She gets lost everytime she is going to lecture, we had her for a grant program and nobody took her again for the next course.
she does not know her craft, if u asked her a question she will tell u to hold on while she goes in the book to look for an answer or an explaination. I do not recommend her to anyone.
She is okay. She gives extra credit because most people dont do well in her class and her teaching method is reading from a power point. Which basically reading verbatum from the book.
She doesn't know what she is doing. Her lectures R very boring & had 2 understand. If you don't mind reading your book & teaching yourself, take her. She's any easy grade b/c she gives so much extra credit pt. U can help but 2 pass. But U will learn nothing.
Shes not that bad, was a bit boring, but the class itself wasn't that hard (and I took it summer term). You just cant miss a class because its a nightmare to catch up. So if your one of those that shows up only for the tests- DONT take her...otherwise, shes a pretty fair woman, and a nice woman.
This teacher has no clue what she is doing, her method is not efficient. Her tests have nothing to do with what she teaches, it's off the wall. Yeah! she nice but you won't learn. Don't take her if you are a science major!!!
She isn't that bad I took her class in the summer yes it was boring but it is chemistry. I got a B in her class and i busted my butt to pass her test are not that bad if you study she has a lot of defintions on her test overall i guess she's OK. oh and she gives extra credit.
She does not know anything about Chemistry. Can't answer questions without refering to the book and does all the sample problems that cleary show in the book how they can be solved. You can do all the studying in the world and have a problem passing her tests--they are very UNCLEAR! Nice but teaching is not her calling!
This teacher is the worst teacher ever. She doesn't know how to explain the material. She read from word to word in the powerpoint. If ask her a question, she would not answer from brain; she eikk go straight to the book. Do'nt ever take tha teacher.
HORRIBLE!!!one of the worse teachers that i've ever seen!!! i'm an A student but she killed my GPA.she doesn't know anything about chemistry.if you take her book she will be compleatly lost!!! yes,extra credit is done online, but it's so hard that it's impossible to finish it or get it wright.Do yourself a favor and your GPA and DON'T TAKE HER!!!!!
THis is the worse teacher I have ever had in my entire life.she is lost most of the time and if u ask her a question she can not answer you witout looking in the book first and expects u to be an expert in chemistry. DONOT TAKE HER!!!U will regret it.she should go back to her research science that she did before!!
Like everyone else has said, This is the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. I chose an awesome professor and the school switched teachers on us. Now because of that I hate chemistry with a passion. She knows little to nothing. When students ask her questions about the homework she doesnt answer. She doesnt teach, shes a powerpoint teacher.
Holy crap! Honestly, I think she's forgeting we're AA students, not Grad students! Her 'extra credit' and online problems are difficult even for the Chem tutors to solve! Her lectures are a joke, and don't explain well at all. She expects you to be masters in everything from 1045. I ended up dropping and going to Wolfson. Retire, I say!! XP
awful
Took her for CHM1046L, she's great--and only in lab is she great! Always answered questions and told us what was going to be on the midterm and final. If you have any problems you can go to her. Just don't mess up your experiments! Re-doing a 1046L experiment will take you forever!! Be sure to pair up with people who know what they're doing!
only take if you have prior knowledge of chemistry she rarely knows what shes talking about and is basically WHACK!so avoid her as if she had anthax!
the worst.she never knows what shes talking about.
i took her for chm lab and she's good teacher. she was boring but explained everything. i got an A on both midterm and final.come everyday to do the experiments and turn in the work youll do fine. just dont come there tired and hungry you will fall asleep.
If you're taking your classes seriously and its important for you to have a good GPA because your tryna go places, then DO NOT take her! she's so incosideratre.. IF (yes i said if) she knows her chemistry, she sure doesn't know how to teach it, she's just not a good person to learn from... and this semester, i've found her trying to get rude and st
I had her for lab, and I liked her class. She sets you up in teams of 2, so the work gets done fast. You only have one drop lab worksheet, so don't miss! She tells you whats going to be on both mid term and final. I pass with an A, and I dropped my lecture. The lecture was with someone else.
not a great teacher but if you want to get an A you just need to study the book, she makes the tests based exactly in whats on the book. attendance is required but you really dont need it, you wont learn much in her classes, i would recommend her if you are only interested in getting an A and if you like to study by yourself.
she is not horrible for lab, since i got an A, but you need a somewhat firm background, on what she is teaching so you could completely understand her. if you have doubts just ask, and study. Shes a so-so proffesor.
