He makes a difficult topic bearable with his enthusiasm. He always makes time to be available outside of class via facebook, email, and office hours for his students. He wants us to succeed but also wants us to be active in our learning. Too many students take advantage of him and complain about trivial things which is too bad.

Benny was our lab professor for winter chem 102 and honestly he is one of the kindest, most patient professors i've had in my years of taking chemistry. he never makes you feel dumb for not knowing anything and is always patient with you if you ask for help, and he always replies to emails super fast.

Benny was my lab professor and he was honestly one of the best lab profs I've ever had. He would always be pretty clear with his expectations of our work and experiments, he would always give me another chance to double check anything that might be wrong. If there were any extra time then he's more than happy to help you with anything done in lec.

Benny was an approachable prof. He was my lab instructor for chem101 summer section. It was 5 weeks, so it ran fast but he made the class bearable. Even he taught lab but he answers all the lecture materials when we need help. Take him to learn. It was 5w class but it was fun because we met each other everyday. I miss everyone!

Profesor Ng is very good teacher. Many make fun of him for his accent, but this man is an immigrant who worked very hard to get to where he is at a very young age and he won't stop helping you until you understand. I took him for lab during a 5 week sessions, and he made sure he had office hours even after lab finished to help students understand.

I took Benny for Chem 102 Lab during the 5 week summer session. He was a wonderful professor and was very helpful and patient. If you don't understand something he will spend time explaining a concept until you understand it. You are graded on the results of your lab so make sure to pay attention to little details and ask lots of questions.

HANDSS DOWNNN best lab professor to take. I had him for chem 102 during summer never liked lab as I did with him. he helps a lot inside class and in office hours. Also if you have questions about lecture, he'll definitely help you. He's so chill and makes jokes. he's a friend and teacher to his students. :)

Benny is a great lab professor. He also helps us with lecture stuffs. He finds the best way to help us understand the materials. Trust me, you cannot find another one that is patient and caring for his students like this professor. Definitely recommend !!!

Benny was an excellent lab professor. Very detailed, and he made you think! Didn't spoon feed you the answers. He was always available for extra help preparing for the lecture exams. He is a tough grader on the lab reports.. READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY AS WRITTEN and you will be fine. He has a very dry sense of humor! :)

The exams are tough. They require you to work very fast which is extremely difficult because you do not have enough time to comprehend what is being asked (many do not finish). Lab reports required for the last 4-5 experiments. Hes very meticulous about grading lab reports so make sure to really work on those. Overall, hes very nice and witty.

Dr . Benny is very straight forward, helpful outside of class, and most of all expects you to put in the work to succeed in his class. He honestly never discourages a student if they never do good in an exam. Instead, he motivates and pushes them to succeed. I honestly really respect him as a professor and am glad I took his class.

Professor Benny is nice. Most people gave him bad reviews because they think they will just come to class and will get an easy A. Professor Benny want you to think and he makes you work for your grade. If you are giving him a bad review you either did not turn in your paper on time or you haven't studied enough.

You just have to study and finish your work on time. If you dont understand soemthing go to his office hours.

If you study, and do everything you are supposed to do, you will do well.

Dr. Benny is the best! I took him for chem 101 over summer 2018 and had him for lab. He was very nice, knowledgeable and cared for each of his students. We had a report for lab due almost everyday and the 5 weeks course was intense, but Dr. Benny definitely prepared us. He's so nice and I had a great experience. I would definitely recommend him!

I had Dr. Benny for lecture, lab, and workshop. He is very organized and prepared. His lectures consisted of menti/kahoots which had students participate in a really fun way. For his labs he would provide an outline which made things easier. His workshops were mainly for homework. Overall great professor! I'm definitely going to miss him!

Took him in fall, found very knowledgeable, humble and alway s available for you if you need help. Test are hard but its for all Chemistry. But, atlease this time i found good teacher, only 3 exam and final (no more quizzes) labs are easy to avail points. Kahoot and menti are good way of learning, makes more intresting!!! he should teach chemistry.

