This teacher was new this year but is a really good teacher. I learned alot from her class. She gives you the powerpoints and her tests come from those. EXCELLENT teacher and I highly recomend her to anyone needing Micro. She is a microbiologist and brings alot of knowledge to the classroom.

Professor Kyker is one of the best teachers I've ever had! I took her Concepts because I've never taken a science class, EVER, and now I'm making A's in Bio. She prepares powerpoints for all her lectures with space to take notes, and offers tons of extra credit when she can. The tests are straight from powerpoints. Highly recommended!

Professor Kyker really takes an interest in the students. She wants to make sure that we understand the concepts before going on to nursing school or whatever we decide to do. She'll take the time to explain things again or spend time with you during office hours.

AWESOME instructor! Really cared about her students, took tons of extra time to help out. Would recommend her to anyone! I didn't like chemistry and was worried about the class. But she made it really fun, I actually wanted to go to class!!

Excellent teacher! Cares about her students, provides thorough lectures and powerpoints and tells you what you need to know for test. Doesn't put random questions on tests. Made the class interesting and almost enjoyable!

You can get an A in this class if you work for it. Professor Kyker will help you as much as you need.

Very encouraging. Extremely positive in encouraging students to keep going. Genuinly wants students to succeed and learn the subject. Begged her to teach microbiology.

Great professor. Made lectures interesting. Really cares about students. Will work with you and help you anyway she can.

She made Microbiology lecture and lab very easy & fun. She used her many years of lab experience to help guide us. I enjoyed talking with her even after class. Bonus points on test, extra credits offered. Follow test guide and it's easy A if you're serious. Yep! That's what I made.

She was really awesome. We got along great and she knew a lot. She answered my questions about things not only in the class, but also advised me for what I should be doing.

very easy. her explanation a little bit random, but after going through the powerpoints he gives and the book it all becomes very clear.

Chem is a tough subject, but enjoyed Prof Kyker's class. I had to study, and actually put forth the effort to get an A, but I learned a lot in her class.

Professor Kyker tries her best to make sure her class understands the material. She wants to make sure her students have a firm grasp on the material. With doing this she does expect more than other professors but is there if you need her

She is a really good teacher. She is willing to look at any problems. She is very patient.

Take this teacher!!! She was great! She makes sure everyone understands before she moves on. She is easy to follow. She is pretty funny too! I have never taken chemistry and I thought she was great!

Definately take this professor! She is AMAZING! I was SO afraid of Chemistry before this class-but it was a requirement for me. She was upfront with us that it would be hard work-IT WAS but she was GREAT explaining everything until we understood! She was extremely helpful! You can tell she REALLY cares about her students!!! Again, take her!!!

WOW finally a real teacher! She actually cares if you learn. Goes out of her way to explain and help her students. You will earn your grade so don't expect a pushover. She will not count attendance against you but if you dont come you dont learn. I'm taking her for other classes.

Chemistry was my most dreaded class, but Professor Kyker was wonderful. She reviewed the material as many times as necessary until everyone understood it. She always answered questions and was very approachable. Very sweet, caring, and willing to help outside of class. I wish she taught more classes. I highly recommend her..

i love her because shes so approachable!studyeach and every objective like the back of your hand. alsoattendance is not mandatory but it will hurt you if you don'tshow up! slacking is not going to work in this class. but it was really fun.so proud that i got a B in this class, especially as a nonmajor i was dreading it but Kyker is great, take her!

She is amazing! I was scared to death to take Chemistry. She is very clear about what she expects and will help you out if you don't understand, she wants you to succeed. She will work with you during her office hours until you understand what you are doing. I love her and wish she taught more classes I need!

Best chem teacher anyone could ask for. She makes learning easy, very laid back. All u need to know u learn in class so don't miss any classes. More than willing to help if u want to ask for it. Will take all classes she teaches in the future. U get two sets of grades: quizzes and exams, nothing else. Best teacher ever!! Highly Recommend her

Absolutely the best teacher I have taken at OCCC. She was very helpful and told us exactly what would be on her tests. She really cares about her students. I would definitely take he again!!!

I was terrified of chemistry and have avoided taking it for as long as possible. Professor Kyker is wonderful. She wants everyone to do well. If you dedicate the time, you WILL do well. She encourages you to visit her with problems. There are 7 tests and the final. Her testing style is great. Grade consists of tests and mastering chemistry online.

I took this professor for chem and physiology in the same semester..it wasn't easy and I had to study like crazy. She is more than willing to help and tells u what is on the tests, and tests off of her power points,however it was still difficult. She is more than willing to help. Go to class! ask for help! I got a c in both classes.

Amazing teacher! Really interesting and made me interested in science.

