She's willing to work with you. She gives tons of partial credit. Her lectures are confusing but one on one she makes sense.

why, this teacher so easy, the easier the teacher the less you learn,remember that.

She's really nice and approachable. She's always more than welcome to help. Study her notes and do the homework and you should be all set.

she's helpful and very nice

Very nice, very accommodating. Lectures slightly dull, but its of little consequence.

Always smiling

NICEST WOMAN YOU'LL EVER MEET. Go to class because her notes can be a little unclear. She's very fair and really cares about students. She'll never try to trick you in any way. She's more than willing to help outside of class, so take advantage of that.

SWEETEST WOMAN EVER TO TEACH. ALWAYS SMILES AND IS SO HAPPY. TESTS ARE HARD BUT SO IS CHEMISTRY TO SHE CAN'T HELP IT. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHEM THEN SIGN UP FOR HER CLASS OR ELSE YOU WILL REGRET IT!

An exceptionally, rather nice teacher, always in a pleasant mood, always smiling, which is a plus. Since I have prior knowledge of the chemistry taught, I managed to do very well in the course. However, someone with very little or no knowledge of chemistry may realllly struggle in this course...

Very nice Professor who tries to help the students out. Tests are pretty easy, quizzes are even easier. You get the old exams to review which are similar to the ones youll take in class. I suggest taking her if one needs an science credit.

Fairly easy chemistry class. Makes lots of numberical mistakes in her notes so watch out. Exams and quizzes not overly hard. She's very helpful if you go to her with questions.

Very willing to help, but isn't great at explaining things. She needs her notes or solutions maunel to work out problems. But she will always be there for you, and if very flexible. She is a very sweet woman

Very nice. teaches with powerpoint. quizzes are easy and they help boost your grade. very easy grader on exams.

She's very sweet and easy to talk to. You must check her work as she makes mistakes on her slides from time to time, but nothing major. If you pay attention, her teaching is very straight-forward and logical. The tests aren't extrememly easy, but if you study you'll do fine.

Dr. Geldart is an awesome professor. She is very caring of her students and will always help anyone out, even if it puts her behind in her own work. Make sure you attend the lectures, since the slides she uses have a few mistakes on them. If you make an effort to talk to her @ her office hours, she gets to know you and will help as much as she can.

Sweet woman. She cares a lot about her students. She will help you as much as possible, so visit her in office hours! She's pretty clear and willing to re-explain her slides if there's something you don't understand. Her exams are pretty hard but if you study you'll get good grades. She scales her tests too. WARNING: DON'T TAKE IT OVER THE SUMMER!!

Everything is explained in the powerpoint slides she shows in class. Notes are very clear and easy to understand. Sometimes she goes too fast, but the slides are always available online in the library reserves! VERY easy quizzes. EASY exams.

very cool class...just not for 8 am... haha

I don't actually go to the class but the online notes are very good

geldy!

The class isn't a piece of cake, you're going to have to work. However she's always there during her office hours for extra help and will always go back on her lecture if you don't understand something. The Exams are a bit tough (open ended usually 24 questions) but she's a fair grader and if you study you'll probably do fine in the course.

Dr. Geldhart is a great teacher, granted you will actually have to learn the material. If you just need to take CHM 101, you are probably better off taking a different teacher, because her exams can be somewhat challenging but if you need to take any chem courses beyond 101, definetely take Geldhart!

She is THE ONE you need for chem 101 and 112. Always there to help students. Mostly she knows what she's talking about. She answers every single (even really basic) questions in class, but never condescending. Some people complain her class is hard, but believe me, better than any other chem teacher in this school.

Her tests can be a little challenging, but nothing impossible. She is so nice and understanding. She will make time for you. People who say bad things about her are stupid. They have less than 3 brain cells. You really have to actively pay attention to slides, not just stare at them. Practice book problems! Best teacher for CHM 101 & 112!

