Prof. Khuu was great! He explained everything clearly and was very helpful. He teaches his class using powerpoints, which he provides for students to follow along with. There were 3 exams, 3 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. I highly recommend you take Prof. Khuu. I will definitely take his other chemistry classes.

He is definetly one of the best teachers within the Chemistry Dept, and worth taking. He makes the class really funny, although sometimes it may get a really boring. I will not say that his class is easy, his tests are extremely hard, but you just have try and you'll probably get a good grade.

Mr. Khuu is probably the cutest science teacher that I have had- I definately had a little crush on Mr. Khuu this semester. With that said, I didn't think he was an "easy" teacher- and it was a bit hard to figure out how he was going to test. But no complaints here. He does make you learn if you are willing to put in your part.

Professor Khuu is exactly the kind of teacher that I wish I had as an undergrad. I agree with the previous commenter that he is very dedicated, well-prepared, but also he is able to explain complex ideas in a clear, uncomplicated manner which makes the subject less intimidating. I have experienced many professors as a university student,

I think Professor Khuu puts a lot of more experienced teachers to shame. It is true that 15 students remained at the end, but close to half or half of the remaining 15 students ended up with an A, so it isn't impossible to do well in his class. Just do your part and study hard- you won't find a better teacher than Professor Khuu.

He is easy to responds if we have questions, the exams were kind a hard. If I have question and emailed him, he definitely help you and there's zoom for office hours which is helpful. 4 exam and final and 2 discussions. Not a fan of chem but I passed this chem and especially with the help of prof. Khuu Assignments were multiple attempts.

I took this course because I dropped my ochem class at GCC. I took it in Winter 2022 this was a 3-week course fully online asynchronous course. You had all week to take your exams and both exams and hw were due on Sunday at midnight. Exams were easier than hw. You can pass this class with an easy A while picking up important material. 3 exams

If zero rating was available that would be my choice. Definitely the worst professor, it's a shame they get paid to not teach and be lazy. I basically taught myself the whole course that's how I managed to get an A. Extremely unactive and doesn't teach literally consists of videos and more videos.

He responds to emails really fast. The whole curriculum is straightforward. There are 3 homework sets, 3 tests, and a final. You can find the textbook with answers online. Really easy, but it's hard to actually learn chemistry (if that's your intention).

I had this professor for lecture and another prof for lab. Pretty much, he has 3 homework sets every two weeks then a test the following week. If you read, the homework and exam are easy. He does not teach, just assigns homework and exams and you learn from the textbook. The class was manageable since it here was no live option.

There were no live lectures, only textbook sections that you would need to read and slideshows. There are three hw sets, three midterm tests, and the finale. Pretty much whatever is on the hw set is going to be on the tests. As long as you do the hw, you should be fine. If you ever need to reach out to him, he's pretty quick to reply.

Take him! I never took Chemistry before, and I got an A. You can too! His tests are very straightforward. No tricks. No pulling out hard questions from the book that you've never seen. Even the homework that is due are the odd problems. He wants you to do well.

Took this class for Fall Semester (15 weeks). Lectures were fully online, there were 3 exams and 1 final (not proctored) and in person lab. There is 3 sets of homework, which you turn in, but all the answers are in the back of the text book. Professor is very easy to reach, and as long as you put in the effort, you will get an A

I took 19 units during this class and it was manageable. If you message the professor, he responds QUICK! Make sure you set a time to read the book, and go over the lectures. I took the lab with Jose Alvarenga, and he was also great! He responded to every question when doing the labs. Both were amazing professors. The more you study the better.

We had 3 exams,1 final, 2 discussions, 3 sets of HW, no EC. I took him online and he only had slides, but I asked if he had zoom recordings and he posted them. He is a wonderful lecturer and explains things thoroughly. He is available via zoom by appt, engage with him. I also recommend going to tutoring every day to review HW and concepts.

I chose Professor Khuu's course in the of 2025. This class was very low-stress because you have plenty of time to complete the assignments. The assignments weren't difficult either. If you need to take a chemistry course, I highly recommend choosing Professor Khuu. Best professor at ELAC.

Fully asynchronous online class with online lab. From day 1, Professor Khuu had the entire course already loaded on Canvas. Homework can get lengthy, but you have ample time to complete it. He also responds quickly if you have any additional questions/need help. Lectures were easy to follow. Do the work and you'll pass.
