Dr. Seney is a very cool person and a great teacher. The material isn't easy at all, but she is very helpful and very clear in class, and also makes it fun. She also is a great mentor outside the class room. I greatly recommend her for chemistry.
Dr. Seney's course was very tough, but she was very helpful.
wish she understood chemistry
She is a great person and will sit with you for hours if thats what it takes for you to understand the material. Also a great person to talk to about any problems youre having. I HIGHLY recommend her

I had to retake this course during the summer. Not the best time to attempt chemistry! Dr. Seney made it a wonderful experience however. She truly cares about her students and busted her butt to help us in any way possible. Highly recommended!
Dr. Seney is a great teacher. She really wants her students to learn and understand class material. Always remember...Chemistry is FUN!!
Dr. Seney is my HERO!!!!
Dr. Seney is truly a wonderful woman. Although I've only had her for UNV (not strictly an academic class), I expect she's a great teacher in chemistry too. She's empathetic, kind, and genuinely cares about her students-- she even made dinner for the lot o
difficul teacher. grades papers very hard. expects a lot. nice lady. wants to know about your life
I eventually dropped this class so i cant so it was easy ...i made a 4 on the ap chm test so i think i should have done well...when she says "explain" you need to explain times 5...i had answers right but didnt exp. and ended up w/ all failing t
Dr. Seney is great! She's very personable and always has fun in class. Sometimes she's a bit quiet w/ overwhelming classes, but always gets the job done. Hard grader on dailies, but wonderful in class!
i absolutely LOVE dr. seney!!! she's awesome!! really pushes her students and is one of the few teachers i've encountered that actually, genuinely cares for each and every one of her students! (and her dog is adorable too :)
She is a great Christian lady who is enthusiastic about chemistry. She is hard, but prepares you great for organic. She is big on problem solving.
She is very straight forward when it comes to the material she wants you to know for an exam. Be prepared for each class (quizzes), do the problems, and study for the exams because they are not easy. You will learn a lot.
She's hard and most of her class withdrew. She is not a reasonable prof.
awesome professor.. she is very enthusiastic and takes her teaching seriously. cares about her students. Her tests are HARD but you'll learn alot. Shes real big on problem solving.
She is an awesome teacher and an incredible person. You have to stay up on your studying, but you learn sooo much. She is ALWAYS willing to help. She not only teaches me Chemistry but also inspires and encourages me to be a better person. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Ggrrr.... soo hard. absolutely hated it. tests are impossible. gives pop quizzes. horrible class. HARD
She was my first CHM111 professor, and I HAD to withdraw. She's very nice and very pretty, and she is more than willing to help a student fix their problems. She isn't very clear on subject material though. I had a hard time understanding EVERYTHING she said. If you want an easy grade, do not take, but if you are willing to work hard, go for it
Dr. Seney is challenging but not impossible. She really wants her students to learn the material and she is way better than the other Gen. Chem. teachers. She just loves Chemistry. Tests are moderately difficult but if you know how to do the homework and attend class then you should do fine.
She is soooo sweet, and she definitely gets you excited about chemistry at nine in the morning. She was kind enough to invite the whole class to her house for a home cooked meal and a study session. She's very clear about everything she teaches and tells you exactly what she expects you to know
very enthusiastic about chemistry. Great teacher too!
She is a very, very sweet lady who cares SO much about Chemistry and about her students doing well. She is by no means easy-you have to study a LOT, she gives pop quizzes (which aren't hard if you're keeping up), and she moves pretty quickly, but she is always ready and VERY eager to help. I highly recommend her to anyone who can keep up.
She cares about her subject and students! Very sweet, wants you to succeed - but its UP TO YOU! Its a hard class. But if you do the suggested problems and ask questions about the ones you dont understand, you should be ok. Keep up so you'll be prepared for pop quizzes. Study HARD for tests. Good class though!
Dr. Seney is a great teacher!!! Some people say she's really hard, but if you keep up with the material you will be fine. You can tell she is really passionate about chemistry and she knows her stuff. Very helpful, christian woman. I suggest you take her if you really want to learn the material. :)
Her teaching is very organized and helpful.
