She is a cool teacher, very helpful.. Labs are easy and tests are too!
..Frankel, is a kewl teacher.. Her tests are based on the lab and they are very easy.. REMINDER: lab coat/apron + goggles * being on time / bringing lab manual = EASY "A"..

very hard! inconsistent! has a heavy accent!
worst professor in the world!!!!!
Very helpful, extremely patients, excellent, tests from the book
Ms. Frankelis a great professor and an even greater woman. She truely cares about her students and is always willing to help them. She is one whose office is always open to discuss questions, problems, golf, or life in general. There are no suprises in her classes. You know what to expect in her class.
SHES A TRICKY ONE U WONT GET YOUR FIRST TEST UNTIL AFTER THE WITHDRAW DATE SHE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR DOING GOOD AND THEN YOU SEE YOUR TEST AND YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH
I got A I am happy
She is extremely patients, excellent teacher, tests are fair, offers time after class Highly recommended
Yes, do get your mats professionally done. Be neat in all your work. She is able to be honest. Take her critical comments as a learning guide, because she is one of the best in her field. She is very knowledgable, go outside the chemistry box.
She is such a wondeful individual. Very,very helpful and understanding. I would recommend her classes and will be taking another with her in the summer. The BEST professor I have met so far.
I took the class and was very happy witeh the calss. She gives a lot os homework and test is based ont he homework She grades the test same day and give you results before you go home.
Do not take this professor. I graduated BCC with highest honors (4.0). Then I came back to take the lab thinking it would be a peice of cake. at first she will come off very strict or maybe like a nice little old lady BUT you will find out that EWA is VERY devious and feeds off of others pain. She likes to pick out a few people to pick on and she d
One of the worst teachers in history, She can not teach at all but she does write great reviews of her self. and she is completely paranoied. DOT'TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Frankel is a very nice, friendly teacher. The lab setting is not a stressful place to be. I did all my work and ended up with an A. I honestly thought I was gonna get a C though because I flopped on the final. No quizzes if she sees the class doing the homework. We did not get one quiz. Very far person. I reccomend.
Personally, I liked her very much. She is really nice and willing to help the students the best she can. I received an A, and I would recommend her to anyone. But you have to be willing to study.
She is an extremely good teacher, if you are willing to learn and go to class. I thought she was really funny, and I did not have any trouble understanding her accent. You need to study, but she is always willing to help the students out. I think she is a great teacher, and a very nice person.
dont know how she is in lecture, but as a lab professor. i couldnt ask for anything more..... LOVE YA EVA... she understands lab is something that should be fun and not all serious like were doctors or something.. EVA is the greatest person to take lab with.
Worst teacher I've ever taken I would not recommend this teacher to anyone unless you are willing to suffer, anyway test are not that hard if you read the book, but really she does not explains a thing!
please do not take her class, they way she explains the material is very confusing, and it doesn't help at all. she makes this class very hard, i have no interest staying in this class anymore.
Take another professor if u can,,, she is not helfull at all. she gets nervous when asking questions. and she copy all the answers from the books as they are, doesnot explain the process and confusing sometimes...STAY AWAY ....
great science teacher i've ever had. makes plenty of examples to understand the material. tests in class are fairly easy,
She was not a good teacher. She is not teaching this semester so maybe enough people failed to have the school question her teaching skills.
I would say she is a good teacher. If you don't read or do the homework dont expect a good grade. Test questions are pretty much from the book.
She was a good teacher very easy and nice.
She is a easy teacher and makes things clear. The chapter 3 it the most difficult.After that is easy. I would recommended
She was very nice but a bit snippy & sarcastic at times. My biggest struggle with her class was the accent. It was very difficult to understand her lectures due to the accent, even after reading up on every chapter. Lost interest in going to class, which in turn I lost the money I paid for it.
