A genuinely nice professor. Her tests can be difficult... It is organic chemistry. She is still new here and I believe working on her teaching style. If you spend extra time and put in an effort, Professor Mathews will reciprocate and do her best to help you do well. A really great woman, and I believe a great teacher.

A great professor, very reaching out to all the students. Reviewing the materials every day is crucial as cramming a day before the exam wont gurantee you an A. After all...no matter how easy and reaching out the professor is, the course taught is Organic Chemistry.

The classis made pretty easy for you. She doesn't blindside you on the test, either. Just tests on basic concepts in very uncomplicated ways. Doesn't make you memorize mechanisms, either, just predict the product given two reactants. You can either go to her class, or read the textbook, but either way the test is an easy A. Helpful when asked, too.

One of the good teachers out there. She listens to each student and also goes out of her way to help explain difficult concepts such as NMR. I was expecting an easier class reading reviews from last semester, but definitely do not think so. Prof. Mathews makes Orgo 2 easy to understand and digest! Make sure to attend class and esp. review sessions.

I learned a lot. Great teacher.

Professor Mathews was awesome. She delivered the information clearly and made it clear what to study for the test. She makes herself available for extra help and does not try to "trick" you on exams. Organic Chem requires studying and understanding the mechanisms. Basically if you STUDY and ATTEND OFFICE HOURS, an A+ should come easy.

She is really kind and nice professor, just Orgo is though.

She's pretty awesome. Missing lectures makes things difficult, she goes over almost all of the reactions that will be on the exam. When taking the exam, if you're confused, ASK HER A QUESTION!

Amazing professor. Clearly cares about her students and will essentially tell you exactly what is on the exam in the lecture. Do not let the bad comments scare you; if you notice, none of them reported their grade. Organic chemistry is hard, but if you read and go to the lectures, she will make sure you do well. 100% would recommend to others.

Professor Matthews explains everything very easily, and is ready to answer your questions. She is very approachable and nice, which makes questions so much easier. She also tries very hard to relate the material to the real world, so you get to understand why what you're learning is relevant.

Not a great professor, she treats students like they are still in high school. Rather than ask about concepts on the test, she prefers to assess how well you memorized her class notes. Overall I would suggest one of the other professors.

PROF MATHEWS IS AWESOME! She genuinely wants her students to do well and is very approachable and is always willing to answer questions about the material. As long as you come to class, follow along with her practice problems, and do the textbook hw she assigns, you will do great in the class! Plus, her accent is adorable:)

Very good teacher. Really cared about everyone understanding the class.

You will definitely have to work in her class however as long a you attend lecture, do the homework, knock out a couple of practice problems, and go to office hours and recitations (not as bad as it sounds trust me) Then expect an A in her class. Good luck !

Professor Mathews is probably my favorite professor I have had at Northeastern so far. She is no nonsense but can also be a really funny person during lectures. She definitely cares about her students and wants them all to do well; she never tries to trick us on tests and is always very clear about what information will be on the exams.

Mathews is a great professor. She is very clear about what you will see on her exams. Her PowerPoints and boardwork are very helpful and you won't need to read the book if you go to every class and take great notes. You need to put in a lot of work on your own time (reviewing/doing assigned homework).

This course is very informative and fair. Mathews is an amazing professor and she teaches organic chemistry very well. The only way you can fail is unless you don't pay attention in class and/or don't do practice problems/study. Literally show up to class and study and you'll be solid. Good luck. A+ Recommendation !!

Dr. Mathews is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is extremely clear and tells you what you need to know. Going into Orgo I was definitely worried, but she makes it accessible. In my experience, doing the homework and going to class is essential for doing well on exams, and tutoring is also a great way to reinforce material.

Jude was so sweet. This was the hardest I have worked for a class but it was worth it. Studying hard is so worth it because you will ace the tests.

People advised me to take Mathews. At first I thought that was a bunch of bull because she's not a good lecturer, but she makes up for it through practice problems and the straightforwardness of her exams. She goes through every type of problem you need to know and if you put in the work you'll do well on her tests. Will be taking her again for 2.

