Students will assist the teaching assistant in teaching a lab course in which the student previously received a grade of A- or better. Activities will be determined in consultation with the instructor and include instruction of 1 or 2 lab sections per week. Undergraduates enrolled in Chem 183 are learning assistants (LAs) in the general chemistry laboratory. LAs teach and mentor first-year university students. LAs assist students with experiments, lab technique, data analysis, calculations, learning chemistry concepts, and problem solving. As the LAs learn STEM education pedagogy, they can practice what they learn as LAs in the chemistry lab.

CollegeFeldwin is clear about what's on the midterms and gives a good bit of grade buffer (haha, buffer) with aleks and extra credit. However, the lectures aren't as good as Joseph's and being at 8 am is brutal. Feldwin is def overhated, but be prepared for a very difficult final.
She's a very nice lady; however, her tests are brutal. I would have passed if I had done all of the book problems that she assigned, so please do a million problems. I'm not kidding. Her ULA was incredibly helpful though.
I'm not sure why people say she's rude, she just wants to help you pass. The class is unnecessarily hard though, especially the exams. They are meant to be completely made of problems that have been shown or assigned at some point, but she gives so much homework that you end up not recognizing most of them. One question shouldn't be worth 20%.
Yesssssssss
Even though the exam is tough, Feldwinn's lecture is interesting because she prepared experiment each lecture.
Multiple opportunities for extra credit and her grading was made in a way to get you lots of points back. Three midterms and 4 online quizzes, but your lowest midterm gets dropped if you score higher on the final. Prof. Feldwinn cares a lot about her students, so if you're struggling make sure to go to office hours and do the book problems!!!