Miss Frankel.You are pretty hard to pass! I couldn't understand anything she said most of the time! And on top of that what she taught to the class was not in her HARD exams MOST OF THE TIME. Im on the verge of failing and i read and take amazing notes. I regret so much taking her class. I dont recommend her if you want to pass with higher than a D
i'm currently in her class, just started last week, and already i cannot stand her. she cannot speak, and she does things the hard way. i'll give an update as to whether she is good or not at the end of the semester.
She is very helpful and clear I took CHM1040 last year got A.
I took this class and got a good grade. The exams are from he textbook, she will go over every questiosn.I would recommended her.
Way to hard! She doesnt give a review before the tests and she doesnt even go over the tests! Everything she tells you will be on the test, isnt on the test. Dont take!!!
Dont take her if you want to pass chemistry!!!! She has a very strong and fast accent, making it ten times harder to understand whats going on. She tells you certain things are going to be on the test, and they arent. Your grade is based on tests, not attendance, and she doesnt even give reviews.STAY AWAY!!!
Great person and good class! Take her you won't regret it.
I don't really recommend her. She doesn't have good teaching skills. U gotta learn by yourself from the book. She is not a bad person, don't get me wrong. Just that it is not nice to take a class and then see that u provably won't make it. Hope I pass @ least w a "C". I don't wish u guys what I'm going through in her class. Good luck. Stay away!
I am in the class, I am satisfied with the work. I hope I will pass the class, I would recommended her.
Miss Frankel was an amazing prof.It's science people!! it is supposed to be hard that's why u gotta study. I've never taken an instructure who went above & beyond for her students so they can get good grades. I highly suggest students to take Prof. Frankel..I got an "A" & no reason why u shouldn't.
Excellent professor! Teaches you exactly what you need to know for her tests. There are no tricks, she won't put material on the test that she never went over. However, this is chemistry and it is hard material. You need to study and come to class. No reason to not get an A in here.
great teacher! goes above and beyond for her students. Study and come to class, and you should get an A.
WORST: SCATTER BRAINED, DITSY,DOESN'T KNOW HER OWN SUBJECT,CLASS HAS TO CORRECT HER CONSTANTLY! DOESN'T DROP AN EXAM AND ONLY GIVES YOU 4. DOESN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS... TELLS YOU TO WAIT TILL SHES FINISHED AND THAN WONDERS WHY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND... CONTRADICTS HER OWN TEACHING METHODS... ALL OVER THE PLACE... WORST PROFESSOR AT BCC. STAY AWAY
the person who gave the below rating: blame yourself! I, and many others, had no problems getting an A in this class. You need to do your own share of studying on your own. Grow up, this isn't high school. Frankel = the best chemistry teacher at BCC. Plain and simple. If you're complaining about this, just wait til you get to a university.
I 100% agree with the below comment,she is a great teacher, she gives TONS of examples ( which a lot of teachers do not take the time to do) to MAKE SURE that at the end of the day, if you don't get it is either two reasons... You were not paying attention or you need to change your major. If you have issues with this teacher change your major!!!
I agree with some of the other comments. She is incomprehensible, unclear and is either lacking in social skills or just doesn't care if she comes across as sarcastic and rude. Do not take her if you want to learn (or maintain a high GPA).
Excellent professor. As with any chem class, you need to put the effort into it and study. She is more than willing to help at any given time. She curves every test significantly to help us out. If you're looking for an easy A without putting any effort into it, don't take her. Take her only if you want to learn.
I did not enjoy her class at all. She doesnt like when students ask questions that might seem to be questioning her but I say how are we suppose to understand if you dont ask questions??? I mean for real come on! Also shes very hard to understand and tends to move very fast. I got very lost and confused. I WOULD NOT recommend taking her!
She started giving 10 pt extra credit worksheets after the first test. has her own website with all the power points, but she changes them and doesn't update the site before you print them. I think English is her second language so sometimes wording is weird. have to remember all formulas for tests, learned a lot, very challenging.