Mathews is the most accessible Orgo professor at Northeastern. She clearly states what's going to be on the tests and is extremely helpful outside of lecture. Keep all the notes from Orgo 1 because Orgo 2 is almost a repeat of Orgo 1 and it will help you so much the second semester of Orgo. I would only recommend Mathews to other pre med students

Dr. Mathews is honestly one of the most straight forward and reasonable professors. Orgo II was a breeze because of her. She explains EVERYTHING extensively and gives a TON of review problems. Just do the bare minimum and you'll do great. What a sweet lady! If you care about your GPA and want an A take mathews for orgo!

Jude is honestly one of the best professors at Northeastern. She is very clear from the beginning what she expects from her students. Her exams are no surprise, so if you pay attention in class you will do well. She can be tough at times and seems difficult, but all she really wants is her students to do well. 11/10 would recommend

Do not take orgo with anyone else besides her!! She's amazing and cares so much about her students. I wish she could teach all of my classes because she really made one of the supposedly worst pre med classes, a breeze. Make sure you go to her lectures and her office hours and you'll be all set

Professor Mathews is the best orgo professor! She does multiple days of review before the exam and tries her best to make sure everyone is well prepared. If you come to class and do all the homework you will do well.

She is one of the best professors in my experience. She makes orgo so easy. If you just pay attention and do her homework there is nothing to worry about.

Best orgo professor. I love Jude. Her lectures are awesome compared to other orgo professors and her tests actually reflect what was taught in class. She is knowledgable and understanding. If you put in the time, you will get a good grade. I would def take her class again if I have the chance.

Great professor that cares incredibly for her students.

One of the best profs at Northeastern. Organic chemistry is hard so yeah you have to do work but her lectures are fantastic and she makes it pretty clear what you have to do for the tests. Hoping to have her next semester, would take again.

Organic chemistry is a very demanding course that requires a lot of work to be put in outside of class. Given that, however, Prof. Mathews really tries to help you understand the concepts behind orgo and just wants to see her students succeed. She's funny and caring and will try her best to answer any chemistry question you have. HIGHLY recommend!!

Professor Mathews is the best professor I've ever had! She cares about her students and genuinely wants them to do well. If you come to class and do the homework you will be more than prepared for the exams - she does lots of review! She's easily accessible and takes the time to answer your questions. She makes Orgo interesting and enjoyable.

Jude Mathews is hands down one of the best professors at Northeastern. She can come off as stern and unapproachable, but once you get to know her she is very funny and extremely caring for her students. If you respect her, she'll respect you. Attendance is not mandatory but going to lectures will definitely help, along with doing textbook problems.

Make sure you sign that last page on your syllabus for the first day of class. Mathews is definitely the best orgo prof and explains everything the most, but still a very difficult class. However, she always tells us what's going to be on the test. As long as you do the textbook practice problems and really listen in class it's not too bad.

Jude is super caring for her students. She can come off as harsh & blunt, but if you treat her with respect she'll respect you. Provides slides for each lecture, reviews them in class, does practice problems, & assigns nonmandatory problems from textbook for hw. Tests are all multiple choice, but you def have to study a lot in order to do well.

Dr. Mathews is the best Chem prof I've had. She knows her subject very well and will go to great lengths to make you understand. Don't miss her lectures as she tells you the important parts and explains very well. Study hard because its orgo but if you follow her instructions to the T you will get an A.

Her exams are multiple choice, and in class, she goes over mechanisms and types of questions she would ask many times. Take her for orgo 1 would give you a really good orgo foundation. She cares about her students deeply and that they really understand what's going on. If you do the textbook problems and listen in lecture you'll be just fine.

Professor Mathews is the best professor I've had at NEU! She tells students what is on the test and spends multiple days doing practice problems ahead of time. She tries to make the material understandable for all. If you talk to her she will help you a lot! Don't be scared by her syllabus - she is the nicest professor!

One of the best professors I've ever had. Very funny and nice. Incredibly effective teaching.

