Dr. Bailey is a good chemistry teacher. Rather strict though. Her lectures take up the duration of the allotted time. Tests are not extremely difficult. STUDY to make an A or pay attention to make B. Anything less, question YOUR MAJOR!

All of her lectures are on powerpoints which is a godsend for anyone who likes to skip class a lot (I of course don't mean myself :) There is a lot work, but that's how you learn the material. Compared to my Organic teachers, K. Bailey's Chem1&2 is easy.

Power points are awesone.Examples are elaborate and she knows what she is doing.Awesome encourager.Good for long term chem students.

excellent teacher, powerpoint is useful to any chem student and is available online. thorough, patient, avaiable to help.

Informative, nice, and very good at teaching Chemistry!

Great Professor here. She runs a tight ship and has gone out of her way to help me anytime I asked for help. Beware, though, she'll put you on the spot during lecture. Hiding in the back doesn't work, for me.

Great instructor! I really enjoyed her class. She is strict, but I never felt that she was being unrealistic in her demands even when I was the one on the losing end. I highly suggest her for any chemistry class and regret that I could not take her O-chem classes.

She was the absolute best chemistry teacher I've ever had! If you do the work you're supposed to and pay attention in class, you will do just fine on the exams and labs. She is very helpful and knows what is effective in teaching.

GREAT prof! She explains things VERY well and she is very helpful. Notes are on powerpoint which is awesome!! Tests are ok but easy if you study. She can be a bit strict in the lab but not too bad. I wouldn't take any other prof for chem. She knows what she is talking about. Iwoulddefinitelyrecommed

Incredibely dedicated and professional teacher. Will make you work for your grade, but has no problem helping you if you don't understand. Prepare to study your ass off, though.

Fabulous professor! Helped renew my love for school. She gives you every opportunity and tool to succeed. The material is tough already, so she is dedicated to your understanding, and will put just as much effort into you as you put into learning.

Serious professor. No slacking in this class. Has a great teaching style and excellent powerpoint notes to follow in class and study from. She is very knowledgeable in this field. Come prepared and with your game face on though!

She teaches very well and provides profficient notes and her tests, are very inclusive of everything you need to know. If you do your part of studying , then you will do well in the class. Do not be afraid to go to her office, she will help you out!!!

She is an amazing teacher! I found the class very easy. However, I have had chemistry in the past. But, she makes herself very available for questions and mini tutor sessions. I recommend her for Chem 1115 and 1215.

Hard class, she made it understandable and easy. An A will be on your transcript if you put in a little effort.

Really awsome teacher. Would recommend her for any chemistry course. Chemistry is a challenging and sometimes time intensive class but she is an excellent teacher.

This class was made to be very interesting by her, and easier to understand. Sometimes I felt a bit put off by her, but I still got through just fine. Every time I went to her office it was full of students with her tutoring all of them, her commitment was nice.

Dr.Bailey is an excellent teacher. chemistry isnt easy but she does everything she can to help you understand it. she tells you what will be on the test and you dont have to take notes bc she prints off power point slides for you. i recommend her to anyone taking just chem I or more.

I took the online class and it was great. Chemistry isn't my best subject, but Dr. Bailey made everything clear and easy to understand. She uses powerpoint, which really helps.

Chem Around Us -Online An interesting class. With any prev chemistry, it's easy, otherwise, you'll have to work hard for your A. Teacher is ok overall. She can come off as a little put offish because she is a little too in your face with her "doctor" references to herself. Dr. Seuss is a "doctor" too!

Very thorough instructor. She truly cares for her students and is very helpul if help is sought out. She makes it clear what she wants on her exams. Practice problems are very helpful. Her powerpoints on her webpage are thorough. Attendence is neccessary for a good grade

I just love Dr. Bailey! Just don't expect to walk in and have an A handed to you.. you have to work and you have to study, but the outcome is you actually learn Chemistry, and if you are going into a health profession, YOU WILL NEED IT. She gives you all the tools you need to succeed and is extremely availabile for help. Strict, but a great teacher

mrs bailey doesnt grade fair, i've never seen a college professor that keeps your papers so u can't compare them with eachother. I dont mind hard graders, but if she is going to grade tough she needs to grade everyone the same.

Dr. Bailey is probably the best chem prof at occc! Chem is hard anyway but she explains things VERY well. Also, if you don't understand something go to her office and she will work with you. She can be strict in lab, but for good reason. Tests are a little tough at times but if you go to class and pay attention you won't have any problems.Take her!

the best teacher, I got an A

GREAT teacher!! Go visit her during her office hours because she is eager to help you understand chemistry! She knows her stuff!

She is very nice and super smart ... however, her tests are very hard and she is very trict on grading.

She is the best teacher in chemistry in occc!! take her?