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER TAKE HER SHE DOESNT COVER MATERIAL PROPERLY AND GIVES EXAMINATION WITH MATERIAL NOT EVEN IN YOUR TEXT BOOK AND MIXES UP HER CLASSES AND DOES NOT DOCUMENT MATERIAL WHICH SHE TEACHES IN CLASSES
Excellent professor! Teaches you exactly what you need to know for her tests. There are no tricks, she won't put material on the test that she never went over. However, this is chemistry and it is hard material.
She is an extremely good teacher, if you are willing to learn and go to class. You need to study.
She is my favorite teacher, excellent, if u attend classes and pay attention, do your assignments u will def get a good grade, she is a great teacher, but does not like to be taken advantage off. I love the way she teaches, she is very clear and well prepared...she gives lots of extra credit and curves on exams. I highly reccomend her to everyone
TERRIBLE TEACHER!!!! I warn you now....dont take her! She really isnt into helping students in fact she gets annoyed when she has to explain when student ask question and she is very hard to understand! Plus she never has office hrs and rarely answers email! I would never take her again
WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. I am a straight A student. I did not pass her class. She does not have teaching skills, does not guide students, and is reluctant to answer questions. When she does, her answers make no sense at all. Her accent is hard to understand as well. I would not recommend taking her if you are a non-science major.
5 letters WORST!
DO NOT ADD!!!!!!! WORST !!!!!! If you added just drop her now....
Horrible!! This is the worst teacher I have ever had. She refuses to answer questions, she has a very heavy french accent. She teaches the class as if you have already taken it. I have a 4.0 & am almost failing her class. She does not allow you to audit. If you ask her a questions she tells you to go to tutoring. HORRIBLE!!!! DO NOT TAKE!!!
She is the Absolutely the best teacher at BCC.v I would take her for every class if i could. She knows her stuff and is very good with everyone that pays attention and wants to learn. If you are slacker you out of luck, she cant stand slackers.If You in to learn SHE IS THE BEST
This class was not my favorite.I was taking anatomy 1 and some other classes with it.This prof for sure knows her material,but she will not babysit you.I manage with an A on my final because I put my efforts for it.The book helps a lot and explains it better than her.Again this is college,not all professors will be kind.Easy grade,not in her class.
Very Rude, Worst Professor, No Social Skills
Prof Frankel is amazing. People who say bad things about her either don't follow her rules or don't get her sense of humor. She teaches the info well and her tests are not tricky at all, but you have to study hard, this is not an easy class. She answers emails quickly too. She is also a great lab teacher. Would definitely take her again.
This Professor is very knowledgeable about what she teaches. She responds emails quickly and will go out of her way and make the student understand the lesson after class or before class. You have to do your share of studying,like a student should. An A won't land on your lap. I will take her class again.
Worst teacher ever...Dont take her I repeat dont take her......I had 4.0 when I took her class she gave me my first C.
The people that are giving her negative comments are lazy or dont go to class. This isn't high school, so get off your phone and stop texting your girlfriend.
Prof Frankel is an excellent instructor. (not sure why all the neg. comments?) She presents the material clearly, concisely and thoroughly (even makes it interesting)..which is quite a feat for the subject material! Always available before class for help. Very pleasant demeanor.
Prof. Ewa Frankel is amazing!!! She will teach you chemistry very well. She is funny, organized,very helpful!!! Take her!!!:)
I WAS BETTER OFF TAKING THIS CLASS ONLINE. PROFESSOR READS THE TEXTBOOK TO US AND EXPECTS US TO GET IT. FINAL GRADE IS BASE ON TEST SCORES ONLY. LIKE PROF FRANKEL SAYS "IT IS WHAT IT IS."
This prof is awesome!!! Very helpful, organized, and she is NOT reading from the textbook!!!! Take her!!!
