She is not Hot and is a horrible teacher
She is not a good teacher, you are required to do way more work than you are required to in order to get a decent grade....overall she isn't a very good teacher!!!
very energetic and loves what she does
Profesor Bacon is an extremely fun teacher. She made class interesting and FERRIS STATE BULLDOGS ROCK!!!!!
She wanted us to email assignments. My first few attachments went just fine, but my last few were messed up for some odd reason. My answers were clear and legible, but it wasn't the attachment was messed up. She gave me zeros.
Professor Bacon is the best professor I've had my whole college career. She's energetic, funny, and very helpful. You actually have fun doing all the hands-on labs and she's never negative--always upbeat and all around fantastic.
Awesome teacher. Very energetic and funny. Lots of busy work, but it's easy.
this was a silly class. I learned more watching CSI. Actually I think this is where she gets her material!
Very interesting material, course and fun teacher. This is what all college courses should be like!

Very perky... OARWETs are required and you'll find they're just busy work (aka: waste of time). Extremely easy to talk to if have problem with her class or classmates.
Excellent class, just do the work and you will get an awesome grade. The labs and classes are easy to follow. I thought she looked pretty hot in those tight black leather pants and I'm female and straight. Recommend taking
cool teacher, touchy had some altercations, man she would look hot if she would wear makeup. Great class, loved the material
This class is awsome. It's easy if you do the work and show up for class. Prof Bacon is really cool too. She teaches great. I'd recommend her 100%.
this woman drives me up the freaking wall. at first i thought it was cool that she was so into her stuff, but by midterm she just pissed me off. i find her annoying beyond believe. the class is easy though, if thats what youre looking for.
Prof. Bacon is a good teacher. However, she is not hot. I enjoyed her class, its fun and easy. I recommend it to anyone.

Whom ever wrote that horrible note about professor Bacon ought to be ashamed of themselves.She was a great teacher and made a very difficult subject more user friendly
ditzy....is she really a prof? I heard she was just a part time helper. I'm paying for real professors I don't want some silly imitation
No Comments
young girls like her because shes a sorority mentor or wanna-be. the rest of realize she plays favorites, she’s moody & kills time w/ busywork called OARWETs. could be a fun class if a skilled, professional taught it-high strung nit-picker & voice like na
Hey Prof. Bacon is cool as hell, yes the OARWET's are useless, but I got an A out her class all you have to do is do the work. Her test are take home, now if you cant pass a take home test you are STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lady bacon isn’t hot-she has a high pitched voice & gets very pissy mood swings-shes not a real professor w/ a PhD-she doesnt act like one in class-she acts like she wants to be a 18 yo student-hands out stupid busywork called OARWET-easy A-stupid teacher
Prof Bacon is one of the coolest profs here at Ferris...She not only knows what she is talking about...but is ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond when it comes to helping out students. Defn. Take her!
If you have to take a chemistry class at Ferris, take her.
I LOVE professor Bacon! she's got a great sense of humor, and is a very intellegent professor! she's always willing to help and always clearly explains the material. very good!!
I enjoyed talking to prof. Bacon. She always helped me when I had troubles with the labs. She is honest and usually fair. A good lab teacher for people who don't really understand Chem. although, you are usually expected to know the material for the lab even though it may not have been covered yet.
An AWESOME teacher who loves what shes teaching! Recommend her to everyone!
Bacon's a real goofball. Don't take her sections You learn what you need from Malapati
Great teacher very helpful and energetic. Easy to undertand and made lab enjoyable.
Super easy class, great teacher, she's a little on the crazy side but easy to understand, nice, and gives lots of extra credit.
This class is easy, but only because Bacon gives a ton of busy work. Read the book - do OARWETS (more busy work). Labs are easy, but she is particular about everything! Lecture is boring, there is so much more potential for this class. Not happy with the content of this class, but it's an Easy A.
I really enjoyed this class, and Professor Bacon was always helpful. She does give a lot of work; however, I found it very easy. Tests were take home. Bacon is a very nice professor as well.
