You shouldnt expect a free ride because it is a 1000 level community college class. She does have an accent, but read below for English just as difficult to understand. Shes not condescending; she actually believes that that we shouldnt need things dummed down for swamp monkeys, meaning she has respect you don't have for yourself. Grow up.

Found her to be very helpful and easy to understand. Her english is fairly clear. She has a way of being able to explain difficult concepts in a manner that I was able to understand. It takes a great professor to be able to understand our level of knowledge. She has been a Chemist for 20 yrs yet she is still able to break it down for us!

She is very helpful and tries her best to work with you if you need one on one help.

She really knows the subject matter and is always available to help during office hours or after class. By the end of the class you will understand chemistry. Do not take her if you really don't want to learn. If you love chem, she is the best at south campus!

Great teacher, the class is difficult regardless who you take. Her power points and online work help a lot for the tests.

Dr. Woldman is an excellent and professor. She will spend as much time as you require to understand if you go see her outside of class. If you are looking for something easy, this is not for you. If you are not familiar with Chemistry and are going to continue in the subject, Dr Woldman's class is a great place to start, and yes she has an accent.

she is a very nice professor, she does everything in her power to help her students understand chemistry. She does have an accent but her way of teaching will help those who are going to take higher chem classes alot

Awesome teacher! Give yourself a week to adjust to the language barrier, but after that its smooth sailing. That is ofcourse if you're here to learn and are willing to be flexible. Bottom line: it's a good student's haven, if you're here to skate, you've been warned.

Dr.Woldman is fantastic!! Go to class, pay attention, take notes, do the homework, study for tests and it's an easy A. It's hard material but if you're willing to do the work and put in the time she does everything she can to get you that A. I learned quite a bit and really enjoyed her class!

great professor. I highly recommend anyone taking this class.

Her accent gets in the way of her clarity. Also, she expects you to work for your A. That being said, if she knows you are working hard, she will take the time to go over problems or explain concepts. I recommend going to her office hours as she is more helpful there than in lecture.

She has an accent, however she is understandable. She covers a lot of material but she knows the subject well and will work with you if needed during her office hours. She does get a little irritable in class if you asks questions beyond the scope of the lecture. This is a college course for med/science majors so if you?re looking to coast, take

Teaches at a level which respects the intelligence of YOU the adult which people often confuse with hard. Teaches and explains everything clearly and will clear up any doubts if you ask. 4 Tests which are fair (she grades lightly so As on tests are not hard). Nice lady but does not condone irresponsibility. Took this in the summer and it wasnt bad

I learned a lot from her.

I do not understand the slant against her. Yes, she has an accent. But it is not unbearable. Russian accent is not hard to understand. Very organized (ppt, labs, syllabus, etc). Wants you to learn something. Expects you to be prepared. Expects you to think and analyze problems from different angles. Take her if you want to know chem.

I do not understand why people hates her? I took her for both CHM 2045 and 2046 passed with an A. She is very clear and helps her students as much as she can. However,if you happen to be one of the slacker who lacks simple ability to do math,do not take her. Otherwise, she is really good.

Be prepared to spend more than avg. time studying. Her sample tests are nothing like her tests (much harder). MAJOR STOICHIOMETRY!!! Research paper,she gives 2 weeks notice.paid $50 for hmwk online & in the end she said it didnt matter for grade. Memorize ur polyatomic ions ASAP cuz she gives quiz n a weeks notice. GOOD LUCK!!

It is best to read the chapter before she lectures and u'll understand more what's going on. The final is easy and just like her sample final, but her other sample tests are nothing like her tests. She expects you to think backwards. Labs are tedious. More than half the class had dropped.dont have to take final if u have 90% avg. on tests.

I learned an incredible amount of chemistry this semester. I took CHM 1025C right before this class, which helped a great deal. A lot of students struggled with this class, but they seemed to not put in the required amount of study time. I averaged about 10-12 hours of work a week to get an A. 90% average on tests and you are exempt from the final.

I took Dr Woldman's CHM 2045C class in which I made an A+ and was exempt from taking her final. Tests are challenging but she grades very fair. She is very helpful and takes time to answer all your questions. I recommend reading the chapters before going to class due to the speed of the lectures. SIMPLY PUT: Work hard and you will get an A!

Dr. Woldman challenges students to understand the material instead of memorizing it. I went to class, read the chapters, did the homework, and dedicated time to studying (~10hrs/wk) to earn my A. 90% exam avg. means you're exempt from the final. More willing to answer questions in a one-on-one setting. Not an easy class, but I highly recommend her!

This is definitely not a 101 class.It was hard to understand her at first, but it really helps to talk with her after class and ask any questions and problems you can think of. She will go above and beyond to help you, and really wants to teach & her students to learn a lot. This is definitely not an easy class even after reading all the chp & hw

This professor is hard and expects a lot from the students. She is very helpful if you come to her office hours and knows how to teach chemistry on a level that is easy to understand. Even though I have a B in this class could have made an A if I had spent more time studying for her test.

I received an A in this class. It is not an easy A, but it does require some effort. As long as you complete the labs correctly, attempt the homework with a decent grade and study for the test you will do fine. I don't understand what everyone is complaining about. She is willing to help you everyday as long as you schedule it with her.

Dr. Woldman is a fantastic professor! She is very smart and teaches the material in a clear and detailed-oriented manor. She has a Russian accent but it's not that hard to understand. Although she can be a little hot-headed at times, she is very nice and is always willing to help her students; expect to study hard. I highly recommend taking her.

Tough test questions, but no gotcha questions and grades fairly. The workload is demanding. Between 4 or 5 80+ question online homework with short due dates, the chemical naming quiz, 3 tests, 5 labs and a research project, your first 8 weeks will be rough. But Dr. Woldman is always there for you and really does care about your education.

Dr. Woldman is a great professor. Chemistry is not easy for everyone, but she teaches the material clearly and in a organized way. She also provides study guides for the tests. If you attend all the classes and do the homework, you'll do well. Expect to spend a significant amount of time doing homework, but it is necessary to pass. :)

She is a fair professor who expects you to work hard. In class she goes through the material quickly, so I recommend asking questions and participating. Whenever I asked her a question, she was always willing to explain a concept over again or do another example. It's not an easy class, but you will learn a lot if you put in the work.

Do not miss class! She covers a lot of information in her classes. She also pays attention to what her students might be struggling with on test & reviews it throughly. Study guides & powerpoints are really helpful. She is very flexible on late lab reports. I feel like you really have to not care to fail her class.

Professor Woldman is a fair and caring professor. Attendance is an absolute must!! Class participation is required. Take good notes(if you can not print lecture slides). The lectures cover a lot of material so ask questions. Homework assignments can tend to be long but htey are very helpful as study material. i earned an A but it was not an easy A.

She makes you work in this class but she really makes the effort to make sure you understand the concepts behind the material. You have homework to do, classwork, labs, 4 tests (5 counting the final) and one quiz in Chem 1. She might take a while to answer questions. My only problem is that I wish we had more time for tests.
