She is an excellent professor. She even makes learning chemistry fun. We do fun projects almost every week and she gives prizes to motivate us. I hope that she teaches next semester.
She is so sweet. We love her. Everyone should have her.
The best professor at NYIT makes a hard subject lik chem seem easy and fun higly recommend taking her!!!
Great professor. Makes everything seem easy and gave plenty of extra credit to get beyond a A. Did give frequent quizzes on prior material, but very fair.
She is an amazing professor who truly cares about her students. She makes learning fun and brings candy too!
I took this class before and didn't understand it at all. This semester, I understand everything. The difference between this professor and my last professor is like nigh and day! She is amazing,
She is a bit quirky but the best professor. Makes learning fun.
She is an amazing teacher and really cares for kids. She is super easy and really good at making you understand your material. Down side, she is easy but VERY picky. She wants things her way so ask her everything you wanna know. She has quizzes every week which are so easy exactly what the lesson that last class was 5q's. Easy tests too.please pass
She really cares about her students. She will answer text messages late into the night. I highly recommend the class.
I had her last semester. Her tests and exams are fair. She will meet or take the time to talk to you on the phone even after hours. She brings candy to class....Need I say more. Best prof ever. She should train other professors how to teach!
Great teacher, makes everything simple, really fun class.
She was super helpful, spoke very well and made herself available to help students at any time. Her website that she taught from was extremely helpful. I highly recommend her!
Cares a lot about her students. Didn't like the subject but loved the professor. Very knowledgeable about the subject. I really learned a lot.
Very easy professor. Understanding and always ready to help
She is amazing.Take this class!! She explains everything very clearly and makes class loads of fun. She teaches CSi lessons, gives prizes and we even did the chemistry of yoga. She brought in an actual yoga instructor! Best prof I ever had.
Oh my .... BEWARE BEWARE . she select favorite sudents and pass those and save seats for them. She is very "Unprofessional" ( she rolls her eyes at you). She does not pick you to answer. To her you are just a number. Do not take her or at NYIT take it at NCC. This class will make you depress. TRUST ME as a transfer A student DO NOT
She is an energetic professor who really loves her students. You can tell....because she meets us during her lunch hour to help us understand. You can reach her at most times ( even on the weekends and late at night). I didn't want to take this class because I was terrified but I am so half that I did. She makes the class fun!!!
I had no desire to take this class but registered because I heard so many great things about the prof. She met all expectations. Laura (she allows you to call her by her first name) brought in a yoga instructor to compliment her lesson on "flight or fight" and did a crime scene themed class. You never knew what o expect when coming to class. LOVE!
This prof is great but if is a difficult class. She explains everything clearly and try's to make it as fun as possible. Excellent!! Highly recommend.
I am taking her class this semester. This is not the type of class to take if you want an easy A. She is a tough grader but an amazing prof! She knows how to make learning fun! She also really cares about her students. You can reach her late at night and even on the weekends and she eats lunch 3 times a week with students to give extra help.
Prof rocks!! She totally cares if students do well. Makes learning fun. Def take this class.
She is an amazing professor!! Her tests are easy and are extremely straight forward and she gives extra credit each class time for just participating in class. One of the few teachers that help so much!!
She's amazing and nice and will do anything to help her students !
Oh my! She's the best. She makes the class fun and she gave a lot of extra credit. I wish she could teach all my other classes. This was the only class I was excited to go to this semester.
TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. Thank god we have professor Friedland. She makes bio-organic chemistry so simple and easy to understand. She also gives extra credit in class. This is a great boost to your grade. She is always there to help. She will offer to meet with you or even call you in order to explain something. Great overall!!
Laura is a very chill professor. She makes bioorganic chem an easy subject. She makes everything so easy to understand. She has the most effective teaching method. Participation is really helpful because the points are added to the quizzes or tests. One point can really make a difference in this class. Take Laura, she's a great professor.
I took her class twice. The first time I failed bc I had a full time job. Shes breaks it down and uses videos to explain things in the real word. The second time I skipped one class for personal reasons. You need to be in clas everyday. & do practice problems !