Prof. Geldart is one of the best chemistry professors at URI. I ended up taking her class twice-and you know what I learned? If you go to class, really pay attention, and then do the problems in the textbook, an A is acheivable. And, she is very kind and will truly help you in any way. She wants you to succeed! But its up to you to put in the work!

The BEST to have for 101/112. Is always available for extra help and is the NICEST professor in the department. Exams are fairly tough but she gives tons of partial credit if you write down anything that even remotely makes sense. She gives easy weekly quizzes, 2 free attendance quizzes and drops the lowest exam grade. You can't go wrong!

Dr. Geldart is a straight up genius. Thats a good thing and a bad thing. She overcomplicates the lectures. I found the book to be easier to understand. Take this class if you speak chemist or feel like using the book.

she is a fair teacher. her grades are scaled. i had her in the summer and we had our 2 lowest quizzes and lowest test dropped. she is there to help you and willing to meet with you if you can not attend office hours.

Exemptions for final available! (If you do well enough on the unit exams.) Quizzes weekly but most are easy. Free quizzes for certain days (normally before vacations), just show up. HW is not collected (book not too important), but good for practice. Easy to talk to/ask questions. Can sympathize with students. Possibly the best for CHM 101.

good teacher. she gets the facts in and basically tells you all the answers to the quizzes so its mostly her exams that are rough. dont overthink them.

this teacher is SO HARD. shows no mercy and a really, really tough grader.

i had a hard time in the class... i just didn't get her notes and the way she words the problems on the exams was hard to me, personally... but others really like her and i've heard she's the best for 101 and 112.. just try hard and i'm sure everything will turn out well. HER PRACTICE EXAMS HELP OUT A LOT!

She is a great professor. if you ever have a question about something dont hesitate to go to her office... she will explain it in a nice way that you will understand and she never makes you feel stupid! its a hard class, but its chemistry. its supposed to be hard. i had her for 101 and 112 and would take her classes again in a heartbeat.

She is very elaborate with the material and an OK grader. She is extremely helpful, especially before tests. She randomly gives two free quiz grades if you are present and drops your lowest test grade. It is not impossible to get an A, just make sure you understand EVERY concept.

unclear teacher. she teaches off her powerpoint notes which are available online. concepts are confusing, and so is she. she will give as much help outside of class though.

On all her tests I got C's. I used this to my advantage. Now I knew what I understood and what I didn't. I asked her about everything I did not understand even though I had some idea. For the Final exam, I got an 89 and as a final average, an A- (after the quizzes were averaged in). Just make sure you understand all concepts and be sure to ask Q's.

The nicest teacher. She's always there for help. In order to do well in the class you NEED to do the problems in the book and be near smart people for the inclass quizes. Tests are hard but there isnt really a strong demand to attend class except for the occasional free quiz days. Very boring though.

Sue is a great professor. She really cares about her students well being and understanding of the material. She is always willing to meet with you to clarify information. She drops one of the three exams, and two of the quizzes. Material is kind of tricky, but if you put time and effort into it you will do fine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

Had Dr. Geldart for 101/112...she cares about her students and had office hours 4 days/week. Two free attendance quizzes, one test of 3 and two quizzes of 12 dropped...very math-based; gives partial credit; posts practice exams; quizzes will boost your grade; show up to class, do practice problems, and use office hours for help and you'll succeed.

Geldart is a good teacher as long as you go to class. She explains everything through powerpoints in class. All the slides are also online. If you put effort in you will be able to test out of the final. You don't need to read the chapters just do practice problem cause her test are all problems with some vocab. No multiple choice.

good teacher. when you ask a question, she actually answers the question. make sure to go to class because she gives quizzes out and she she basically tells you all the answers and how to solve them, which is helpful for the exam. don't slack off, and an a will come!

