CHEM 111 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 8:56 pm, Mar 11, 2010 |
1 of 1 people found the following evaluation helpful: Took class freshman year and also worked in her "lab" as a research tech. Most passive aggressive and judgemental person I have ever met. Unable to communicate material in class or in the lab and is not willing to provide extra help. Learned much more from TAs. I attended other chem lectures because hers were so unbearable. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS! Was this rating helpful to you? |

CHEM 111 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 7:32 pm, Dec 6, 2009 |
1 of 1 people found the following evaluation helpful: The Chemistry department at CSU is a little messed up, but Dawn Rickey does well teaching this messed up course (which is designed to make students drop). The exams have trick questions, and the recitation is dumb, and the online homework is the best practice. Still, Dawn Rickey presents her material clearly for those who have taken prerecs and has great slides. She does fill all her time plus a minute at every class. Be prepared to sit for 51 minutes and no less. Was this rating helpful to you? |

1 of 1 people found the following evaluation helpful: I would avoid not only the teacher but the class by all means. It is ridiculous. You have a lecture, a recitation, and a lab. You also have online homework that is due every week. The online homework is probably where you learn the best, so it would be AWESOME if that material actually showed up on a test, but of course it does not. The book problems are where most of the material comes from, so I suggest you spend time every single day reading and doing problems. She seems like she's willing to help you out in office hours but really its like, if you don't get it, you better work your ass of and get a tutor. Going to class will not help you, but still go for the i-clicker questions because they seem to help a ton with points. The recitation will make you want to cry pretty much because it is so stupid, spending an hour brainstorming on how to solve a chem problem you have not been taught before. The lab is the biggest waste of time ever, 3 hours and then probably 4 hours outside of class spent writing post and pre lab "models" which are not helpful especially because the teachers and t.a.'s are not allowed to help you, so if you're wrong you just keep on being wrong all semester and then just fail the tests because they never give you a direct answer to anything. Basically this class made me realize that it is not worth it to kill yourself to get a career in science for money, because this class seriously made me miserable. I switched my major to something i love and that doesn't make me want to jump off a cliff. Was this rating helpful to you? |

CHEM 331 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:04 pm, Feb 14, 2008 |
1 of 1 people found the following evaluation helpful: She expects you to know things she hasn't taught. She gives homework problems that might as well be called quizzes because they're not practicing anything she has "taught" or even assigned as reading. She shouldn't be teaching this course if students don't have another professor as an option. There is too much assigned work that has nothing to do with what she tests. All of our assigned homework are easy but when you get to the tests and quizzes they are nothing like the problems from the book. She tests harder than even the book presents. I've never had a worse professor. Was this rating helpful to you? |

Not to mention that there were never any multiple choice questions on the tests and grading was based on your work. Was this rating helpful to you? |

CHEM 111 5th Year Senior Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:24 pm, Nov 3, 2009 |
Dawn Rickey is an overall awful instructor. I got a B in the course (almost an A), so I am not saying this just because the course is difficult.
She didn't seem to care about her students, didn't try to engage them, and rarely tried to present the information in an interested (or even intelligible) way. I think she puts very little effort and thought into being a good instructor, and doesn't mind having students get D's and F's. Her recitations are more stressful than informative, and really just suck. They don't help you practice, really you're learning new things on the spot, and the TA is instructed to not help you at all.
If it weren't for my great lab TA, the lab would have been just as painful as the recitation. There was a totally asinine setup and a way of teaching the lab that did about as poor of a job as it could in supplementing the class.
Overall Dawn Rickey is an awful teacher, and most students should avoid her.

This Professor did not actively try to engage students. If the class didn't get it, it was their fault, not her's (in her mind). She also was in charge of running the labs and recitations, both of which she made unnecessarily difficult, and made them more stressful than informative.
I wouldn't recommend this instructor.

alright,, Rickey has a great teaching capacity and delivers the material pretty smoothly.. She's a chem expert, i'd call her.. However, her tests are a big obstacle from getting an A in that class.. She honestly picks the most five confused choices for each question in each test.. You really need to put a very magnificent efforts in this class.. Also, you better do follow up with the optional homework problems that she posts..
she's very knowledgable about the course but is a hard-nose when it comes to exams!

