Reviews of professor Tatiana Fadeeva

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Fadeeva is a well-rounded professor that teaches and reinforces the concepts well. Curveball questions on exams are rare. Her one flaw is that she goes too fast sometimes. Go to office hours and do the practice exams. Warning: Do not under any circumstance leave lecture early. She will get mad at you. She's pretty nice otherwise.

Literally first day of class. I was 2 min late and she's already going through practice questions. I'm not saying that's bad but for those of us who don't learn at the speed of light, this class will be super difficult. She was very strict and will downright criticize you for not knowing an answer to the questions or for asking questions in general

First, her accent is definitely understandable and not as bad as people say. Fadeeva was a great professor and always willing to help with office hours and exam reviews. Only downside, she does go pretty fast during the lectures, but I focused more on the textbook and elearning and did well. Recitation in person was helpful for extra practice.

Really good lectures for chem 2

Fadeeva is a good chem professor, but you have to be ready to self-study and do a lot of practice. Her lectures are fine, but her pacing is not the best so she goes thru the slides really fast but other than that you get a lot of review material and if you do them you will get a really easy A or B. Weekly quizzes are kind of annoying but oh well

the final is awful and can make or break your grade. everything open ended from quizzes to exams. make sure you do your labs and pre labs/post labs/quizzes well to pass the class.

Professor Fadeeva is very nice and tries to make her students feel comfortable with the content she teaches but she sometimes does a bad job of explaining certain topics, she'll do practice problems and rush onto the next without really explaining what she did. The class itself is difficult so you have to do most of your own studying.

Not horrible but goes so fast, skips steps when solving a problem, and doesn't give much time to solve it. I mostly relied on the textbook and organic chem youtube videos. If you take her, get ready to have her slides somewhere because you will not have time to write notes and do practice worksheets before an exam/ go to review session if you can.

I had Fadeeva for Chem 1 and 2. She's nice and funny at times. Her accent isn't that bad. Lectures can move fast, so be prepared to study outside of class, I usually watched Organic Chemistry Tutor or Chad's Prep on YouTube. It's one of the harder classes at Rutgers, but if you understand the material, you'll be fine. The cutoff is pretty generous.