I just finished taking here for chm 1032. I would not recommend her to anyone. She says she's available for questions but hen you ask she says i don't have time for this go to the lrc. Her test are hard. I've never been a lazy student or one that doesn't study. I would have had better luck taking it online
Great teacher. Very helpful. Gives tons of examples, but you still have to study on your own. It you want a good grade then you have to work for it, but definitely worth it!
Teaches chemistry to make you understand. She stick to the rules!!
Prof. Frankle was great. At the beginning of the semester she explains her rules of the class which is not bad. She explain the work very well. She tells you what to study for the test. I enjoy being in her class and she was funny at times. Also she was very easy to take too. Prof. Frankle was excellent.
RUN AWAY! I am taking her right Now For 1045 and She is the worst professor I have ever taken in my entire life. She is not clear, doesn't know how to explain the material and half of the class doesn't understand her. I am a 4.0 gpa student and an honor society member and I always pass my classes with an A. If you want to fail this course take her
Do not grade Homework, even if you participate won't help you out, test are hard to understand, she make you think she will help you, but at the end will fail you. Horrible, professor do not take her if you do not want to lower your GPA.
She sets the expectations at the beginning of the class The exams can be challenging but she does go over what will be covered on the exams so if you take good notes and come to class and study you'll be fine. If you are taking chemistry for upper level courses she will make sure that you leave the class prepared for the next class.
The BEST Teacher I have ever had and I have had A LOT of teachers. I am an adult student with multiple degrees. Dr. Frankel will help you always. BE RESPECTFUL and KIND and she will be the same. I wish DR. Frankel taught all of my remaining classes needed. Come to class prepared, she goes fast and she knows EVERYTHING. I would take her again!
Great professor, Very strict with attendance but its all for a good cause. She will teach you everything you need to know and is willing to show you so that you understand. Very intelligent. I would take her again. Tests are difficult if you do not study but as long as you study and take good notes you will do fine.
I took this professor based off of other reviews on here and I am not quite sure how she has such a high rating. This professor was very short every time I reached out for help. She isn't too pleasant to talk to bc I was never sure what type of attitude I would get. She will tell you how much she wants you to pass and still end up failing you.
she isn't very nice... and doesn't give reviews before tests, Also I was failing badly in her class. honestly if you're not good in chemistry I would recommend you taking someone else. so far I took a different professor and passed with an A.
The class is tough, you have to study a lot. If you form a study group and do the homework ( not graded) and put the time in you will pass. She moves at a fast pace . No real reviews for the exams which I would have liked. I learned a lot. I would take her again but she doesn't teach other courses at Broward College at this time.
3 quizzes and a 250-word discussion post EVERY WEEK! If you cover all the content it would take about 20 hours each week. About 70% of what's on the tests and quizzes is covered in the course material and you basically just have to deal with guessing on 30%. Even if you bring this to the teachers attention it's still marked as a wrong answer. RUN!
This class is a basic overview of chemistry and does not go in depth into any topic. Just be sure to read every chapter of the online book and do every assignment/quiz/discussion and of course the 3 tests and you will get an A. She replies to every email so don't be afraid to ask questions. She really knows chemistry and cares about her students.
IF YOU VALUE YOUR GPA, THEN RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION. SHE IS ONE OF THE WORST PROFESSORS THAT I'VE EVER TAKEN. WHEN YOU ASK HER TO EXPLAIN HER ANSWER IS THERE'S TOO MANY CHAPTERS TO COVER AND NOT EVEN ENOUGHT TIME SO U HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF. BE READY TO TEACH YOURSELF OR FAIL MISERABLY! ANY OTHER TEACHER IS A BETTER CHOICE!!
She gave homework without checking it whether you are right or wrong. No class work. Only PowerPoint and note she does,and test. No review
She may be tough but listen to her lectures then you'll pass. She cares for her students
Her labs are easier than her lectures but she is very caring
The class was 8 weeks and very intense! Doing 2-4 chapters per week and having to do it for Proctored exams. Not sure if she is better in person but I would run from the online class.
