All u hav to do is to follow her class notes and do the limited edition homework to make an a.
she's hot!!!
Great teacher, follow class notes and do study guides and you should be fine.
Take her, Take her! Dr. McCloskey is a great professor and is very helpful. Very patient with answering questions and she is not too proud or impatient to help students with problems! But you still need to read your Book. Helps in preparation of tests!
Very patient and nice. She adds little things to make chemistry more fun and easier to understand.
She is a very good teacher, I highly recommend her!
Very helpful and kind. I would recommend this teacher to anyone.
Very helpful....
She is the best CHEM teacher that can ever exist!!! I have taken both CHEM 1211 and 1212 with her, had enjoyed the classes so much; got an A in both CHEMs really easy. She makes the subject really enjoyable. And you DO learn so much!!!!
Very nice teacher. Always willing to help and makes chemistry fun and understandable!! Take her!!
PATIENCE IS HER LOGO. I USE TO HATE CHEMISTRY, BUT SHE MADE IT SO MUCH FUN. SHE HAS THE EASY STYLE OF TEACHING IN A WAY THAT THE MOST DUMB PERSON WILL UNDERSTAND. FOLLOW CLASS NOTES. PRACTISE STUDY GUIDE. YOU CAN REWARD YOURSELF WITH A GRADE OF "A&qu
she is really nice and also very helpful!!!! I would definately recommend taking her!!
Final grade based on 4 tests (lowest grade gets dropped) but if you do better on final, that will be your finaly grade. She's not the most intelligent, gets off topic quite frequently, and is boring.
love this teacher... she was awesome!!! I hate chemistry at first... but she makes it sooo clear and fun. Don't need to by book... just her own note book.. that should get you an A already! Drop lowest test grade. If make an A on final than that is your grade even if u made an F throughout the yr.
She is a born teacher. Buy her course pack and skip the text-book. She WANTS the students to understand the material and is very available if you need extra help. Very smart, but tolerant lady. Take this professor if you want to understand (and pass) Chemistry. If you do homework you'll get an A.
SHe is great! at first she is a litte confusing but I think chem is confusing anyway. She takes the time to explain and even the dumbest person will soon get it. Take her if you can.
She is sweet as a dandy. Hate chemistry, but she teaches so well that you will not only understand the subject, you will also fall in love with it. BEST CHEM TEACHER IN GPC. Now I know that there is no hard subject or a dumb student IF YOU HAVE A GOOD TEACHER. Teaching style encourages you to excel.
Great teacher! She was always available for additional help. She explained everything in detail. She puts all off the class notes on her website. This is a great study tool. I would recommend her to everyone.
At first she's a little confusing, but once you get going she makes this difficult class easy. She's available for outside help & doesn't make you feel dumb-she knows how hard it can be. Easy to approach-nice lady-Great teacher!!!
Great teacher! Makes this hard subject easier. She is always perfectly prepared for the class, notes from the class are always on-line. You still have to work hard, but you will enjoy this class.
she's great if you just want to get through it for med school or pharmacy- but not if you ever want to persue a career in research, or any in depth understanding of the fundamentals of organic chem.
Her notes and study guide are very helpful. She's very organized in her classroom teaching and her tests are straight forward. I was really nervous about this class but I have an A. I study a lot before tests because it is a lot to learn but her teaching is very clear.
Yeh, she is one of the best teachers ever! Very clear and helpful!
She totally sucked I had no idea what the hell she was talking about...she flipped from this to that so much that I hate chemistry now and swore from there on I would never take another...Thanks Dr McCloskey I appreciate it.
She's organized with prepared handbooks of own notes and examples that she goes over in class which you can buy at the GPC book store. Not a hard teacher, you should put your study time in, like any other class. Very Tech Savy. You can get keys to tests and H.W. on her website. Unfortunately, after Spring '05 no final A, for A on final if F in clas
Dr. McCloskey is fabulous. She's teaches from her notes and is always writing examples on the board to reinforce the info. She has tons and tons of office hours for students and is more than willing to help anyone. Her labs are the best! All her tests in class and labs are indentical to what she teaches. She is more than fair! Take her!
Study the notes. The tests are taken directly from them. If you want to understand organic chemistry, take someone else. All she gives is the mechanics of chemistry, no theory... at all... none... completely useless if you want to continue on in chemistry or to understand bio chemistry.
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. After each test I saw my chances of med school slipping away. You will not learn chemistry concepts in her class, just how to figure the molarity and/or enthalpy of cow dung.