Prof. Rickey is a very smart women and knows so much about Chemistry, however she is an awful teacher and has a way of making students feel dumber than they should. I am an A and B student and I struggled all semester in her class and recieved a D. When I would ask her questions about the class she was no help what so ever and in a way rude. If you need to take Chem 111 I strongly suggest finding any other teacher.

Her exams are not difficult if you do all of the “suggested” homework from the book. If you cram a couple of night before the exam, you probably will not do well.

Don't let these ratings scare you from taking Professor Rickey's class. Chem 111 is not an easy course; there is a lot of material covered, and it goes by very quickly. No matter which professor you have, a lot of time will need to be devoted to this class to make sure you truly understand the concepts. The tests are not just repeats of the practice problems, they really test your understanding and ability to apply general concepts. I would advise anyone taking this course to do all suggested problems (make sure you don't get behind), work hard on homework quizzes and recitation worksheets, and go to Professor Rickey's office hours. She is really nice, patient and very willing to help anybody who comes to her with questions. I had a difficult time learning chemistry in the past, but I think Professor Rickey is able to explain it in a way that is easy to understand. Her class was informative and challenging, and overall very good.

1 of 2 people found the following evaluation helpful: Professor Rickey is a professor who probably should not be teaching. She was unable to present her material in any sort of consistent manor. Often her examples outside of her power-point presentations were not thought through, and many times she would have to go back and change quantities and chemicals to make her "spontaneous" examples function properly. I attended several other professors' lectures and was amazed at how poor Professor Rickey really is in relation to her colleagues. Additionally, "tricky Rickey" is unable to control her class, and thus spends much of her time either pissed off, or trying to reel in the rolling laughter through the inappropriate and obnoxious misuse of the classroom microphone. Bottom line: "Professor" Dawn "tricky rickey" Rickey is incapable of functioning in an environment of higher education, and probably incapable of functioning in a majority of professions that require any sort of cognitive thinking. If she is your professor, drop before the first class. Was this rating helpful to you? |

This teacher only cares about getting you in and out. She reads straight from her powerpoint and if you want help, forget it. She assumes that all her students have taken this class before. By far the worst teacher i have ever had. If you have her as a proffesor get out while you can.

I have taken higher level chemistry in high school for two whole years and got a 68 on the first test and an 80 on the second test. all she does is go over her powerpoint which i could do at home and not even go to class. her review sessions for the test don't help at all-- none of the material is ever anything like what the test material is like. definitely try not to get her as a teacher if you can help it.

C 331 Junior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 2:28 pm, Apr 30, 2007 |
A shining example of how bad a college professor can be. Lectures are less informative than 50 minutes of reading the book would be. Tests are far too short to allow a STUDENT in the subject to work their way through the problems. If you memorize how to solve specific problems stepwise there is plenty of time, but there is not time to work through a problem conceptually.
Homework is due at the beginning of class, and although the rooms clock is off she argued down to the seconds with me that I was too late to turn in the homework. The saddest part about her as a teacher, is that her area of expertise is designing teaching materials and methods for chemistry and she is by far the worst chem teacher I've ever had, and I like chem. When I approached her with what I viewed as problems with her class I was told, that's too bad, I'm the boss, I get to make the rules. This after during class evaluation day when she said she always considers students comments and attempts to use them to improve her class. What a joke.

I don't believe that Rickey presented the material well enough for me to understand. The only thing that kept my grade up was the recitation grade. I believe I failed every test of hers. Which doesn't do too good on my GPA. I went to the Ingersoll tutoring about 2-3 times a week to try and understand the material. I just couldn't get it. It was also hard to understand anything at 8 am in the morning and it lasted an hour and 15 minutes. I recieved an A in my chem lab, but too bad that doesn't count towards the overall chem grade. Words of advice, do the problems from the book that she assigns, and possibly print and read the notes before class and also the book.