Dr. Frankel does not play. Abide by her rules which she explains at the beginning of the class. Show up to every class early. She will not let you in if you are late. Turn in every assignment and study thoroughly for exams and you should get an A. She cares for her students but she is very serious about abiding by the rules in the lab setting.
Avoid her at all cost. Not worth my money. She gives no chances for anything. Questions are very tricky. Does not give extra points at all. The D2L is all over the place. AVOID HER.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY YOU WILL REGRET THE DECISION FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. TAKES THINGS PERSONAL. DOESN'T GIVE EXTRA CREDIT. LECTURES ARE NOT RELATED TO TESTS. OVERWHELMING CLASS. YOU WILL NOT LEARN BECAUSE THE CLASS IS SET UP TO MAKE YOU FAIL. DISORGANIZED. AND FROM WHAT I HEARD SHE WRITES HER OWN "GOOD REVIEWS".
There is no teaching in the lab, just do experiments. Difficult to prepare for exams. Homework scored but not really read or reviewed. I found my own mistakes when reviewing and studying. Says the tests are what's in the lab book but then are much more in depth. Lab is ahead of the lectures so it makes it very difficult. I would not recommend her.
Don't take her! She doesn't teach, gets defensive when asking questions. Tests are not from the lab book. Tests are difficult because info isn't given or taught. Lab is ahead of lectures if you are in both classes. Lab final was like a lecture final, not material from lab book. Very disappointed I spent time and studied, and it didn't help.
I study study study but test are impossibles. If you are new in chemistry DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Book is required. all exams are multiple choice and of course problems u need to resolve. She does not have study guides and that's so bad. terrible experience, my GPA went down
she is great, tell you how it is. you have to work pass.
Answers any questions about the course material. Genuinely wanted the class to learn and do well.
Online glitches with exams, had students purchase Knewton Software for $44 dollars but Knewton Modules are NOT a part of your final grade. I had to ask the professor halfway through the semester why I had to complete the Knewton Modules if they are not a part of the final grade, professor acknowledged modules are just extra practice/replace text
Inconsistent teacher, she grades bases on how she feel even if you get 100%. She made this class so STRESSFUL, I had a miscarry!!!! I regret taking this class on top of recieving a low grade!
EWA gives exams to early and the science department forced her to re-open the exam almost everyone got a low grade on. I got a 100 on a quiz and she put 90 in the grade book. She abuses her power and this class is easy. To many people were passing with A's so she changes the grade because that many passing grades is unrealistic for her & the school
first week of class had to read unit 1 & do the hw. I did the hw with the earliest due date not realizing it was for unit 2 not unit 1. I emailed her to let her know she had the wrong due date set for unit 2 and she quickly changed the due date and screen shotted the one with the correct due date and told me I wasn't supposed to be doing it. liar.
I absolutely DO NOT recommend this professor. Homework is never from course textbook and is not worth any points. She compiles too much material during the week for the upcoming tests. Virtually no extra credit is given out. Also, going to the bathroom is strictly prohibited during the test!! She belongs in a testing center, not the classroom.
Please don't ever take this professor! She never try's to work with you and is not caring at all. She really just makes you want to drop out of the course. I never complain or rate a professor, but this is seriously a horrible course to take with this professor. I've taken hard courses, but this tops the list. Too much homework for no reason...
She will not note the order of assignments, expect you to just know. Nothing in syllabus dictated that her lab assignments were in a different order than on the online lab portal. Seems like she just wants people to fail and waste money. I work and go to school and have kids, this is utter disrespect of my hard earned money and precious time.
Prof. Ewa Frankel is not a good professor. She does not answer your questions and tells you to look at your book. She does not explain things over and expects you to teach yourself. She is not a nice person. Does not let you use a laptop for note taking. Locks you out of class if you are even 2 minutes late and does not open door for 20-30 mins.