Undoubtedly best Chem teacher @ GPC.Exams are straight forward w/no tricks. Tech savy with her notes and lectures, offers plenty of outside the classroom help.I never even took High School chem and she's given me more confidence moving on to 1211. Don't hesitate to reg. 4 her class if your schedule allows it.
I like her. The way she teaches is very clear. she goes through everything and i don't think students have problems at all except they are lazy.
Wow, if you did not care for Chem before, you will certainly like it after taking her class. She is extremely straightforward with tests (no tricks) Very prepared: online notes with tape recorded audio lectures from the previous lectures. I failed before taking her and passed with a high B after. She is caring and wants her students to do well.:-)
Great Teacher
Mrs McCloskey is the kind of teacher most people would want to take for Chemistry. Her lectures are very straight forward and taught in a logical manner. All of her lecture notes are available on her website as is the audio. Her coursepack is also an invaluable tool and provides loads of examples and problems.
She started off good, she knows her stuff, her tests are not that hard, the only thing is she grades really hard. She's very picky about answers. Like she'll take points off when she's looking at your work even if your final answer is right.
Good teacher and likes the subject. Posts her notes online. Study from her notes, the tests are harder than they seem. I worked my but off for a B. Always willing to help.
This is Dr. Candice McCloskey; my name has been changed to Dr. Candice Campbell. But I am the same professor!
Great class! very easy to follow, anyone would understand, fair tests, fair grading.
Yes, Chemistry is a hard subject. However, Dr. MC. explains the problems very well and gives you easy problems to practice. She makes CHEM a clear and understandable subject. I recommended! If you don't miss class and do your homework, you'll be just fine.
Great teacher. If u just listen to what she teaches u will be fine. For the tests she will let u know what is going to be on it. just study the reviews.
Very good teacher...Her class is very well explained and she will test u just like her homework or the old test that she practice on during class. If u want an easy A take her but u better pay attention to what she say in class and review her notes before the test. she has an exelent use of her webpage. Just study what she tells u.
Great teacher. If you take her you can not go wrong. She goes over everything and her test are just like the homework problems. If you miss a class not a problem she post all lecture notes online for you to go over.
Cannot believe her teachings... do not recommend her at alll... I think she is getting worst each year.
I am taking organic lab in this 07,spring, she is so helpeful, and demonsterate procedures first.Her grading is also fair,she is the one to take organic,don't wait, register now.
she very good. she made me fall inlove with the course. i will take she again if i had to. easy A if you take notes and come to class for review
She is very good at explaining just what you need to know. She does not waste time on things that are not relevant. I will suggest her class to anybody . She is the best chemistry teacher I have had so far.
LOVE HER!!! All you have to do is show up, read the material, study her practice tests, and you'll do GREAT! If you can't do any of that, then you probably wont do so well.
She's great at giving plenty of examples and problems to make sure you understand how to work them.
Go to class and study the notes and you will do well!!!
I am only understanding chemistry because of this woman. I'm in another professors class (in chemistry)and learning nothing from him. He simply rereads the text to us and then gives exstreamly tricky tests!! He really is the worst professor. Then I found Dr Campbell's web-site (thank-GOD)Now I'm learning chemistry.
THIS TEACHER DOESN'T REFER TO THE TEXT BOOK. WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY LEAD WAY, VERY NONCHANLANT, MONO TONE JUST LIKE THE GUY FROM CLEAR EYES.IF YOU WANT TO PASS ORGANIC CHEMISTRY DON'T TAKE CANDICE MCCLOSKEY!!!
one of the best teachers I'v ever had. She recorded her class and put it online along with her class notes. You have PLENTY of chances to get the leassons, I wouldn't take a chem class with any other teacher. I got a 98 in the end.
Not that great of a teacher. She does not care about the success of the students. Her attitude is very dry. She did mention earlier in the term that she had a high failure rate for the sum 07 session and I see why. This lady is very evil. She waits until the end of class to give back test grades so she can easily slip out of the door. Beware people
It is clear that this lady does not care about the success of students. She has a very non-caring attitude. I sense a lot of evil coming from this lady. It's funny how she waits until the very end of class to give back test grades so she can leave right away. She takes away points for the most simple mistakes on her exam. DON'T TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS LADY. THIS WILL BE THE WORSE MISTAKE THAT YOU WILL EVER MAKE! SHE WANTS YOU TO FAIL!!!! SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS! SHE CONVENIENTLY CHANGED THE POINT STRUCTURE ON HER TEST THAT WAS TAKEN ON 10/29/07. HOW STRANGE IS THAT? VERY BAD ATTITUDE AND SHE DOES NOT CARE! STAY AWAY FROM THIS LADY IF YOU ARE ON MED OR PHARM TRACK!
