PROMOTE TO CHIEF-LECTURER NOW!!!! I took her class this summer after failing McCoy's class. If you are seeking an alternative to McCoy, this is it!! It is a lot of material to cover over the course of a month, so she has some difficulty, but she is always available in her office hours and was more than willing to set time aside to help.

Ms. Moloney is a great professor. She talks kind of slowly which makes the class go in a slow pace, which I loved. I took Professor Mccoy last year and failed, now I have an A in Moloney's class. The homework is super easy, but the tests are challenging if you do not study. Study the powerpoints and do the questions at the end of the chapter.

Great teacher. Very helpful. Here are a couple of tips to do great in her class. Show up, answer correct clicker question, do homework, read text book and study lecture notes= A

She is very sweet and very willing to help her students. She talks a little slower and makes up her own power points which are cute and interesting. Organic chemistry is not going to be an easy A but it's very doable if you put in effort and study like you mean it. Use flash cards!!!

She's a nice teacher and is always willing to help. Her tests are fairly easy just make sure to do study the notes and do the review at the end of the chapters in the book. Attendance isnt mandatory but recommended if you want an A. She does grade clicker points and the homework is easy, got 100 every time cause you can redo the ones you got wrong

Really nice lady, attend lectures you get clicker points, do homework, all helps toward grade. exams are difficult. go to her office hours for help. not her fault, just isnt an easy subject. I would recommend her out of any other professor for this subject. Slow paced to help you better understand. 4 exams and a final. gives 1 ex.credit opportunity

Extremely nice but very boring. Class is easy. She puts lecture slides online in case you miss anything. Willing to help and extremely understanding. It is a bit hard to follow along in her lectures though, she's not the clearest speaker. Really study for exams, do all the homework. Not a terribly hard class.

This is an EXTREMELY difficult class but most students have to take it. Trust me when I say she is the best out of all the Chem professors here. This class requires a lot of time and studying but I promise if you study, you will do good. She was always helpful when I emailed her. Honestly, if you can, take this class at a community college.

Moloney is an amazing teacher, only if you pay attention in her class. If you go to all the lectures and take notes, you'll do fine. And you have to STUDY for the test…I mean it is college.

She is a very fair professor. The exams are not bad if you study. Attendance isn't mandatory but it helps extremely. The homework is online and simple

Moloney is the best Chem teacher at this university. She truly tries her hardest to help everyone but with over 300 it is hard (thank ODU for that). GO TO HER OFFICE!! Shes so so helpful and seriously wants to see everyone succeed. Only 3 exams but she does give some hw extra credit. GO TO THE LECTURES.

I had her for both the first and second half. She really isn't as bad as people make it seem. All of the classes are 200+ and she does try her hardest to help as much as she can, it's not her fault the classes are so big. Tests are straight from lectures, if you even go. most don't that's why they fail but blame the professor.. it is college now

This is not an easy class at all but she is the best chemistry teacher at ODU. her test are extremely fair. If you study you will do great. The online homework isnt bad and will boost your grade a lot. .. Just study the powerpoints and notes a lot and you will get an A.

best chemistry professor at ODU. the class is very difficult but if you study a lot you will get an A. she knows what she is talking about and her test are always fair. Study the book and powerpoints and you will do amazing !!

Moloney is a great professor for such a difficult class. I hate chemistry with a passion, but she made it easy and understandable. Her test are relatively easy as long as you pay attention. She will help you when you ask, but its up to you to go to her. Overall awesome teacher for such a crappy subject.

People don't give Dr. Moloney enough credit. Most bad reviews are by people who do not work hard enough and blame the professor for their grade. She is always willing to help, extremely knowledgeable, and explains topics clearly! Chemistry is a hard course, no matter the professor. If you want a fair and reliable teacher, pick Dr. Moloney!! :)

Dr. Moloney was a great teacher. I see many negative comments but I think many students forget that this is COLLEGE. This is not supposed to be easy, it's Chemistry. She is helpful but you have to ask for it. Very fair and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this class.

Professor Moloney is a sweetheart. She is helpful and genuinely wants students to succeed. If you do not turn up and do not study for exams, you will fail but that i your fault. Chemistry is tough, but she is an excellent teacher who knows her stuff inside and out. She is always there to help and dedicated to the students. She is excellent!

Must go to class to stay up to date, but lectures are available via video and slides on black board. Grades come from homework, quizzes, tests, and clicker questions.

Moloney was super helpful inside and outside class room. She made sure you understood her content. She gave practice test and gave extra credit built into test and homework

Took her over the summer & she was way more helpful than people give her credit for. Chem in general is tricky, but she tries to get points across and she is more than willing to help outside of class. I also had Wallach for the second part, and I would choose her over him due to how approachable she was. She also doesn't over-complicate tests.

