Highly recommend for orgo, especially orgo 2 in the summer. She makes it manageable for a 6 week course by only teaching you what you need to know. Go to class and do the textbook problems and you will be prepared for the exams. She basically gives you the exam questions during lecture. Office hours were every day before class.CHEM2313 2026-06-26 22:20:43 +0000 UTC
Honestly she's the best, nothing bad to say about her. Just show up to class, review the lectures, readdddd the textbook please readddddd the textbook again read the textbook, once more read the textbook!!!! and please do the homework and practice problems and you'll be just fine.CHEM2312 2026-04-23 04:00:03 +0000 UTC
.... don't do it, class has gotten so much harder (to the point where it feels unfair). No multiple choice anymore, all free response - no test corrections either.CHEM2311 2026-03-23 22:39:09 +0000 UTC
Professor Mathews is AMAZING! She somehow finds a way to explain complex topics more easily. She makes videos too, which you can go back and watch. Her exams are very fair, and she does practice problems in class. If you put in the time, do the homework, and don't skip class, obtaining an A/B is feasible.ORGO1AND2 2025-04-29 02:35:31 +0000 UTC
Take her....The only people who don't like her are the ones that didn't study or procrastinated a lot.2311 2024-12-10 19:29:17 +0000 UTC
Mathews was a pretty good professor. Her outlook on lecture was to review the textbook portion that we were supposed to have already read before class. This teaching style wasn't great for me because I don't learn well from textbooks. Her lectures review what you should know but don't go deep enough for her exams. Overall, decent class.ORGO1 2024-04-27 21:14:39 +0000 UTC
Responds poorly to perceived challenge, protects her self-image, and may use dismissive authority language when criticized. When interacting with her, this means communication should stay brief, neutral, written, and focused on procedure rather than emotion.CHEM2313 2026-06-18 22:09:15 +0000 UTC
Would not recommend. The teaching style made the material hard to understand, and explanations were unclear. Concepts weren't broken down well. Also, several overly positive reviews appeared before the semester ended—LIKE TWO ON MARCH 19 AND 21, 2025—which seems very suspicious and raises doubts about the class's true quality.CHEM2312 2025-03-24 01:49:39 +0000 UTC
I am not great at orgo but matthews pushed me to think about these topic from a new perspective. The white board practice days are so helpful and test content is similar to things done in class. Test all multiple choice, some homework. Compelling and respected professor.CHEM2311 2025-12-04 17:50:24 +0000 UTC
She is a great teacher. She clearly outlines what's on the test, and sometimes, she even gives free answers during the exam. She is very nice, but make sure you avoid asking questions like "change my grade" cause she will do the complete opposite (I didn't do it, lol). But yeah, take her, she's great.ORGO1AND2 2025-04-27 20:20:18 +0000 UTC
I learned a lot. Great teacher.2311 2014-12-09 14:09:49 +0000 UTC
I'm 2 days into Orgo 2 with Brian Fulton, and I already miss Jude. She is an excellent lecturer, especially considering the difficult concepts covered in Orgo. She very clearly says what will be on exams, and stars those topics in her slides so you can go back while studying. However, make sure you do the textbook problems if you want a good grade.ORGO1 2023-05-09 14:06:07 +0000 UTC
Rude towards men for some reason, and likes to talk down to students. BewareCHEM2313 2026-06-10 23:06:56 +0000 UTC
This is a knowledgeable and amazing professor. Not only is she super smart but she can communicate. she gives you all the necessary materials to do well in her class. love herCHEM2312 2025-03-19 15:23:32 +0000 UTC
She is the best professor at Northeastern. If you want to understand orgo 2 take this class.CHEM2311 2025-11-20 06:37:29 +0000 UTC