Dr. Seney is a great teacher. She's very organized and her notes in class are very clear and helpful. She's always full of energy and so sweet. Her class is hard and her expectations are high, but if you keep up with the material and work hard, you can make a decent grade.
She's a great teacher. She's hard, but if you go to class and study hard, you will get so much out of the class. She's really nice, always upbeat, and funny. While attendance isn't mandatory, you have to go to class to learn, otherwise you will fail. Tests and pop quizzes require you to actually study every night. Tests are hard but fair.
Dr. Seney is the hardest general chemistry teacher at Mercer; however, her extreme organization and clarity of her teaching as well as her willingness to help make this class worth taking. She is a gem of a professor, and she will teach you well. I highly recommend her to potential chemistry majors. Her exams are really hard but passable.
Dr. Seney is the absolute best chem teacher. She's completely covers the material in a way in which it very easy to grasp (so I muct disagree with the prior comment; Pounds is the hardest), and everything comes from the notes and practice worksheets she gives out in class. TAKE HER! You will actually understand the material.
She's a great teacher, very organized and very smart. She is also very hard. Her tests will kick your butt. But if you need to learn Chemistry, this is the lady to take.
Dr. Seney is a very nice professor who sincerely cares about your future. She will help you in anyway she can. With that being said, she's extremely hard. Be sure to study every night because she gives 10 pop quizzes throughout the year. She is also quite picky on labs.
Dr. Seney is an incredible teacher! She is by far, my favorite professor at Mercer. However, you NEED to study every night because she gives a weekly pop quiz. Her tests are difficult, but passable. You need to write down good notes and do a lot of calculation problems. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
she still moves rapidly through the text, but is more than willing to slow down for students that demonstrate a eagerness to learn
She is willing to work with you and is very good at lecture. Lab she is very precise but will give help in class. She is great and knows her stuff. Take her for chemistry if you can!
Dr. Seney is a great teacher. I think she is one of the hardest chem teachers at Mercer but that't not necessarily a bad thing. If you really want to know everything about chemistry she is the one to take. She goes through things very fast but she is willing to slow down if you just ask. She is very analytical and really loves chemistry.
She is an incredible teacher. The class is hard, but she makes it fun and exciting. Take her if you get the chance. She is really nice and wants everyone to do well, but you have to study and work lots of problems. If you do your work and try your hardest, you will do well in the class. She has a great personality and is really funny.
Dr. Seney is one of the most amazing PEOPLE I know, let alone professors. She's such a great teacher, very clear and practical. It's rare that you find a professor who isn't so wrapped up in their own world that they take the time to do everything they can to help students. SHe actually WANTS to see students succeed. TAKE HER.
Dr.Seney is awesome!! She is very enthusiastic in class and makes chemistry fun! Although her tests are hard and she requires you to learn a lot while you're with her, she is very helpful and understanding. Trust me, she will brighten up your day!
Dr. Seney is AWESOME. I would take her for every science if I could. She genuinely cares about her students and will do anything to help. She held review sessions before tests sometimes. She has little quizzes in class which she took your best 10 grades. Her tests are very doable, and no major curveballs. She does a great job in lecutre. TAKE SENEY
She is an amazing teacher. She uses great examples and make it easy for you to grasp information. I would prefer to take her class over any other chemistry teacher
Dr. Seney is my favorite chemistry professor so far! She is extremely thorough in her notes and explanations of subject material. If you go to SI and the majority of her lectures you will make at least a B. Be warned, her class isn't easy and requires a lot of extra work. At the end of the day, it's worth it because the material stuck!
HER TEST ARE HARD! PERIOD!! she is nice and some say her tests are straightforward but she is just HARD!
She teaches with great clarity, and in such a way that I understood exactly what she was talking about before I walked out of class each day. I have never had a class where I didn't need an SI or tutor to fully grasp the material. However, for this class, I did not have to attend SI even ONCE.
Dr Seney is simply amazing! Her passion for chemistry keeps you interested and drives you to work hard to make good grades. She is completely devoted to you understanding the material and succeeding. If you have the chance, take her class!!!
