She is very helpful and very well prepared for the class. Always use power-point presentations so can pay attention to what she says. Great class, great professor to learn from. Definitely recommend.

She is a really good teacher. She responds to emails within a reasonable time, always there for office hours, communicates well with students, and gives extra credit, && drops grades (:. This class is VERY easy, there is no reason why anyone should fail if effort is put in. RECOMMENDED. RECOMMENDED. RECOMMENDED!

she is really the best, very concerned about her students success. you will be glad that you registered in her class.

She is the best science professor ever!!! She shows genuine concern for her students' success in the class. Gives ample amount of extra credit! She is super nice and approachable. If you don't take her, then it'd be a huge mistake! By far my favorite professor at this school!

She is one of the best professors. She really goes out of her way to help the students, knows her subject, is down to earth, always available to help outside of her office hours too, answers emails, very patient. This professor is worthy of a lot of praise, needs to be teaching all kinds and levels of chemistry classes. If you need an A, take her.

Excellent professor. Knows her subject well, very patient, gives extra credit, always ready to help, wants every student to do well. If you want to make an A, then do take her, you wont'e regret it.

By far the most knowledgeable professor I have been fortunate enough to have thus far at GSU. She is very easy to understand, and she does not expect the students to "know what she knows". She will teach from the very basic fundamentals of chemistry and ensures that the entire class understands the material before moving on to the next topics.

Most helpful and greatest chemistry teacher ever! He helps you out a ton! If you try and study hard it is impossible to not make an A.

i personally thought fernando was an okay teacher ( Not the best). She likes to play games with people grades at the end of the semester. Going to class was pointless because she posts EVERYTHING online. She gave away a lot of extra credit points. And she did not prepare us for the ACS exam which was super hard.

She is extremely helpful. She is not at all patronizing when you have a question. She helps you understand basic concepts. The end of the semester was crammed.

Dr. Fernando is a great lab instructor because she was very straight forward about what she wants. Labs were very fast but luckily she sent powerpoints and handouts which made me prepare for 2 or 3 questions in the ACS. If you have a chance, you have to take her because she is very nice and helpful. She can be pretty strict at times but manageable.

Dr. Fernando is your typical professor. She isn't very hard, and isn't very easy either. Classes aren't mandatory but attendance is recommended so you can be aware of the material being taught. If SI tutoring is still given, GO! It's a huge help whoever the instructor is will know the teaching style of the teacher and what will be on the tests.

Dr. Fernando is such a great professor. She really helped me with understanding the concepts of chemistry. She gives a quiz every week, so attendance is mandatory. If you aren't in lecture, you WILL fail the quiz. She is ALWAYS at office hours. The SI sessions are helpful, but she can answer all of your questions. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!

Very good professor for a class many people struggle with. Gives every opportunity for students to do well. No homework but gives practice quizzes/tests you can do. Was not rude but don't expect any favors if you don't attend class and show up at office hours complaining about grade. Go to class/take notes, go to office hours or SI and will be fine

I enjoyed Dr. Fernando's class. I didn't use the book at all she covers everything in class. There is no hw and before every quiz and exam she gives a practice one which is optional but I highly reccomend doing them. If you take good notes, attend every single lecture, study weekly, and stay on top of things there's no reason you won't make an A.

Dr. Fernando's class is the best chem Lecture class I have taken in GSU. She is very intelligent. She answered every question accurate in class: its amazing. She gives study guide for exams and quizzes which are very helpful. She makes complex concepts become very easy. I WILL TAKE HER AGAIN. She prepares you for the ACS. I'm glad I took her clas

She is an awesome professor

Overall, I enjoyed Dr. Fernando's course and her way of lecturing. She writes everything you need to know on the board, so take notes and you'll do well. We had in class quizzes weekly and three tests. To do well, read the textbook like she says and review class notes nightly. It's definitely not an easy A course, but it's not impossible either.

I enjoyed having Dr. Fernando for chemistry 1152K. She's very friendly and caring. Sometimes her lecture can be overwhelming and vague. But she's always there if you needed extra help. There are quizzes every week. Make sure you take notes in class and go to office hours. 1151 is the just beginning, just wait until 1152..

She a great lab professor. She really cares about her students and if you have questions she's always willing to answer them.