The notes are online, so my best advice is to print them and write down notes in the margins as she lectures. I used to write the notes thinking it will help but it's really distracting and not helpful. Should know how to do problems b/c tests are hard. Quizzes are periodical and unannounced-so be there. She's really nice. Fair grader.

Extremely nice! Make sure to go to classes for quizzes. She goes over how to do the quizzes in class so you should almost always get a 100. The tests are fair even though average is low. Make sure you know how to do all the example problems and questions at the end of the chapters. If you do that you won't need to take the final.

Grades are based on in class quizzes and exams. For the quizzes, it's open notes and you can work together. She also helps. Don't skip classes because quizzes are not announced and usually only help your grade. Exams can be difficult. Do the problems from the practice exams and understand the concepts. She is always around to help.

She is really really nice!!! If you get behind get help ASAP! She will help you if you ask for it and SHE ACTUAlLY ANSWERS QUESTIONS!! Go to class because she has unannounced quizzes. Do problems at the back of every chapter(she usually bases exam questions off these). Will take another class with her

It is a little hard to stay focused in class. But anything you miss or dont understand she will meet with you and explain. She is possibly one of the nicest ladies I have ever met.

Really good Teacher, but her test are very hard. Very nice lady.

Given the tremendous size of her classes, the woman really works her butt off. It's often easy to fall behind in class, but if you utilize her office hours and the textbook you should be fine. She also has a final exam exemption policy, which is rare among college profs.

LOVE THIS LADY

She's an amazing woman, but chm is an impossible subject at URI. Classes are huge & required by most majors Utilize her office hours, talk to her & let her get to know you, she'll help in any way she can. She's really caring, she really helped me through my first year of college. Go to the SI sessions weekly too, they really help.

She is honestly the most caring, helpful person I have encountered during my time at URI. Go to her office hours, she loves to get to know her students.

She's a nice lady, but she just reads off slides. If you go back and read the notes they are helpful. The book provided minimal help in terms of preparation for exams. If you're pursuing chem in the long run you want her because you will actually learn. Be warned that it's mainly self teaching, but go to SI session and office hours.

Excellent teacher. I've never met a PhD so full of life and pleasant. Highly recommend her. She is better than all the others...

I had her for 101 and 112. She's really a wonderful professor. Very nice and extremely helpful. Very fair grader. Class is a bit difficult, but she makes sure you learn. Read the notes, ask questions, and do the practice exams and you should do fine. She genuinely cares about her students and does everything she can to make sure they succeed.

Dr. Geldart is an awesome teacher! She is really helpful. The material is hard so you need to study and the tests are difficult. Just practice problems from the book and do the practice tests she gives. If you have questions, ask her or email her. She always responds quickly. Definitely worth taking her as opposed to another teacher.

I had her for both 101 and 112. Her exams are definitely tricky, and most questions are worded very awkwardly, but she is a sweetheart and was ALWAYS available for help.

Really intelligent woman! Such an honor to learn from her. While I will be the first to say that Chemistry 101 is a difficult course, she makes it very clear on how to assess the information & connects ideas really well. She's very nice, always offers help & answers all questions. Definitely a class that you can do well in if you put in the work.

Very nice woman but it's very difficult to pay attention in class because she just reads off power-points and highlights easy problems in class. Otherwise, she is very helpful and nice if you try. I did O.K. in the class due to the wonderful SI instructor. If you take this class, stay ahead of the curve and do the HW with each chapter.

A good professor. She's not the greatest but she's not poor either. She's very helpful outside the class room and, if you are putting in the effort, you should be able to pass her class without too much difficulty. Do the Connect HW EVERY WEEK. Follow the aforesaid and you'll do fine.

Had her for CHM 112. Very very hard class. i was failing with a 37 average before the last exam and i was able to pull out a C. Her lectures didnt help at all, and her style of teaching isnt helpful to me. expect to put a lot of extra time in

TAKE THIS CLASS, ONE OF THE EASIEST TEACHERS AT URI. LOL, JUST KIDDING..BUT STILL A VERY EASY TEACHER AND AWESOME TEACHING SKILL, THIS CLASS IS A MUST TAKE!