Professor Mathews is the best professor I've had. She is caring and wants her students to do well. She will spend significant time making sure you understand the material. Keeping up with the book homework helps a lot, but she also spends 1-2 days before the exam doing practice problems that are very similar to exam questions.

She is amazing. She tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams, which makes studying a lot less stressful. She makes sure to provide plenty of examples during lecture. Also, don't be scared by the syllabus, she is actually a very kind and approachable professor.

The only reason she would ever get low ratings is because students didn't put in the necessary work. This is Organic Chemistry; it takes work. But, if you are willing to put in the studying outside of class and attend the lectures, there is no better professor. Her teaching style is incredibly effective and she's so passionate about teaching. 11/10

Had for both Orgo 1 & 2, Spring 2020 (half online) & Fall 2020 (100% online). Jude's in-class practice problems are rly helpful, and she & her TA's are very good at explaining. If ur a slow learner like me, learn how to take textbook notes quickly, do all practice problems, & go to recitations! PS there's ZERO math so I enjoyed more than HS chem

She can be tough and intimidating, but all in all she's really helpful and tells you specifically what you need to know for tests. Definitely ask her questions if you're confused and go to class. Just don't ask her about the curve (but she keeps it secret which is kinda stressful) or when office hours are (look in the syllabus) and you'll be fine.

When I tell you, she is an ABSOLUTE GEM. If you have the honor and luck of getting into her class, you will get the best education Northeastern offers. Yes, her lectures may be fast, but that's just when she goes over slides. She then goes over reactions EXTENSIVELY herself. Also, dont be afraid to ask questions, she WANTS people to ask and engage

She's a great teacher and her exams are moderately difficult and are multiple choice. Going to class is essential to understand the material. She goes over problems in class that are like what you see on the exams.

Professor Mathews is very organized and tells you exactly what you need to do in order to do well in the class. It is hard, but if you read the textbook sections that she assigns and do the problems you will do well.

THE BEST. Tells you exactly what is/isn't on exams, does practice problems exactly like the exam, gives freebie questions on exams. MUST read the textbook, watch her lectures, and do HER practice problems (don't really need to do the book ones) to do well. Advice: print out her powerpoints and annotate them during lectures. I love this professor.

Prof Mathews is one of the best professor at Northeastern. She works incredibly hard and if you go to her OH and email her with your questions she will promptly answer. She also cares alot about her students. Orgo is hard, but she makes is easier to understand. If you do the textbook problems and follow what she says you will do well!

Professor Mathews is the best. Orgo is hard, but attend lectures and OH, do practice problems, and study hard, and you will do fine!

Professor Mathews is the best professor you can have for organic chemistry, hands down. She really wants everyone to do well. She's speeds through lectures, but she does a LOT of practice and is super available outside of class. Go to class, review all the notes, and do the homework. You'll do great.

Professor Mathews was a really good organic chemistry professor. She tells you exactly what you need for the exam and it's up to you to put in the work and do the extra problems. She's fair and wants you to get a good grade. Be sure to go to the lectures where she reviews because she goes through a bunch of practice problems that help on the exam.

Mathews is amazing! If you go to her lectures and office hours, she tells you everything you must know the exam, and if you do the textbook problems as well, you should definitely get an A in the class. She is not trying to trick you and is always available to help.

Possibly my most favorite professor -- very good at explaining difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way, and very clear about what you are expected to know for the exam. Spends a lot of time teaching the material as well as going over many practice problems. Always willing to answer questions in and out of class. Office hours are great!!!!

Mathews is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. Her class is based on three exams and the final (each 25%) but the exams are very doable and she tells you exactly what will be on them in office hours and class. If you do the homework problems she recommends, read the textbook, and go to class, youll do really well!

Had her for orgo 1 and 2. 4 exams, all multiple choice. Prof Mathews is such a gem and makes a super difficult subject very understandable. Always tells you what to expect for the exam, and never tries to trick you. As long as you put in the work outside class and GO TO REVIEW SESSIONS, you'll do fine.