I do understand that chemistry is one of the more difficult classes in college and that the subject is hard to learn. ALthough, I still think that Rickey was not a good teacher. In high school I had a year of chemistry and passed with an A, but in this class I got a C. The problem was that Rickey could not effectively communicate the concepts needed to pass her class. The recitations were much more helpful and are what saved my grade, the grad student that taught my recitation conveyed the chem ideas much more effectively that Rickey did. I would not advise taking her chem class unless you have too, the class is passable but tough.

I second the evaluation that said her reputation is more due to the subject matter. 9 out of 10 people don't like/are afraid of chemistry, so when they don't understand it they blame it on the teacher. I thought Dr. Rickey was good. If you go to her office hours, she is very helpful and I could tell she really wanted to help me. My recommendation for this class is to do the practice problems. There are a lot of them, yes, but how else will you be prepared for the test questions?

On top of that, the recitations had nothing to do with what we were learning in class - Also, quizes were given in the recitations, but they were much harder then what we learned in class. Overall, a bad experience and a bad teacher... DON'T take this class!

I took this course as a Freshman, and I think many people who did like the class maybe were just a bit shocked at the work load. It's a 4 credit class, working 12 hours a week outside of class should be expected. And labs are always time consuming. To do well in this class you should do all the homework, just because it isn't graded does not mean that it isn't required.

I think most of these comments on Dr. Rickey are unfair. She presents the material understandably, and when possible provides new ways of seeing things, like using balloons. She was always available to help me. i think the recitation homework was difficult, but useful in that nothing on the tests were that hard and I always felt prepared. Overall not a bad teacher at all.

I honestly don't understand why so many students dislike Dr. Rickey. I feel sorry for her, as I think her reputation is due to the material rather than the way it is presented. The class is difficult and the material is boring, but it's not her fault. I enjoyed the lecture a lot more than the recitation and the ridiculously hard assignments we had to do in there.
Be prepared to read, do countless practice problems, and practice tests. Don't plan on missing any lectures (I missed one and I was lost for about a week). Go to office hours if you're lost in the beginning, as the topics build off one another.
The class average plummets as the semester goes on. The median grade in the class becomes a middle C for the final grades. Expect a minimum of an extra 10% tacked on to your grade when all is said and done. I honestly didn't put too much time into the course, and still received a B, but I always attended class.
This is college- If you can't handle the work take the easier "Fundamentals to Chem" class or change your major.

I tought she was a good teacher, willing to help you out if you need it and gave us worksheets that were not for grades, but just to be helpful and they were VERY helpful. My advie would be to make sure not to miss any class, and this is for all Chem classes, because if you do i can promise you will be lost after that.

A decent-to-good professor. She organizes the class fairly well. The class is very well structured. She is not the best at making chemistry interesting. Class will be dull and full of note-taking, but what else can you expect from chemistry I guess. Rickey is pretty effective at teaching, and you will learn chemistry.

Rickey truly was a beast. Her tests were 75% multiple choice and 25% short answer, which could be good and bad. We had weekly Webct quizzes which did help with material, but could easily be cheated on. She worked on her tests with another professor, so we did not know all of the material. We were forced to do in class group work-which is silly because it's a lecture class. She had notes on Webct, but she always read too fast and got mad at the class when someone wanted her to go back a slide or too. If you get her...get out!

Dr. Rickey is the main reason I am doing so badly in Organic Chemistry. We didn't get enough of the base chemistry knowledge in the class. The one good thing about her was that she did a lot of in class examples... Given these examples weren't usually close to anything on the exam, but hey, she tried.

They unleash this vicious beast on younger students because they know older students wouldn't put up with her. I have tried to correspond through email and she never answers. She does not teach her class, she expects you to know everything. She will not take a hint that it is not normal for ALL her test scores to be below 55%. You can't teach this old fat dog new tricks.

