Reviews of professor Lea Nienhaus

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You will have to teach yourself 100% of this class. You will be the only general chemistry course that only gets one attempt on their homework. She will yell at you if you ask any questions at all. Your exams will be more difficult than other general chemistry courses and they will cover 5 chapters of information. She designs her class so you fail.

This class is made of 3 exam grades which are so long most don't finish. My tutor told me she teaches chem 2 material and makes this course unnecessarily hard. However, she offers an insane amount of extra credit that really boosts your grade. You have to teach yourself the whole course but its not that hard if you try

Class seems like a lot at first, but she gives a lot of extra credit and curves her tests an insane amount. It's a hard class to begin with but she took it pretty easy on us. She was also really nice if you went to office hours.

Dr. Nienhaus only has three tests and a handful of homework assignments. She has TONS of extra credit and allows students to make up points on her tests, which also has a generous curve. This does not discredit that her class is tough! Office hours were helpful and with the amount of extra credit available, it is very easy to obtain at least a B.

This class was exceptionally hard to follow. The professor makes students feel stupid for asking questions. She is clearly intelligent, but is unable to break down concepts for others to comprehend. She reads directly from a confusing slide, and barely answers questions. She also is very rude when you try to get help from her.
