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!

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.

The way feldwinn's lecture is ran is WAY to fast where I spend the entire lecture just trying to write down what was just said and no time to absorb what it means. iClicker (mandatory attendance) is straight up stupid, ESPCIALLY since its graded on correctness. Overall, patronizing to her students and doesnt treat them like adults.

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

She is a difficult professor, and mostly lives up to her reputation. However as long as you do every single one of the practice problems assigned, you should be fine. She's definitely not the best at explaining some topics, but all the questions on her test are taken from practice problems she's assigned, so not too bad.

such a great personality and a great teacher, but AWFUL EXAMS. you basically have to memorize every single question you've seen and she has assigned order to do well. average is a C on all exams and final exam had no questions like the ones we practiced, in which i failed. be prepared to spend countless hours to get nothing out of it.

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.
