She is a wonderful teacher, she helps you out a lot.

as long as you go to class and work you will get a good grade. she is very fair and is a lot of fun. she is a very nice teacher!

Dr. Shaw is extremely nice, but has her moments sometimes. She helps her students as much as she can. I would recommend everyone take her CHEM 1211 class.

Dr. Shaw was an amazing teacher. She has a great since of humor, which helps in a class like Chemistry. She is always willing to help out (as long as your not waiting until the very last minute to ask for help). I would definately recommend her class!!!

dr. shaw is a wonderful teacher. she is very inspiring and makes chemisrty fun. she gives bonus points and reviewsheets for the tests which are easy if you study. definately take her class if you get the chance

Dr. Shaw was a wonderful prof. she always went above and beyond to make sure we understood the material.

dr shaw is an amazing teacher. her lectures are powerpoints, and everything is extremely clear. she is always willing to help yall, and is really nice and sorta funny.

SHE IS A NICE LADY BUT........ SHE MOVES VERY QUICKLY MATERIAL AND EXPECTS YOU TO DO ATLEAST 9 HOURS OF CHEM HOMEWORK OUT OF CLASS AND SHES NOT JOKING. DO NOT DO AS I DID AND READ THESE REVIEWS AND THINK IT WAS AN EASY A. YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR ASS OFF TO DO WELL BUT YOU COME OUT ALL KNOWING.

This class was easy! She gave amazing practice test and went over them the class before each exam. The test was always very similar! Great help if you went to office. I wish she could teach organic! The curved the final and gave extra credit questions on each exam and bonus points for comming to review day in class. TAKE HER!

She is a very good teacher. She speaks clearly and ethusiastically. (?spell) She is very heplful and explains things clearly

No matter what, Chemistry is not going to be easy! But Professor Shaw is definitely one of the best. She explains things well and even acknowlegdes that the book can sometimes be confusing. Her test are OK, but you definitely HAVE to study and do homework. The only drawback is that there is really no time alotted to go over homework in class.

I had her for chem lecture and lab and she is the BEST teacher in the entire chemistry department! the subject is obviously not easy but her tests and quizzes come straight from the powerpoint and the textbook so do study both!!! DO THE HOMEWORK!!! she always puts HW prob on the test! she's the nicest and most sweetest lady there so take her!!!

VERY good teacher. If your lucky enough to get her. you'll love her. keep in mind Chemistry is hard no matter what. Your gonna study, Your gonna do homework. And your gonna show up to class. Otherwise you fail. She gives you lots of quizzes that help your grade alot, but her tests are pretty difficult.

Dr shaw is a good teacher, but test are still hard, although the quizes are easy, and will help your grade alot. over all hard class, but she is good.

Dr. Shaw is a great Chemistry professor. Her tests are fair. If you do not have time to devote 9hr/wk to studying for this class & you aren't great in chemistry then don't take the class. You will learn but you need to committ to being in class, reading your chapters prior to class and to studying. She presents the material so you can understand!

I had Dr. Shaw for Chem1211Lab. She's a GREAT teacher for lab. She will help you with ANY and EVERY question you might have. I wish I could have her for CHEM1212Lab.

She is a great teacher. Sometimes material will be covered fast in class, so it helps to go home and read the textbook. Overall she is pretty tough, but no ridiculous.

I had her for lab and she was GREAT! i loved her and she walked around the whole time trying to help you understand better and was really amazing teacher! TAKE HER!!!

Amazing teacher. Very clear and extremely helpful. She has a sense of humor which makes the class much more fun. She gives you practice exams the class before an exam and lets you work on it in groups and she takes the exams straight from them. No homework unless you need help. I learned so much from her. I would definitely recommend her!

Dr. Shaw is the best Chemistry professor at KSU and that's not an opinion. If you need to understand the concepts, just ask her and she will make it clear. Grades fairly and gives you plenty of chances help your own grade. Chemistry is never an easy course, but she's as good as it gets. Study on your own time and you'll get a B or an A.

Dr. Shaw always did a quick pre-lab before we started actually doing the lab. She would tell you what to watch out for and she would walk around to make sure everyone was ok and sometimes checked our work to make sure the calculations looked correct. She was always willing to help and is a great professor but grades strictly sometimes.