Dr. Seney truly cares about her students' lives, both in and out of the classroom. Her passion for chemistry and clarity when teaching are remarkable. If you work hard (practice the "extra practice"problems she suggests from the text and the "in class" problems she hands out repeatedly),you will succeed in her class and learn a lot. TAKE SENEY!
One of the best Chem professors ever! Dr. Seney really cares about her students in and out of class. She is extremely helpful, and explains the material really well. If you study, you will always pass the tests. TAKE SENEY!! You will be glad that you did.
Definitely better than her counterpart lecturer. Definitely knows what she's talking about and a great motivator in lessons.
She is hands down the best freshman chemistry professor. She makes learning chemistry very easy and genuinely cares about each and every one of her students.
I *love* Dr. Seney. She made Chemistry so enjoyable for me that I changed my major to it after two semesters with her for gen chem 1 and 2. She truly cares about her students and will go out of her way to help you.
Dr. Seney is my mom. She cares SO much about her students in and outside of class. Super willing to help in office hours. Clarifies in class to make sure everyone understands. Works countless example problems. Helps with lab reports. Literally best Chem decision I ever made was taking her. Tests are not especially easy or hard. Overall awesome!
She is amazing! I truly recommend. I hate chemistry, but had her for gen chem and she can really motivate you. She would give amazing motivational speeches like every class comparing the class to basketball or whatever other sport. It was pretty inspiring, I'd take gen chem again if I had her! Most caring teacher I have had.
Dr. Seney really is an amazing professor. Having her was a blessing. She cares so much about every student. She goes over tons of examples and will make sure you understand before moving on. Also gives great motivational speeches during class. If you want an A in the class then do the book work. I PROMISE it will make a world of a difference.
Dr. Seney cares about every student in her class. She makes sure that everyone has understood the topic she is teaching before she moves on. She has students get involved in her lesson to help you remember concepts better. If you've done Chemistry before, it's not too difficult. The textbook was mainly used for practice questions.
Dr. Seney is one of the greatest professors I've had
Great Teacher. Really cares about student's grades as well as their personal lives. Would highly recommend.
Great person who genuinely cares about the success of all of her students. She routinely asks in class if anyone is struggling and ensures they get help along with giving motivational speeches to urge people to not give up no matter what grade they have.
Dr. Seney is amazing! Tests are fair with good feedback and a lot of free-response (partial credit!) if the class doesn't get a concept she notices right away, explains differently, and doesn't rush. She will periodically give little motivational speeches, and she will tell you to practice, which you must. Do the Burdge problems, they really help!
She gives very clear lectures, and is always willing to help her students succeed. She is also very motivational, and even refers to the tests as "celebrations". While there are pop quizzes, they don't count much and only a few are actually counted. Also, she gives out plenty of suggested problems that similar to test questions. Also fair grader!
Great professor. Takes the time to really get to know you, and make sure that you understand the material. Doesnt expect you to know anything she doesnt explicitly go over in class
Wonderful professor! It is obvious she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She's very kind and always willing to help you with the material you don't understand. She gives plenty of practice problems, her lectures are clear, and if you study, you'll do well.
Dr. Seney is a wonderful professor! She cares so much about each of her students and will do anything to help them. I never touched my book, though she does suggest doing practice problems in it, although I never felt I needed it. She does a great job of explaining the material.
Dr. Seney is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not just because of how great of a teacher she is but because she cares about every individual's success. I was in a class of over 70 students and yet it felt like she was with you the entire time. She makes her requirements clear and she'll go out of her way to make sure you understand.
It was a easy class as far as chemistry classes go.
Dr. Seney is AMAZING!! I took her freshman year and I still go to her for advice as a junior. No matter the class, TAKE HER
Dr. Seney is beyond words. You can obviously tell she loves her job and her students. She wants us all to succeed and is willing to help every step of the way. The most understanding professor ever. I just signed up to take another class with her.
The best professor Ive ever had. Really cares about students. Has lots of resources to help you succeed. Class is very easy to get an A in.