Great class. Labs are interesting. OARWET are annoying but easy points. Mary is very helpful and always exited about something. I think she needs to lay off the caffine. If you need a lab at ferris, take her.
not hard at all. easy class
Teacher is nuts man, she is crazy
prof.bacon is an excellent teacher. do all your oarwet and come to class and you will pass, also remember to never miss labs because you can not make it up.
Bacon Rocks !! Take her classes at any time possible. She inspires interest and is a wonderfully nice woman.
Professor Bacon is the best teacher! Tests are straight foward and she goes over them before you take it. Notes are easy.She doesn't accept bullsh*t as an escuse so don't plan on it. Must do a chapter review/summary every 1-2 weeks, but there is no other homework. Class is fun, interesting, and the shortest 45 minutes you'll ever take. Great Class!
She's the greatest. She helped me understand things that I thought were way beyond me. I loved every minute of class...
Not even CJ major (major in Bus. Admin), and I thought this class was way easy.
Easy class that does a lot of hands on learning, which makes it FUN!! Dr.Bacon is a great lady who likes to make class as fun as possible--oh and she gives take home exams from time to time!! ;)
If you have a hard time in science classes, take Bacon. Shes very helpful and makes going to class painless. The labs are fun and relaxed.
Outstanding Professor who makes sure that you understand the information. A little flighty at times, but her perky attitude makes you want to attend class everyday.
She's a really good teacher. She was really mean the first class, and the biggest sweetheart ever the rest of the semester. Very helpful and enthusiastic about subject.
Interesting and very easy. However, Bacon knows absolutely everything, you literally cannot tell this woman anything. It's annoying sometimes. She lectures about life a lot, and is very critical of students and their personal choices. Oh well, easy A...if you can stand to listen to her from the top of that huge pedestal she sits on.
She is so fun! i love her and i think if you have to take a chem class..take hers...she is very upbeat also
Good teacher, would recommend, But like stated before she thinks she knows everything about everything, which can get annoying, but easy class. Labs are interesting too
Fairly easy class. Great professor made it enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
She's quite a funny character, but I like her. Science & Crime is what I love so if that's an interest for you, you'll like the class and learn a lot. She's pretty easy going and she's clear about what she wants and doesn't mind helping.
Professor Bacon knows her stuff. She is full of energy and loves what she is teaching. She is helpful and always willing to explain! She was a great Instructor and I recommend this class to anyone in the CJ program.
AWESOME PROFESSOR!! She makes the class exciting and fun to learn. If you do the OARWETs and pay attention in class you are pretty much guaranteed at least a B+!! LOVE HER!
LOVED THIS CLASS!!! the teacher is awesome and def. has in interest in what she is teaching. Im not a fan of science, but this class was def. a great way to get a science with lab credit. So much fun you will love the class!
She has a lot of energy and enjoys what she does. Always willing to help when theres questions, and will help you learn the material rather than just give you the answer. Great lab professor!
Great professor overall. Very enthusiastic about Chemistry. Can sometimes get an attitude with student but then quickly fades to humor. Doesn't like it if your late to class. Labs are simple. Turn in each lab paper for 10 points each.
BACON Is A Character! She Is VERY LIVE & Loves CHEMISTRY! She's A Little KOO-KOO At Times. She Have Attiudes From Time To Time, But It Fades To Humor. Do Your OARWET, Come To Labs (Fun & Easy). Prior Advanced Math Skills Is A Plus! Otherwise, Fun & Interesting Class! I Got An A+! Take To Field Scientific Understanding Requirement!
Her scores speak for themselves. Don't think twice about taking her. Great teacher, easy A, fun class.
Great class. Lab is a lot of work, but it is interesting items to do. If you get bored in this class, you are in the wrong field! Learning a little bit about everything has definitely helped me in decided which are I want to specialize in the forensic world. Wish I could take it again!
So upbeat! She is always so happy and so excited about chemistry! It's almost impossible to get bored in her class because she is constantly doing something. Very nice and awesome teacher. Willing to help if you need it also.
She is the best lab teacher you could get for Chemistry. Easy points, and she is really nice and happy all the time!
Mary Bacon is awesome. This class is so cool and you'll learn so much about forensic science and crime!