Amazing professor. She is so passionate about the subject and actually wants her students to succeed. If you are struggling, do not hesitate to ask her for extra help. She is more than happy to go over any topics/concepts with you. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will not do well if you miss lectures.
She's one of the best science professors I ever had! Her teaching style is different from the usual professors. She usually lectures and then shows an interesting video. She lets us use molecule kits to help us visualize. There is also a fun video group project. She gives around 4 quizzes and two exams. There is a lot of extra credit too!
The best professor I have ever had. We learned so much and she managed to make a hard class fun. Laura (she lets you call her by her first name) was always available to help us. You can call or text her anytime and she will always respond. Best prof EVER!
Honestly one of the best profs at NYIT. Very thorough and you can text her if extra help is needed. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities and time does go by fast in her class. Really recommend taking her!
One of the best professors I have ever had. She actually cares for her students to learn and understand the material. As long as you are paying attention in class and doing some studying outside of class you will do great. Her exams are pretty straight forward as long as you are in class. Great Professor, highly recommend her
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.
Laura Friedland is the nicest, most caring professor who's goal is really to help you learn. She gave extra help on days we didn't have class and encouraged us to reach out whenever we needed help. Our class didn't need to spend a million dollars on a textbook, she gave all the material herself. She is one of the most helpful prof. At NYIT!
Great Professor
Professor Friedland is not only super helpful but makes learning Bio Chemistry easy. Offers extra help which comes in handy and must be organized for this class. Helps you actually understand Chemistry.
She is a great teacher. I learned so much in this class. She gives a lot of chances for extra credit and even gives quizzes to help with grades. she makes class fun by doing some projects. 10/10 would take this class again!
Best professor i've ever had!!! Really cares about her students and is always willing to help. I really enjoyed the course and never thought I would! She makes the material easy to understand and is so sweet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!
Pay attention and youll be fine.
She is great! She explains everything clearly and gives extra credit! Her lectures are very important and would not recommend missing her class. Would take her again for any class!
I took professor Friedland in spring 2021 during the pandemic for Bio-organic chem. Having your camera on was mandatory for attendance, which helped me focus more in class & learn. She gives handouts to print and work on. If you study & practice her handouts, go to extra help, lectures you will 100% pass. She cares for students & wants them to pass
Prof. Friedland was one of best instructors I have had. I was expecting this class to be much harder than it actually was, she has found a way to turn tough topics into topics I actually looked forward to learning. She encourages us to contact her for better explanations of the topics, which I think all students can really appreciate.
Laura is an amazing professor, she is very caring towards her students and really wants to them to do well in her class. She gives so much extra credit and her lectures are so helpful for the weekly quizzes and mid term exams she gives out! Would recommend taking her 100%
Dr. Friedland is the best professor I've had so far. She's very kind and caring. She has an amazing personality and makes every class fun and exciting. You're more than welcome to ask her any questions outside of class and she will definitely take the time to go over things. She goes above and beyond and I will really miss having her teach!
One of the best professors I have had ! There is no reason you do not receive a B + and above ! Do the work go to the extra help
One of the best professors I have ever had, in all honesty. Gives you her cell number and is available by text at any time and will always answer- even about the smallest things. She makes difficult concepts so understandable. She is truly a gem.
Awesome professor! Never had someone that cared and helped their students as much as Professor Friedland. She is always accessible and works to make sure everyone is doing well in the class. Theres multiple extra credit to earn points and do well for the class. 90% of the class earned around a A this semester.
Professor Friedland is cares a lot about students and dedicates her free time to helping you. Definitely take her if you can.
Take her! So much extra credit, you can text her outside of class anytime for help, makes information so easy to understand. Tests and quizzes are on exactly what we do in class. Her class is fun and she gives pizza parties if class avg is 80 or up on a test or quiz. Which I could have her every year!! Doesnt give hw either.
