CollegeExcessive amount of work to do for this class. She has no empathy (grades quite harshly if your work does not say exactly what she wants). Her canvas is so confusing. No crazy exams but lots of time outside of the class. Good luck if you have to take her; she will you alive. If you don't have to take her, run fast in the opposite direction!

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).
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.
This is for Chem 3C. This is my second time having Professor Feldwinn. I loved the class even when it was difficult. The tests were very kind and all in all content is manageable with ample studying! Darby is a great professor!
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.