Kristy bailey is a really good chem teacher. She knows chemistry, and knows how to explain it to you. She is really smart and fair when it comes to grading. I would recommend her for general chemistry I

shes great, always eager to help if you ask a question

She is a good professor. She explains the material well. Your job will be doing homework, studying the lecture and focusing on stuff that she emphasizes in class. Vocabulary is the need for the exams.

The class itself is extremely hard, but professor bailey makes it very easy and understandable! Take her if you have the chance! I only wish i was still at OCCC to take Chem II with her! Great Professor. No HOMEWORK! Just online quizzes!

very clear and easy to understand

Dr. Bailey is an awesome professor! Chem is a hard class, but she tries to make it as simple as possible. She even highlights her powerpoints to indicate what will most definatly be on the test. No homework, only online quizzes that are due before each test. If you try, she will help you

Dr. Bailey is very hard. Her tests are always harder than what she teaches in class. She seems to try to trick you on problems just so you wont make a decent grade. Do not recommend. TAKE SHORE OR DODD. I had to study 65 hours plus a week just to barely make a B. She does explain things well, but is too strict and wont cut you any slack.

Professor Bailey is awesome! The others are corret in saying that she doesn't make things easy, but she teaches in a way that you have to do some reasearch on your own. I think it's her plan to get you to earn your grade and know this stuff long term! A+ Professor Bailey!

Took Chem 1...I did learn alot but I had to keep up with my studying. Her tests stuck with the objectives in the syllabus. Sometimes a bit snappy when you ask a question that she thinks that you should know the answer. But a great teacher if you can look past the snappy attitude

Her class is extremely hard, but she is fair. Do the work, and you will make the grade. If you are coming from a different school, make sure you go during her office hours and have her review your homework for the first unit (she does things differently than some other colleges). I didn't and I paid dearly for it on my first unit exam.

She is a wonderful teacher. Easy "A" if you study and come to class. She is very helpful and encourages you to go to her office hours for extra help. I hated chemistry before having Dr. Bailey. Her test are easy if work through her practice test. She also gives bonus points on her test so you can make over a 100. :) Best teacher I ever had!!!!!

Great Professor. Extremely helpful. Really enjoyed her class and learned a lot. She gave us 6 exams and a comprehensive final though...

Dr. Bailey is your best choice for a chem professor at OCCC. She has high standards, but will grade you fairly. If you need to know chemistry, and know it well, take her classes.

She's clear, organized, passionate, enthusiastic, and tough. I was nervous about taking my first chemistry class but she helped me discover that I love it. She sets high expectations for her students. In my list of top 5 favorite professors of all time.

Kristy Bailey is one of the best professors I've had so far during my college career. She is crystal clear during her lectures and she'll explain something when someone doesn't understand it. She is tough and her tests are pretty lengthy but if you study, you'll be set for the tests.

Great professor and clear lessons. If you want to get knowledge ( not only grade to pass the class), you should take her. I like her and like to attend in her class a lot. Time spent fast when I was in her class.

She's one of the best science teachers at OCCC. A's don't come easy, but B's aren't too difficult, and you will learn a ton of chemistry. I had difficulty staying awake sometimes with my Chem I professor, but that was never an issue in this class. I would recommend her to anybody wanting to learn a lot of chemistry.

I had Dr. K. Bailey for Chem I and Chem II and am taking her for Organic Chem. She is an outstanding teacher that has a passion for her students and making sure everyone understands. She does have high standards, which makes you have those standards for yourself. Her courses are tough, but she presents the information very well. Highly recommend!!

AMAZING! I got lots of knowledge.

Never had any chemistry before but she explained the material very well and is straightforward about what to expect on the test. Learn your elements and ions and it should be okay.

Best chem professor at occc. She is clear on her expectations and is consistent. She does grade hard, but she makes it very possible to get a decent grade. She is personable and always helpful during office hours. I learned to love chemistry from her, and I look forward to taking another course with her. Highly recommended.

Dr. Bailey is excellent and I highly recommend her for anyone that really wants t learn. She does a lot of examples during class so you really understand the potion of it. You do not have required homework, but the homework she gives will help you with the tests. The test are not easy A's but they passable even if all you do is pay attn to notes

Great teacher! Very picky on her answers she will accept on the tests, but she makes that very clear each lecture. If you do everything her way and go to class there's no reason you can't get an A!!! She's very clear on what she expects and the practice tests on her webpage are a great tool for being successful in her class.

Amazing professor. Clear expectations, helpful, great lectures, test grades are always returned in a timely manner.

I had Bailey for Gen Chem I lab, so I can't speak for her lecture skills. She can come off very harsh and holier-than-thou. She is strict and professional. But she's very smart, and actually quite helpful if you ask for it. Don't drop after the 1st lab period. She's probably a good lecturer, but her voice is very slow, concise & a little exhausting

best chemistry class ever

She is a great professor can be tough, but the course is overall tough. She won't baby you, she has good expectations for you. She is very understanding, especially for those who are Pre-Med and who has a very heavy course load. Her tests can be tricky, but she is overall a great professor.