Dr. Shaw was my favorite teacher this semester. She explained all the concepts clearly until we all understood them. The friday peer leading was really helpful too. The only downfall to her is that she moves wicked fast. If you fall behind you have to work really hard to catch up again. But I'd recommend her to anyone who has to take chem

Dr.Shaw is the best chem. teacher. chemistry is already hard, so its important to study and practice on your own time as well. Shaw will go over something until the class understands. she can be a bit rude sometimes, but its funny and keeps you awake. if u have to take chemistry 1211, take shaw!

I love Dr. Shaw. She is one of the better Chemistry professors. She is very approachable and kind. I will always be grateful to her for giving me a chance! If you ever have the chance to take her, you should!

She was awesome. wanted to know that we knew the material. One of the best professors i have ever had.

I loved Dr. Shaw!! I am sad that she won't be teaching the next level of general Chemistry. If you go to class, you get free grades. There is plenty of extra credit and her tests are from the notes. The class is a lecture.

Good professor. Chemistry is always somewhat difficult but she is a good teacher that is always willing to help. And cracks the occasional joke to keep the class interested and upbeat

i was not good at chemistry in high school , but Dr.Shaw made everything clear. Her test are easy bc its always multiple choice.

I can not say enough good things about Dr Shaw!! She is the BEST! Take her class if you know what's good for you....

I went into this class knowing nothing about chemistry and came out knowing A LOT. Dr. Shaw will not easily give you a good grade, but she'll do everything she can so that you can learn to do so. She is great at breaking down hard material and she keeps it pretty entertaining. She's super-helpful and fair, but just be ready to work really hard!

I had professor Shaw for Lab class. She is very helpful and isn't intimidating to approach. In lab, people usually have a lot of questions so she tends to run around the class, but she'll always make sure she gets to you. She has a good sense of humor and isn't boring. Very knowledgeable, and can be a lot of help if you don't understand lecture.

Nice class

Awesome teacher. If you can take Shaw's class do it. She explains the material brilliantly. She's funny and makes the lectures very engaging. Not to 'diss' KSU, but I can't believe we have professors this good here. If you struggle in this class then you shouldn't go into science b/c the material can't be taught any better.

Shaw is one of the best professors I've had a KSU. She has a nice sense of humor that lightens the mood of the class. Explains things thoroughly. Very helpful. Exams are somewhat difficult, but if you do the homework and the practice exams you will pass. [20% of grade from hw/quizzes, 20% from ACS final, 60% from 4 exams(lowest one dropped)]

Great Professor! Very tough though, would recommend her! Be ready to earn your grade.

Great Teacher! She keeps the mood really light in class and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. She will help you in her office if you need help. It's a tough class, but I couldn't have asked for a better professor.

She's a nice teacher, but she does rush alot in class. especially if you're in one of her 50 min classes. She refers alot to her powepoints and gives like a 10 prob. hw assig. every other week. her exams are pretty tough! and there is chem. tutoring available in her office. but she does say "for sake of class time, u can do this @ home" ALOT!!

Okay, so chemistry is going to be difficult no matter what professor you have, but I truly think she is the best at helping students understand. She teaches from power points and posts all slides online, gives a HW sheet for every chapter. 4 exams and she gives you a practice exam for each one which helps, A LOT. I barely used the book. Take her!

Chemistry is going to be hard no matter what professor you have. I loved professor Shaw and would definitely recommend her! I'm in her 50 min MWF class and the Friday class is peer leading which really helps. Shaw keeps a light mood in the class and is pretty funny.

Dr. Shaw is a wonderful professor. She's very clear in lecture, and her exams are true to what she teaches. Pay attention during lecture and you'll have a strong idea what type of questions she'll have on her exams. Her class will prepare you for the ACS final. Great professor, would love to have her again.

Awesome! One of the best teachers I have ever had. Teaches the material extremely well, not boring. What she teaches is on the test, gives tons of practice as well (practice tests and homework (hw is graded)). Very possible to make an A if you study. Would take her again. Loved the class!

