I took her CHEM 215 course in my last year because I honestly had a fear of how difficult it could be from a previous CHEM class I took with a terrible instructor. As it turns out, my fear was misplaced, and the more I participated the more confident I became in the material I was learning. Prof. Friedland is by far one of the best Prof. at NYIT.

Honestly the best professor I've ever had. She spoon feeds you the information and the quizzes help you to understand the material. She provides you with so many opportunities to get extra help outside of the classroom too. Would take her many times over

Professor Friendland was a extremely friendly and personable. If you feel like you are falling behind ask her to go to office hours and she will get you caught right back up. There is also extra credit which I would take every opportunity you can to get. Great experience and would totally take the class again wouldn't change anything

Professor Friedland is one of the best professors i've had by far. She is very clear and concise when it comes to teaching, and gets her students very prepared for quizzes and tests.