Do not take chenistry at GPC Dunwoody you willregret it!
Let's just say that I wished that I would have withdrawn a longtime ago. That option is no longer available as of 10/15/07. Honestly, I have started to re-evaluate my career plans and I am currently looking into other fields. I have run into too many instructors with her attitude and I cannot deal with it any more. Thanks Dr. McCloskey.
Dr. McClosky is a wonderful teacher, regardless of her amount of work. If you can come to class PREPARED, and actually PAY ATTENTION. Also, to anyone who says she is not helpful.. SHE PUTS HER NOTES, LECTURES,HOMEWORK + ANSWERS, AND STUDY GUIDES ON HER WEBSITE!!! what more do you need?
Dr. McCloaky, I am taking you for Chem 1151 right now, and I would really appreciate it if you would teach Human Anatomy and Physiology. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an awesome teacher, and I wish you would teach Bio!
As for Dr. McClosky's attitude: To anyone who has ever seen the show scrubs, Dr.McClosky is Dr. Cox in female form. She has his mannerism. Just like him she doesn't tolerate stupid questions, yet if you can get your act together, she is the BEST! Your great Dr. McClosky!
I registered for Dr. McCloskey's class because I received good feedback about her teaching. Honestly, I see a big difference in reality vs the feedback I received. I don't know what is behind the change. May be she is going through something in her life. May God bless you Dr. McCloskey. Everything will work out.
Awesome. Like the female version of Scrub's Dr. Cox. An all around great teacher. You will be very glad you took her class!
loved her!! I took her for chem 1 and 2 and i got a's and b's, never failed a test, and I took chem with 2 other teachers at gpc, and they were horrible, she just puts it all out there and makes it easy to learn, you must attend her classes, or you will be lost, but thats with all chem classes. Take her, you will be greatful!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER IF YOU WANT TO BE MEDICNE OR PHARMACY MAJORS. BECUASE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO WILL IN THE P-M-CAT.OR YOU WILL SPEND YEAR TO UNDERSTAND THIS COURSES.
Dr. Campbell was a good teacher. Just study hard, come to class prepared, and you will do just fine. Attendance is a must due to the large amount of info to absorb. I did not do as well as I liked in the course, this had nothing to do with the teacher but my own personal issues. I felt that she was very fair and considerate. Thanks Dr. Campbell.
She is great if you want to get an A in her class just take all notes and do all homework and you be fine. Great teacher.
The best teacher ever!!! She is really helpful in answering questions. Her test come exactly from her notes. Her class is not an easy A. I did have to work my behind off, but come on it organic chemistry. Overall, she is vEry nice and humble! TAKE HER
she's reallly nice, you'll get good grade if you spend a little time to study the notes!
I took her for both CHEM 2641 and CHEM 2642. she is wonderful. she makes you easily understand this complex subject. take her you will learn a lot.
Attendance in class is very helpful in performance
Oh my God all I can say that her husband is one lucky man. She is so cool and HOT!! I have bever been attracted to a teacher but this one...Her attitude, teaching method, way she explains herself is just awesome. I love her and her teaching method. I had her for lab and lecture. Easy A AS LONG AS YOU STUDY!! GUYs this is organic 2!!
She's a great professor. She may seem a bit unapproachable, but she really is nice when you talk to her. She posts her lecture vids online, which is really helpful. Her exams are like the homework problems. Keep practicing them and you should be okay. Organic chem is no joke.
She is the best teacher.
Let's just say I passed OChem at UCLA a few yrs back, but left feeling very disheartened. After taking Dr. McCloskey for both 2641 & 2642, she has restored my faith in becoming a doctor. Teaches only what she expects u to know. Never needed my book. Even records lectures so u can go back over things u missed. 1 of the best profs I've ever had!
She is f* ****..biachh...all of my works were 100 and As..Final wasn't hard, it was easy for me, but end up with a B-my first B in the labs out of 8 labs in my entire college so far...go he**....
