Reviews of professor Lea Nienhaus

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
this is class is 75% down to 3 tests (midterm 1, midterm 2, and a final). For each of those tests, heavy curving was involved. homework almost every week and not too many problems are shown in class (mostly the concepts). I recommend going to her office hours if you have any doubts, and she is happy to help out.

This class was hard. Ive never taken chem, so it was hard for me to follow. Dr. Nienhaus is accessible outside of class and even though she might not show it, she does care about the students. I was emailing her throughout the semester(I had a D after the first exam) and she helped me a lot. I ended up with a B!

This class is literally set up for you to fail. I planned on using past assignments to study but was unable to do to the right answers never being provided. You take three exams which are impossible to finish during the time allowed. there is a good amount of extra credit but you will have to teach yourself everything.

do NOT take her. average on first exam was 39% & your grade is based on two exams & the final. be prepared to teach yourself. makes students feel dumb if they ask questions. reads verbatim from slides & does not explain anything. makes snarky remarks towards her students for no reason & clearly does not enjoy her job. literally take anyone else!!!!

She is an alright professor. She lectured with powerpoints and then skips through all the practice problems and expects us to do them on our own. I had to spend a lot of time studying all the content with 3 exams.The one thing that saved my grade was the exam extra credit. Those boosted my grade so much as well as the other extra credit she gives.

Honestly just read off the PowerPoint this entire time. If you are taking this class be prepared to take go over course info outside of class.

3 tests which come out to 75% of the final grade. The tests do not cover anything went over in class. She just reads off of the PowerPoint and you have to reteach everything on your own time. Study guides are NOTHING like the actual exams. Exams are extremely rushed, with multiple parts per question. Impossible to finish in time.

Not a good professor. I am usually a straight A student and I failed this class. The average for every test is an F or a D and she did not curve the last exam because someone got a 100. We started 400 people in the class, and by the end of the semester, a week before finals almost 150 dropped because they were failing. DONT TAKE HER.

Dr. Nienhaus does not go into detail during her lectures. She reads directly off the slides and works through practice problems extremely fast. I would recommend reading the book as it will give more information than the professor will.  She refuses to tell you how to prepare for the exams or what material will be on it.