RUN!!!!!!! She doesnt know what the hell she is talking about!!! I put in 20 hours a week for this class in studying and ended with a C!!! HORRIBLE LADY!! She explains nothing for she knows nothing!
This professor honestly doesn't teach at all! She says attendance is mandatory but she doesn't teach anything. As long as you do her online assignments and do all the homework problems out of the book, you will do good on the test.YOU WILL NOT PASS IF YOU DO USE THE BOOK! IF YOU R NOT GOOD AT TEACHING YOURSELF THIS IS NOT THE CLASS FOR YOU.
I took this professor for the CHM1033L and she does not teach very well but her class is easy, all you have to do is do the experiments is teams of two once your done with your experiment you can leave and turn in your worksheets, dont miss a class. The midterm and final are based on the worksheets, and the short workbook. Very easy class.
She was the worst professor I have taken. She does not teach the lessons, you will need to pay for tutoring She has poor interpersonal skills. She intentionally tries to intimate you. She is the worst professor. RUN, RUN, RUN. I received an F, learn from my error, and that's after reading the comments on ratemyprofessor.
I am taking her for CHML1033. I had no choice because of scheduling. I agree with all that is posted. Horrible interpersonal skills she is numb. Does not like when you ask questions and looks at you like you are stupid. Goes way too fast for anyone in the class.Do not take her. I was interested in learning but noe I am interested in passing
Okay she is the type of teacher that dont you dare go up and ask her a question because you will regret you even did ( even if you have no other choice) she is very rude, her class however is not complicated, her quizzes and tests so far i find them to be fair. But her attitude is very ugly towards students. She has no mercy so dont miss an exper!
HORRIBLE!!!!!! She is teaching virtual college and she is completely and utterly clueless. The book is just horrible, and the quizes and tests do not match up at all with anything in the book!!! There are lots of errors in the course and she has no idea how to solve them.....DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! GOOD LUCK IF YOU DO!!!!!
experiment sraight forward. give quizzes alot but only from what we review in class. Don't spoon feed anyone in other words please pay attention. only two test. mid/final. Overall her class was not bad.
had her for lab .four or five quizzes. two test mid term and finals. good review for both quizz and test. Answered question very short. other than she is ok. i got and A.
She was a great professor.
Dont take, you will have problems with getting a good grade, from my heart telling you...
Do not take her! RUN! She knows the material but does not know how to teach it. Very hard mid-term and finals, unapproachable at all times, and mean.
she really doesn't care about what you learn. she can't explain the material, so basically if you want to end up with a good grade, you have to teach yourself. if you take her, make sure you have the time to study BY YOURSELF.
I took professor Fernandez for chemistry lab and i passed with an A. She is not hard at all! You just have to put in time to study like any other class. Professor Fernandez is very helpful and will teach you many things. TAKE HER! you wont regret it!
I took her for lab and she is the most unpleasant professor I have ever had. She makes sure your day is ruined after you get out of her class. No patience. No people skills. I believe she is a pathetic old lady.
I took Fernanadez for lab. She ruins everyone's day! She talks to her class like if we were elementary students, takes off points in the lab reports for ANYTHING (I argued with her a couple times about that). Her mid-term and Final, are difficult for it to be a "2 credit class" besides the fact each multiple choice is 3 points which i find absurd.
had her for lab got a B and all i learned from her class was to mix things. she is a horrible teacher but its an easy class all you have to do is the lab one good thing is that she always lets you out early. midterm n finall was hard nothing she said that was going to b n the test was
As a first time chemistry student, she is a terrible professor to introduce new material to. She throws information at you like its a given that you know what she's talking about and ahe teaches very poorly. The majority of the class, I had to teach myself and the class session was distratous because she will say one thing and the actual answer wil
Ok where can I start.. If you take this class, be prepare to spend at least 5 hours everday going through the book to solve problems on your own. She does not explain in class, she is rude, only 4 test and all of them are super hard and FULL of tricky questions. IF YOU TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN CHEMESTRY ON YOUR OWN.
She's a great professor that knows her chemistry well. She asks the students to get involved during lecture by putting them into groups and giving them exercises. This gives you extra points if you win. Attend class, pay attention and go home and go over everything as well as do some book problems and her hw. Easy A if you put the effort.
