The class is incredibly difficult, even with how helpful she is. The review packets are great and give you lots of chances to practice problems that are very similar to what's on the exam - also posts solutions. For us, she's dropping one quiz and one exam. All the exams are written, no MC, except the final which was about 1/2 MC, 1/2 written

the class IS hard, but that orgo1 for yea. The text book is terrible, use kleins book and the second language book instead. Fields is and incredible teacher, she really wants you to understand. only thing that sucks.... her curve isn't to huge.

The best orgo professor at USF in terms of caring about how her students do on the test. Orgo is hard regardless, but she tries to make it as simple as possible. Her review packets before the exam are key. Just do those and understand everything on there and you will do fine. Reading is a must, but its orgo so I wouldn't expect less.

Read the text SLOWLY and make mental notes (mnemonic devices are your friends). Study the review packets religiously. Fields is an exceptional professor who is the most dedicated instructor I have had at USF. Her effective and enjoyable teaching style left me giddy and excited for more chemistry classes!

best organic teacher to take she is very enthusiastic. Read chapters and be able to comprehend all concepts on the review packet. good teacher for organic chemistry

Great teacher. Really helpful and genuinely wants you to do good in the class. went to office hours, and studied the review packet and got an A-. Orgo is a hard class in general but she is a fantastic teacher.

I have only good things to say about Dr Fields. She's engaging, funny, very clear on what she expects out of students, and willing to help them get there. Organic chemistry is extremely challenging, and Dr Fields is extraordinarily supportive in helping students rise to that challenge. Get the David Klein supplemental books.

I'm not sure how it's possible that the person below me didn't get an A, because Dr. Fields follows a grading rubric that is very fair. Also, I don't know why people complain about her. She is the most caring teacher I've ever had. She loves teaching and loves Chemistry. Do her study guides, they are exactly like her tests, and you'll do fine.

Orgo II isn't easy PERIOD-I worked hard and learned lots for my A! Scan txt B4 class. Handwritten notes were ez to follow. Review packs (LONG) helped me to drill rxns for the exams. Klein rocked! ACS Final was tough-like GenChem. Dropping lowest exam, quiz, Wiley Qs, 5Q on final, and 60=C=pass is a big curve! Drop 2 more ACS Q = A+ 4 me tho:P

Dr. Fields is prehaps thee best professor I've had at USF thus far. She is dedicated to to her field but more importantly to her kids. Her email responses are timely and she also tries her best to assist kids after class. Trust me when I say that her exams are easy in comparison to others like Antilla. Do her reviews 50x if you have to.

I personally thought Fields was a great Organic professor. She is pretty goofy but she keeps lectures interesting. The ACS final she gives at the end definitely wasn't my favorite seeing as its cumulative. After having to drop orgo 2 in the fall and retake it with her I saw a huge difference in how well I was understanding the material.

Great professor. Simple, Orgo is not easy. Do her packet 4-5 times and you should be fine. For the ACS final, get the guide and I did twice. I recommend study groups. My HW was like 80%, quizzes ~60% yet I still got an A-. So A is achievable, but YOU NEED TO PRACTICE. She's down to earth and will answer all your questions.

Tests are difficult and long. She sometimes pushes lecture time about 10 mins after class. Sometimes tests are two weeks apart from one another. HW and clicker points help. She's kind and funny. Her grading scale is fluffed; 60% is a C; no curve. Orgo is hard, as her tests are, but she tries her best to be helpful and keep things interesting

In my personal opinion, Dr. Fields is a great professor. With orgo you have to put in at least 20 hours of studying a week (at least for me). The practice test helped out a lot, as long as you know that they are supplemental and NOT identical. If you do you're homework, never miss a class, and study ALOT, you'll be fine.

Great professor. Paves the way to an A, all you have to do is listen, take good notes, and practice (at least 20 hours a week). Learn all of the mechanisms, even if she says you don't have to (most important). Do all of these, and you should receive an A.

I found Fields to be a great professor for Organic.She is very willing to help and makes the material easier to understand.With Fields I ended the course with a B.She provides more than enough workshops, homework, and practice exams to be able to gauge how the exams will go. There is also a decent curve on the overall course.I highly recommend her.