JANET IS AMAZING. i took chem previously and the prof didnt care at all. chem & math are my worst subjects too. moloney has study sessions & is super nice when you asks questions. ofc the lectures are going to seem heavy/intense bc theres 100+ ppl but you can easily contact her outside of class. i would 100% take her again, fun fact: she's irish !

Difficult class, but Moloney does everything she can to help her students. Tests are hard and she is a tough grader, but she offers a lot of extra credit. I ended the class with 111%, so getting an A is totally doable. Going to every class is essential to getting a good grade, plus attendance and participation are factored into your grade.

Paying attention in her class is a must if you are in her 5:45 block. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is graded. She held these cool review sessions on every Friday and was very good about answering emails.

Curved almost every test, The lectures are kinda useless and I just learned everything on my own

Chemistry isn't an easy subject, but Moloney tries her best. She isn't a bad professor. Most people don't study or do the homework then complain about their grade. You have to put in a lot of effort and go to tutoring if you don't understand something. Hours of studying must go into this class. Don't expect it to be easy.

She is super caring! She has a lot of knowledge and goes above and beyond to help you in every way! This was the hardest class I have ever taken but she is so sweet and respectful and truly wants you to do well in this class and will help you every step of the way! TAKE HER!

She isn't terrible you just have to pay attention and if you can't learn in class the tutoring building is open M-F and they are so helpful. Chemistry is a hard subject to learn so it won't be easy regardless. Homework every week but very helpful(Probably wouldn't pass without it, exam study guides, exam review sessions. Show up and work hard!

Homework for each chapter, lecture is like high school she is very detailed and gives many examples, attendance and poll everywhere questions

Professor Moloney is actually BETTER than the other options of professors. One reason is because, SHE RECORDS HER LECTURES & POSTS THEM ON BLACKBOARD! You know what that means? Although she goes fast (as any lecture should), she records herself so when you're home you can pause and take notes. She will answer your questions after class. Easy hw.

Online textbook so nothing to pay for, plenty of online assignments (with unlimited redos) to boost your grade, only four tests throughout the semester, in class questions that also boosts your grade.

Chemistry is a difficult subject in itself. You can't expect to not study and get a good grade- it's not realistic. The class is lecture heavy and attendance is taken daily with clicker questions. If you actually study and pay attention you'll do fine, but don't complain about the class and your grade if you don't do your part.

Dr. Moloney will frustrate you at some point but only because she is easily flustered. However, I will miss the format, the little things she did that others don't. She records lectures, gives excellent powerpoints and truly makes chemistry simple. If you pay attention she will make you understand. It's boring but it's chemistry, I appreciate her.

Dr. Moloney gives excellent lectures. She is lenient at times when extending homework due dates. She also adds extra credit to every exam. She is organized by providing power points and a playback of every lecture. She does have a monotone and strong Irish accent. Overall, great semester. Learned interesting things.

Dr. Moloney is a great professor and cares a lot about her students. Her lectures are super heavy and she can be somewhat monotone at times, but she does try to spice it up a little here and there. She gives small curves and her homework is basically your exams. As long as you do the homework and practice work sheets, you will get an A.

Lets face it, Chemistry is not an easy subject to grasp. I felt Dr. Moloney taught her tests. She did upload her lectures to blackboard which helped if you missed a day. Attendance, poll everywhere, and pack back affect your grade. I am a nursing major and was able to make As on all her tests. This class is easy if you put in the time to study.

The class is pretty basic, and boring most of the times. But just show up and take notes, and it should be an easy A

Even though I don't like chemistry, I liked professor Moloney. She explains the material multiple times and cares about her students. The lectures are not boring and she helps with the homework if you email or meet her in person.

It's a lecture class so make sure to take advantage of tutoring and office hours if you need one on one help, but this class is passable if you just work hard and show up to class.

She has a lot so students so its impossible for her to give individual attention frequently. Show up to every class listen, go to tutoring if you need, use tophat, and you will pass with a good grade. She is understanding for outstanding circumstances. Overall her class was easy and I would take her again.

Dr. Moloney was an excellent professor whose expertise on the subject matter was clear. She made CHEM 105 a breeze. Her tests were super easy. There are participation points that require you to come to class and use an app, but they are not a huge portion of the grade. She is very kind and will help when asked.

She was a good professor, I had her online class with no Zoom lectures, it was pretty straightforward unless you didn't read through her lectures.