She doesn't explain in class. You're expected to learn it on your own. Very hard class. Does not have any patience. Will bash you if you ask questions. If she would use class time appropriately to teach and explain chemistry it would be a whole different story.
As a science student you are expected to attend class EVERYDAY, pay attention, take A LOT OF NOTES and then go back home and study on your own. She knows her material, she expetcs you to know the material she teaches in a class by next class, which is reasonable. She will help you by giving a 10 points worth pop quizzes the class before the test.
I couldnt say everything in a comment. If you are lazy when it comes to studying, do not take her, the class is hard. I got an A but I studied a lot. She's not bad at all, you just need to know your material
She isn't very helpful and she didn't really know the material. If you asked her any questions outside of the slides she didn't know and would belittle you or say extra credit if you bring in a report about it. 0_o
Very rude person, she gets upset if you ask her a question.tests have lots os tricky questions.Does not explain things well, does not care if you are not understanding the subject. Complains that nobody goes to see her in her office for help, and when you go there, still you get out of there clueless.
Take another teacher.. Waste of time and money. Very rude to students and she goes too fast. Does not explain well. I am sure she knows her stuff but she doesn't know how to teach it. High % drop out rate.
Took her for CHM1046. Not an easy A but once u put in some time its possible. No use of electronic devices. Mastering chemistry not manditory. Final is cumulative. She loved our class.. Thats the sense i got. NOTE I ALSO TOOK PEDRO GARCIA. ROSA IS NOT BAD SO DONT BE MAD IF YOU DONT GET INTO PEDRO'S CLASSS.
coming from a straight-A bio major student. DO NOT take her. The honors college at dade gave her one class of us honors students and at the end there was 3 A's 8B's and 9 C's. That is the last time the honors college will give her a class. Most of us didnt understand the lectures and ended up learning it ourselves. I warn you again RUN RUNNNN
she is not the greatest...she is all over the place and yells at students sometime for no reason.. she honestly scared me i wouldn't go see her in her office..i'm sure some like her she didn't do it for me
Honestly, if you don't have the time, want, or effort to study and teach yourself everything then don't take this class. She means well, but she's very very tough. She isn't the best at lecture. I took her for a 6 week corse and I literally had no life.
Skip class? You won't pass
As a science student, you are suppose to study a lot. She is not that bad, but you will have to study really hard. She wants you to study everyday but just for 30 minutes. Take her lectures and read the book the topics she covers in the class. do the homework problem again and again. Practice nomenclature everyday. so you will be ok .
If you're looking for a professional, enthusiastic someone who cares for her students future and really go deep in helping one understand the subject matter, please drop this class and run this professor is the opposite of good quality of a teacher. She will discourage you bringing you down as low as herself. Her reviews " are we went over this."
She does not explain the coursework thoroughly and moves very quickly. If she however sees that a lot of students are struggling she will slow down and focus on helping for a while. Her test are okay if you study for it. Fernandez likes to gives pop quizzes so always be prepared, they can sometimes be extra-credit along with other homework.
Don't take her as simple as that. You will not get a higher grade than C even if you study.
Easy online class. Good amount of extra credits available. Science is not an easy subject for me but taking it online facilitated a good grade. If you put some effort and read you will pass the class. Teacher answers quickly to emails and will lend you a hand if she sees you put in the effort.
I hope you find this in time. Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Fernandez is not a people person. However, if you need help you can visit her during office hours or contact her via email. She is a very stringent grader so be very careful when turning in lab reports. The material on the Midterm was exactly what she said it would be and was fairly easy. The Final however was difficult. I got an A.
In chemistry, there is a lot of reading, but if it is a new subject try to teach with understanding. The tutor is there to help us and not to teach us. However, i did learn new things that were interesting. I did not pass the class; this will not stop me.
The due dates are all out of whack, everything is due on the same day and she gives you about a month to complete like 2 whole modules and no direction whatsoever, it's very confusing. There is extra credit but it's not super easy either (2 essays and 2 quiz-like). The reviews for the proctored tests don't cover everything on the test itself.
She's not always there to help unless you hunt her down in her office hours. She only gives tests; she also does not demand the students respect because her lessons can be given from the book and you'll get the same result.