Orgo is tough compared to GC. I wish there was more curve! Grade is 90% exams, but that's typical. Went to office hours, she was real helpful. Spent time to explain questions and provided examples until I understood. Go if you need help! Workshops are great for practice! REALLY wish I had more for Orgo II this term!:( Gonna miss her!

Dr. Fields is a great O-chem professor. You will have to work extremely hard, especially if you want to get an A. There will be times where that doesn't seem possible, but do those workshops and know them like the back of your hand. Ask questions, talk to your TA, Study and prioritize your coursework, attend always and answer clickers always.

This class was not as hard as the horror stories I've heard from other students. It isn't easy, but it is do-able. Don't skip or cram 4 exams; the course picks up about halfway through the semester; falling behind is bad news. When you do a reaction, little arrows need to be flying around in your head each time; simple memorization will backfire!

Dr. Fields is the BEST! Go to her office hours, she really puts in the effort there. Study hard, commit yourself to Second Language, and you will succeed. Good luck ya'll. You're gonna love this class

LOVED this teacher! She was very upbeat and expects a lot out of her students to study outside of class and be able to do practice problems. The teacher isn't the one that is bad, it's the students who don't try outside of class. The class is intense, don't think you are just going to get an A without hard work.

She is so quirky and odd, but I loved it! Most professors will just drone on about whatever, but she makes lecture fun by adding weird things like songs (O Quantum Tree, for example). She explained things very clearly too, and I highly recommend her as a professor. Lots of clicker questions, but they aren't too bad. Textbook helps too!

Took her spring. If you're a visual learner like me, take her!! She used balloons to show & explain the geometry of atoms. She tries to use jokes or put it in simpler terms that way we get it. Sometimes the jokes may not be funny, but seeing her laugh and be so enthusiastic about the subject is pretty contagious. Great, kind, & helpful professor!

Dr. Fields is a really enthusiastic teacher, hard to find one like her. Going to office hours helped me so incredibly much, she is extremely willing to help and very kind. You have to do the practice tests and read orgo as a second language to do well. I think the only reason people find it hard is because they don't study enough or pay attention.

welcome to hell should be the first line you read on her syllabus. In class the concept will look easy, but the test is very tricky. Her exam are like a laser that search for every little concept you forgot to master and before you know you have failed the exam. ORGANIC AS A SECOND LANGUAGE WILL BE YOUR BIBLE. may the grade be ever in your favor

Dr. Fields is a good professor but her tests are hard. Even though she gives you previous exams to study, the tests are usually 100% different. It's not difficult to get a C but plan to work hard for a B-or better.

Orgo is inherently hard and it only gets worse if you don't put in the effort to learn it. Memorization is not the key to the class. The amount of studying, reviewing, and practicing the material was pretty intimidating, but if you learn it early, then the rest of the class is easy. The textbook helped a lot too.

Dr. Fields is a good professor. While teaching she gives good information, and is very clear and specific. Though her tests don't cover all the material that you learn in class, which sometimes leads to wasted time studying. Overall a great professor though.

Whoever said that she can't teach Orgo 2 is wrong; she taught it incredibly well. She's got a great sense of humour and has very clear notes. She goes over every reaction mechanism that might be on the test, and it's not her fault that Orgo 2 just naturally has a lot in it. If you think there were tricks, then blame Nature for being tricky.

Dr. Fields was probably the best chemistry teach I've ever had at USF. I took her for Orgo 1 and 2 and did well in both. You need to put in a lot of work to do well. Incredibly easy to pull a A-B+ but hard to get the A. You will learn a lot, and if you get an A she'll likely write a good recommendation letter.

Dr. Fields is a wonderful professor. She posted old test and tons of practice questions which made preparing for the test easy. She gives some extra credit on the exams about 5 points on each test. Her lectures are hilarious and she doesnt mind going over stuff from Orgo 1 if you ask which was helpful since I had a lackluster professor for Orgo 1.

Tests are hard and I knew that going in.

I took CHM2045 at USF for the summer as a transient student. Prof Fields is hands down one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of being taught by. Her final exam was difficult, but all of her tests were fair. I wish she was a professor at my university!

I had the pleasure of taking Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 with Dr. Fields. Her lectures are very thorough, her notes are great, she is marathon happy to answer any questions, and she makes herself abundantly available for help. Her practice tests prepare you perfectly for her exams, so if you take the time to understand them thoroughly, you're fine.