I took her lecture and lab as well. DO NOT take this one. I don't think she should be a teacher. She never teach a thing. You are on ur own. Asking a question, forget about it because she will hate you for that and will show on your final grade. SHOULD BE RETIRED!!! AND GIVE BACK MY SCHOOL MONEY!!!WASTED!!!
Very difficult to understand. Very unfair between students so try to not make her upset. Can't predict her mood. Really need to retire. Never see a smile from her face, make chemistry no fun. Suck..
I took Dr. Campbell in organic I & II. She is very easy professor. Her style is straight forward, do her homework, go over her lecuters, and you will make a very easy A on her tests. You don't need to use the book at all. However,is that she is very selective in the covered topics. For students who intend to take the MCAt, I would recommend others.
loves what she teachs but in some ways a horrible teacher. if you dont have a solid base on your sciences, DO NOT TAKE HER. she shows no sympathy for those who dont remember/know from high school, and will not elaborate on anything. but if you like or are majoring in chem, she's pretty good.
very rude and unhelpful. difficult to understand. boring and difficult to follow.
Really Knows her stuff. She puts all lecture notes on line but this is not a substitute for attending class. Organic chemistry takes practice so do the homework and review notes on a regular basis. Keep up and you will do fine.
Great professor! She may seem unapproachable, but she is actually a very nice and helpful teacher. She does test reviews that cover exactly what is on the test. If you miss, she puts her lectures online. Show up and you will get an A in the class
She expects you to get concepts quickly/completely. Does a decent job with explaining things, but gets extremely impatient/almost condescending when you ask questions. She lets you know what you need to know for tests and is a fair grader, but if science isn't your best subject I suggest you take someone more willing to work with you. (She won't!)
Great! She is always available at her office to help students.
she teaches well but she is never prepared, she flips through pages....She is the worst professor i have ever and she is always happy when the class fails the test....She is just teaching for the money and doesnt care about student success...
Does not correlate the lecture from text, yet assigns exam question from the text. EXTREMELY BORING!!!
Overall I think Dr. Campbell is the best chemistry professor anyone could ever want. She is very thorough, goes over anything you need help with and provides after class study reviews for exams..(you won't find many professors willing to give up their time). Take her and do your best and at the end of the day you will be happy, I promise! :-)
Aka, Dr. McCloskey, is sooo intelligent and able to relay it easily, but she is also down to earth. She explains the ideas better than the book -she knows her stuff. She gives 4 tests drops 1 (lowest) and a final. She is soo innovative, she video/audio records the lectures, so it's not so bad to miss. She really cares about her students success.
FANTASTIC professor! I have taken Poteat, and I have seen Burkart and Kim teach. TAKE HER IF SHE TEACHES YOUR SECTION. She explains very clearly and doesn't assume that students have prior chem knowledge. Tests are based from her HW. Lots of short questions on tests so if you miss something it isn't 10% of your grade.
I took Dr. Campbell for lab and I am soooo glad I did. She is awesome. Her labs are so easy, and she is very helpful. She only gave one lab report the whole semester. She looks like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing, but she actually does. Take her if you want a good and easy teacher.
Bad Bad Bad she makes mistakes all the time. If you only study for her tests and take the MCAT/PCAT you will realize she didn't teach you at all. Gives you very bad foundations, tells you very little why things work that way and expects you to just memorize. Takes a lot of points off for very small mistakes.
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.
Wonderful professor!!! She explain everything so well, help to prep you for the test, I can't tell good enough ! English is my second language and I'm not a chemistry person at all but Mrs. C makes you understand and study guide ...you just cant do bad ! Take her!
Wonderful. I highly recommend her to everyone!It should be an easy A in lecture and lab. Nice professor
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!
She is a really good professor
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.
Took her for general chem 1 lecture and organic 1 lecture. Gives good lectures and records it. 4 tests and that is the only grade with the final. Must study hard to get A or B.
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.
Do not take Organic Chemistry 2 with this professor. You will regret it later. My class was scared to ask questions in class because she was so rude to people who did ask questions.
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.
Honestly dont expect an easy A.. so study like a normal student. She is far the most straightforward teacher Ive had. Visit her at her office and shell give you excellent feedback. Let her know you care about your grades. Give her respect and youll get respect back.
her study guides are just like the exams. follow her lecture and study youll be fine. its very possible to teach yourself outside of her class.
Don't take her runnnn!! she is very mean and rude her tests are awfully hard and she gives grades based on her mood. She doesn't understand her students or her job. Told her to post our grades and she said that's too much work as if that's not her job!!! take someone else please!