Bacon is an awesome professor! She is so fun! Go to class, do the iClicker questions, take notes, do the OARWET's, study and you'll do great! She is always willing to answer questions too. Definitely take her!
One of the best Profs I've had here at Ferris State! I would recommend her for anyone, easy classes and you actually learn a lot of cool information unlike most other classes. Just do the OARWETS for each chapter & tests are easy- she basically tells you what's on the tests.
just had her for lab and she was fun and easy
Dr. Bacon is an absolutely wonderful teacher. She is fun to listen to and always seems to be in the best mood. She really cares about the students in her class and tries to help whenever she can. She even saved my grade once from a bad lab partner and I am forever grateful for that.
she taught lab and it was awesome.
Prof Bacon is my favorite professor I've had here at Ferris so far. She's so friendly, loves teaching her class, and is very approachable. I learned a lot in her class. If you do the assignments, and study a little for the exams, you'll get an A. She may seem a little crazy at times, but she's great. I highly recommend her.
As a non-science major, I just needed one more lab credit. Professor Bacon teaches in a way that anyone can understand. Usually, I feel lost in science classes but I actually enjoyed her class and learned a lot. There are weekly outline assignments for the textbook and be sure to come to class everyday for attendance.
Had her for lab, shes very hyper in the mornings & a very happy person. She explains labs pretty well & clarifies what we dont understand.
Technically class is not mandatory but she uses clickers for a couple of questions each class. (most points I got from those are 5pt per class, most you can get) Super easy questions because it's in the notes in front of you. She cares about you and the class is a grade booster. I'm not a chem person and there was little to no chemistry.
had her for chemistry lab and loved her, wish that the lecture teacher was better so I could enjoy the course more. would totally take a class with her again.
Mary Bacon is my favorite professor by far. She has a pep in her step and loves what she does. Although she makes lab mandatory, she'll be understanding and excuse you from the assignment if you email her ahead of time with a good reason. I feel like I learned a lot from her class and can now see things in a different light. Funny lectures too!
Lab Prof. Needs to calm down on the coffee. Really annoying and will call you out even if you are correct. She's the most hyper person I've ever met.
Professor Bacon saved my Chemistry grade. She was my lab professor and I am so glad. She does have quite a lot of energy, but is very positive. If you ask she will most likely give you the answer on the lab. She is a very kind, caring person who explains things very well.
Very energetic professor. The lectures and the labs are actually pretty interesting and you will learn a lot. Quizzes / tests are simple as she basically gives you the answers or it's in the notes. You DO need a clicker, the textbook and the workbook which has the labs and notes in them. If you need a science credit, you will want to take this one.
She is, by far, one of the best teachers that I have ever had. She is clear with what she wants. She engages with students and is always approachable. She likes to get to know her students and will help you succeed. You want to show up prepared to class not because you are told to but because the material is interesting. She makes it easy.
She was such and amazing professor. She was laid back and will help you throughout the lab. If you did something wrong she would explain what you did wrong and help you fix your mistake. She made the lab fun and made me want to be there.
She's overly excited and pretty much seems like she's talking to herself as she sprints across the front of the room. She acts like she knows everyone likes her, and constantly tries to make jokes that create an awkward atmosphere. As well she switches classrooms as if that's a norm without pre-warning which almost cause me to miss her class.
Prof. Bacon is a good teacher. She is very excited about forensic science. All of the tests and quizzes are take home. Many extra credit opportunities. Labs are fun (she brings candy)! A good class for forensic bio majors/minors or if you need a science gen ed. Always bring a clicker & book for notes. OARWETS are repetitive but you learn a lot.
She is an amazing teacher, not to scrict with grades and you get lots of extra credti.
The only positive thing I can say about her is if you had a problem getting something for class then she will help you. However, she's a tough grader, rude, and will shame her students for asking questions if they don't understand something in class. There's no real point to her lectures, she just reads slides and gives 5 point assignments.
Take Bacon! Take this class if you are not a science major and looking to fill a requirement. All exams/tests you take home and fill out before it is due. 2 textbooks required. Attendance in person is mandatory. Lab sessions never run the full two hours. Decent amount of homework but manageable. Show up, participate, and turn in the homework = A.
