She may be fine w/other classes,but it's obvious she doesn't enjoy 1212. The tests are nothing like the HW or notes and she rushes through things.

Taking this organic class as a transient student from a university school. Organic's no joke but Dr. Campbell is super helpful and even posts her lectures online! Which is the BEST thing ever. She makes sure she answers any questions you have thoroughly and she is super nice. Her tests come from the homework and class reviews.

Took this teacher becuz I heard she was very good in teaching organic chem but no. She is also dont help student if you ask her, she gets annoying if asking her twice to a problem which does not make senses. she really dont care if you understand or not and no Exact Credit at all.

Its better to study by yourself. She only teaches whatever that is going to be on the tests. if you plan for further education, I wouldn't recommend her at all!

Dr. Campbell knows her stuff. Her recorded lectures are straight forward, and all of it will be on the test. Everything is memorization but it's very doable because she tells you exactly what you need to know. 3/4 tests counts. She is VERY picky with grading but there is 1 ext credit. The new homework will take hours so do it ahead. Great class!

Dr. Campbell (aka Dr. McCloskey) is a great professor, and explains chemistry in a way that students can understand. She even went so far as letting us retake a test that most of us did bad on, and we did not need the book. She posts her lectures online, so that's beneficial also. I recommend her to anyone needing chemistry.

Dr. McCloskey is a wonderful teacher. Her explanations are very clear, and has her own custom-made homework sets. She posts all her lectures and notes online in PDF and video form. Register for her class early: It will fill up and you will have to take Poteat (blah). I plan on taking her again.

she doesnt use the book at all, just follow her notes which are on her website so there is no point of attending class cuz everything is online. %75 tests and %25 final so there is no hw and project to help the grade. and SHE DOESNT CURVE THE GRADES EVEN 89.1

Dr. McCloskey is AMAZING! Definitely have to put in a lot of work in her class, but it's VERY possible to get an A. DON'T need the book! There's 4 exams, plus a final, and she drops your lowest (but not final). Each exam is worth 20%. HW is recommended but not mandatory. She has review for exam and does HW problems in class. Her lab is easy too!

Not an easy subject, but she does really well at explaining what you need to know for the tests. All of her lectures are recorded and put online. The tests are ALL of the grade, which is good for some and bad for others. I'm signing up for her Organic 2 class. Her labs are incredibly easy and fun. The quizzes are easy if you study for them

She flies through material and is not good at explaining it. Students have to learn it on their own. Everyone is scared to ask questions because of her rude attitude. I don't reccommend.

Very bad at explaining concepts, sometimes outright teaches you the wrong thing (like leaving off leading zeros in decimal values). If you read the book and study on your own you will be ok but don't expect to learn much from her. Even asking questions in class won't guarantee that things will be made clearer, she acts like it should be obvious.

She had 4 tests and drops the lowest one which really helps you get the grade you want. Her study guides are almost identical to her tests so if do them and study those you should be set for the test. She only has tests and has NO homework or quizzes. She told her students to get the book but we never used it.

She acted as it's annoying that you have questions, bad attitude. She let you going back and redo the quizzes, only 5%. It won't help much on your grade. The main scores that you will get are from the 3 tests which is 75% and Final exam is 25%. I have to say that I made a mistake choosing this class. I agree with the other low rating opinions.

she is not nice person and gets angry with students without reason. tests are easy compared to other teachers. get a hold of past tests because she repeats tests. just don't ask questions and you be ok. if you can take someone else for lab i would. that is where she is the meanest. class is pointless. watch her recorded lectures online instead

Dr. Campbell was a great, straight forward professor. She goes over practice problems constantly throughout class and writes everything out. Study that and you ace the tests. She is kinda quirky. I enjoyed her class a lot. Work hard and you'll get an A.

The professor is very hard to talk to. She is very rude when you ask her questions. She only had 4 tests as her grades. Therefore, every exam counted very heavily for your final grade. I personally talked to other professors and counselors, and they could not believe this professor's expectations. She also takes off more than 5 points for units.

She take's attendance. And that's it. If you want to do all of your studying and learning of the basics of chemistry on your own, take this teacher. The only thing you are graded on is attendance and the tests throughout the semester. She doesnt teach, expects you to know everything, and if you ask any questions she ridicules you pompously. Awful.

Dr. Campbell is a tough professor but if you are nice to her, she will be nice to you. If you have a problem with a lab quiz or report, she will help you. Read the lab before class, fill out your lab notebook, do good on the reports, and you will pass.

The person below me probably never went to class, didn't try, or was mad because they failed. This professor was the nicest organic teacher I have ever had. She is extremely understanding and will help you in everything you need. She was never rude when asked questions in class. You must work hard for this class it requires a lot a lot of practice.