I was successful in this class by preparing for lecture. Professor Fields cleared up anything I did not quite understand eith her creative lectures, amazing analogies, and helpful learning tools.

I was dreading this professor based on the negative reviews. But I found Dr. Fields to be funny to make concepts stick. You must study on your own. She gives you old exams. If you put the effort in (20 hrs/wk, you'll do well. Don't underestimate the difficulty based on Dr. Fields making it look easy. She prepares you the best for the ACS final.

Tests are hard, but if you do the practice tests and memorize mechanisms on the notes, you will be able to get an A. She is there for you when you need help and works her ass off. Orgo I is way easier with her than Orgo II. She uses clickers, but tells you the answers to all the questions.

Dr. Fields is amazing! She is very active and funny throughout her lecture. Her tests are not that hard if you put in the work. Would really like to take her again for Orgo II but unfortunately she is not teaching for Spring 2016. Clicker is pretty much free points. Her homework are fair but tedious.

Orgo in general is a tough class, but fields is really passionate about the subject which makes the class bearable. She's always willing to help her students, would definitely take her again!

Although professor Fields is very nice and entertaining in class, her tests are extremely difficult. Her tests are tricky and require tons of studying. Online homework is due almost every other week with at least 60 problems. Despite everything, if you study hard and prepare for her exams, you will pass.

Dr. Fields is pretty good at explaining things, but she does so with very little time left before the exams. Clickers are mandatory and you need the extra grade boosts with how hard her exams are. The first two exams are pretty easy, but the last two will kill your grade. Save your one exam drop for one of the last two exams.

Dr. Fields is probably one of the best professors for organic chemistry. She is funny and very helpful, especially if you go to her office hours! Her exams are just like her practice exams, so if you study those you'll do great! Overall, she is a great professor!

Had an A that went down to a B+ take my advice if you are great with keeping up with material, first two exams should be fine but exams 3 and 4 will really challenge you, one of these will definitely be your drop. Her teaching is great and fun, but the tests are no joke, Tests 1 and 2 are fine, 3 and 4 tough. Consistently has 4 exams per semester

the most amazing organic professor at USF. Dont listen to anyone that tells you not to take her. She helps you know orgo inside out. Tests are just like the prac. exams, just keep up with her notes. Its doable to get an A+, but takes a lot a practice. very helpful, drops a test, gives ex. credit. Go to class, dont miss out on her amazing lectures!

So many corny jokes but makes material very easy to remember. Tests can be unpredictable but she has given a very modest curve.

Best Professor I've had. Take the Exam Reviews seriously and pay attention.

Dr. Fields is fantastic. Really cares about her students and wants you to do well, but doesn't hand out A's easily. You need to really work for it but she's happy to give you all the help and resources you need to do so. Hilarious. Made sitting through a long lecture worth it because she kept you entertained. Wish she was teaching orgo 2!

Honestly the first couple days I thought she was a great professor. Then as the semester went on, I noticed my grades dropping. I was spending an excessive amount of time reading the book, instead of just looking at the notes. Just read the notes she gives. That's what the tests are based on. Great Professor.

Fields was a great professor. She explained the material very well. Some of her tests are super hard and almost everyone doesn't do well on them, but she does offer a ton of extra credit opportunities. Weekly quizzes in discussion that can definitely help your grade. Show up, pay attention, study really hard, and you'll do well.

Dr. Fields is an amazing professor! But keep in mind that that doesn't always mean the class is going to be a breeze. She teaches really well for sure, but Orgo is a course in which you HAVE to ALWAYS work hard to get a good grade. And Dr. Fields definitely makes Orgo easier to study. She provides more than enough study resources.

Dr. Fields is a professor that cares for her students tremendously. I will admit that she is tough with her exams but you will leave organic chemistry KNOWING the material. If you want to go to med school, TAKE HER CLASS. She will challenge you just like med schools will. If you can't perform in this class... Sips tea

I was scared of Fields because everyone said she was hard. I got an A+ in the class, she is the most helpful professor I've ever had. She's always willing to help, and she writes out notes in class with you. She gives plenty of practice exams that are just like the actual tests. The homework is tedious, and you do have to work to get a good grade.

Dr. Fields is always willing to help you. Although her tests may be tough, she really prepares you for upper level classes in the sense that she tests you on application, not memorization. She is easily one of the best professors in the chemistry department. I would say the only negative thing would be her responsiveness on emails.