She loves what she does, and it comes across in her class. The class is naturally difficult and requires a good bit of outside reading, studying, and homework, but she makes it as straight forward as she can (except a few tricky questions on her exams). I'd highly recommend her, but be prepared to work hard and fast.

Best chemistry teacher you will ever find.

I really liked Dr. Shaw for Chem 1211 but I absolutely loved her for Chem 1212. She comes prepared for class and goes out of her way so that her students learn the material. She loves her students and pulls for anyone that puts forth an effort. Not to mention, she can break chemistry down for ANYONE to understand. She's the best.I will miss her!!!!

Dr. Shaw is a SUPERB teacher. I would highly recommend her for anyone. She explains things very well and her tests are fair. Show up to class do the suggested problems and you'll do just fine. Excellent teacher all around.

Dr. Shaw is an amazing professor! Her lectures are not boring. She will help you in any way that she can. She explains her information clear. Tests come straight from power points and lectures. You do NOT have to read the book, but it helps to get problems out of it. Gives lots of easy HW. Tests are multiple choice. Drops lowest one! TAKE HER!

Awesome teacher in explaining and teaching chemistry, Tests are hard. but if you know the material, attend lecture and do hw youll be fine.

Shaw is a really good prof. The lectures are all online and attendance is only mandatory for the friday classes, when we have peer leading sessions. She is really willing to help her students in any way she can. She moves a little fast & she explains things the long way. I'm more of a short-cut kind of learner. Easy course if you do worksheets!

Dr. Shaw is BEYOND the best Chemistry teacher I have ever had. She drops the lowest test which def. helps. It's not hard to get an A. Just do your homework (same layout as test), and come to class and you will be fine. She comes off as if she unapproachable but she is willing to help whenever for whatever. Great prof. TAKE HER !!!

Had her for lab she is really helpful but she takes a lot of points off for sig figs. Overall she is a great prof. who knows what she is doing. TAKE HER

She is nice and she is more then happy to help and answer questions. You will need to do the practice problems at the beginning of every chapter that she gives, though it not mandatory. DO NOT MISS MORE THEN 3 FRIDAYS IF YOU HAVE HER MON/WED/FRI CLASS... SHE WILL TAKE POINTS OFF! otherwise i definitely would take her class.

Fabulous teacher in every way, but only if you want to be there. If you don't put in much effort, she can be really harsh, which is simply a reflection of life itself. If you review her presentations and carefully complete the HWs then you can do well!!

She is very nice and helpful. She will look over your lab and tell you what is right or wrong. If you go to her she will help explain questions about lecture. Also she is a very hard grader!! She counts off for a lot. So make sure you double check your work and have her check it. I slacked off and didn't use her help and got a B+. Take her!

EXCELLENT professor! VERY good at teaching (clear & to the point). Very easy to get all the points for homework and peer leading sessions. There is a practice test with an answer key for every exam which look just like the real tests. I went to every class, and I got an A.

She makes getting the 200 homework points really easy. She is interesting and teaches very well. She posts her work for everything you do so gives you lots of oppurtunities to practice for her tests. Do the practice exams and know your homeworks very well and you should do fine in her class. I really enjoyed taking her class.

I took this class freshman and sophomore year and im just now writing a review bc i didnt like the previous ones, TAKE DR. SHAW. She makes it impossible to fail! and she is really helpful. I got a C in 1211 cause i didnt try AT ALL but when i took 1212 i got an A and even a 107 on one test cause i applied myself, best professor ever!

I really love Dr. Shaw. She is very good at explaining things and very helpful. She has office hours for which you can go and get help. GREAT Professor! I highly recommend her. I wish she taught 1212 because I would without a doubt take her again if I could.

Dr. Shaw is an excellent teacher. She gives plenty of examples in class and is willing to answer questions. Homework is very helpful, so do all of them even though you do not need to. Tests are sort of hard, but if you study you should be fine. I loved her class even though I hate chem.

Dr. Shaw is an awesome teacher! Gives plenty of examples in class and the homework is very helpful! I would definitely recommend her.

Very passionate about chemistry. She can be sarcastic, which makes it hard to approach her, but she's knowledgeable and willing to help. The biggest thing is to prepare well for her tests; you need to memorize your formulas and atomic rules, she uses these as a big part of her tests.