Shes very helpful and nice, always available, and super genuine. She will help you if you help yourself. All you need to pass, is show up, participate and pay attention, and make your folder nice. Also for exams, just attend extra help and look at the quizzes. I loved her.
Amazing
Very helpful and makes sure we understand the material by holding extra helps and answering our questions over text.
Professor Friedland is the best. She is very accessible and always willing to help her students do their best.
Professor Friedland is amazing. She is very clear with what she expects and gives endless extra credit opportunities. Shes very kind hearted and easily one of the best professors Ive had. She offers review sessions every week and if you show up and pay attention you will get an A.
Great professor. Very helpful and tests arent too difficult. Genuinely wants students to do good.
She gives weekly quizzes. Be ready to take a weekly quiz every Wednesday and make sure to study for them. They are only 5 questions each so if you get one wrong you take a big hit to your grade.
Shes a genuinely helpful teacher who wants to help you. The material isnt easy but she explains it in detail. Quiz every week but they arent bad if you take notes. She makes study guides that you will fill as you go out. Always chances for extra points during class. Easy to contact with questions too. Solid choice!
Professor Friedland is a great professor who explains things very clearly and is always eager to help her students. If you pay attention to her lectures and go to her extra help you are bound to do well. She also gives a lot of extra credit and is very nice to her students.
Very interesting class
She is such as great professor take her if you can. You can get a good grade but you need to study. She give problems in class but make sure to do it over. Make sure to attend the extra help class. Has three exams and six quizzes. She has extra credit but only if you solve problem right on the board. Is is pretty accessible outside of class.
She gives weekly quizzes which makes you study and keeps you on top of things.
Taught the material in a clear and precise manner.
Make sure to come to class and participate. She prepares you for every quiz and test. There is a quiz every week. Go to review and pay attention.
My only critique is the teaching is very class motivated. And I prefer more of a lecture type string but she did stop for questions and has extra Chem help..
Professor Friedland is the sweetest professor! She will do anything to help her students pass with good grades. She quizzes us every week to help boost our grade. She also give candy with points if you participate in class and get questions right ! Take her class !!!
She gives weekly quizzes to keep you on top of things. Make sure you study frequently.
Helpful and gives extra credit and gives time to help students outside of class
Difficult class is you dont study at least a little bit everyday. Laura doesnt move on till she makes sure everyone understands. Only thing I would change different is that she would have weekly quizzes throughout the entire semester to gain more points towards the final grade. Shes s great professor and she cares about her students a lot
No textbook needed. As long as you do all work you will be okay! Great Professor. I would take her again!!!
Professor Friedland does her best to make such a hard class easy for everyone. She clearly explains everything you need to know for each quiz and test. The class with her teaching makes it a whole lot less stressful.
Amazing professor !
She is the best professor I ever had. She wants you to do well, she makes sure we are prepared for our exams. She does a review on zoom the night before a quiz to give us extra help. Quizzes every week to see how we're doing. You do learn a lot of new material each week so it's important to be caught up on your work. She wants u to succeed!!
She is very helpful and thorough with her lectures
Actually one of the only professors who i genuinely enjoyed being in class for. She is very clear in everything she teaches and makes sure you understand all the material before moving on. I 100% recommend this professor!!
Prof is really straightforward. Lecture goes pretty slowly so upside is that everyone in the class understands everything. Answers any questions you have, and very available outside of class. Grades are quizzes every week that only require light review and 3-4 exams. You'll pass as long as you don't slack every class.
She was extremely helpful and didn't think any question is a bad question. Whatever you have a problem with, she will be open and help you overcome it! Amazing professor I highly recommend taking her!
Chemistry has always been one of my weakest subjects, but Professor Friedland made it my best class this semester!

Professor Friedland was an amazing professor. She broke down the course in a way that was easy to understand. She gave a quiz every week, total of 6 for the semester, however, she allowed you to gain your points back by participating in class (doing problems on the board).
Professor Friedland takes time to explain the materials and she made sure there was time for office hours when needed help. But you also have to study the material in order to pass this class.

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.