I really appreciated Dr. Fields' style of teaching, because she went over reactions step by step showing the mechanism & explaining everything clearly. The exams might be tough, but it really prepared me for the ACS final. You might not appreciate her teaching now, but you will once you get to orgo II (I wish she taught that).

The class itself is meant to be hard considering all the memorization needed for mechanisms and nomenclature. However, Fields does her best to simplify the subject matter but she makes it look easy because she knows what to do. You need to practice to be as good as her and doing the practice exams helps a lot! An A is not impossible! Reapwhatyousow

She is a great teacher. I had her for Organic Chemistry 1, which is naturally already a tough course. Her tests are CRAZY hard, but they are doable with enough practice. She gives workshops that are very helpful. I plan on taking her for Orgo 2. If you take her, get ready to WORK!

By far the hardest class I've ever taken but it was worth taking Dr. Fields. It is a learning curve every week. Attend lecture, take notes, go over the workshops, go over the practice tests, and don't be afraid to ask for help. She gives you multiple resources for her students. Take time to study every week and you'll pass.

Great professor. Orgo I is not difficult, you just have to put the time in. Just put in 30 minutes before each lecture into studying and maybe an hour or two over the weekend and you'll get an A. Such a great professor I'm taking her for Orgo II

She's super sweet and caring. Also very funny. The class itself does take a lot of work but its not that bad. She usually throws some tricky stuff on her tests. There's a lot of homework but its better to work with multiple people. Do the extra credit on the homework because it helps your grade. A lot of people ignore it.

She is the best organic chemistry teacher. She gives you practice tests that are somewhat similar to the test. Do all the practice exams. You have lots of HW problems, a mechanism paper (if done with time, it is easy), and iclicker questions (tells you the answer). She drops one exam out 4 exams. If you put time to practice, you do well.

She really is not a good professor. Her lectures are mad confusing and she thinks everything is a joke. Her worksheets are way too long just like her exams and homework. AVOID

Orgo is hard, accept it. Field's doesn't sugar-coat it. Her exams are hard and there is a lot of homework but I have gotten A+ with her for Orgo I and II. Listen in lectures, go to her office hours/tutoring sessions (she literally has them every day) she wants to help. Put in time and effort and you are guaranteed success and a great letter of rec

I got an A+ in Orgo 1 and an A in Orgo 2. If you take her you will end up taking the ACS. My recommendation is to understand Orgo 1 super well, and you will do well on both Orgo 1 ACS and Orgo 2 ACS. My biggest piece of advice though? Go to lecture and use Clutch for Orgo 1. Realllyyy go to lecture for Orgo 2 and you'll be good. Put in the effort.

In a nutshell, Fields is amazing. It's easy to get frustrated with her because Orgo can be a difficult subject, but her course is really fair. Had her for Orgo 1 and 2, got an A+ in both. In my experience, she went ABOVE and beyond to make herself available for students. She wants you to do well. Also, she offers a plethora of extra credit.

If you can take her for Orgo. She teaches really well, got an A+ in orgo 2 with her, while I struggled for a B+ in orgo 1 with Raker. Gives lots of opportunity for extra points- do the EC because it really adds up! Makes lecture exciting and engaging. Favorite science teacher so far at USF. Teaches well, patient and kind.

I had her for Organic Chem 1 and 2. She has clear instructions on how to get an A and if you put in the time it is attainable. She gives good feedback and you can get help from her TAs all the time. She gives a lot of extra credit, but again, you have to be able to put the time in. It's a hard subject but she tries her best to make it entertaining.

Took her for both orgo 1+2 & received an A+ in both. Great lecturer (especially if you're a fan of lame jokes) & cares about the students. Gives previous exams out for students to study so you almost always know what to expect. HW can be time consuming so pace yourself. Her weekly workshop packets help a ton. Lots of extra credit ops.

Dr. Fields is a pretty good professor. She gives lots of practice exams that are very similar to the actual test. She also gives lots of extra credit, clicker questions, homework, and an easy project that really helps your grade. Was an easy A for me, highly recommended! She had low averages on some tests because she allows a drop test.

