Reviews for Catherine C. Fenselau
Average Rating:| kara54 Course: BCHM463 Grade Expected: A April 4, 2012, 3:52 pm | This professor was AWESOME! She teaches straight from the book, so you can skip class all the time- that's what I did. Just study from the book and you will do fine. Each exam is 50 multiple choice questions. There is probably 5 real tricky questions in each exam, but other than that it is pretty simple. Just study from the book and you will do fine. There is a curve, but I do not know how much because she does not say. I had an 87 at the end and got an A. If your looking for a class to skip- this is the class to take! |
| Anonymous Course: BCHM463 Grade Expected: A December 21, 2011, 12:06 pm | This class was a lot of work, and it was hard because I had to rely so heavily on the textbook. Make sure to use Koofers for this class! (I wish I knew this before.) Our final exam was also mostly old test problems. She's overall pretty nice, but extremely defensive when people ask her about grades or the curve. |
| trex Course: BCHM463 Grade Expected: A December 24, 2010, 11:50 am | I took her class fall 2009. She was a terrible lecturer just reading from an outline straight from the book and writing random parts of it on the board. Going to class is a waste of time. All you have to do is read the book and memorize stuff. Her tests are all multiple choice from the book's question bank. Shr claims that she doesn't curve but she definitely does. People got all Cs on the exams and ended up with an A. |

She is soft-spoken, so it will be wise to pick a seat in the first 5 rows of the lecture hall on the first day of class. Although she does try to use the microphone, it would always run out of batteries, so most often than not, she would have to lecture without it. Her lectures are directly based off the textbook chapters. So, you CAN skip lectures if you want (she does post what and what not to read online as well as what problems you should do from the textbook), but since the textbook is wordy and confusing, it's best to attend all her lectures. She does a fairly good job clarifying and simplifying the main points the textbook tries to get across. Her exams are very fair. All questions are multiple-choice. Some questions are just gimmes while other questions can get very detail-oriented. So, just make sure you understand everything she lectured and use the textbook as a supplement. |