Amazing Professor!! She is so caring, fair, and understanding. She has a lot of students, but is always willing to help when she can. She can come off as abrasive sometimes, but means the best. Also, her lecturing style takes time to get used to, but she breaks down all concepts in a digestible way. Put in the work, and you will definitely do well.

Prof. Mathews is amazing. She explains everything so well, and if you put in the time outside of class you'll do well in this class and actually UNDERSTAND orgo. Don't be intimidated by her syllabus, she's really nice and considerate. She holds a lot of office hours, but make sure to show up at the beginning of them because a lot of people attend.

Professor Mathews is an amazing professor with a great understanding of chemistry. She can be a little rude or condescending at times but she is just one of those professors who will not give out undeserved compliments. If you keep up on the readings and textbook questions in this class it is very easy to get an A.

mathews is awesome- DO NOT TAKE ORGO WITH ANYBODY ELSE!!! Exams are straightforward and she tells you exactly what you need to know. She is very straightforward and blunt, which can be off-putting at first, but she really cares about her students and wants you to well. As long as you put in the work, you will get an A.

Mathews is a great professor, she genuinely cares about facilitating her students' success and it's clear through the sheer amount of learning resources she provides. She really knows what she's doing and I highly recommend everyone to take her if they have the chance.

Her syllabus is very intimidating, but she's a great professor. Entire grade is mostly exams, but she's very clear about the content that will be on each exam and it's not difficult to do well in the course as long as you attend lecture. If you're taking orgo, you definitely need to take it with Mathews.

Best professor I have ever had. Amazing lecturer and makes concepts easy to understand. Exams are always reasonable. Took both Orgo 1 and 2 with her and had great experiences. Jude Mathews is the best.

Jude Mathews is the best professor I have ever had. Orgo is very difficult, but she makes concepts easy to understand. I had her for Orgo 1 and 2 and can not recommend her enough.

Prof Mathews is an awesome lecturer. If you go to class, she will tell you exactly what you need to know for the tests. Orgo is hard no matter what prof you have. Make sure to read the textbook and do practice problems!

She teaches orgo - it's a hard class. However, I feel that she explained the material clearly and concisely as well as outlined every possible combination of tools any student could need to succeed in her class. She told us that studying orgo could be like taking a part-time job, and she's right; but, if you put the time in, you'll do great!

Professor Mathews' lectures were very informative and they provided us with almost everything we would need for quizzes and exams, which were multiple choice (very helpful for an organic chemistry course). That being said, she came off as passive-aggressive at times and was not very responsive to email. Despite this, I really enjoyed her class.

I highly recommend Professor Mathews. Her tests are fair as long as you do the textbook problems and don't fall behind. The only outside assignments are quizzes which boost your grade. If you put in the work, you will do very well in her class.

Matthews is a great prof/very knowledgeable. A lot of learning is independent though. Be prepared to read the textbook and study long hours to get an A.

Professor Mathews is a great teacher! Orgo 1 and 2 are quite easy if you do the HOMEWORK (this is the best simulation for test questions, and lots of questions on the exams come straight from the homework). Sometimes errors on exams with typos and incorrect keys on Gradescope occurred, but she fixes the problems if you reach out.

I'm 2 days into Orgo 2 with Brian Fulton, and I already miss Jude. She is an excellent lecturer, especially considering the difficult concepts covered in Orgo. She very clearly says what will be on exams, and stars those topics in her slides so you can go back while studying. However, make sure you do the textbook problems if you want a good grade.

Really great teacher and knows her stuff well. Makes sure you know what is going to be on the test

Professor Mathews is amazing! I had her for Orgo 1 and Orgo 2. She was so accommodating and wanted me to succeed. She did everything she could do to help me, from recommending tutors to going over problems with me. Take advantage of her office hours and emailing her with questions.

