She is very enthusiastic and passionate about what she teaches. I think she does a fine job teaching and explaining the material with clarity. Like everyone else has said, her midterms and finals are very tough. But I love her as a professor, and she is helpful when you need it. Plus, she has a lot of real world examples that help clarify concepts.
She is very enthusiastic and approachable. Must attend lecture and do the book work (it really will help you on the tests). Only complaint is that when she wrote on the board she would make a lot of mistakes and it was very difficult to keep up.
Decent teacher but i had better professors for chem 1b and 1c this year. Meh okay professor
Hardest chem teacher ever. Had **** for 1A and breezed through without ever attending lecture. Feldwinn's test are hard and I failed both midterms before the curve, although she did have a rather large curve. First failed midterms in my college career :( If possible, take someone else
Ive had her for both chem 1a and 1b and plan on taking her for 1c as well. Her tests are really hard but she is an excellent teacher and she curves and gives extra credit, so it all evens out in the end. She is fair and super helpful and I would definitely recommend taking her class! This is coming from someone who hated chemistry in highschool.
Do have to do practice problems!! She teaches clearly but like most college professors she teaches the basics then you have to learn how to apply them. She gives lots of opportunities to improve your grade so take advantage of them!! She even give extra credit sometimes.
A very good teacher, and an extremely hard tester. You can do well, just make sure you are diligent and put in your study time.
Very passionate about chem and good at what she does, but way too hard of a grader! Failed both midterms and final! Only take this class if you are very proficient in chem and you are a science major looking to go on in the chem series. DO NOT take if you are not good at chem or only have to take 1A! Take someone who passes everyone like Hooker.
Professor Feldwinn is very helpful. She understands that chemistry is hard and uses that knowledge to help others grasp chemistry better. CHEM 1B is the hardest of all of the chemistry series and she made it seem not as bad and harsh as I thought it was going to be. Those formulas help but listen to how she uses them.
She has a very clear teaching style, and many opertunities to raise your grade such as substituting pre chap assesments for lowest hw, and iclicker points for lowest midterm. She is willing to do all she can to help a student so long as they make the effort to get help. She is not the easiest grader, but she is a great teacher to make up for it.
Obviously the haters didn't open their textbooks all quarter. Her lectures are designed to clarify the confusing material in the book rather than replace the book. You can't expect to learn chemistry by just sitting in lectures for 3 hours a week. If you use her lectures in conjunction with the book, you'll find she is an excellent teacher.
This prude woman is sharp. But she is so eager to teach that she forgets all the material!! That's no good. And don't expect to hear her because her notes will be pressed up against her face, sadly to no beneficial effect. She makes many mistakes every class and seems to lack sometimes even a basic understanding of the material she tries to teach
Feldwinn is helpful if you ask for the help. You have to put effort into the class and if you need help ask for it! Be sure to do book problems they come up a lot on tests.
Feldwinn is a very helpfull professor if you actually do the work. She is fair, and for the most part very clear in lecture. She does tend to make mistakes, but always fixes them. It is also clear that she wants to help the students.
Obviously the person that posted the last 4 posts and pretended to be different people didn't do well on the last midterm. Feldwinn is hard but fair.
Doesn't teach, all my learning has come from either my chemistry lab or things I taught myself, because she doesn't do anything. Also, she makes more mistakes in class than I make in an average day, its just an awful waste of my time
Feldwie is chalky as hell....
Great teacher!! lectures are pretty fast pace so make sure to review the concepts before hand. All material she uses is provided online so it extremely helpful! It is definitely not an easy A class, you have to put the work and time but other than that Professor Feldwinn is a great professor who is passionate about chemistry and cares deeply about
great professor. really cares about getting concepts across. very approachable and helpful in office hours. tests are hard, but fair.
her voice is really annoying. did not like her at all. made me drop chem! i went to office hours often and each time i went she didn't help much at all. i felt doomed because i was having a hard time in her class. take CLAS.
Feldwinn is really nice, but her tests are challenging! Don't only do webassign for the credit, understand what is going on cause some of the problems on the test are straight from it. Also look at the examples in the book!! Overall amazing professor :)
Tough, but that's chemistry. You can tell she's really passionate about the subject and always willing to help. Make sure you do the assigned book work. She sometimes moves too fast and its very easy to fall behind. TESTS ARE HARD!
Very nice professor. Just do the textbook work she assigns(on top of the WebAssign) and pay attention in class, and you'll do well in the class.