She is very knowledgable about organic chemistry. She cares alot about her students, however she gives easy examples in class and the exams have much harder questions. She gives out a TON of extra credit, drops a test, and grades on a curve so that is reason alone to take her. organic chemistry is a difficult subject no matter which prof you take

SHE IS A SAINT. No disrespect to the people discrediting her, but they probably didnt put in the effort that taking organic chemistry with ANY professor requires. She is super generous with grades, gives you all her old exams which mimic the tests to a tee, and she is super easy to contact in office hours. Take her. Best professor at USF.

Fields gives you everything you need to get an A. Do the weekly workshops, take the practice exams over and over again. Do the EC on Wiley, it provides a generous bonus. She gives a generous curve and drops your lowest quiz and lowest exam. Orgo is hard, but I've stuck with Fields for Orgo I and now have her for II

I took her for Orgo 1 and 2 and received A's. The key to getting an A in her class: do the practice exams, DO THE WORKSHOPS!, do every extra credit (extra 4%), the paper at the end is an easy 100% for a test bump, look over your exams during TA sections to get points back for misgraded questions. Orgo is hard, just know it gets easier past it

Dr. Fields has honestly been amazing. Organic chemistry is a difficult class as is, but Dr. Fields makes it very enjoyable. Sure there is work, but its organic chemistry, you have to put in some effort to do well. Go to class and go to office hours, those will be your best resources. Highly recommend taking Organic Chemistry with Dr. Fields

Gives you every chance to succeed, would definitely take again

The best way to survive is EXTRA CREDIT. Clickers point, survey point, project and Wiley plus (up to 200) helps a lot. Splitting Wiley hw with friends, doing the workshop & practice exams. No procrastinating. Keep up with her lecture & watching YouTube video. First exam is hard, but itll be dropped. Keep going because its easier on the next ones.

Ochem is A LOT of work, regardless of your professor. Fields offers office hours 4x a week, sometimes staying until 10pm for her students. She offers ample extra credit and tells you ALL clicker answers (easy 4%). She truly does want you to pass. Yes, you must know the material - but that's what you sign up for with Ochem. I highly recommend.

Her lectures can be overwhelming because she just talks and writes out reactions the entire time. She tries to make it enjoyable with jokes and fun facts. Her humor takes awhile to get used to but you'll enjoy the class more if you just roll with it. The tests are hard but there is a lot of EC to compensate for that. Do as much EC as you can!

ORGO IS HARD REGARDLESS. Shes really not bad at all. She handwrites notes with u in class so u can actually follow along. If she doesnt cover something, it wont be on the exam. Do her practice exams! She gives so much EC, my final grade went from an 85 to a 93. Orgo is hard but getting an A is totally doable. Taking her again for orgo 2!

Her class is hard but it's so easy to pass. I got an A+ and I only did well on one test (technically 2 but she 'accidentally' had the answer key on the hardest page of test 3) and the final and got an A+. She only tests on what she lectures, just beware the tuesday before since anything she mentions in passing WILL be on the exam for 10pts.

Excellent professor. Explains things in the most elementary way possible to make it easy to understand. Some people find her difficult, but I received a D the first time I took Organic 1 with Dr. Raker. She explained things much more explicitly and gives you a lot of opportunities for easy points and practice. I highly recommend taking her.

Her exams are extremely difficult. Do the homework and extra credit, trust me it will save your grade. If you ask her for help, she will drop everything and help you. She will stay with you as long as you need. Her class is hard but she is cares a lot about her students and if you are struggling, she will do everything she can to help you.

Although Fields isn't the best lecturer, she gives you all the information and tools you need to study on your own. If you wait until the last minute to study, you're obviously going to get a bad grade. She gives a lot of extra credit, which did help. The Wiley homework is not helpful and I stopped doing it halfway through the semester.

She has been one of my favorite professors for a science class. She has a passion and love for chemistry and it shows through her lectures; she keeps it light with jokes and always has a great attitude. Writes her notes as students copy which I appreciate. STUDY THE PRACTICE EXAMS AND DO THE E.C. WILEY!!!

I had Fields for both Orgo 1 and Orgo 2. I think that she is a great professor and cares about her students. Orgo is a difficult class no matter which professor you have. One thing I recommend is to do all of the Wiley you can because it can boost your final grade significantly. Also, attend the review sessions the day before exams, they do help!

Work hard in this class bc it's orgo. Ignore when people say she assigns a lot of homework, Wiley can suck but the extra credit is practically broken and if you do the problems you boost your grade and can test your theories on the material. She will stay until 2 am if you need her help, and is one of the most caring and brilliant teacher for orgo.