Really good and easy to follow. Shes a sweetheart and even has a final exemption policy, which is pretty cool of her. If you go to the SI and review her powerpoints (there online), you will be fine for the exams.

CHEMISTRY IS HARD. stop blaming the professor for your bad grades. She is a sweetheart and will help you at any time you ASK for her help. That is all I have to say

Such a sweet woman. This class is a hard class but it is not her fault, no matter who teaches you're going to have to do alot of work. Very helpful and willing to work with students who take the time to tell her when their having problems. Take her class!

Took CHM101 3 times (dropped it first 2) with 3 different teachers. The first two were miserably boring. Whoever says Geldhart is a "bad teacher" is just bored of chemistry. She makes learning this as interesting as possible. She provides you with all the essentials to learn on your own too.

Geldart is by far been one of the best and most caring professors I have ever had!I had her for CHM101 too. Her exams are tough, but i found if you put the work into it they are quite rewarding. Her practice exams and the practice connect problems help. She explains the material clearly in class, and she is ALWAYS available in her office for help.

Great professor. I had her for CHEM 101 last semester and she still answers my questions for 112. Great resource and amazing teacher. She loves it when students approach her.

By far my favorite professor I have had so far. She cares so much about her students and does everything in her power to help you pass the class. Chemistry is difficult so you obviously need to put effort in and do the homework and study for exams. If you pay attention in lecture, keep up with the homework, and go to office hours you will be fine.

Really nice professor. She really cares about the students and is willing to spend extra time to make sure you understand. All her notes are online if you ever need to go over something again. Tests are difficult but manageable if you do the practice exams.

Dr. Geldart is an excellent teacher given the difficult material she handles. She explains the material well and her slides are organized. Her tests are challenging because they are all open ended questions, but they are very fair. The practice test is essential the same as the real thing. She is a sweet lady who truly cares about her students.

a sweetheart who is there for the students definitely better than the other 112 lecturers

Probably one of the sweetest people alive, but does make you work for a good grade. Didn't do as well as I wanted but that was partially my fault. I wish she did more practice problems in class because her tests are all open response questions. Overall good teacher, super helpful and cares about her students.

Really good professor. Probably the best for 112. Explains everything well and really wants to help you if you come to her office hours. Exempt from final if you are good with taking the average of 4 exams.

Hard class, best chemistry professor at URI

sweetest lady ever. curves grade and very helpful. best chem 112 teacher.

I had Dr. Geldart my second time taking CHM112 after failing it with another prof, and it made a whole lot more sense with her. Her lectures can be confusing occasionally due to her going a little fast, but going to her office hours really helps. She's also one of the nicest people I've ever met and truly wants you to succeed. Drops the lowest exam

Definitely a good professor to learn from, best chem one I've had. Lectures aren't mandatory but I highly recommend attending all or it will be hard.

Dr. Geldart is a really good professor for CHM 112. She gives good notes in class and goes through example problems. Her exams were almost identical to the practice exams. Make sure to do lots of practice problems outside of class to prepare for exams!

Doctor Geldart is one of the sweetest professors ever. Going to office hours helped me greatly. The material can be difficult and exams are 80% of your grade so studying is very important. Dr. Geldart is always available to help though.

I am the worst at chemistry and in spite of this, Geldart was super encouraging and always available in her office to answer questions. the lectures sometimes dragged on because she teaches using a lot of example problems. tests are pretty hard, but she is still one of the better professors at URI for chem. pretty decent option- shes a nice lady

Dr. Geldart was a good professor. Her exams were tough and she's decent with partial credit. She is the best in the department. Go to class, practice all the problems. The practice exams are not helpful, create study guides. She drops the lowest test and the final was optional. Go to class, go to office hours, and practice: you'll be fine.
