as a grad of iup chem dept, i can say that she's a great prof who knows what she's talking about. the chem field is tough...don't expect easy A's all the time

Had her for two semesters of chemistry as a chem major. Made the material interesting, kept us thinking. Sometime a little out there, but it kept chemistry from being too boring. Plus, classes held outside on occasion.

had her for chem 101 and 102....she was out there...but at the same time because she does rediculous things in class keeps you on your toes and that way its not always boring

very weird, but makes class interesting, if you try, she'll help you, not ridiculously easy, but able to do good

I love proff. Elcessor! She's very sarcastic, but funny! She makes chem fun, and her class isn't too bad if you take good notes and study. She's great! Take her!

I don't know why people say she yells when you ask questions, I ask them all of the time and she nevers yells. Lecture is a little hard to follow but if you study you will do fine. Lab is fun as can be. I would recommend taking her.

I really like pro. elcesser.she is hilarious. i loved her chem 101 class. she always took the time to make sure we understood the material. she actually takes the whole class period before the day of an exam to go over questions you have. I would take her if i was you.

she is one of my fav teacher yet!! she is always there when i needed help, she made chem fun for me. she even knew my name and i sat in the back of a class of 80! take her if you can!

she can be mean in a large class but 1 on 1 or in lab she is great, kinda weird but funny and very helpful, such a nice lady, never had chem before and got an A

Dr. E is a good teacher. The class is not easy, but isn't that why we're here in the first place? To be challenged? If you are up to the task, and willing to learn, take her. She will help you via email, office hours, and yes even during lecture. If you want the A, you can get the A.

Dr. Elcessor is an awesome prof. The lady knows her stuff and is every bit willing to help students. If you go to class, take reasonable notes, and study a few nights before an exam you'll be golden. I got an A in her class with really no problem. Also she has a great personality and a cool sense of humor.

I accidentally took chem for chem majors while being an English major...and even I got a B. Class is difficult, but hard work always brings rewards! She's pretty entertaining too as I can recall.

Dr. Elcessor is great. She makes chemistry understandable. Her tests are not easy but I really feel like I learned the material. She bends over backward to be fair and to answer questions. I wish she was teaching chem 102.

Dr. Elcessor was a great prof. She really knows her stuff and trys to teach it the most simple understandable way she can. Be there for inclass assign's (easy points). Tests are not the easiest, but if you go to class and give it some effort, you'll have no problem. I did well and chem isn't my favorite !!

She was my absolute favorite professor in the Chem Department. A female Einstein with hair to match, but I loved her anyway.

the class itself is hard not directly DR> EL.. she always willing to help during office hours or if you have questions in class. she is a good lecture teacher. Lab she is confusing. she uses power point and puts practice exams up. she is very helpful. do the homework problems. that will help you on the test.

She was great!! you have to study and ask questions, and u will have to go to office hours to clear up somethings. she put all the notes on powerpoint so just print them out study and u will be fine!! Also do the homework so you can get extra points

I only had her for lab, but she is extremely helpful, all you have to do is ask. Also, if you have any other chem questions that aren't exactly for her class she will help you then, too

Dr. E is awesome. She is very fair on her tests and gives practice exams that are extremely similar to the test. The online quizzes are a little challenging but she gives take home assignments to make up for them which if you don't get a 10 out of 10 on you shouldn't be in college. She is awesome for lab as well, I would recommend her to anyone

She was the best teacher I could have asked for. I took chem as my science elective, and she was extremely helpful. She made class exciting most of the time and she was an extremely nice woman. All you have to do is talk to her once and she'll help you with anything. Wonderful professor! I am upset I won't be able to take her for chem 112.

Chem 111 was a breeze with Dr. E. She's surprisingly energetic and makes a dull subject interesting. People in her classes don't go to class, fail her tests, and then blame her for their Fs. No - Elcesser is a helpful and knowledgeable prof who gives a ton of practice and review materials. If you do poorly in this class, it's YOUR fault.

Dr. E is helpful and gives lots of points in lab. she is a good choice for lab she drops 2 lab reports and 3 quizzes. she's nice but takes forever to give back grades and complains an whines a lot about unrelated topics. other than that i would definitely recommend her

She means well, but is very goofy. She teaches straight from her power points and puts them all on moodle. Her tests are from the power points and her practice tests also posted on moodle. If you do all the suggested work, you should be fine.

She was a kinda fun and weird professor. Class was super hard unless your amazing @ chem. Exams are killers! Book is useful, some extra credit offered, tutoring is available. *This class is extrememly difficult*

He is nice but a little crazy at times. Her tests seems to diffcult at first glance, but she gives you a almost identitical practice test to practice with and an opportunity ask question during class. The in class work isn't hard (if you GO TO CLASS) and straightforward. If you are failing this class, it not her fault. Go to class and study, simple

If you want to do well, you must go to class! I had to repeat this class because I thought I could just skate by without attending or studying. She has a little bit of a temper but is nice overall. Dr. E gives a lot of in-class bonus points and random in-class assignments that you can't make up so beware!