In addition, Professor Freidland breaks down material to make it easier to understand which I love about her
Laura is a sweet and caring professor, if you need help you can text her and schedule office hour appointments for tutoring very easily. If you miss lecture you can fall behind easily. There are quizzes every week and 3 lecture exams so very quiz and test heavy. But she does give lots of opportunities for extra credit which boost grades.
Great professor. Most important thing to do is to attend class and get the notes since they are a major key into passing a quiz or exam. Overall an easy class with an easy way to get extra credit points.
Loved her I highly recommend. Although she's very particular with somethings, there are so many opportunities to improve your grade with extra credit. Very understanding when I was sick and had to miss a quiz. She makes sure that she holds review sessions for extra help and makes sure you understand the material.
The class was easy and there is a lot of opportunities for extra credit as long as you participate. She offered bio at bedtime every Tuesday night to prepare for the quiz or exam the next day.
Great Professor!
She is a great professor, would 100% recommend.
Highly recommend taking this professor for CHEM215. Professor Friedland provides clear and detailed lectures, as well as offers extra credit.
She gives lots of extra credit opportunities, and also rewards if the class does well. It takes a little while to get grades back though, but great professor overall.
Good teacher
Dr. Friedland is a great professor. She offered review sessions every week. They were very helpful. She took the time to help and explain anything you understood. She also offers a lot of extra credit, so you have some cushion.

Great Professor! Easy class!

Be prepared to study and participate and you should be good all good
Professor Freidland is an amazing professor. She provides many extra credit opportunities. Although attendance isn't mandatory it's highly recommended to go class before you miss material since she does give handouts which prepare you for tests and quizzes.
Good teacher. She deeply cares about her students. Just lock in for her class and you'll be fine. Study!!!
Professor Friedland exemplifies what it means to be both a challenging and supportive professor. Her deep knowledge of biochemistry is immediately apparent in her lectures. She has a remarkable ability to explain difficult biochemical pathways and molecular interactions in ways that make them accessible without oversimplifying the science.
She is so caring and is always willing to help her students .She has a lot of extra credit opportunities if you're willing to take it.Always available for extra help.She even does review on zoom for upcoming exams and quizzes.But sometimes she does like to trick students on quizzes and exams but beware if you study you will be good.
She was a great professor, she offered a lot of extra credit and a lot of study prior to quizzes and tests.
She is so caring and wants her students to do well.She has a lot of extra credit opportunities if you're willing to take it.Shes always there to help and even do reviews on zoom before every exam and quizzes.Sometimes she likes to trick her students on quizzes just study well.I would take her again.
She's amazing ! Go to all extra help zoom
Participation was very good for getting extra credit. Zoom review sessions were an absolute must.
very nice and treats everyone equally and fairly.
Dr. Friedland is the best. This is my second time having her because I had to withdraw the first time. She is really smart, knows the material and is always available to help all students. There is always a line out of her door so make sure to make an appointment.
Dr. Friedland is a very good professor. Always available for us and often brings us food so that we can focus on the challenging lessons. There is a long wait outside of her door with students so make sure that you arrive early. I used to hate chemistry but now I love it.
Never really enjoyed chemistry till I came into her class. I highly recommend her. She is very sweet, caring and will give extra points if you participate. Personally, I feel like I learn in her class and get the whole experience. I always look forward coming to her class. She takes time for her students to understand. Truly one of a kind professor
She's very nice and understanding. You don't have to worry about asking questions because she won't bite your head off, she'll actually encourage you to ask questions and help fill in any gaps in your knowledge in a kind way.
Really a great professor
At first I was scared to take her but she is amazing she's always available to her students. Either office hours or calling you. Lol I used text her for help to study at midnight and she would respond
She is one of the best professors I've ever had. She really helps make the material you learn in an otherwise decently hard class very easy to know. If you have her for any class she is the best, gives chances for extra credit and is a genuinely nice professor. Would take again very much so
Amazing professor she really great!
She is fantastic
This professor is very inclusive and interactive. As long as you pay attention and go to class, you can easily get the grade you desire.
