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!!!

Before taking this course, I ate, slept, and breathed chemistry. I now have nightmares about the subject. She has zero compassion for her students. She makes the class impossible to succeed in and entirely about your ability to memorize specific problems. I missed one problem on an exam and got 15% off my score. No partial credit. The lady's evil

This 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.

I would say this professor's grading policy is not reflective of a students intellect and ability but rather their ability to study specific questions and remember a specific answer. There is no partial credit awarded on exams and don't let the “every question tested you have seen before” fool you into thinking you're safe…. She assigns hundreds

This professor is amazing. Professor Feldwinn alongside the TA Carolyn made this class fun and worthwhile! Carolyn was able to explain concepts amazing and is truly passionate about helping students. I would recommend Professor Feldwinn to anyone who wants to learn chemistry from a passionate teacher! Also generous grade bumps. ie: F->C, D->B….

Amazing teacher who obviously loves teaching chemistry but makes it almost impossible to get a good grade. Curves down too

Pros: All problems on the midterms/finals are problems she has assigned you before. Some extra credit opportunities. Lots of grade padding. Passionate. Cons: Insane amount of homework (graded). Starts class at 7:45AM w/ iClicker (mandatory)! ZERO leniency in grading. Difficult content. How to succeed: Do a million practice problems. Literally.

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.

Feldwinn is an amazing teacher who cares a lot about her students. She's clear about grading and deadlines, and always willing to help in class or office hours or anytime whatsoever. It's important that you do the book problems and everything assigned in her emails. The content is challenging, so stay up to date on the work!

Feldwinn is a very organized and thoughtful professor. She tends to explain things clearly, and despite moving quickly in lecture, she'll always answer students' questions. Her tests greatly resemble textbook and in class problems. The class is well structured, and working hard will get you an A. This is my opinion. Your experience may differ.

Professor Feldwin, I hope you're reading this. You obviously love your subject but you're making it extremely hard to pass your class. Unreasonably hard. Teach the love of chemistry to your students the way you love it, don't make us hate it instead

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.

Do not take this lecture

DO NOT TAKE.

Really good lecturer and made things super understandable and easy to follow along. Walks through problems with you. Having said that, really hard quizzes and tests (much harder than most of the stuff learned in class). Book problems are a must. Only teaches 8 ams. Honestly one of my favorite chem professors due to her lecture style but hard class.

Learned a lot but it is almost impossible to get an A in this class.

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.

So much extra credit and the problems for the midterms are exactly the problems we do in class (iclickers, notes, etc), before class, aleks, book problems, quizzes, and midterm practice. The answers are the exact same. It does take a lot of work and time to do all the problems but I promise if you just do all the problems assigned you can pass.

If you can get a diff chem teacher, do it. She lectures too fast, quizzes are hard, and her tests have FRQs with no half credit. Office hours are semi-helpful, but she's mostly just yelling in your face lol. But if you're stuck with Feldwinn, just LOCK IN. Go to every lecture, do your book problems, sign up for CLAS. Good luck

Save yourself; don't take her class. Her exams are super difficult -- there are a lot of free-response questions, but she only grades your final answer. Her class is significantly harder than all the other chem professors'. If you don't understand every single textbook, in-class, and Aleks problem, you're screwed. CLAS is the only reason I passed.

Feldwinn 1B would be an okay class if we were on a semester schedule…but we're not. She gives an unbelievable amount of homework for being a gen chem class and her syllabus is nothing like the other professors. She also puts a midterm on the last day to withdraw so if you think you're going to fail don't wait for your scores to come out just drop.

Excessive 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!

excessive amount of work. canvas: confusing. professor: no empathy (grades quite harshly if your work does not say exactly what she wants) No crazy exams but lots of time outside of class. Good luck if you have to take her, she will you eat you alive.

The midterms are horrible and I truly don't understand why they are not multiple choice if she is not grading our work /steps. Most of the class is failing midterms and despite the average being 44 SHE DIDNT CURVE IT. I genuinely wish I could have taken any other teacher before commuting the mistake of taking her class.