WOW. I Hate Dawn Rickey!! She has to be the worst chem teacher here at CSU. The way she bores students during class is absolutely ridiculous. She has no idea how to pass on the information in a matter that makes any sense to the student. I have put significant effort inton this class and could only manage a C. The test that this woman( I refuse to call her a teacher because she teached nothing) gives are so far off from the material given in class and homework assignments. That is why the test average is right around 50 percent. If the CSU chemistry department had any sense at all they would ditch the b*tch and find another teacher. If she somehow ends up sticking around.... drop the class ASAP!!!

1 of 2 people found the following evaluation helpful: Rickey has to be the WORST TEACHER I have ever had. This maybe because she is not teacher at all, all she does is work through practice problems that are as long as they are pointless, or because in a monotone voice she lectures her students over already completed problems. She does not teach, she regurgitates information in a way that confuses her students. With her test averages being in the 40's and 50's I think she needs to reevaluate if teaching a freshman level chemistry course is the best place for her. I have never before in my life had to put so much effort into a class only to recieve a C for my work. She puts her students to sleep with her class not changing or making the calss anywhere near interesting. My recomendation, if you get her drop the class and switch professors. And don't think that what i said earlier applies to all chem II professors, i have attended diverdi and watkins classes and was excited with their teaching style. I'll leave you with this, F.D.R. and T.O.B.B. Was this rating helpful to you? |

I've read the other reviews and I agree with everything they said. Her lectures weren't even a true lecture. They basically involved her giving the class one brief concept and then spending the rest of the lecture (about 40 minutes) giving one or two examples. The examples she gave weren't even that helpful when it came to doing the exams, either. The exams also covered concepts that she barely touched on in class and problems that were much more complicated than those giving in the book or homework assignments. I would go into the exams feeling like I knew the subject and come out of them feeling like I did pretty good. Unfortunately, I still got a D and an F on two of the exams. My grades on the exams didn't show at all the knowledge that I had. Basically, stay away from Rickey.

Watch out for Dr. Rickey...she teaches the course as if all her students already know the material. Her homework quizzes do not help her students learn where they stand on the material, they just act as a point filler. Her practice tests are almost nothing like the real tests. The first test was set up very well, but the next 3 tests had averages in the high 40's and low 50's! Dispite emails from students and pleas of change in her class, she blamed her students for not putting in enough effort...I had never put in more studying for a class and I get a C! She has no personality in her teaching...monotone voice, no smiles, no jokes, nothing.
The main problem with her is her tests...she teaches us easy example problems in class, on reviews, and on homework quizzes and book problems; but she then continues to test us on the material with questions in formats we have never seen. She expects us to be able to know what to do when we see something brand new that she never taught us how to do. I wrote emails to her and the Chemistry Chair, but we need more help to change this problem in Chem II. Write emails and talk to the department chair to get a professor that can teach us the material correctly.

Initaial test grades were decent. Averages in the 70 range, but as the class went on the average dropped to 48! Her practice tests WON'T help you on her tests. Don't waste your time using them to study. She posts some notes on the net, but don't depend on them either. Sometimes they are very comprehensive and others are one Title slide for the whole day. Her "homework" quizes on webCT are not really homework, like she says they are. They evaluate the students more than they HELP the students like she says they are supposed to. She tests way ubove where she should and thus leaves students in the dust. The average grade for this semester is likely going to be a 50% give or take 5%. I know this may not matter to some students, but here it is anyway; she is hard to listen too. She always has this perturbed voice infront of the class. She doesn't sound that way in her office, but infront of the class she sounds really harsh or angry.

C 113 Junior Grade Earned: F Required (Major) 10:50 am, Sep 17, 2002 |
Assumes you've taken the class before. Flies through material. Assigns homework that's due before she's even taught the material. Expects you to learn it all on your own and then runs the class like a review session.

CHEM 111 Senior Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:56 pm, Dec 14, 2009 |
0 of 1 people found the following evaluation helpful: Avoid at all costs. I spent over 15 hours a week sweating blood for my B. The class, recital and lab have little to do with one another, the tests seem pulled from a magic hat, and this is the professor that designed them. I learned very little about chemistry, sadly, but learned a lot about controlling anger, academic damage control, and the perversity of the system. Was this rating helpful to you? |