I feel lucky to have had her for both orgo1/ 2. Obviously organic chemistry is going to be difficult but she gives you absolutely everything you need to succeed. She basically tells you every single question question on the exams you just need to listen. Make every possible effort to have her in your schedule you will not be sorry! Super funny also

Professor Matthews is a genuinely nice person who will do everything possible to give you an A if you show up and try. She gets a bad rap for being mean and unapproachable but she actually cares if you bother to actually try and show her you care about your grade and don't just want a handout. Plus you'll actually learn the material well.

jude is witty and passionate about orgo. she sets high expectations from day one and will give supplemental material for you to understand the concepts. she's tough but she also is fair/deeply cares about her students. go to every lecture and do lots of practice to cement those ideals into your head! if you're willing to put in the work, take her.

She was absolutely the best professor I have had at Northeastern. Super understanding and super flexible towards her students. Has a big heart and will lend a helping hand if needed. Please take organic chemistry with her, you will have a great experience.

Professor Mathews is one of the best professors I've ever had. She understands that Orgo is hard and will do anything to help you succeed. You will master the material with her help. She has a rep. for being tough and mean, but she's anything but that. I wish every professor were like her!

Took Matthews for Orgo 1 & 2. Her lectures lead directly to her tests. Her exams are fair, and she lectures well/understandably. Her class requires work in understanding the material and reviewing problems, but I would say she's NEU's best Orgo Prof. Her organization on canvas is consistent and easy to follow. If you're taking Orgo, she's the one.

I think Mathews is as fair as it gets for orgo. Her exams are multiple choice (worth 80% of grade) and are very resemblant to in class examples and lecture notes. Mathews herself is obviously very knowledgeable but spends probably 1/4 of every class making weird passive aggressive comments. If you put in the work you will do just fine.

Knows that orgo is tough but gives you all the resources necessary to succeed. Don't expect to do well if you don't spend hours studying every week. Exams worth 80% and are all multiple choice. Passive aggressive and complains about the students at Northeastern but she's valid and funny.

Mathews was a pretty good professor. Her outlook on lecture was to review the textbook portion that we were supposed to have already read before class. This teaching style wasn't great for me because I don't learn well from textbooks. Her lectures review what you should know but don't go deep enough for her exams. Overall, decent class.

Her class was hard, but I'm sure that all sections of organic chemistry are hard. As a professor, I think she is amazing. She is funny, but most importantly, she really cares about the students who work hard, and she will do everything to help them do well in the class. Study long hours, and you will succeed.

She made orgo my favorite class and I'm lucky enough to have her for orgo 2. She is very clear about what she expects. You have to put in the time but if you show up to class and listen to her, you will do well. Lectures are very organized. Can't stress enough how great she is.

I think she is a GREAT teacher. She knows her stuff and explains things well but can be a bit unfair at times. I had multiple friends in the class get points added to tests for no reason while other friends didn't get any points added. Her tests are multiple-choice and can be difficult.

She keeps it very real. Her class can be difficult, but she is the last reason why. If you attend her lectures, she will practically tell you exactly what's on the test. She tells you what to study, what not to study, and how to study. Content is very clear, and the textbook is very helpful. Anybody can get an A in her class.

I enjoyed having Professor Mathews, and she really knows her stuff. Attending lecture and starting everything early will be key for success. She can be a bit harsh, but if you are respectful and show your attention to her lectures (which are helpful) she will be a delight. She is one of the best in the chem department, so try and take her courses.

Take her....The only people who don't like her are the ones that didn't study or procrastinated a lot.

Prof. Matthews can be harsh at times, but she's overall a good professor. She's very clear about what you need to know for the test, but you just have to be willing to put in the time to do practice problems in the textbook.

Professor Mathews is great. For reference, I took her orgo 1 and 2. She tells you exactly what will be on the test the days before when she does white board. Go to class and take notes and pay attention on white board days and do/go over textbook homework daily. For me, I still had to study outside of class for 7 hours/w but it was a very doable A.

Tests worth 80%, hw worth 20%. Easy to do well if you put in the work and consistently review the textbook/her lecture notes, especially the whiteboard. Tells you what's on the exam beforehand and gives freebie points on the exams. Attending class is essential for doing well. Great professor.