Took her for lab and started my chm lecture class later in the semester, still was able to understand the material she was teaching for the most part. Ask questions if you don't understand something, study groups are good for this subject too. Prof. walks you through exp at beginning of class and then lets you work. Had to do some research at home
Prof Fernandez is an okay professor, she has a bit of an attitude and lightens up on some days. You must purchase the lab manual from North campus no PDF although its the same thing and you must complete Prelabs. There are two test Midterm/Final which you learn nothing besides to read steps and complete the steps in lab. I do recommend this Prof !

I'm currently in the middle of taking the course and let me tell you, its hard. she gives assignments from the textbook that aren't graded, but you need to do them. although, when you take the section quiz, theres material that you weren't told to go over in your assignment or that were shown in a power point. read everything or you won't pass
If you want to pass chem do not take this Professor.
Do not take this teacher. Especially if it's the last course you need to graduate and if it's online. She never asks emails, you have to basically send a bunch for her to actually answer. She won't fix your issues but send you somewhere else. Terrible terrible.
Chemistry is not my strong suit but if i was able to pass 3 semester of Chemistry then i have something going on but man this lady. She's at least 15 minutes late to every class, doesn't know what she's teaching and basically doesn't know Chemistry and her test are extremely hard and short less than 25 questions.
She is always late. Does not care if you fail. Will direct you to the internet for any question. Will not finish board example questions. Expects her students to know it all. Her students prove her wrong. To conclude, do not set yourself up for failure please.
She is the worst professor I've taken. She doesn't care about her students. If you ask a question she will tell you "you should know this by now" and other times she won't even look at you. Worst chemistry professor stay away from her!!!
Worst professor I've ever had. She is an elitist expects you to know everything always trying to be better than her students if you ask a question she is condescending and mean. pop quizzes every class just to prove her points. has made me entirely hate chemistry and question myself. Seems to teach just because she has to not wants to.
I've never been stuck with such a terrible professor. Not only is she extremely lazy her lack of passion, enthusiasm and care is out of this world. For the first time in my life I thought I was going to fail a class, this lady not only expects you to learn everything by yourself and her lessons are two examples from the chapter . Stay away
Prof Fernandez is incredible. She really inspired me in so many ways. You can tell she cares a great deal about her students. If you're not lazy or stupid her class is not difficult.
I honestly didn't find this class to be interesting due to the heavy mounts of work however the professor was very good in staying contact. Until the final exam. However she is alright. Just do the work and buy the book.
This professor is beyond awful. She doesn't teach or explain any of the material, and when you go to her during her office hours, she's very rude and doesn't even try to explain what's troubling you. She doesn't post any grades up, so you're basically clueless about your progress in the class. I wouldn't recommend her for any chemistry class.
Prof. Fernandez is not as good professor. She doesn't teach at all, but at least it's not a hard class. You can google everything and she's not a tough grader. If you want to learn take another professor, but if you wanna pass the class without too much effort, she's not the worst option.
I wouldn't say she is a bad professor, she just has a bit of an attitude. Just do all your lab reports and pre-labs and you'll be fine. Mid-term and final weren't that hard.
If you like some social life, and suffer from any kind of anxiety. You will have a problem. This professor expects to you know everything. She will always come 10-15m late, and will most likely speedrun the lecture. Most students, I repeat most students didn't know anything and still don't know what they are doing.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! You will be setting yourself up for failure. She doesnt not teach well at all. Shell go over a chapter with one example in class and tell you to go home and study the rest yourself. Homework is completely different from the class work. Classwork is like a level 10, homework is a level 92. Dont do it, save yourself.
She is the worst professor I've ever had. She was never prepared for the class and she will teach four chapters in one day. Her classes has a very low level compared to the test which are very hard and you will see questions you have never seen in class. If you want to succeed in her class you have to teach yourself and watch a lot of videos online
Taking this class with her was a very stressful experience. She is a terrible teacher, barely explains anything, reads form the power points the whole class. When she's asked questions her response is with attitude and on top of that she gets confused making you wonder if she actually prepared the class. Get ready to teach yourself the material !
This professor Is horrible, she gives random quizzes for extra credit, but if you dont understand the material she gets upset and makes the entire class fell as if they are stupid. She does not take the time to explain a concept and gets kind of annoyed if you ask more than 1-2 questions. You have to go back home and teach yourself to pass
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! Honestly, if you care about your transcripts, DO NOT TAKE HER.
Prof Hernandez teaches as if she is teaching herself so you're going to have to teach yourself. Also, very sarcastic lady.
She doesn't explain the lecture. She thinks we all know everything about chemistry and she's very to tough in class. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
