This course is waaay above freshmen level. Know your physics & quantum mechanics! But don't blame the teacher for HVCC decisions. She's a GREAT teacher. She gives you note-taking sheets, and she has "recitation" sessions for extra credit. She's well-organized and makes the information clear. Maybe those who complain just have low grades.

She's helpful and brings in interesting examples. You won't fail if you put in some effort. It is chemistry afterall.

helps to have previously done well in chem

me agian she is a good teacher!

i AM NOT TELLING YOU HER TEACHING IS PERFECT but it is definatly not the worst!I can easily compare her to other teachers considering in ways she teaches me. i also don't always want to stand up for her.

Very clear explanations. She wants you to understand how things are related. I got a lot from this class! She is nice and friendly too.

One of the best science teachers I had.

I like her! Good teacher!

I did not know chemistry could be interesting.

I'm astounded to see that previous students have not enjoyed Dr. Keesee's class. Seeing that many students advise to switch out of her class was a real shock to me. She was nothing but great to my class and I. Her "accent" may annoy some, but she is an excellent professor. She loves chemistry, and her mastery of the subject is very clearly present.

I like the way she talks about chemistry! It makes it interesting, draws your attention. She is very helpful too!

GREAT TEACHER! Chemistry has always been my Achilles heel, but she really made the material clear and understandable. Expect to buckle down, 'cuz your in for A LOT of homework, which I hate to say, is all necessary. If your like me and the thought of chemistry makes you want to cry, she's your best bet :)

Very good teacher.

I enjoyed her class very much. She was interested in the material as well as interested in assisting the students. Her accent may be hard for some to understand. I however, had no trouble. SHe made the class interesting and engaging. She was helpful in her lab sections as well. I would recommend her to any student.

Dr. Keesee is fantastic. I hate generalizing, but everyone who said she's a bad teacher is probably a bad student. Getting decent grades takes work, and Dr. Keesee wants to help you get there. She's passionate, and has been nothing but eager to help every student that wants it. If you're afraid of actually learning at college, quit.

This is a difficult course regardless of the professor. If you r are serious about your studies and our grades take this professor. She is not easy but wants to see you succeed and provides plenty of opportunities for her students to do so. She is passionate about the subject, has in interesting sense of humor and is very cute.

Excellent teacher for serious students.

Dr. Keesee is a wonderful professor. She is very organized and processional. She seems to genuinely care about her students.

Great instructor! A lot of homework is a part of studying chemistry. I've learned a lot in her class.

Very professional and organized. Got me well prepared for 4 year school. Will gladly help students who try to learn. Loved her!

I'm not very good at chemistry, but she made it understandable and logical. I did better in her class than I expected. Very helpful Prof. I recommend her to everybody who wants to learn.

Long lecture notes that are taught at a fast pace. The textbook and mastering chem assignments are extremely helpful. Chemistry labs must be read prior to coming to class(also because pop quizes often occur on them). Labs are explained in an easy way to comprehend. Small class size is also great.

Clear explanations. Always to the point. Can be funny. Expects students to be prepared. Cares about students. Willing to help. Gives pop quizzes in a lab, but it's helpful.

Very serious teacher, although she does bring in special treats like cake to class frequently which was very nice. Her notes are organized and prepare you for tests well. She is very easy to get ahold of outside of class. The mastering chem assignments online are quite hard and are graded on how well you do on them. Challenging course overall

*all serious science majors should read this* A year ago I took Professor Keesees class. I was frustrated as I had never taken chemistry before. She hammers significant figures and is very serious. Now that I am taking CHEM111 Im thankful I had a tough professor like her. I learned a lot from her. She made chem111 that much easier for me

Excellent professor! I got a lot from her class! Cannot believe some negative comments posted here. I did see some people coming to the lab 20 min late, but don't recall Dr. Keesee trying to embarrass anybody. Highly recommend her to all serious students.

I really enjoyed taking her class. All it takes is a little effort to pass the class. Communication is key if something comes up and you can't attend class, but DON'T miss the lab!

Really helpful instructor, cares a lot about her students, very supportive of people who study. Gives useful feedback. Don't try to cheat in her class! Great instructor and seems like a nice person!

Science is not my strong suit. I did what prof. Keesee told us to do, like homework, reading, extra credit, and I did well in class. Highly recommend her!

I wish there were more professors like dr. Keesee. Highly recommend.

I have only good to say about prof. Keesee! She is a serious instructor who maintains college level standards, so students could transfer and do well. school. Chemistry is not easy for many students, but she offers a lot of help and is very supportive of people who study. Want an easy A - don't take chemistry, it's not such subject.

Why why why Dr. K doesn't teach orgo? I want to take orgo with her too!

Tough teacher but was worth the work. Really learned a lot. You can ask for extra help and she will graciously take plenty of time with you if you need it.

Learned a lot. Made class enjoyable. Recommend.

The most organized online class! Not an easy subject but dr. Keesee is always willing to help. Several opportunities for extra credit. Examples and questions in lectures are really helpful and when you get it, you enjoy the class. I did!

Keesee was so organized and clear in her instructions and grading expectations. She assigned a lot of HW but there was always an opportunity to do extra credit to make up assignments or just for extra practice. It had been a long time since I had taken a Chem class and I ended up finishing the class with a 97%. Just do the work and it's an easy A.

A very good professor! As far as I know everybody who did homework got a good grade. She is always willing to help. Homework and tests have extra credit questions.

Great lecture packets and practice tests! Dr.Keesee will fo out of her way to help you.

Very organized hybrid class, clear lectures and instructions, helpful professor.

People in my class studied and all test averages were in high 80s and 90s. Do Dr. Keesee's practice tests, very helpful!

Great prof! I did better in Dr.Keesee's class than I thought I would.

I had problems with chemistry in the past but with Dr.K it's a different story. She relates chemistry things to ev eryday live and it makes it much easier to learn. Her lecture packets and practice exams are great! Do your homework!

Overall, Dr.Keesee was a good teacher. She was clear about the expectations and deadlines. She was also very willing to help you, you just had to put in effort. The only complaint I have is after the first test, she started going a few minutes past the time class was supposed to end, and it caused some attendance issues for me in other classes.

Dr. Keesee is a very nice person and professor! I definitely recommend her classes. They are very well organized (lecture packets, practice tests for extra credit, helpful videos online for some labs). Lectures include many examples. She is also very supportive and willing to help you. Do put an effort into studying - it's chemistry.

I don't have anything negative to say about Dr.K. She is generous in the way she grades and conducts her class. Her test are made fairly and aren't hard in any way. She gives practice test that add 5 points to your test if you score over a 60. Overall she's a sweet lady and i would recommend taking class with her. Labs and lecture felt stress free

Very pleasant to work with which is nice in a prof. Homework every week was helpful for preparing for tests. Printed lecture packets were also helpful just make sure you fill in the blanks to study with. If you review all material tests are straightforward. I would definitely take again, she was very nice and I learned a good amount of chem.

Really enjoyed her class! Got a better grade when I was hoping for.

I only had Dr. Keesee for lab. However, I will tell you that she is a kind-hearted Professor who cares about her students. The labs were very straightforward and I overall liked having her as my lab professor.