If you put in the work and watch the lectures and really try to learn the concepts, you will pass. BEWARE - if you are hoping to just glide by this class you will not do well. Her lectures are long but she truly breaks down the concepts so you can properly understand. Great chemistry professors are RARE, so take advantage of the opportunity.

When I started chem 105N with Professor Moloney, I thought she wouldn't be as lenient and helpful. Turns out, she was not so bad after all. Her class can be difficult but she does everything to make sure we get the information to pass. Definitely need to invest study time in her class in order to do well. Overall, I would recommend her class.

Chemistry is a hard class but Professor Moloney does grade with a curve so if you do all the assessments and study for the test you will most likely be fine. I am not really a lecture student but the lecturers were fine but pretty fast.

Professor Moloney is always willing to help, I finished this class with an 111. If you ever need help, tutoring in the new Chem building is always there so use that to your advantage. Homework isn't hard and the exams were easy especially since she makes study guides. As long as you show up there is no reason why you can't get an A.

Don't listen to these reviews, Dr. Moloney will stop at nothing to enhance your comprehension of the Fundamentals of Chemistry, e.g. her office hours are incredibly helpful, she uploads all the notes at once so that way you can learn ahead, you get unlimited attempts on the homework assignments, et all. If you apply yourself, you'll do fine.

Professor Moloney is a decent professor. While her lectures may seem terrible...you gotta show up to class if you wanna pass with an A. Also, study intensely and review over the homeworks and study guides. This class is going to be very easy if you have a strong chem background such as AP Chem or IB Chem.

Dr. Moloney's class wasn't heavy at all, I took her class in spring 2023 ! She cares about her students a lot and she gives 10+ extra credit for the exams. She gives 4 exams and a final which are so easy. If you took chem in high school u will be fine in her class. Overall, she is a great professor with a clear explanation.

She's a good professor I'm not sure why so many people gave her such a low score. She has very detailed slides so go over those when studying. She curves generously and you can do the homework as many times as you like. Me and my roommate took this class at the same time and while we didn't work or study together we both got 99% or more.

Lectures can move quickly, but detailed slides and the option to retake homework help a lot. unstuck AI was a game-changer for my exam prep. Overall, a fair class with a generous curve.

ATTENDANCE! This course uses Tophat, which counts as points/attendance. Do NOT skip class. Curve for tests is generous. Sit in the front and she will answer all your questions. Kind and understanding. I got super sick (hospital), and she exempt me from an exam no questions asked.

I was nervous to take this class bc of the low rating but i'm happy I chose this profesor. The class is not hard it's just the subject being taught. You just have to put in the effort, and i dont even mean studying for hours. The professor is very nice too and accommodates. I thought she was be the complete opposite than she is because the reviews.

Professor Moloney class is lecture heavy but she's very detailed and her slides are easy to follow. You will have to study but she's a lenient grader and curves all her exams. The exams were around 20-25 questions so they weren't long or too hard. The final exam was also easy but I would recommend going through her power points if you're confused.

I personally don't know what people have against Moloney, but she's such a great professor, don't let these terrible ratings fool you!! She had PowerPoints, and she also goes over all of it in class. The biggest tip, review as much as you can before class, as she posts lecture videos and go in person to review. She uses TopHat!!

I love Professor Janet Moloney; she's an amazing and accommodating teacher. This was my first time ever taking chemistry, and I still earned a B. She gives four exams with helpful study guides, and while the homework can be heavy, it's great for studying and counts for 20% of your grade. I would 100% take her class again.

The other negative ratings must have been from a different universe. While the class is lecture heavy, it's sort of necessary in order to teach 160+ people at once. Lectures are easy to follow & are recorded. Material is not difficult and tests are properly spaced apart. Curves grades.

Idk why the GOAT HERSELF is rated so low, but she is an amazing teacher. She reminds me of my old high school chemistry teacher: She makes sure you understand, extremely flexible outside of class, goes over graded problems IN CLASS, very understanding of not completing work on time, and is willing to give excused absences/extensions! TAKE HER!

Lecture heavy but not dense. Grades on a heavy curve. Tests are spaced apart nicely. Uses paid (20$) service for pop-questions. Very nice and caring. Gives extra credit. No issues.

I loved her so much. I felt she went at the right pace and made a hard subject pretty clear and easy to understand. I found that the only people that did not do good in the class were the ones who did no outside work or paid any attention at all. Show up to lectures and listen to her and you will do just fine. She is VERY sweet and caring.

Before taking the course I was nervous about the professor by how many bad reviews she receives. BUT she's a great chemistry professor, goes over the PowerPoints and solves problem with you step by step. If you STUDY and put effort in the course you'll get an A! Also go over those practice test and you'll be fine!!! :)
