She is a very nice teacher! She loves her job and she loves to teach. She was very helpful. If we didn't understand something she would hold extra sessions before a test to study the material which really helped. She is really nice!

Prof Feazell was great. This is the last class I have to pass before I can go to nursing school. I have taken it once already with another professor and got a D. Dr. Feazell explains things so much more clearly. I not only passed but I think I actually understand OChem now! Great Teacher! I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent professor. I came into the class with no enthusiasm, but Prof. Feazell made things so clear, step-by-step, and easy to understand that it ended up being my favorite class so far. She will happily explain things as often as needed. The homework and quizzes are very reasonable and useful. Very friendly, cheerful, engaged, knowledgeable.

She's the worst professor I've taken at NOVA. If u come in 5 min late to class,u will miss the quiz and she won't give u a make up quiz. She prepares 3-4 which are different and some of them r harder than the others. She only gives u 10 min for 5-10 questions where most questions r workout questions. She snatches away your sheet when time is up.

Dr. Feazell provides you with EVERYTHING you need to pass this class. From ppts, youtube videos of her lectures/labs, add'n videos, practice worksheets and exams. If you use the resources she provides you'll do great. Lecture isn't mandatory, however, I would go cause she does a good job at explaining material.

Dr. Feazel was very intimidating at first, but her teaching style and humor quickly grew on me. It is helpful to read the book before lecture because of how detailed her lectures are. She gives extra credit as practice exams.

Chemistry is hard to teach, and for me, also hard to learn. Mrs. Feazell understood my difficulties and was willing to speak to me after class about how I can improve my grades. If ever given a chance, I will take her again. This is not an easy "A" class. Do not wait until the final test to ask for help. Overall, a very good professor.

Organic is hard but she tries to keep it from being awful. It is definitely possible to get an a or b but you really have to study. She is available outside of class to help. She's nice but she can seem mean or impatient sometimes. She drops 1 exam (not final), 2 quizzes, and 2 prelectures. The 5 exams are 500 points out of the 660 point total.

Dr. Feazell, though a funny lecturer, is not a good orgo teacher. She is extremely unapproachable & will make you feel like you are wasting her time when you ask questions. For a class where you must work out problems, it was extremely frustrating being unable to go over missed questions or step by step of mechanisms. I do not recommend her class.

She does have a good spirit most of the time, but she rushes through PowerPoints and doesn't show us enough reactions. I would rather spend less time on words about the reaction and more on the actual reactions since that is how we are tested. The exams aren't horrible, they are very fair. However, they are very broad. Get Organic as a 2nd language

I chose this professor because of the great reviews but this was the hardest class I've ever taken. So many exams (5+ not including final) and not 1 question was multiple choice. Your overall grade is basically your exam average. Orgo is a hard class but she makes it even harder. Also the extra credits are pages long but is worth like 2-6pts

Her lecture explanations were hard to understand, not much homework to practice. For exams and quizzes if you did one wrong you lost all points and no partial grades, and she deleted all after that. She had bad behavior and attitude toward students. She did not care about students unless you asked her for help but not all. Don't take her classes.