She understands where the more biology-minded students are coming from when it comes to understanding chemical equations and conversions. She is very helpful and does go over homework questions in class when prompted. Going to lecture is very important, especially if you will need help understanding the materials covered. 9/10 would take again

Kyker is very easy going. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask her. I had her for lab. She helps you in any way she can. She walks around to each station during lab to check on everyone. I would take her again.

Professor Kyker definitely knows her stuff and is passionate about the subject, and I appreciate that for a science course. She will answer any question you have and she is a very nice lady. In my opinion, however, the way the course was laid out was a little confusing and she can be scatter-brained at times which makes it tough.

Professor Kyker's class was difficult, but I thought it was very fair. Having said that, I had to work really hard, show up, perfect my study skills and get extra help, but I learned a ton! When reading the negative comments here, I think that most of these people must expect to get an A because they show and try. Grow up, people.

Pros: This was my first chemistry class in over 10 years and still was able to make an A. She is very helpful if you go to her office hours and truly cares if you do well. Just be ready to put in the effort at home. Cons: Takes forever to grade tests, can be very blunt that if you don't do well in the first few tests then you should just drop.

Prof. Kyker was amazing in lecture for Survey of Chem. Although there were some people in the class that did not like her, I very much did! She helped me outside of class during her office hours and was always caring. If you pay attention and participate in class and she sees the effort, she will put effort into helping you understand the material.

She explains everything in lecture. But to do well you MUST do book work outside of class. DO NOT expect to understand everything from lecture alone, you must also do the homework out of the book. And if you still are having troubles, she is very helpful during office hours. She cares about the students who show that they are really trying.

Physiology is a tough class. Prepare to study study. Prof is pretty nice, will help you outside of class if needed.

Physiology is a very hard class you have to study a lot everything she lectures about is on the test. She also really cares about helping her students pass so she is always available office hours. She also responds to emails, she has a great since of humor and I am taking her next semester for another class.

Professor Kyker is a great professor. Her summer Physiology class was pretty hard but she will work with you. I would take her again if I needed to.... You definitely have to STUDY to pass....

Her lectures are perfectly paired with homework. Theres plenty of tests but not hard at all if you go to class. In the syllabus there is some homework problems for the book if you're needing extra practice. She always refers to the final when teaching so you know what to expect. Didn't use textbook personally.

Kyker makes her lectures clear and learnable. She goes by building blocks for new chemists.

Professor Kyker is truly one of the best. I've gone to her office multiple times throughout the semester, and she is always more than willing to help. She prepares you for exactly what's on the tests, and she makes it easy to understand. The key is to attend and to take advantage of her office hours. She really, really cares.

Prof Kyker is an amazing lecturer who is passionate for student success. You have to be on time and attend class per the syllabus. Chemistry is hard for most students but her teaching style makes it easier to comprehend. She gives unit exams feedback and is available during office hours. Study group ia an asset for this class

If it weren't for professor Kyker I don't think I could have understood chemistry. She is great at explaining things in a way that makes sense and she doesn't make you do all the extra chemist stuff. If you don't need it for nursing she won't make you learn it. I thought chemistry would suck, but thanks to her it was okay. I highly recommend her.

I took Physiology w Prof. Kyker during the summer and I loved her! The class is really hard, especially in the summer, but she was a great teacher. She taught like she was telling a story about the body which really helped me remember things and grasp how the body functions. She will really work with you & help you, get ready to study a bunch tho!

She is wonderful. Dumbs down chem so you can understand it. Gives bonus points. Gives plenty of time to learn material. Open to making sure you really understand things before moves on. Is very specific on how she wants dimensional analysis. Made chem easy!

I took Prof. Kyker's Physiology class last Spring and got an A. I find the way she uses illustrations to help us understand difficult concepts during lectures very helpful. Her lectures were slow and thorough so there wasn't enough time to go over everything in class. Therefore, I had to self-study what she doesn't cover to ace the exams.

Professor Kyker is great! Although, she tends to spend too much time on the little stuff, she explains well what to study for and what will be on the test. You need to take good notes! Im no chemist, but she makes it so easy to learn. One downfall she has is it takes her a week or longer to grade exams. Other than that Id recommend!

I really enjoyed her class. If you do not come to class, you will not pass. She explains things very well. I would take her again. For sure!

People that hate on Kyker did NOT put in the work. She was more than forgiving and she stated that if she didn't talk about it and it ended up on the test, she would remove it which she did. She even gave back points that we should have known AND gave extra credit. If you have half a brain and listen to her, you will pass or even end up with an A

Professor Kyles was amazing. She is hard dont get me wrong but I learned a lot and would def take a class taught by her again!
