Prof. Feldwinn is the best professor I've had so far. Her lectures are very clear and helpful. Tests aren't easy, and you DO have to work hard. Tests are consisted of free responses and multiple choices. Attending lecture and doing the assigned book problems is the key to acing the exam! She also curves the class and gives a lot of extra credits.

She's just so annoying and makes things way harder than they needed to be.

Feldwinn's probably the most straightforward out of all the general chemistry professors. Tests are hard but there are very few trick questions: it's all about practicing and making sure you know what you're doing. She gives out small amounts of extra credit, but her focus is on making sure YOU get the material (solubility song :D). Great lectures!

If you are not a morning person and you know it, do not take this class. you might think you can do it but in reality it will affect your grade if you don't show up or stay awake during lecture. this is the first class i failed in my whole life, if you have the choice choose any other professor DO IT. DO NOT RISK your grade taking this class.

Feldwinn is a great teacher. She tries to explain things clearly. However, tests are tough. If you want to have good grade, you must do a lot of book problems and actually attend lecture. Iclicker points isnt worth anything by itself, but it replaces ur lowest quiz grade. I was struggling the entire quarter, but her curves are generous.

Her lectures are moderately clear and her pace is fast. She has iclicker questions, with 1 being given before each lecture; some appear on her midterms. Her tests are both free response and MC; they are difficult, but the class is curved. She is always willing to help, either with midterm questions or concepts.

If you're a freshman, do not take 8AM with Feldwinn. I repeat, DO NOT TAKE 8AM WITH FELDWINN. You will fall asleep. You will not pay attention. She seems easy at first, but just you wait as the quarter wraps up. She's energetic but not clear and moves on very quickly. Take Chemistry with another professor. TRUST ME.

If Feldwinn is your only choice for Chem 1A then may the lord have mercy on your grade. She is not necessarily a bad teacher, it's just that for an introductory general chemistry class she makes it really hard on the students.

Her class is really hard. Luckily, she is really helpful at her office hours and there is a good chance you'll pass if you attend them. I had a C- then before the final went in every time i had a question and raised my grade to an A-.

Hardest Chem 1A professor out there. If Chem is your only real class of the quarter, and you have enough time to devote to doing book problems and lots of studying, you'll be fine, but if you're taking this with 3 other challenging classes - get a different professor. She's really good at teaching when you go to her office hours, but her lectures..

I hated chemistry before this class, but I really like it now. She is very clear in her explanations, and she uses bookhw probs on her tests. If you pay attention in lecture, do the homework, and do the book problems, it is easy to get an A or at least a high B in the class.

Unbelievably hard. Don't take her unless you are an aspiring chemist or scientist that frequently uses chemistry. Otherwise, if you are just taking the class as a prerequisite for your major, PICK SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR GPA!

She was really a good professor. But homework, quiz and exam, hmm, that's a different story...

It's a hard class, but if you do all of the book problems and work really hard its easy to do well. She's there for you and structures the class so that comprehension and hard work lead to good grades. But, if chemistry is not your strong suit, prepare to work very very hard.

Feldwinn is obviously passionate about chemistry and teaching. She does experiments in class that are useful for more visual learners to demonstrate topics covered in class. Do the book problems! They're usually a large portion of the test.

She explains topics thoroughly. You HAVE to go to class in order to do well. She posts slides, but the examples of problems that she writes on the boards are crucial. They will not be on the slides. About 40% of the midterm final problems are ones you've seen before (from slides, board examples, ALEKS, book problems).

Really good at explaining stuff!

HARD class! Feldwin talks extremely fast in class and often skips steps on the board. She wastes time doing experiments and Iclicker questions when she could be lecturing.

Studied super hard for each exam, and got Ds on all of them. I did every single book problem, but the short answer problems on her tests are much more difficult and she is very stingy with giving points for them. I do have to say that even though I got Ds, the averages were so bad that I ended up with a C+ with the curve.

This is not an easy class, you have to work. Do the book problems and other class examples, such as iclicker and before class questions,for homework. Then work on those problems you struggled with, and focus on those when you study, until you master them. The curve will not be too steep this class, so you better make sure to get a good percentage.

Feldwinn is the hardest chem teacher you will ever have, but she will work your butt until you're a chem master. I loved her teaching/lectures. Her tests are free-response, but a lot of partial credit is given. Didn't do well in her class because I slacked off, but do book problems, take GOOD notes (write down her examples) & you're good to go!

Feldwinn seems to really care about her students, but can get irritated when they don't pay attention. Her tests are very hard–the averages are typically in the 50 or 60 per cent range. She does a lot of practice problems in class, but spends less time on conceptual understanding. She is nice and will answer questions well.

Very hard teach avoid if possible. Makes tests hard for no reason, and the partial credit from the free response seems to make you loose more points than gain. Averages on exams for chem 1b were 52% and 61% this should speak for its self.

Hardest teacher ever. Avoid her as a teacher. Made my first quarter as a freshmen the most stressful time ever. Extremely hard.