Couldn't ask for a better chemistry professor. My class has 120 in it and she somehow knows just about everyone by name. Her grading criteria are super clear and she's generous with partial credit She's very accessible during office hours, and I'd definitely take her again.
The best chemistry professor for those that have never had chemistry or are really weak in it. She really cares about her students outside of class and is very encouraging. Gives partial credit on exams as long as you show your work. If you are struggling go to her office hours, she will work with you as often as you need.
Dr. Seney is one of the best professors I have had. She cares about her students and really tries to make sure everyone understands the material. You will not regret taking her class!
Dr. Seney is the best professor/teacher I've ever had. She is extremely caring and prioritizes students' learning over remaining on a strict schedule. She keeps lecture fun and gets to know every student. Her grading is extremely fair and is open to any question. TLDR; If you hav the opportunity to take her, DO IT! She made me passionate about chem
Dr. Seney is amazing! She cares about everyone and gives plenty of class examples so you are prepared for her quizzes and tests. I have not met a single person who didn't like Dr. Seney or her class.
Sad I didn't complete the course eval for this course, so all I wanted to say is here. Dr. Seney is the best professor/teacher I've ever had in my life. She tells the class we're part of her family, the most important people in the world for her. She makes a point to chime in with all personalities and learning styles; makes me feel eager to learn.
Dr. Seney is a great professor. Beside teaching the students the principles of chemistry, she is also the students' moral support.
I generally don't enjoy Chem but she made it my favorite class of the semester. So helpful and genuinely cared that we passed.
Dr. Seney is by far the best professor I have ever had at Mercer. She is always available to answer your questions. She gives excellent notes and extra material to help understand the lectures better. Her exams are difficult but with all the extra practice and help she provides, it is easy to pass.
Dr. Seney was an amazing professor to take. She seemed to genuinely care for all the students that she had and would go out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. I would recommend her for anyone taking chemistry 111 or 112.
Literally the BEST professor I have ever had in my academic career. I used to despise chemistry; she taught me how to love it and how to learn it. Take her!!!
Dr. Seney is an amazing teacher. Her attitude and her love of teaching makes you want to learn the material. She understands how rough college can be for students and constantly encourages them to keep going. She is very clear on what she requires in lab reports. You never have to read a textbook. If you understand the concepts, you should do well.
She deeply cares about her students and their mental health. She is passionate about the course material and a great teacher. She posts detailed guides to complete lab reports on her youtube channel, effectively making them free 100s. The tests were not too hard and had cute extra credit questions like "what is your dream travel destination".
This amazing human being is who helped me push myself through chem 1 and chem 2. Literally the best professor I've had so far in college she is a blessing, her class was hard but that's because chem 2 is hard. She does as much as she can to make it okay, you need to have her for chemistry.
Dr. Seney was amazing! She caters her lectures to the students in her class and is willing to put in as much effort as she needs to for the class to succeed. She is super nice and has a passion for chem -- you can tell she loves it and it really shows. I would take her class again in an instant!
Seney is the best most amazing teacher you can take for a class. She cares so much about her students and her class is very easy but informative. Do the homework and pay attention in class and you'll be perfect. She is accesible outside of class and overall is just an amazing professor!!
This professor is INCREDIBLE. She is one of the few professors who genuinely cares about her students' success. The exams are pretty straightforward as long as you pay attention in class. If you are ever struggling in the class, talk to her, she cares. I would definitely recommend this professor to anyone:)
Dr. Seney is the best professor I've had so far. She truly cares about the success of her students, and will make sure that everyone feels confident about the material. She will even come outside of any class/office hour and do a practice exam review session so that anyone who doesn't feel confident can do even more practice questions with her.
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Seney as my chemistry professor, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. She is caring, respects her students, and makes sure that every student is ALWAYS on the same page before she moves on. It's really hard to be lost in chemistry unless you don't take advantage of the opportunities she offers. Love her, 6/5.
Dr. Seney is a blessing. She cares deeply about her students and is a big mental health advocate. She explains chemistry in a way that makes it easy to understand. Her tests were short and usually very straightforward and all her expectations for all assignments are very clear. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