Extra credit on every test. All quizzes are guaranteed extra credit. Homework is very helpful. She has a great sense of humor which allows for a fun class- would definitely recommend!

Hands down best chemistry professor to take. She knows her stuff. At first she might seem difficult to approach but show her that you are truly interested in understanding and she will do her best to make you understand. You will have to do work...

One of the best professors I've had at Kennesaw. If you've been struggling with Chemistry at all, this is the class for you. Really knows her stuff and is Extremely helpful!

At the start of the semester she came across as very strict and almost mean. Over the semester she grew on me and I realized that that is just how she is. She is extremely fair and is a great professor. It is a hard class and will require a lot of studying but it is worth taking with her. She's willing to help if asked and wants to see you succeed.

Dr. Shaw is a fantastic professor. She teaches clearly and effectively. She's always willing to help. She's also very personable and will just talk to you while you're waiting for class to start. She gave us three surprise, in-class assignments for bonus points on test grades. I've really enjoyed learning from her, and I highly recommend her

Best professor alive. If you want an easy A, don't take her. But if you care about the class, you will love it. She makes you earn your curve for the final by giving extra credit quizzes. Get on her good side; she is so sweet, beyond helpful, and extremely smart. She sacrifices so much time for her students. Oh, and she posts test grades 30m after.

Shes a good teacher, always asks if you has questions. Her test are pretty straightforward. She will tell you how many questions from each chapter and how many math from each chapter and gives you an old exam as practice. The really only hard part is that each test is 200 points and only like 20 questions. So if you miss two, you already have an 80

Dr. Shaw is amazing. She is passionate about chemistry, good at breaking down complex concepts, and there for you if you try, and approach her. She may seem unapproachable, but she really wants you to succeed, and understand the beauty of chemistry. Take her!

Dr. Shaw is by far my favorite chemistry professor at KSU. She is direct, kind, and clear. She makes you work for it, but only for your benefit. She wants you to really understand the material. Go to her office hours with SPECIFIC questions! She will help you.

Dr. Shaw is direct, not rude. These negative reviews from 1211/12 don't do her justice. She expects effort, if you care, then she cares. But if you spend 5 hours to study for a test, you will fail, and she won't hold your hand. Everything on her test is on her powerpoint or lecture. She's the best @ KSU, just work hard and it's absolutely doable.

She really wants her students to learn and pass. Show up, do the homework. She's very patient and will answer your questions. Quizzes pop up, but can only help your grade, no matter how well you do on them. Attendance is not technically mandatory but highly recommended. If you want an A and to know the material, I'd highly recommend Dr. Shaw.

If you study and participate in class you will be fine. By no means is this class easy but she is always available for help. Homework is online and you can google the answer. Test are my only issue, they are about 20-25 questions long so if you miss one your grade lowers a lot, but if you study and work through all the problems you can get an A.

I see how people might think she's rude but I think it is all in good fun and pretty hilarious. Dry humor. She's a very good professor but the class is difficult. You don't really need the text book if you go to the lectures.

Best chem teacher at Kennesaw. Of course chemistry is difficult. She curves and helps students do well. She's the only professor to take for chemistry for sure. m

Dr. Shaw is a great professor. She breaks down the complexities of fundamental chemistry to a solid concept. Do the homework and read the book.

She really wantss you to do well. Great professor who will curve and help you make a good grade. Take her for sure.

She gives quizzes for bonus on the final. All tests and quizzes are multiple choice and she gives a huge buffer for the homework (Only need 200 points for a 100% and they are about 330 available) and you can get a 210 points out of 200 on tests. You get 5 grades each worth 200 points each. HW, 4 tests, and a final, and you drop the lowest test.

This is the second time I have taken her so I really like this professor. She is very funny but you need to understand her sense of humor and not take things so personally or be too sensitive. She does a great job of teaching the course, I did not need a textbook for 1211 or 1212. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Great professor. There is a medium amount of homework, but the homework is exactly like the tests.

Awesome professor. Attendance not mandatory but frequently gives extra credit points to those who show up. What she teaches in class will be on her MC tests so make sure to go. Very encouraging outside of class/after lectures. Sassy sense of humor but some people might take it the wrong way even though she has the best intentions. Take her!