I took Dr. Bailey for Chem 1, 2 and O. Chem 1 so I know her pretty well. Her style is, in her own word, "benevolence-dictatorship". If you take Chem as elective or a fulfillment for a degree, take someone else. If Chem plays a major part in your career, then Dr. Bailey is your best bet. She is super persnickety, but for your own good. She cares!

Kristy Bailey is really good teacher. She can get down to your level to teach in a way in which you will fully understand. She is a tough grader on tests. Also, she likes to trick you on exams. You really have to know the subject in and out and with some work, you will do just fine

I've taken Dr. Bailey for Chem II and Organic I. She is a very tough grader and has high expectations, so she is perfect for someone who plans on pursuing a medical-science career. She takes the time to explain any questions and very thorough in her lectures. Yes tests are hard, but it's for the better. Love her to death.

Dr. Bailey is one of the best professors I have had. She is very patient and explains great. She is always willing to help students. I took her chemistry I class and it was one of the hardest things I've done. I couldn't have done it without her help. If you want to pass the class, don't miss one day of class, pay attention, study and ask for help

Probably one of the best professors I had. Her lectures are clear and concise and and really wants students to ask questions if you don't understand. Tests can be tough but once you get the hang of doing calculations and sig figs then you can nail your exams.

She was very clear and concise during lectures, however she talks in a very monotone voice, But she was absolutely great and I do recommend, just make sure you learn your sig figs.

Professor B is very nice. She tells you what is going to be on tests. But you definitely have to study lots if you want to make an A. Chemistry is not an easy class. She hands out powerpoint slides and is always willing to help you. She can be tough on grading because she is specific on what she wants. Overall she is helpful I would recommend.

Gives amazing notes and study guides that are almost identical to the test.

Dr. Bailey is the greatest professor in the world! I took her for chem I and Organic I. She is perfect for pre-med students because she is tough, but teaches so well that you will have the knowledge for the MCAT. She will bend over backwards to help her students do as well as possible! Chemistry is a hard subject so be prepared to work hard!

Bailey explains things really well, and if you don't get something during lecture you can go to her office hours and she will help you understand. She is definitely a hard ass though, so be prepared to study and put in some serious time for this class. Just know it will pay off and you'll leave the class really knowing the material.

Prof B is great! Show up to every class and pay close attention to how she explains things and it should be an easy A or B. As a visual learner, college can be hard with profs who just talk, but she shows you how to work things out on the board very clearly. I've taken this class with another teacher before and failed, but she made it easy!

Dr. B is very fair. You cant bs anything, if you don't know it or don't study you will not pass. she gives clear objectives that you will need to know for tests. as units go on, the new units build on past material so you have to LEARN it. you cant just cram for tests. lab is tedious but it can really help your grade at the end if you try

Dr. Bailey is one of the best professors I have ever had to take. Her course is very tough, but she gives you all the tools you need to succeed in her class. I worked 40+ hours a week and have never taken a Chemistry class before (even in high school) and I passed with an A. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about chemistry.

I took Chemistry 1115 from different professor and managed to get easy A but when I took her class for chem 1215 I knew all i studied was not correct form. She does not give any bonus questions compared to other professor so it might have been difficult to get those points but she is definetely the best if you want to learn. A if you work hard.

Bailey is great and she makes sure we are very clear on what will be on the test. She goes through multiple examples on each concept to ensure the class understands. Encourages office hours, tutoring, and asking questions to make sure you're ready for the test. Remember your formats and significant figures, and you'll be fine!

She is an amazing teacher! This is just not an easy course anyways but she is very clear in everything she explains and she teaches you from the ground up and its so helpful! She wants you to fully understand everything not just pass the test. She is a tough grader but it is because she is so clear on whats expected.

I thought she was rather thorough with her teachings. There is no way you can skip class and pass. She gives so much valuable info! The class grades weigh heavily on your exam grades. Also, she doesn't make you feel stupid if you answer wrong or if you tell her I don't understand. That is such a relief. I am taking her for chem 2! She is that good.

Dr. Bailey is a solid professor. She is thorough when teaching, and works examples in class. In addition, she tells you how to succeed and shows you what NOT to do on her exams. When she says "don't do this" and writes on the board, pay attention! Every unit she prints and passes out notes, and she wants you to participate in class.

Bailey teaches very well, her lectures are clear and often times she'll tell you to study a specific question because it will be on the test. The only reason I rate the quality a 4 is because she is condescending. I think she is an excellent teacher but she's a bit snarky. There are 6 exams and a final that make up 700 points of 760.
