    1B . Feldwinn D L 29 Days Ago

    I took 1B with her and did not pass along with about 50% of the class. She does not curve even when the average is very low. So many practice problems. She is, however, accessible outside of class, even if her office is incredibly small. The worst part is being REQUIRED to get to class 15 minutes early (for an 8am) for iClicker question (graded).

    1B . Feldwinn D L 3 Months Ago

    I felt so little enjoyment during this class I considered changing my major. You're expected to show up 15 minutes early and iClicker is used. You're taught more by the dozens of book problems she assigns than you are in class. Tests are more difficult than they need to be. Take another professor unless you want things to be unnecessarily hard.

    CHEM1B . Feldwinn D L 7 Months Ago

    Feldwin 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.

    1B . Feldwinn D L 7 Months Ago

    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.

    CHEM1B . Feldwinn D L 7 Months Ago

    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%.

    CHEM1B . Feldwinn D L 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

    Don't take her unless you have absolutely no choice. If you do have to take her, do ALL the book problems; she gets most of her test questions from the textbook and ALEKS. I went to office hours and it was actually very helpful, I wouldn't have passed without going.
