Comment:

Literally the worst teacher I have ever had. Labs were so stupid and wasteful of time. Quizzes were not over the labs at all. It literally took weeks for us to get a single lab back. She grades extremely crucially and hard. We literally got most of our papers back on the day of the final. DON'T DO IT

Comment:

9/10 would not recommend. Honestly I attended every lecture in the beginning and came to terms with the fact that they were useless. If you are stuck with her then I would just read the textbook chapter for chapter because that'll be better than paying attention to her "notes" which are super broad and useless.

Comment:

Please do not take professor manly! I went into this course with high hopes, thinking as long as I studied as hard as I can and do all my work I would be okay. WRONG. She does not help you understand what will be on the tests and doesn't follow the syllabus schedule which makes it nearly impossible to know what you'll be tested on. DO NOT TAKE !!

Comment:

She does an awful job of teaching the material. I have never seen a professor do a better job of turning an easy topic into something confusing. She will go over a topic for two weeks, then when the test comes around the material is no where to be found. She claims to take the test, but will offer no insight on what to prepare for. SAVE YOURSELF

Comment:

Professor Manly follows the syllabus strictly meaning no extra credit, no coming into labs with a wrong lab note book and no make ups. Regardless, I found her to be fair in grading and fairly good at explaining things although I feel the class was intentionally made to be tedious and punish students heavily for early mistakes.

Comment:

Worst Professor Ive ever had in my life. My entire life, Ive been an A student with the occasional B. This is my first C in a class ever. Shes awful, grades extremely hard over tedious things such as ml instead of mL. It says not to use derogatory terms so Im only thinking of them in my head. find another instructor. Worst Professor Ive seen.

Comment:

She is super old school, strict on lab attire, but nothing is unwarranted. If you show up prepared with your labs written and the right clothes, the class is easy. I was terrified at the beginning of the semester but she hasn't been terrible. She is hyper paranoid about cheating apparently, but I've never had an issue.

Comment:

She was very strict in lab but i appreciated her concern for safety. She could be very brash but also very sweet. However, she was the strictest grader I have met. You need to review your lab 3 times for mistakes. Something minor like using ml instead of mL in a calculation will get everything wrong. You can get do everything correctly and fail.

You basically have to teach yourself everything. She doesn't answer questions clearly. If she is your only option, DO NOT TAKE HER.

She is a terrible teacher and needs to be removed from the chem department and KSU. She is very mean and strict and is bad at explaining stuff. Also, her labs are taught by Grad students who barely know what they are doing and dont know what they are teaching. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

Comment:

Only a few grades given, and her tests sometimes cover material that she's said two sentences about. I had to teach myself everything. HW is harder than tests. Her lecture notes are not helpful. Simple concepts are made complicated, and she doesn't give you any tricks to better understand(there's a ton of chem tricks online so look at those.)

Comment:

Worst teacher of all time. DO NOT TAKE. Offers no help and won't even answer your questions in class. The tests are ridiculously short so miss just a few you fail. She could care less to see her students succeed you can tell all she cares about is getting a paycheck at the end of the day. If you want to fail chemistry and hate your life take her.

Comment:

Lectures long and boring, she doesn't really answer any questions she is asked. She always walks around them or says she doesn't know. She can never really help with anything and goes off on tangents not relating to the subject at hand which can be frustrating. All tests are 25 questions. I hate this because if you miss few questions you can fail

Comment:

Mrs. Manly is a nice, kind person, however her teaching style is nothing short of terrible. If you want to do good in her class, you will have to teach yourself the material by reading the textbook and doing the homework. Her lectures consist of her skimming through the notes she makes.

Comment:

Professor Manly is the worst teacher I've ever had. She does not know how to work up to date technology nor does she teach the class in a way a teacher should. She reads over the notes sheet and sometimes will write example but never explains things thoroughly. Every time I would ask a question she would actually say she did not know the answer.

Comment:

Manly didn't even teach our class, she let her assistant do all the talking and she was more confused than us. It was just very confusing and her assistant often got angry with us because we could not understand her teachings. Manly seemed nice but she taught to fast and that wasn't helpful for an already difficult lab course

Ms Manly is a good professor who wants all of her students to succeed. In her lecture, there are 4 tests and one ACS final that she cannot control. The other 4 tests are fairly easy, especially if you come in with a background in chemistry.

Comment:

Chemistry is a difficult class, and Manly is not the worst teacher I've ever had, but she certainly doesn't prepare you for the tests as well as the others do. She'll talk about a definition for 30 minutes, and breeze through an equation before you can copy half of it down. She seems to like talking more than teaching. If you study you will be ok
