I have had her for like 3 quarters. just follow her instructions and you will get a good grade. Just dont mess up with the final exam as it is tough and could change your class grade. over all easy instructor and I would recommend her to you.

awesome chemistry teacher!! go for her..

Good teacher. She tends to teach at a frenzied pace, so you really have to pay attention. Only problem I had was that her lectures really didn't follow a logical progression so I always left scratching my head. Just make sure to read the book and do the problems in there and you'll be fine.

mrs newberg is the best chem teacher! Good sense of humor and very helpful at office hours. Tests are just like handouts & notes. Very generous with partial points on tests & quizzes. TAKE HER!

She is an excellent teacher. She gets a lot of material into each class period, but if something is unclear, talk to her during office hours and she's fabulously helpful. Do each worksheet that she passes out and labs according to her layout. Tests are very straightforward- you either know the material or you don't. I'd reccommend her to anyone.

She is an excellent teacher.

she is a excellent teacher.. u will understand her better than any other chem instructor. not that hard in correcting quizs n exams..u will get partial credit..ur grade will be higher than what u have expected..take all chem classes with her

Good teacher, funny too.

best teacher ever i had 4 chm

Excellent professor. Knowledgable, accessible, tests on the material covered, quizzes are basis for exam. If you attend class and follow her format for labs and study based on lectures, you will succeed.

She is awesome, I totally love Chemistry now because of her. Her tests are easy, she explains the material so that it will actually make sense. She is fair but firm. You'll always know what to expect. I would take her anytime for Chem.

easy, helpful and tests and quizzes are easy and come from the topics covered in the class. But be careful about labs, she is very firm and strict when you miss a lab or not properly following the guidelines given. Her method of lecturing is very simple and explains each topic in the simplest way. come to class and labs regularly, will get a or b

She is nice, she is very picky with the lab reports. she is better than Shih but she is still harsh..

She is a good teacher because she literally tells you what's on the exam since exam problems comes from quizzes and the examples that she goes over during class. Her class is never boring since she is very upbeat. The exam is very straight forward. I know that many people wanted to have her again for the next chem class when this class ended.

Newberg is a fantastic teacher! The material she covers in class is on the quiz/test. Easily accesible if you need assistance. ALWAYS goes the extra mile. If chem is hard for you, Newberg will make learning Chem fun and interesting! If you have a question, she will NOT make you feel silly/stupid. Extra credit nice too! She is a jewel to COD!

Overall a good teacher. Teaches right out of the book. Test are ok and is available for help. She also make you take English tests and other stuff, not counted towards grade though. Dont go late for the lab even five minutes will kick you out.Go to class, read the book daily will get an A.

Confident lady. She is very through n u can learn a lot from her teaching.If you do the sample exercises in the chapters and also the questions at the end of each chapter,you are guranteed a "B" or higher,cause her test questions are very similiar to those in the book!just make sure u'r always on time for lab and have ur goggles ;)

Pro: Professor Newberg is the most clear and excited teacher about the subject. You will LEARN when you take her class. Lots of partial credit on exams. Con: She is arrogant and has a sense of humor that 30% of the class enjoy. Labs: Show up on time and with every bit of work that was asked (Adv. Assignments). FOLLOW her format on reports or FAIL!

I had Newberg for both gen chems You have to have your act together, but if that's not a problem, take her because you learn a lot. You have to be willing to work to succeed in her class--read the book, following her guidelines on lab stuff, do your homework, etc. She is strict, but there's a reason for that. ALWAYS be prepared for a quiz.

Ms. Newberg is the reason that I'm graduating from pharmacy school next May! She's demanding but if you show true effort, act professionally, and go to her for help, there's no way you'd get anything lower than a B! She's very intelligent and loves her job!

Newberg is a great chem teacher, she really knows what she's talking about. She's extremely clear on what she wants from her students, it's all a matter of being able to follow her guidelines. As long as you're prepared to work, you'll be fine. Daily in class quizzes/online quizzes, but she's a fair grader and gives tons of partial credit.

She is a very difficult teacher. Daily quizzes on material learned in previous classes. Allows rewrites on labs. 5 unit tests and a final. Expects alot of memorization. If you stay on top of the material and attend the lectures, the class isn't too bad. Her class is very interesting, and her powerpoints are very useful.

If you have a major that requires a rock-solid knowledge of chemistry - this is the class to take. High work-to-grade ratio, but the Powerpoints and practice worksheets are very helpful. Quizzes almost every class, but it forces you to keep up and helps to contribute to the overall grade. Overall quality: top of the line for any school, anywhere

Professor Newberg is an excellent chemistry teacher. She does start each lecture with a quiz, but they don't weigh that heavily into your final grade. However, they are very similar to test questions. As long as you study quizzes and notes you will do well on exams!! Newberg is also a really nice person! Definitely recommend her!!!

Professor Newberg is very nice but a very hard teacher. Her lectures are long and confusing. If you do a lot of outside work you should do well. If you are a slacker DO NOT TAKE HER. Her exams are terribly difficult, but go over all the material learned in class. And I mean ALL OF IT. Do not miss a single day or you will fail!