The best professor I have ever had! I got A's on all of her tests, read the textbook and do the end of chapter quiz as well as the review tests from her d2l and you'll be fine. Make sure you get your grade as high as you can before the final because the ACS final was tough. I ended the class with a 96 and i'm not the smartest person

Shaw is a good prof. She will help you if you need it, but her tests are very hard. You need to show up to class because she gives in-class activities and quizzes that help you earn extra credit. Study and you will be fine!

At first, I thought she was just a mean woman who was too strict. Then I realized that that is just how she talks to people and that shes actually pretty freaking cool and laid-back. She comes off waayyy aggressive, but I promise shes chill. Shes smart, helpful, always willing to talk with students, and has pretty fair straightforward grading.

I had her for chem1211 and 1212 and loved her. She came off mean at first but when you talk to her one on one she's very nice and genuine. Don't talk in her class while she's teaching (don't talk when any of your teachers are lecturing that is so rude) or she will call you out in front of the whole class. I miss her a lot take her if you can!

In class assignments and quizzes are extra credit. Ms. Shaw is very willing to help and so passionate. I would absolutely take her again if she taught earlier classes. As a student who works with SDS she was very willing to accommodate anything I needed.

Great teacher but hard class. Fantastic at explaining concepts and very available/willing to answer questions. The class is very hard and the test averages are low, but you can definitely get a high grade if you work for it. Homework, 4 tests(lowest dropped) and a final.

Don't listen to all of these negative reviews. I was afraid because of that when I signed up her class. Prof. Shaw is one of the best chem professors. She explains all the material very well. She is funny too. If you study hard, do the homework, ask her if you have any questions, and attend to lecture, you will do well in the class.

great teacher but hard tests. be prepared to study well! she is also pretty sarcastic and can be condescending so be ready. other than that pretty straightforward class. she will NOT bump even like .2 points!

Professor Shaw is a good Professor, on some topics I got a little bit lost and stayed after and she answered my questions perfectly. Sometimes when you ask questions related to class rather than the topics she can be a little be condescending she doesnt like babying people, but as long as you do the homework and ask for help you should be fine

Dr. Shaw is an incredibly intelligent professor. She knows what she's talking about and I learned a lot in her class. She doesn't like to repeat herself though, so if you ask a question that's already been answered, she will most likely respond with sarcasm. Tests aren't insanely difficult. Practice what she gives you and you'll be fine!

One of the best professors Ive ever had. Shaw breaks the material down to a very understandable level. She has a very blunt, sarcastic personality that some took as rude. Majority thought it was funny. Shaw will be your best bet if you study hard, show effort, & are extremely dedicated. Ended with an A, but I worked hard for it.

Shaw is very sarcastic and will always have a sarcastic remark for repeated questions or people asking stupid things. She really knows what she's talking about and gives a lot of effort to make sure you know It too. Chem 1212 is a hard class and she makes sure you earn the grade you receive. In the end it's all up to how much you work in the class.

People don't like her class because chemistry is difficult but she makes it so easy to do well. All powerpoints are posted online before class, quizzes are extra credit, in-class activities count towards homework grades and u don't even have to do all the homework to get a 100. She always stops to ask for questions and is available outside of class

She explains the pre-lab pretty well and left us to ourselves after that. She was open to any questions. She's pretty strict about significant figures in the lab reports. Doesn't take off alot of points but still marks off.

I do not know why there are all these negative comments about Dr. Shaw. Chem 2 is a difficult course, and you will have to work for the grade you want. However, Dr. Shaw is wonderful about responding to questions and very clear in her expectations of you as a student. If you want do not want to work for your grade, consider changing your major.

best chem prof ive ever had. ofc the tests will be like 80% of your grade LOL welcome to college.

Honestly, Professor Shaw is great. I took her for CHEM 1 and 2 got an A and a B. Although it is a generally hard class for most, she is great and ready to answer questions. Homework will likely be your life support as takes some of the pressure of the tests. I didn't find the test personally difficult although they were tedious and time-consuming.