Dr Fields is probably the most enthusiastic and caring professor I have ever had. Orgo is a tough subject and I had her for 1 and 2. She puts so much of her own time and energy into making extra problems available. I have observed her stay in class answering student questions till 11 pm or later after teaching three classes in a row with no breaks.

I was hesitant to take this class with Dr. Fields, but it has turned out to be a great experience. She really cares about the success of her students and is extremely passionate about organic chemistry. Her lectures are definitely an acquired taste though and it is recommended to do some pre reading before class to get the most out of the lectures.

I had Fields for Orgo 1 and 2 and I received an A+ in both. She's a teacher that cares if her students are learning, not just passing. That means something to me. Sooo much extra practice was available from extra worksheets, extra credit, and a ton of suggested textbook problems. If you didn't succeed in this class that has nothing to do with her.

I was worried after hearing reviews about Dr. Feilds, but taking Orgo 2 with her was the best decision I made. This class is hard. You just have to put in the time to study, but she gives so much extra credit that it really helps your grade. She tries her hardest to make this class engaging, but just make sure to study a lot in your own time.

I have never came across a professor that cares so much about his/her students like Dr. Fields. She always posts weekly announcements that cover up everything from what is due to technical errors on an online assignment. She has an extremely positive attitude and shows so much enthusiasm during lectures. Gives a lot of opportunities for an A.

Anyone who leaves bad reviews on Fields, didn't go to office hours. she isn't a good lecture giver, but if you go to her office hours she will stay until the very last person leaves even if her office hours were over. I'm shocked at everyone saying she made it harder during the pandemic, she gave so much extra credit and 2nd attempts on the tests.

Although the subject is hard, Dr. Fields genuinely cares about the well being of her students. She understands how difficult orgo is to fully grasp so it helps knowing that she has been exactly where we were at one point. 10/10 would take her class again.

love my homegirl kimmy! on jah would take a bullet for this woman. Any other opinion is invalid.

Most understanding STEM professor, disagree wrong

Very good professor and actually cares about her students and teaching them. She is also very understanding and gave second chances multiple times when students needed it. Exams were pretty clear and not meant to trick you. Only thing is that you will have to set aside a lot of time for this class but its worth it for the grade.

I had her for both Orgo I and Orgo II. She is SUPER knowledgeable about the content and genuinely wants to help everyone learn and succeed. She is super nice and understanding, and doesn't make you feel stupid for not understanding or asking questions. Orgo is very hard, and you will have to work, but she is one of the best options you could get.

Dr Fields is a very caring, understanding professor and goes out of her way for her students benefit. Her lectures, while not overly engaging are clearly tailored to try to help students understand the material that is necessary. She is always accessible through online office hours on discord. Gave a lot of extra tries/ credit!

She is so passionate about Organic Chemistry and teaching it. She genuinely cares about her students and gives lots of opportunities to succeed. Her lecture videos may be lengthy and boring at times but if you practice the with the homework and worksheets, you'll do fine. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities!! She is the sweetest!

Dr. Fields is phenomenal and the most optimistic professor I have ever had. She will not give up on you no matter how long it takes you to understand a concept and she will explain it so many different ways until it clicks. She is so kind and understanding and no matter your grade you will finish having learned organic chemistry.

Guys, PLEASE take Dr. Fields! The class was flipped and I thought I would hate it, but I loved having her lectures always there. She went over tons of problems during class. Always responding to emails, discord etc. Worksheets for each week resembled quizzes, tons EC opportunity, she WANTS everyone to pass. Averages on exams were about 80%.

Dr. Field's cares so much about students I'm actually gonna miss having her for O chem! She was so accommodating when she was late to post lectures (she would keep the quizzes open the whole weekend) and when things happened during exams she would let everyone have a 2nd attempt. Hw is manageable, pay attention in class, do extra WILEY problems.

TAKE DR. FIELDS! She is so nice and caring and really wants to help her students. Her tests are not hard as long as you study and go to lecture. Anyone leaving bad comments didnt study enough or just doesnt understand chemistry.

At first I was apprehensive of taking a flipped class but I came enjoy it. The material was not bad. The HW, in class lectures, and ws were all very helpful. Dr. Fields is a caring professor and the class was very enjoyable.