This class is not difficult but it is time consuming. Professor is very helpful and knows the material very well. There are 5 exams and 1 cumulative final. Expect a quiz before every lecture. She's a tough grader on labs but tests are not very difficult.

Very well-informed professor. Giving quizzes almost everyday for checking attendance. Be sure come to class, those quizzes will help you a lot on the exam, and the information that you should not miss. Sometimes she rolls over the materials too fast, so I have to re-study on my own.

Mary Newberg is serious about Chemistry. She gives daily quizzes which are challenging yet relevant to the reading. I HIGHLY suggest thoroughly pre-reading the material so the lectures make sense. Test are pretty tough too. Mary heavily focuses on Mathematical reasoning, so get your Math IQ up to par and prepare to do some work.

Professor gives quizzes every lecture, so be prepared. Quizzes usually based on the previous lecture material. Also, problems on the quiz are very similar to problems on the test.

Pros: Extremely intelligent, clarifies everything, open for help, very good at explaining chemistry to the novice. Cons: until you know her you'll think she is very rude, moves too fast through lecture, too many damn quizzes (49 total). Overall, if you're a chem major take her. If you're a bio major don't. 2-4 peeps out of 45 will get an A.

Very picky on labs so be careful! As long as you study, you'll be fine. Study from her quizzes, they resemble the exams and read the chapter because her exams have have multiple choice based on concepts!

GREAT teacher! Firm, but fair. Uses examples to cement the concepts. Keeps lectures interesting (which is hard for a chem class). Expect to work hard, but the tests are exactly what is presented in lecture. Don't take the intensive summer class unless per week.you're really serious about studying chemistry 40-50 hours

Considering that it is chem 1 and the level of difficulty of this class at other colleges, this class was really easy. Her quizzes were easy and her exams were actually very easy as well. She lectures with slides and doing problems on the board. Don't know how she had so much energy at 7am for 4 hours straight. Pretty good professor overall.

She is hard but she is a great teacher. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I like the way she goes through examples during lectures. You have to study a lot out of class. She is strict on grading labs. After you get used to her, you won't be intimidated because she is really nice. You will learn a lot from her and will do well if you put effort.

At first I was very intimidated. However, professor Newberg really is nice and helpful. Definitely have to study hard throughout the course but she does a good job of preparing you for the test. Picky on labs and you can pretty much expect a quiz everyday but its all to prepare you for the tests!

She's a really tough teacher and not very sympathetic, but she's also one of the best teachers I've had. She explains everything very clearly and if you go to her office hours she is always willing to explain. As long as you do all the work and study you'll do well.

The first week you probably think she's mean and does not care about you. As time goes on though, you see she's really nice, knows all her material and can get silly. She explains things pretty well, but she drags a lot at times. I would recommend her, she knows her stuff and it's overall an easy course with her.

Very profesional teacher sent emails consistently and replied to yours, im not sure why she is rated so low i love her. She explains everything very well and always hinted about things that would be on quizes. She just doesn't like students who dont pay attention then try to have her teach them in 5 minutes, wouldn't you get angry

She is one of my favorite teachers at COD. She allowed rewrites on lab reports, the quizes are straightforward and not worth more than 5% of your grade, and the quizes are a page of last years test. she is super approachable and is super nice in office hours. The online homework helps with the test and she is super clear if you ask questions

She knows her materials, she explain very well if you are not lazy

Prof Newberg knows the material really well and explains everything clearly. She gives out MasteryChem and quizzes that is gonna be on the exams so if you study those, you should get a good grade in the class. She also sets up a Guided Study Group with a tutor who took her class before and you can always go to her office hours for some help.

The previous posts below that are down-right harsh aren't so wrong. (I don't blame them). Nevertheless, she is a teacher who gets the job done effectively by weeding out students(Mentally weak). Honestly, I despised this teacher the first for a couple/several months, but she made me realize med school won't be any easier. Thanks P. Newberg.

Might seem rude because she is real with her students. Calls people out for slacking. Quizzes everyday over the material from the last lecture, tests are easy because it's all of the quizzes stapled together. To get an A in her class: pay attention during the lecture, take labs seriously, take your time doing MC!

I have just taken the class with Professor Newberg. I can't be more thankful that she was the one who replaced our teacher because he couldn't finish this course. It feels like in the last two weeks with her I learned way more that I had during the entire semester. I'm sure I would never pass the ACS exam if she didn't substitute.

Best teacher ever!! Her way of teaching is amazing . Lecture first then wrksheet next really helps you understand the material. Some students really slowed down the class would recommend her to not slow down for those few who don't comphrehend the class. It is a college level course if you can't handle it, maybe you shouldn't be in college!

Took her CHEM 0485 course over the summer. She gave out many worksheets and her lectures were very clear. There will be quite a lot of pre/post labs but overall very easy teacher/grader. I highly recommend her.

Personally I think professor Newberg deserves a much higher rating. She is caring and willing to help students. Her class is fast paced but if you prepare well before the class you will succeed. She is very inspirational. I learned a lot besides chemistry from class.