I only had her for 1212L but I thought she was pretty responsive and thorough about what was expected. As long as you come to lab having read it and having at least an idea of what to expect, she's more than willing to help you. She's also good about replying to emails regarding grades and questions about the lab

Overall, Shaw was an awesome professor. She always stops in lecture to make sure we understand and have time to ask questions, and she is so helpful in office hours (mine were virtual.) You are graded on 4 exams, the final, and homework (get 200 points and you get a 100 for section) Her humor is a little dry but she really does care about us!

She is willing to answer any and all questions. Her lectures are clear and concise. She responds to all questions in a timely manner. If you do the homework and come to class, you will do fine. There are chances for bonus points as well.

Dr. Shaw is an amazing instructor, and a very kind person. Seriously confounded by any reviews suggesting the contrary. Dr. Shaw knows the material, in and out... she has a PhD, but she's totally cool and approachable. She is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth professors at KSU. Her labs were both helpful and enjoyable. I'd recommend, 100%.

Great professor. She comes early to class and stays late after to answer questions and opens the floor for questions constantly as she teaches. She lets you know what the cover page of exams look like and drops the lowest exam grade at the end of the semester. She does many in class assignments and answers questions about the material.

She was one of the best professors that I have ever received. She gives out the homework one month in advance and is not due until the day before class. She often won't answer questions in class unless they are on the topic but she is always reachable via email or after class to answer any question you have. Her homework are harder than her test.

Dr shaw's lectures are good, providing all the information you'll need to know in a mostly clear and concise fashion. Shaw makes topics covered easy to understand, and your grade in the class will be determined primarily by your grasp of the material rather than doing a large amount of frivolous work, as the majority of your grade is from exams.

Dr. Shaw is great. Her course is difficult, but she gives every opportunity to succeed. Some say she is rude, but she just gets irritated when you ask a question that makes it obvious you werent listening. She is kind to those who dont act entitled to an A. Difficult content and will take hard work, but she gives extra credit and tons of support.

Dr. Shaw's teaching style really helped me succeed in chemistry. Her lectures have step by step examples of problems that will be on the test. There are graded in class activities that you do with a partner. The homework is helpful, especially the conceptual questions. She doesn't like to waste time so don't as stupid questions.

Dr. Shaw is not a hard professor. Her lectures and homeworks line up with the test material. She even posts previous test questions for extra practice problems. After each test, there is an exam redemption which is considered extra credit. I think Dr. Shaw really cares about her students, but you have to meet her halfway!

never met a professor who wanted their students to succeed more then Dr Shaw. Chem1212 is just a overall hard class which is typical, i haven't taken chem 1211 in almost two years so this class was a struggle. she's constantly asking to see if her students have questions and gives so many ways to excel in this course. i HIGHLY recommend Shaw.

Dr. Shaw's teaching style takes some adjusting, but she genuinely wants her students to succeed. The homeworks and in-class activities are super helpful for understanding the material. unstuck ai was a game-changer for my chem prep - highly recommend it alongside the textbook!

Dr. Shaw's lectures are very informative and tell you exactly what's going to be on the test. She has 6-7 homework assignments per unit due before each test but are relatively short. Sometimes she is stern but it is out of tough love. Make sure you understand Chem 1211 concepts well because she holds you accountable!

Overall, not a completely bad teacher. It does take time to adjust to her teaching habits but she just wants students to pass the class. She does random in class participation assignments and mainly grades those off accuracy. She does read from the PowerPoints, which are posted online so lectures can be boring but she does offer help.

shes honestly pretty good. at first you have to adjust with her dry humor, but she just wants students to do good. I was able to do well on all tests because I went to her office hours each week. there's usually barely students there, so I was able to get help directly from her. her tests were pretty straightforward and she offers extra credit

I absolutely loved Shaw. She is definitely blunt, which i appreciated more than not. She provides plenty of super clear instruction as to what are on her exams. Attendance is required and she gives in class activites but you get to work with a partner, which helped me understand it more and make friends. I went to office hours and she is so helpful

You don't need the textbook for this class at all. The test questions are the same structure as the homework, and 20% your grade is from the ACS final. The online lectures are clear; she is very quick & good with communication. She has extra credit (up to 5% of final grade), but expressed she never otherwise rounded up final grades in 20 years.