Dr. fields was amazing. Orgo 2 was great with her and Im sad shell no longer be my professor anymore. Everything on the tests were things we were taught. She was extremely caring and understanding - especially with the pandemic. I feel blessed to have had her as my teacher.

Dr. Fields is the ABSOLUTE BEST PROFESSOR ever!! Organic chemistry II is challenging but she truly makes it fun and is so personable and kind. She is great at encouraging you to succeed and making you laugh. She is the sweetest lady ever, would 110% recommend her to anyone. Lots of extra credit to boost your grade percentage. Took class online.

Dr Fields is the most caring professor on the planet. She stays up til 2am or after for office hours just to make sure everyone understands. She is clear in all of her work and is a very fair teacher. I will miss organic chemistry because of her.

guys take Dr. Fields. she should have 5 stars on this site. I did all the practice, attended class, and studied to get an A+. She is fair and wants everyone to pass! I never thought I would miss orgo, but I will. Dr Fields made it my favorite subject. take her, you wont regret it. (she does EC too, weekly quizzes, and hw)

Dr. Fields is one of the nicest, understanding, and caring professors I've had. She truly cares about her students and wants them to do well. ORGO is difficult but she does her best to help with practices and making the exams somewhat fair. She also gave freebies and extra credit. Grades: group work, HW, clickers, quizzes, essay, exams, and final.

I have no idea why anyone would have anything bad to say about Dr. Fields. She helps give society's next organic chemists a superior foundation of carbon behavior. Understand electron behavior for mechanisms, know reagents practice Remember future chemist Electron rich(nucleophiles) attack electron deficient(electrophiles) Orbital changes.

Dr. Fields is very lovely in the sense of personality and her knowledge on the material. However, the flipped classroom style of teaching is a nightmare. The way this course is set up, if you're a slow learner like me, you hardly have time to learn the new material in between the exams.

She is extremely caring and really wants us to do well. You have to use all of the resources to get a good grade and really really try to learn. Organic chemistry is difficult but she gives us the easiest route to a good grade! It is hard to get a hold of her sometimes, but that's understandable with 500+ students.

Dr. Fields is actually super nice and meme-y but don't let that fool you into thinking this class is easy. Flipped learning is so very confusing and some lectures don't exactly help. The worksheets are nice and the quizzes are a carbon copy of them. Exams are super hard, just be ready to make the textbook your best friend when studying.

Dr. Fields is better than any other professor there was to choose from. She's incredibly nice, but be aware of the work... it's a lot. The exams are difficult so I suggest making the textbook your number 1 if lectures and worksheets aren't helpful. I love her personality and I would gladly take her again in a class that wasn't so difficult for me!

She was better in Orgo 2 than 1. The weight of the exams were less, but that meant more busy work. Gave extra credit on exams, but not guaranteed. Gave 2% on final grade if you did all the online practice exams. Exams were similar to the old written practice exams she uploads. Make sure to do that, learning objectives, and youll be fine.

Amazing professor who really cares for her students, funny and nice a very hard class. Does a great job explaining but a lot of time is needed to set aside like reviewing lectures and taking notes. What got me through this class which I recommend for everyone is to draw each mechanism step by step as you are learning the material.

The reviews describing the amount of coursework are true, it is a lot, but all the worksheets are completion grades as well as in-class clickers. In the end, she is teaching a very difficult course in itself (CHM 2211 and she provides tons of resources. Not the best at teaching but she tries hard to make everyone succeed and makes it fun at times.

Orgo II is a really tough class, but if you want a good professor to teach it, take Dr. Fields. Her flipped learning structure takes a while to get used to, but it allows her as much time as possible to help you and answer questions. Her class is tough, but she makes it a lot less painful. If you put in the work, she'll happily lend her help.

Dr. Fields is great, very knowledgeable and receptive to students' ideas and concerns. But the flipped learning doesn't work for organic chemistry (for me at least). The course has A LOT of work. You are expected to watch the lecture videos before class, online homework, weekly quizzes, weekly group work, and worksheets.

Dr. Fields was a pretty good organic chemistry teacher! She gave extra credit, all the groupwork was participation points, and she genuinely wants you to pass. She does flipped teaching which may not be for some, but I didn't even watch the lecture videos and still got a B- because she has SOOO many example problems. Great teacher!