She seems very serious during lecture but is actually a very kind and genuine person. Make sure you go to class; lectures are important. Weekly quizzes. Her lectures can be vague sometimes, but that's because she relies on you to read the textbook, come to her office hours, and watch the videos she's posted online. You'll have to work for that A.

The. Textbook. Is. Key. Read the textbook and stop blaming her for your poor grade. Do the PRACTICE QUESTIONS in the textbook (they have answers!) She provides us with PLENTY of outside material to get a good grade. Also, she gives extra credit! Its not necessary to attend lectures but theyre pretty helpful in terms of reinforcement.

Never read the book. Attended every lecture, studied, went to office hours for questions, and I made an A+. You must study. Theres no way around it and thats where ppl mess up at. What she teaches in lectures is exactly whats on the test just different numbers. I ONLY studied notes and never made anything below an A- on a test. Just dont be lazy

Very straightforward chemistry teacher. It's very clear that she knows what she is talking about. If you miss class, it is a guarantee that you'll be behind. Every lecture is important. Attending her office hours are essential because that is the only way you'll be able to correct mistakes on quizzes and tests. Tough tests, but passing is possible.

Read and take notes on the textbook chapter before you come to lecture or youll be confused. Most people do bad in this class because they dont know how to study. Dr. Fernando is very generous with curves and extra credit so dont freak out if youre not doing well on exams (unless youve failed every single one). 1152 is much harder than 1151.

I was skeptical of her teaching until she missed a class and Dr. Navarro lectured for her - out of the two of them, Fernando is way better. It's just a hard class. Lectures are long and boring, and tests are nothing like the practice exams. There's lots of exams, especially during midterms and finals - chapter test, lab test, and ACS back to back.

Honestly, she is not a bad professor but you have to WORK for the grade you want. The textbook is VITAL. This class is fine if you read the textbook and study. I would read the textbook, do all worksheets and practice exams and make Quizlets after each lecture and I did well. Don't rely on the practice exams, they are not like the exam.

Attending class and taking the course seriously are the most important things to focus on. She's a great teacher but its a hard course to cover in the amount of time that professors are given so you need to be ready to dedicate a lot of outside time to studying and reviewing the material. Go to office hours and ask questions, she will notice.

As long as you show up to class + make an effort there's no reason to not do at least okay. She is always there to help you in her office hours and will go over everything you need to know within the lectures themselves. While you dont technically need the textbook, it's really helpful for going over things you might not have understood in lecture.

Great professor. If you go to her office hours, she'll really guide you through the course. Lectures follow the textbook material closely.

As far as chemistry goes, a pretty good professor. If you go to class it should be relatively clear. The lectures are straight forward. The tests aren't bad. When we went online the tests were timed but it was more time than in class. Practice quizzes and homework are available to help. Should pull an A if medium effort is put in.

She was very critical of all your work, but she gave you corrections on the spot. We met every week with her and our group. She's very nice and understanding. She tells you exactly what she wants and when she wants it. Just do what she says and you'll get an A in the class.

Took Dr. Fernando over the Spring. I attended all the opportunities to engage with her and I would describe her as friendly, calm, and respectable. Yes, she makes some mistakes during lecture and content publications, but we're all human. Minimally condescending. Overall, I enjoyed this class and professor and I would take both again.

Teaches the class fast and doesn't give any extra credit. Read chapter before class bc she'll go over that chapter in class and go to the next one. Be prepared for the amount of reading you have to do outside of class to understand. Her class is more of a lecture, you take notes, and class is done. If you need help or questions, attend after hours.

Not sure why she has such bad ratings, she was one of the best professors I had. Her class is easy as long as you attend lecture and take notes. She provides practice quizzes, exams and extra worksheets. They are optional but they're extremely helpful so I suggest doing them. She was always willing to help and easy to get in contact with.

Dr. Fernando was great. I was in the lab and lecture of CHEM 1151 in fall 2020. She will match your effort. I got a lot out of the lectures and she was good at explaining the material in an understandable way. Great professor, the class can be challenging, but if you try and she see's that, she will work with you.

I don't know why she has bad ratings. I expected bad lectures from reading the ratings, but she is actually good. Very nice and lenient too. Sometimes funny. Provides a lot of practice problems. If you study and attend lectures, you'll be fine. Easy to talk to. Would definitely take her again.

