Overall, she put in a decent effort, but I see areas that have room for improvement. Consider making your office hours more broad, meaning on different days in the morning/afternoon/evening allowing students with conflicting schedules the same opportunity for help. Most importantly, stop holding office hours in the SLC. We talk. It's not helpful.

Just so you know all the bad reviews are most likely from TABS students (the High School at TCC). They got mad that she actually made them learn. The previous teacher gave them 50 point curves for no reason. I talked to several of them about it. She's actually a wonderful teacher. She's extremely helpful and her lectures are really clear.

lugo is amazing, its a tough subject but if you attend her class and study you will know what you need to know to pass. she has 4 homework assignments scattered through out the semester so its done on your own time (great for working people). test are simple 30 question multiple choice. don't recommend going full time when taking this class.

Dr. Lugo is a great chemistry teacher. She makes sure you understand and expects you to participate in class even if its not for a grade. Lectures are extremely thorough and lab is as usual. Her powerpoints include practice problems and she is easily accessible during office hours for help. Great teacher overall.

I still think she is the best teacher I have had so far. She is well organized, cares about her students and loves to teach. Her PowerPoints are her test. Read carefully the lab manual, usually the answers are there or in her lab PowerPoints. I would highly recommend to attend her office hours. You ROCK Dr. Lugo! Thank you for your awesomeness!!

The professor teaches a good class but puts too much on the power points. The sapling hw is very hard and no opportunity to do better. Prepare to spend 12 hours a week outside of class studying.

One of the best teachers that I have ever had. I wish I could take her for every class. This is a science class so obviously one has to study hard but she makes the subject seem easier. She is extremely caring. you can go talk to her anytime and she will help you out. I love her.

Dr. Lugo was amazing at the start of the semester, but things started to go down hill when we got behind in the semester and had to rush to cover it. Beware Wed lab she moves the exams back on your day and does not care if there is already an exam for lab that day. The homework questions are too much. The textbook is hardly of use. Never again.

Dr. Lugo is a great teacher, she is kind, caring, and is amazing in lectures. She doesn't give reviews for her lecture tests, but the sapling is pretty much the review, she does give reviews for the lab tests, which are free-response (so she can give partial credit). Her PP are amazing and if you just go to class she explains it all in simple terms

She is awesome. If you do your homework, you will understand the material and no need long time to study for the test. In fact, I only spend around 30 minutes before every test and get a good grade. This is college, guy. If you are not study, you will receive bad grade, so blame yourself, don't blame the professor, duh!

Dr. Lugo is the most amazing teacher EVER! I took her for both Chem 1411 and 1412. The class is hard, but she will make you fall in love with chemistry! Sapling is a much, and go to the SI sessions. She does not bend on her rules, but she loves her students and really wants everyone to be successful in her class. Utilize her office hours. LOVE HER!

Gen Chem 2 is a difficult math-heavy subject and so much harder than 1411. Lab is worth too little for the amount of work you do. Sapling HWK felt like an obstacle, not complementary to learning. Bonus q's on on lec tests are your extra credit, which are very hard! Tro book doesn't help with the Equilibrium. SLC/her office hours is what saved me.

Chem is hard overall. But Dr Lugo is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. She goes the extra mile to make it easy for you to learn. She makes songs, rhymes and gives you tricks for memorizing stuff. She is a tough grader but she is organized and her PPWs are all you need. You have to work to earn your A but if you put in the effort you will be fine.

Dr. Lugo is a great teacher. She goes through the material fast, so look over the powerpoint before class. Also, do the homework as soon as you get out of class. What you get on the homework reflects what you get on the test. If you have questions or don't understand something go to her and she will help during office hours. (Read labs do prelab!

This class is impossible to do well in if you don't spend 4-6 hours doing it every single day. I took this online as campus was closed for Covid and her video lectures were long and heavy. You have to do end of chapter problems and Sapling. So much Sapling. Lugo is kind, gentle, and encouraging. She as a human is amazing. Chemistry is not.

If you want to learn chemistry, don't mind putting in 3-5 hours of hmwk/lab each week, and want to have fun, TAKE HER! Only negative is she gets behind a lil!

Dr Lugo is very sweet and you can tell she cares for every one of her students. Her material is very hard tho. If you are taking other classes along her Chem class you have to study so much in this one. There are 4 lecture exams, 2 lab exams, and then the lecture final. There are no reviews for the test , she will say the homework is your review.
