Good

Her lectures are amazing, very clear with lots of examples, and she answers your questions very well. Do the homework!! It helps a ton, and that's what the test material is on. Don't even bother to get the BIG BUCKS textbook. Her exams are straightforward and she doesn't try to "trap" students with trick questions.

Awful

Take Vickie Williamson for Chem 101 and Chem 102 McCartney is the teacher for chemistry.

Good

She is an amazing professor. Her exams were exactly the same as the mock exams which the TA's go over each exam week. Even though there is a lot of homework, it does help you to understand the conceptual aspects of the class better.

Awesome

Honestly don't understand why many people don't like Professor McCartney , is by far best chemistry prof for me. I enjoyed her lectures and never missed class because I like the way she teaches. Her tests were difficult but let us be honest A&M University is gonna be difficult no matter what.

Good

I think McCartney is fair.

Awesome

Dr. Stephanie rocks!!!! Her exams are pretty fair and she gives a mock exam the week before. Her lectures are clear and easy to follow and she's very accessible outside of class for help. I actually took her again for 120.

Awesome

T had AP Chem with Dr. McCartney and it was fairly easy. The homework site is awful as well as the lab, however if you show up wanting to learn and are willing to put in the work outside of class, then you will definitely get the grade you want. Her teaching method can be a little boring if you've already seen the material, but she's good.

Awesome

Honestly, I was pretty scared of chemistry because I knew it was going to be difficult, but Prof. McCartney was pretty amazing! She's very funny and her lectures were clear and easy to follow. Even though she gives homework twice a week, it was completion through aleks which made understanding the material a priority. I'd definitely take her again and would highly recommend her as a prof.

Average

Dr. McCartney has slow lectures and a lot of clicker questions that will count for grade points, so go to class! If you aren't good in chemistry, I would recommend going to her class as well as going to SI sessions. If you show her you care about the class she will help you figure things out. Beware of the homework though, she uses ALEKS and I hated it.

Average

Prof. Stephanie is amazing as a person, but her class is tough!

Poor

I took her for CHEM 119 and 120. She's pretty nice, but a tough prof. We had a very fast pacing. She has extremely hard grading. She doesn't even give extra credit. If you don't understand basic chem, it will be such a struggle for you.

Good

Prof. Stephanie is amazing! She's tough but you can see that she cares about her students!! I suggest you do your best to get high points on homework, lab, etc. because it can really buffer your grade. I got a mix of A, B, and D on my exams, but I still got an A because of my final and homework. ALEKS is quite annoying but really helpful!

Awesome

Before I took Chem with Dr. Mac, I had no idea what I was doing. In lectures, she makes the content explicit and easy to understand. We had HW twice a week, so staying on top of it allows you to study ahead of time and be prepared. Tests are difficult, but she plans practice tests for each one, which is highly helpful. People complain a lot on here, but it's completely doable. 10/10 would recommend!

Awful

Until COVID came, I loved her. She made it harder for us to cope with online class. Exams were more difficult! She then acts as though she might make certain finals grading simpler at the end of the semester, but then does nothing. But she claimed she was "Proud oF Us," so I suppose that's what matters, right?!?

Awesome

Dr. McCartney is a fantastic lecturer. This is a difficult class since you must study hard to grasp chemistry concepts, but Dr. McCartney makes it manageable. She is always willing to assist students who are working hard in class to achieve, and she genuinely cares about her students. You will succeed if you put in the time to actually learn.

Awesome

Doctor McCartney is a great choice for Chemistry. She's very helpful. She's very diligent and gives very clear directions on how to pass the exams. Always remember that the mock tests were very helpful. Do take your time in doing the homework, because it will benefit you for the tests. She uses ALEKS for homework. I had a hard professor for 119, so it was great to have her for 120.

Awesome

Doctor McCartney is an amazing professor. I had her for Chemistry 119 and 120. Fortunately, I got an A on both. She explains the material in detail and loves what she does. She prepares you for her tests with practice exams. Also, she's easily accessible via email and office hours for help. In addition, I suggest you to attend the SI sessions. I highly recommend her class.

Awful

I can say that I had many amazing professors this semester. Sadly, Professor McCartney was not one of them.

Awesome

I loved Doctor McCartney. She cared a lot about her students. She's very direct about her expectations for the class. The tests were difficult but similar to the mock exams. Also, the class offers many retake sessions before exams, and the laboratories are very easy too. However, ALEKS homework will be terrible, so make time for hours of daily work for chemistry.

Good

Professor McCartney's pacing is slow, making sure she answers as many questions as possible. She's quite accessible. However, this class takes up a lot of time. ALEKS is a lot and clicker questions during each lecture. On the other hand, if you study well, do clicker questions and take practice tests, you will do well on the tests since those have similar questions.

Poor

Professor McCartney has a very synthetic personality and ALEKS was a complete waste of time. She wasn't very accommodating during the pandemic and a lot of students complained about her. If you can avoid taking her, I would, but if you can't, it's not that bad. I suggest you definitely invest in a bit of tutoring though.

Good

I had Professor Bety for Chemistry 119. Honestly, it was really difficult so switching to Professor Mccartney for Chemistry 120 was so much better. The homework system ALEKS was very time-consuming. However, I recommend writing down at least one problem from each topic on paper. It helped me a lot. In addition, exams were similar to her practice ones. Exams were 14 questions which hurt if you miss a lot.

Poor

Very nice lady, her lectures ARE fun but this was the 2nd time I have had to drop out. Too much homework, if you are a full time student I do not recommend taking this class.

Average

Professor McCartney was fine. The transition to online courses has been a bit rocky, but she made it easier. On the other hand, online or not, her exams are difficult. Class averages on exams tend to be failing. Beware of the homework style she uses. ALEKS will throw you out.

Awful

Doctor McCartney was definitely not the best teacher I ever had. The transition to online school has certainly made it worse and more chaotic. She uses ALEKS for homework, which made things even more stressful in my opinion. Also, she uses iClicker, so attendance is mandatory. Overall, this class is definitely the one in which you have to work hard if you want to succeed.

Awful

Doctor Mack doesn't care about her students at all. She should have made the transition to online easier. Her lectures were heavy and she doesn't provide curves on any exams. There is too much material to cover with too little time. On the other hand, all of her exams went from multiple choices to short answers, so she didn't have to grade and complicate our task.

Awesome

Professor McCartney sent us several emails a day clarifying content, providing resources, and even working out difficult homework topics. She gave sufficient resources for you to succeed in class. Most of the negative feedback comes from bitter students, who thought they wouldn't have to get their grades before COVID. Honestly, she handled Covid-19 the best compared to all of my professors. I will give her more than a perfect score.

Awful

Professor McCartney ruined my mental health. General Chemistry is difficult, but she does it terribly. She doesn't offer any incentives, while other professors are very flexible. She doesn't seem to care if her students fail and it is sad. Many good students have had their GPAs ruined solely because of her. I suggest you take Professor Collins. I heard he was tough but at least kind and understanding.

Awful

Professor McCartney's lectures are very boring. The material is often just thrown together. The transition to online for other classes was a bit difficult, but she absolutely made it horrible. She doesn't care about your grade and showed that the averages of the previous classes were failing. Also, don't expect a curve at all.
