CollegeThis class is absolutely insane and ridiculous. Never had a professor worse than Feldwinn. If you want to see cute smart guys, take the class, otherwise you're getting nothing else out of it but a teacher who is not nice, doesn't grade well, and will curve grades by accident! Because of this class I'm going to switch majors. UGHHH IM SO MAD.
The class was pretty demanding but on the whole fair-the questions on the test were taken verbatim from the homework's/lectures. Homework was optional so it's rly up to you how much work you wanna put in.
DO NOT TAKE.
Never take her. Never take her class. She made me sit in a WET seat during an exam because there was a leak in the building. She is also a horrible professor. Never take her class.
Professor Feldwinn was a decent teacher. She reads from her slides and asks for questions. She uses alkes and you HAVE to pay 100 dollars for the website. She does not understand your personal situations most of the time. And when the class starts at 8am she ends the attendance question at 8am that means getting there by 7:45am or so
Feldwinn's 1A class is notoriously challenging, but engaging with the textbook, practice problems, and resources like Unstuck study AI can help you navigate it. The lectures move quickly, so staying focused is key. It's a tough class, but doable with hard work.
