Chem 30B

I'm debating who is more awesome for organic chemistry: Chang or Neufeldt? I'll go with Professor Neufeldt.

She makes the class very doable with her clicker questions and the problem sets she hands out. These problems are not homework but you might as well treat them as if they were. You do these problems and there should be no surprises on the exams. The biggest difference I felt on the exams were that the problems were a bit longer than on the problem set. This could just be her idea of fitting every reaction/mechanism discussed during lecture onto the exam. Also she has review sessions which go over everything.

Nice, straightforward, helpful, smart, funny, all the positive adjectives

Take this professor. It's a shame I don't need to take Chem 30C because she was teaching it the following quarter I took Chem 30B.

Omg. So lucky to have her as a professor. Her lecture is super organized. Office hour is helpful. Extra credit is at the beginning of class so make sure you're on time.

Hands down, Neufeldt is a fantastic teacher. She truly cares about her students and their learning, and on top of it all she has a great sense of humor. Her lectures are very well organized, and she gets through an impressive amount of material in a lecture.

She has clicker questions every lecutre for extra credit. It's a great incentive to keep up with the voluntary hw she gives, but it also makes it really depressing if you forget your clicker that day haha. It's also a good opportunity to see how the material learned in lecture relate to actual problems you might encounter in exams/homework.

This class is the only class so far where I haven't fallen asleep haha. 30B is definitely hard, but it is also definitely doable. Keep up with the homework, study hard, and don't go to football games right before the midterms (oops) and you should be fine. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and this teacher, and I definitely recommend my woman crush Neufeldt.

Professor Neufeldt is definitely one of the best professors that I have had at UCLA. She is definitely concerned with my learning as a student while making sure i enjoyed the class. Strengths include having many supplementary materials that are relevant for understanding the class (fundamentals workshop, the slides from class), having very thorough materials (study guides, problem sets, reaction lists, extra midterms). I also enjoyed how she gave the assigned readings and homework problems daily, so that we could consistently catch up with the material. Even the clicker quizzes were made so that they challenged us from past information, making retention a lot easier.

The only weakness I would give Professor Neufeldt is that the clicker quizzes were sometimes difficult to understand and overwhelming with over 0 options to choose for answers.

Otherwise, Neufeldt is a fantastic and fair teacher. I really enjoyed 30B because of her. By keeping up with the material and studying daily, it doable to get an A.

hands down one of the best professors i've had at ucla. her lectures are pretty clear, explains concepts well, organized with her review session notes as well. if you do her assigned problem sets, which are difficult but prepare you well for her exams, as well as assigned book problems and look over her review session notes before a major exam, you're gonna do fine. speaking of exams, they are very fair, anything from lecture is fair game, not too easy but not too hard( average is mid 60 to low 70).
also she is extremely helpful! offers extra office hours, almost every day of a midterm or final week, definitely recommend her for the 30 series, youll learn so much