Mathews is the GOAT. She makes orgo so easy. She tells you exactly what is gonna be on the test in pieces in each of her lectures. If you go to class and do all the homework she give, you'll be set. She is not the best at being understanding and answering questions, so save them for the TAs, but other than that she is the best. Super chill.

GOATed professor. 11/10 Mathews all the way.

This is what every professor should be like. Jude is clear, and concise and wants people to do well. She is very intelligent but most importantly she can communicate that intelligence.

Jude is a Baddie! She is a good lecturer and makes class engaging and fun. I love going to her class; she is very clear on what will be on the test and what the expectations for class are. She is the best professor I've had at Northeastern and would recommend.

Tough class, but Professor Mathews knows her stuff. Attend lectures, use the textbook, and try unstuck study for extra prep - it really helped me succeed.

Jude is truly a wonderful professor. Many people don't like her, but that is because they don't put a full effort into Orgo. Doing well in Orgo takes more work than you expect. Put in the work. Go to office hours, even if you have to wait or are intimidated. Get to know her, and continue to show an effort, even when it is hard. You will be okay.

This is a knowledgeable and amazing professor. Not only is she super smart but she can communicate. she gives you all the necessary materials to do well in her class. love her

Jude may act like she's tired of dealing with students, she really does care about us and the topic. Although our grades are based largely on 4 hard 20 question tests and fairly simple homework assignments, she ended up giving us a couple of questions back on the final. It wasn't an easy class, but if you're willing to work hard, you'll do well.

Orgo is a difficult class already, If you're not willing to put in the work, you will fail. If you show up, do the homework, ask questions, and read the book you will be just fine. Mathews gives fair exams; they are NOT THAT BAD. She is willing to give you all the help you need, but you have to be proactive and ask for it.

Dr. Mathews isn't the most approachable person; however if you want to learn and succeed in orgo, I would recommend her. She is great at explaining and lectures on the main topics of each chapter as we aren't chem majors. Attendance isn't mandatory but still go, she tells everyone that attends what exactly is on the exam. Great professor.

She is a great teacher. She clearly outlines what's on the test, and sometimes, she even gives free answers during the exam. She is very nice, but make sure you avoid asking questions like "change my grade" cause she will do the complete opposite (I didn't do it, lol). But yeah, take her, she's great.

Professor Mathews is AMAZING! She somehow finds a way to explain complex topics more easily. She makes videos too, which you can go back and watch. Her exams are very fair, and she does practice problems in class. If you put in the time, do the homework, and don't skip class, obtaining an A/B is feasible.

Read the textbook and show up to class. Orgo isnt that difficult if u put in the work and don't get behind. Matthews isn't gonna hold ur hand and teach u everything 1 on 1- u need to put in effort outside of class. She tests ur ability to think critically so if u can't learn from her... might be more of a reflection on you

She knows her stuff. Would take more classes with her again. Super knowledgeable and helps her students if you have questions.

She is amazing! She has no bs kinda thing and she grades very fairly.

She is the best professor at Northeastern. If you want to understand orgo 2 take this class.

I am not great at orgo but matthews pushed me to think about these topic from a new perspective. The white board practice days are so helpful and test content is similar to things done in class. Test all multiple choice, some homework. Compelling and respected professor.

ORGO IS HARD NO MATTER WHAT. But Jude is by far the best teacher you could ask for. You are garunteed an A- if you attend the lectures and do the assigned problems and readings.

dr. mathews may come off as intimidating, but she is one of the most caring professors at northeastern. she gives free questions on exams, which are all mcq. i struggle with organic chemistry and i didn't have her for orgo 1, but as long as you read the textbook and do the homework questions you should be fine.

Mathews is the best. If you go to class, review her slides and make flashcards, read the textbook, do your Achieve HW early & practice problems from the textbook, and show up to her office hours (NOT ON EXAM WEEKS!!!!), then you will do well. Take it from me who didn't remember a single thing from Orgo 1 lol. She's super smart and so funny. Queen
