Good teacher overall. She switches off between using PPT and using hand-written notes. When she is using notes, she is great. When she is using PPT, she can be hard to follow.

She will give points back if you prove your point and she reuses questions for the final. She rounds up homework and there is a 10% curve (e.g. 80-100=A, 70-79=B, etc.) I wish she was teaching 128B!

I truly hate chemistry but she made it so much more endurable and made it easier for me to understand the material. She is such an awesome and sweet professor. Material is kind of hard but if you go to her lectures and pay attention youll pass. She will work with you and honestly cares about her students.

4 exams, each with a study guide. one final, no study guide. Lecture heavy on powerpoints. Worksheets given in class randomly for participation/attendance credit. Go to SI or her office hours as needed for additional help. This is a chemistry class and will NOT come easy if you do not study.

Chem 128B is a very though course, but Dr. Fellows broke it down to make it not too though. There are so many reactions and she focuses a lot on synthesis. Her notes are handwritten, she only uses PowerPoint for the first 2 chapters, so you need to attend lecture. She also lectures very fast. Study guides are given for exams and quizzes.

The NSCI4 class is an interesting and easy class, I definitely recommend taking it if you are able to for GE requirements. The class is easy, 1500 word paper, and 1 group presentation along with some other small in-class assignments. She grades according to the rubric she gives you and responds quickly through email. The textbook is not required.

took chem in HS, I can honestly say HS chem was much harder for me. Dr. Fellows did 5 multiple chose exams no quizzes. I'm sure it was written it would be much difficult. Overall , if you don't read before class or study before your exam you won't do good. READ the book before lecture! Go to SI if you need extra help, you will see the difference.

Dr. Fellows was a great professor, however, chem 3a in general is just difficult. I have nothing against her, for she did her best to explain the modules to us. I highly recommend reading the course materials before lecture because the will make you better prepared for the class. Take this class in a semester where your other classes are easier.

Dr. Fellows made O-Chem very manageable and enjoyable. You are required to read the book chapter before coming to lecture, and for good reason. Dr. Fellows gave very clear guidelines on how to succeed in her class on the first day. As long as you read the chapter and do the practice problems she recommends, you will receive a good grade.

I failed the class but that's because I didn't put in the time to learn. It's a very intricate subject and this is probably the best Chem 128A teacher just because she tells you EXACTLY what will be on the quizzes and tests. Like EXACTLY, so it's almost like if you fail, it's your fault (which it was in my case). But yeah, that's the best perk tbh!

You will not regret Dr. Fellows for ochem. HIGHLY REC! Her teaching style truly helped me learn ochem. She didn't just throw examples at us during lecture like the other profs here like to resort to. She actually goes through the slides with careful explanation. If I could have had her as my teacher for 128B + the lab sections, I would have!

If I could go back in a time machine when I was picking my professor for ochem, it would not be fellows. You are graded based off exams and if just have a hard time or bad day with that specific topic(s), YOUR grade will drop and it's going to stay at that low grade. Feel like other students in other ochem I sections had better grades/knowledge.

Professor Fellows changed how she usually formats her class for this, as exams were worth 95% of your grade. If you are not a good test taker, do not take this class with the current formatting. Study guides helped prepare for exams, go to office hours, and do textbook practice problems. SI helped a lot, but you will have to WORK HARD to pass.