If you show up to lectures, do her practice worksheets/exams (which are similar to her homework/ quizzes/ exams), & study outside of class, you will do well in her class. She responds to emails fairly quickly, makes herself accessible to students, and will accommodate you if you can't take a quiz for whatever reason.

Dr.Fernando is an amazing professor for organic chemistry 1&2 , she gives you more than enough examples to help. She also is very available for office hours. Her exams do reflect her notes you just have to constantly study and you will do good.Tests are also majority of your grade but the whole chemistry department follows the same grading scale.

had her for lab, shes a good prof & explains stuff well, come prepared, it helps a lot and saves time. I would take her again BUT just know she can be a pain in the rectum. If she yells at u, just take it and move on cuz it is not worth the fight. stay on her good side ( even if that means u have to kiss up to her) and u will be fine.

Absolutely love Fernando, this lab is tough, but manageable. Go to her office hours, ask for help. She works hard with students when they show her they are doing the work. She is also very nice and rather enjoyable to be around. I really enjoyed having her has my professor and learned a lot from her!

She is accessible during office hours. This is my second time taking her and I passed with A's both times. As long as you come to class and understand its going to be a breeze. However she is pretty bad with answering emails. She really does care about her students so as long as you explain your situation she will do what she can to pass you.

I took her both Organic 1 and Organic 2, and I couldn't be happier. She would post worksheets and practice tests online, and if you go through those worksheets and tests a few times and understand them clearly, then the tests will be a breeze. All in all, if you study enough outside of her class, you'll be fine in her class.

She is a very good professor! She really suggested that you come to class a take notes; for her notes was very helpful. I personally love her teaching style, it seems as if she really knows how to make the material seem less complicated. She also was very adamant about studying the material after you received it and coming to her office hours!

I wasn't sure about her at first, but after narrowing down the class to people who cared after drop, I liked her a lot better. She puts on a hard exterior to weed out those who aren't willing to work and rewards people that are. If you did poorly in Orgo I, obviously she is going to be hard to follow, but if you did well you should have no trouble.

She is a very good professor. She provided practice exams, worksheets, and notes that were very helpful to get good scores. She purely wants you to learn and is always willing to help you.

Orgo II was challenging, especially in the summer, but the professor had a fair approach to teaching. She provided exam reviews the day before and graded homework strictly, ensuring comprehension. The professor also offered an extra credit opportunity by adding a dropped exam grade to the final grade, motivating students to perform their best.

I loved Dr. Fernando she has by far been the best lab teacher ever. She really explains the topics well and she makes sure everyone understands them. We asked one time for the quiz to be open book and she let us use our lab books for every quiz after except final. She gives study guide for final as well and takes her time to go over every question.

Dr. F puts on a rough exterior to weed out the people who aren't willing to work. If you attend class as much as you can and study, she is quite lenient with partial credit, reviewing before the exams, and curving at the end. The only thing I didn't love was that she doesn't draw out the skeletal structure of chemicals but writes out the carbons.

Professor Fernando's class was challenging, but she provided helpful resources like practice exams and worksheets. While strict, she wants students to succeed. Unstuckstudy was great for organic chemistry prep.

I had Fernando for Orgo I and II and absolutely loved her. She is very straightforward and doesn't distract us with useless information. She gives out one question every lecture to track attendance. As long as you write down everything she writes and study your notes, you will do well. Her exams practically mirror the notes.

Understanding and practicing Professor Fernando's worksheets, tutorials, and practice exams are crucial to passing this course. If you have any questions, she will be there to clarify during office hours.

Super organized, helpful, informative and clear lectures. Just follow the lecture notes and make sure you know the reactions and the exams will be easy. She is super clear about what will be on the exam and what won't, so make sure to attend and pay attention. She is also very accessible in her office hours and will sit with you to help you.

Going to class is basically mandatory because she teaches and does examples in class that aren't posted anywhere. The class itself was challenging but going to class and watching youtube videos helped me maintain a high grade. The final was mechanism heavy! (horrible).

the class itself is hard but she's a good teacher. as long as you are engaged and pay attention you should do fine! she gives worksheets and the answers so there's a lot of practice outside of class.

The best orgo teacher to take

Just make sure to attend her class and take notes. She is an amazing professor and does her best for our success. She provides tutorials and office hours and basically gives out the answers to her exam questions in class so just pay attention.