Class is difficult, but not unreasonable. You must go to class and study often. Dr. E's teaching is very clear and it is possible to learn a lot from her, but reading the textbook and going to class are imperative. Homework is not mandatory per se, but she does assign problems and checks them randomly for bonus points. Did I mention go to class?

Dr. E is a very good Chemistry teacher. Im actually surprised at her rating. She's very helpful and she actually cares about her students. I had her for Chem 111 and i took her again for 112. GO TO CLASS and keep up with your reading and those problems she gives you and you'll be fine. Work will be needed to be put in but you will learn a lot.

I really liked Dr. E. She was kind of no-nonsense. She'd give us the chemistry and we'd have to do it. My second semester she did mostly give worksheets in class, but she would help you if you asked questions and she was always helpful during office hours. Doing as many practice problems as you can is the key to success in her class.

You're in college. Show up on time, do your work, & be respectful. She's awesome. Very helpful, just show that you care & want to put the money you're spending to work.

Really cares

HANDS DOWN THE BEST CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. I was afraid of chemistry before this class. I think the majority of these bad reviews must be from people who just didn't pay attention AT ALL or never studied. She doesnt treat you like a baby -- you need to do the work yourself. But she makes herself available for any help you might need.

Had her for lab and is pretty good. She makes all of her labs easy to understand, will even help if you need it. There is a quiz every week for 10pts and a paper due every lab. Definitely can be tough on grading but cares about her students succeeding if you put in the effort. Overall a solid choice for Chem lab, I would definitely take her again.

WENDY! Ah!! A stellar woman! Can someone get her the professor of the year award?? An AMAZING prof! Very clear about her expectations, always thorough with all of her criteria. Hands down the best prof i've had at IUP yet.

Wendy provides us with plenty of practice for the exams. She provides us with practice exams that are just like the actual exam and many worksheets. She has always gave us a heads up on when the "pop quizzes" will be and what to expect. She is an amazing professor and makes CHEM101 very simple and understandable. I would definitely take her again

A lot of pop quizzes, but shes a great teacher and she wants to help you do well. Heavy in lectures, but she gets off topic sometimes

Dr. E was very kind and went at a nice pace through Chem 101. I really appreciated how your work ethic reflects your grade in her class. We covered a lot in chem 101 and I got overwhelmed toward the end when she sped up with her lectures. Hopefully, she will be just as great in chem 102!

Ahhh! I love this woman. Her class is very tough even if you go to class everyday. Make sure to go to SI sessions, theyll save you. Shes very accessible outside of class if you email her. Very nice woman but does get side tracked in class. You have to study everyday to get a good grade in this class

Dr. E is a really nice lady. She provided us practice worksheets and gave us the opportunity to prepare for some pop quizzes. Make sure to either print out the lecture slides or take notes in class because what she covers in class will be on the test. I did not use the book much, maybe once or twice for practice problems and definitions. Go to SI.

Elcessor is the best chem teacher you can choose. Go to SI. She cares that you pass her class. She gives in class assignment and quizes. She gives bonus and is very helpful. She does get side tracked but she is so funny and does take her time explaining topics so you might fall behind other classes but she will only test you on what you cover

Wendy is a great professor and she cares a lot about her students, she wants you to do well. She puts her slides online, and gives study guides that match up well with the exams, which are average difficulty, just study her practice tests. She is the best lab teacher, she's so helpful and lets you take your labs home if you don't finish.

Dr. Elcesser was a great professor. If you show up to class and pay attention you will pass. She creates her own study guides for the exams and the exams are basically the same questions from the study guides.

Easiest Chemistry professor I ever had. The quizzes are exactly like the homework she gives out beforehand. She also gives practice exams that are exactly like the exams. She gets off topic a lot, but she is kind lady. Once a week she would stay late for open tutoring and would just do practice problems until you understood. She is awesome.

Dr. Elcessor helped me learn so much. Her tophat assignments are easy and helpful, as well as her practice exams. The practice exams are almost identical to the actual tests. She taught clearly and effectively, which I give big props to during the pandemic! Shes also a great lab teacher. Im taking her again next semester! Highly recommend!!

I had Dr. E for lecture and lab. Her lectures were always straight forward and she provided practice exams before every exam that were almost identical to the test itself. I highly recommend that you take the time to do those! In lab, she was always clear when giving instructions and was willing to help with any questions you had. Great professor!
