tests. presentation at the end is pretty simple. Notes are easy to follow.

Super hard grader, nicest lady ever though. Her class sucks, she doesn't go very into detail though. She moves quickly and has hard exams. would look for another professor If you want less homework.

Comment:

Dr. Keenan is an extremely nice lady, but chem is a tough subject. She gives multiple opportunities for you to raise your grade, like extra credits on exams, and group work. For most of lecture she will do practice problems on the board and have students do problems on the board which, for some students can be stressful. Overall a good professor.

Comment:

Made chemistry very easy to understand and gave us multiple opportunities to raise our grades. Did group work at least once a week and at least one long homework assignment each week. Tests covered EVERYTHING discussed during the lecture. Overall, it was a great course taught by an excellent professor.

Comment:

Chemistry is a daunting subject but don't feel discouraged! Dr. Keenan will help you. Her lectures could feel long sometimes, but she always does many sample problems and makes other people go up to the board. A portion of your grade is homework and group work, so make sure to come to class on those days and really work!

Comment:

Great professor, I don't really like not knowing what I should write but she tells you that what she writes on the board you write. She goes into detail and is very clear. Her grading criteria is very good includes, test, groupworks, homework and extra credit and if your not a good test taker the group works definitely bring up your grade so much.

Comment:

Great professor for Biochemistry. As others have previously said, study by rewriting the notes and you should do well. You can always go to her for help if you need it. Don't expect a good grade if you are not willing to put in the work. Biochemistry is an upper-level course and should be treated as such.

Keenan is amazing! I had her for chem 1 & was so lucky to have had her. She writes everything on the board so make sure to copy EVERYTHING! Gives many examples on the board to make sure all students understand. Has weekly hw on smartworks & gives you unlimited tries to get correct answer. Allows groups to work together to get EC on tests.

Comment:

I took Keenan for Chemistry for Life Science 2, she explained everything so well and simply to make sure we understood everything. The material was very hard but that isn't her fault. She gave partial credit on every test and does group work often, which is why I was able to do well in her class.

Nice lady, but her lectures are all over the place, and she's extremely unorganized. Her tests are also very all over the place, and she throws major curve balls.

Comment:

Very sweet, does her best to make it easy to understand, definitely wants her students to succeed. It's definitely recommended to go to class unless you have someone to help you with notes, because the slides she posts aren't her main lecture, they're just supplemental. The book wasn't necessary. Lots of group work.

Kelly is an awesome professor. She cares so much and is awesome at giving credit where credit is due; partial credit for trying! Chem is an extremely tough course but she makes sure all material is covered and to the right level of difficulty. Loveee Kelly

Comment:

Professor Keenan is a great professor. The material is not particularly difficult, but the sheer volume of it is. I took her for every class she teaches. She is always accessible during office hours. Don't bother buying any of the books. Tests are the main component of your grade. She also writes beautiful letters of recommendation.

Comment:

Keenan is a very nice woman, mellow and funny. She makes sure to summarize everything clearly that she's said on the board. You will miss a lot of important details if you don't come, bc the same details on the board aren't in the book or Powerpoint. Tests are relatively tough and you will do a LOT of group work.

Comment:

Probably the worst professor I had. All she cares about is biochem. Horrible teacher. I can't emphasize it enough. Dr. B is the professor to take for Chem 1. She doesn't care about any students. Don't go to her office hours it's a waste of your time might as well go to tutoring center or to another Chem prof for help.

Comment:

I already took ap chem in highschool so taking chem I was basically a review for me and everything came pretty easy after she reviewed it. Goes over lots of examples but you do need to put in work. Not a fly by class where you can wing it. you will not pass. but fair grader. tests can be long. you learn a lot i would recommend if you are not lazy

Comment:

It was clear this professor wanted nothing to do with answering questions. I went after class and no help was given to further explain or prepare me for the exam other then what was already taught. I absolutely hated this class. She is a tough grader and is not clear when teaching. Had to retake her class with a different professor of course.