It's a lot of work since it's flipped classroom, but the assignments given do not take much time to do and she always gives the answers at the end of class. You will do well in the course if you put effort into the worksheets. She was very flexible and took many of the students' suggestions into consideration. Very kind and understanding professor.

You need to show up to class with Dr.Fields but I will say, it was worth it. She has a flipped learning style that I felt worked for me. You had to watch lectures before class and then you did practice problems in class. This class does require a lot of studying but that is what happens when you're in orgo 2. She's incredibly sweet!

Dr. Fields is really caring about her students and take the students concerns into account as far as assignments go, the only thing I don't agree with is that there are a ton of assignments due multiple times a week and the tests are much more difficult than the work we do/learn in or outside of class. Overall though she is a good professor.

Fields is an amazing professor that cares about her students. She does do a flipped classroom and personally, this was not helpful for me. The hw and quizzes are unlimited attempts, and she offers EC that help boost your grade. The tests are hard; do practice problems from the book it will help. Good Luck you got this!!

There is a lot of homework in this class so make sure you take her with a lighter class load. Besides the sci lit project homework prepares you for tests. If you pay attention during the clickers, do the group work and watch the lecture videos you'll be ok.. There are lots of extra credit opportunities and tests are only 45 percent of the grade.

Orgo is of course not easy but it isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. She does flipped classroom but if the lecture videos are not your cup of tea, the textbook explains it well also. She gives a ton of extra credit and padding to your grade. I personally love her, did really well in her class, but her teaching style is not for everyone.

Fields provides a considerable amount of homework, worksheets, and quizzes, all of which are essentially completion grades. This provides structured and consistent practice which you need to succeed in orgo. Old exams are good references for what you'll be doing. However, she also does flipped learning, which you either hate or enjoy.

She gives a lot of coursework but it is all easy and she gives you most of the answers at the end of class. Lots of extra credit. Can fail every test and still pass the class with a B/C. You can contact her through email, canvas, or GroupMe. She is available from 8 am-1 am. She cares about her students. Highly recommend taking this class with her.

She is an interesting gal, but she really does care about your grade and gives lots of homework and extra credit opportunities to cushion your grade. You could do very average on the exams and still pass with an equally as average score. The final is multiple choice. just practice at least a little and do all the clicker questions in class.

She's a great professor; cares about your grade and gives lots of extra credit to help get a decent grade in the class. Orgo is a hard class so you still have to go the extra mile when studying but she gives us lots of resources that will help us prepare. Final was the hardest exam in my opinion, mostly application based.

Although her jokes can be somewhat grating, she is merciful for an organic chemistry professor. I failed the final and the last exam before the final and still got a B+ thanks to the massive amounts of padding through extra credit and homework. Genuinely as long as you try your best you will pass this class.

This class is a LOT of work, but it's doable if you stay on top of things. Flipped classroom, but take notes and pay attention - you'll be fine. TONS of extra credit and exams graded on a curve. Plenty of practice material and her discord help center is always active. There's no reason you shouldn't pass if you keep up with the workload.

Lots of work, flipped classroom but the lecture videos aren't necessary tbh. Class itself is kind of disorganized/hectic, she wastes time making jokes, but you definitely have the resources to pass this class with an A if you put effort in. Lots of extra credit and the in class worksheets, powerpoint notes, and practice exams are good resources!

Good class

Dr. Bliss-Roche (Formerly Dr. Fields) is great at teaching Orgo 2. She gives lots of extra credit and it is a flipped classroom so be ready to watch many videos. During class, she does clicker practice which is good for the exams. The exams are fair and there are a lot of hw and assignments to complete but it is great practice. Hard not to get an A

Dr. Fields is incredibly kind and really wants her students to succeed in her class. Personally, I don't mind a flipped classroom. However, her recorded lectures weren't my favorite, and I know that some of my classmates struggled with them. Despite this, she offers her students so many resources to study for exams with endless practice problems.

Fields is a great teacher for one of the hardest classes in Chemistry. This class is difficult and the material is lengthy, but she is the best teacher for the job. hands down.

I don't get the bad reviews. OChem is tough, but if you study, use resources like tutoring and office hours, you'll be fine. I'm not a great test taker, and still did well. She's fair, does lots of practice problems, and offers a ton of extra credit. Yes, you do have to teach yourself a bit, but that's OChem. Great professor!