AMAZING. Would take him again any time. Took laboratory with him and had honor of attending few of his classes. Nobody makes chemistry seem as easy and interesting as he does. Extremely helpful, patient and clear in explaining. Respects his students.

He is the best teacher I've ever had.

People will tell you not to take this class but DONT listen. if you want any easy A Benny isnt the prof for you. If you want to learn skills that will help you in life then this is the class for you. Benny is very clear with his teachings and exams. If you mess around he wont take it but if you show youre really trying he will help you succeed.

Professor Benny is one of those people that continues to give you hope, real hope. He is going down as my all time favorite professor no matter what. He cares so so deeply for his students. He will do EVERYTHING he can to make you pass. The most understanding and intelligent chemistry professor every. He is the kind of person that inspires you.

Dr. Benny has such a kind heart & genuinely wants the best for his students. This does not mean it's an easy class. You must work hard. Benny really pushes his students to obtain the material taught. He gives opportunities to do better in the class, and is always willing to help! Go to office hours! He's very understanding and a true inspiration!

TAKE DR. BENNY! You wont regret it, makes you work hard for your grade, but he really wants the best for his students. Dont be scared to ask for help, he wants you to succeed!!

Benny is one of the few professors I've had that genuinely cares about helping students learn everything they can. The material is difficult, but he gives you everything you need. Tons of sample problems and posts practice exams with rotating questions. Some exam questions are taken straight from the homework. Just put in the work!

Benny is a good teacher, and I will say I understand more about chemistry than I ever have. That being said, his course is challenging, but not impossible. I am not a chemistry person, but I am passing and will likely get a B in the course. He pushes his class hard, but he is a very present professor and tries his best to help students learn.

After taking Benny I have mixed feelings. He is one of the most knowledgeable chemistry professor at Pierce and its clear he has high standards. He wants you to EARN the grade. If you're taking him, you need to WORK. Don't avoid him though, he will definitely make you a better student.

Professor Benny class can be hard due to heavy loads of homework and lots of materials you need to digest but you learn so much! He will help you if you ask him politely with reasonable questions. Overall, he is a smart and passionate professor I have ever met.

I took Professor Benny in the winter and let me tell you it was probably one of the hardest classes Ive taken. Although it was a hard class it was doable. You have to do a lot of your own learning so you get a better understanding of the things he teaches because his lectures were a bit quick paced. Passed with an A and definitely learned a lot.

Yes, he's a tough grader and he expects you to work your butt off for your grade. People were complaining they weren't getting As and they only studied maybe 5 hours for his tests when people who were getting As did 40+ hours of studying. He literally makes himself available 24/7 outside of class, even answering emails at 2am. Get ready to work.

Dr. Benny is awesome, had him as my lab prof online over summer session A. The assignments are clear to follow, and you are given lots of opportunities to get a perfect score on them. Dr. Benny works really hard to promptly return grades and feedback. One of my favorite professors at Pierce.

I took him for the online lab section this summer(I got an A in the lab). You have to work very hard, but he is willing to help you as much as he can! He helped me troubleshoot some excel issues over email for hours, literally past midnight. He want to see you succeed & is very polite! Just don't procrastinate so you can put 100% into every lab.

I took Dr. Ng a while ago, but I was reminded of him when I saw a viral video of snoop dogg telling students to read the course syllabus. Dr. Ng is a really enthusiastic person and knows a lot about chemistry in general. When class was still in person, I would go to his office hours and he could answer any chemistry question I could think of.

Dr. Benny lead a great semester for chem 102! He puts in a lot of effort into his students, I dont know how people can dislike the guy. If you do, you probably didnt try hard enough to get an A. Getting an A was very easy I only did well on the first 2 exams and then needed a 72+ on the final to keep my A. Just do the usual and youll be fineeeee

Dr. Benny is a great professor! Chem 102 is a tough class and although the tests were nothing like what we were taught in the lecture notes, I failed every single test and still got a B! Through getting amazing grades on the HW and labs you can still get a good grade in this class because he weighs exams less than assignments!

I loved taking CHEM 102 with Dr. Benny! Although his exams are pretty tough and usually hard to do in short amount of time, I was still able to pass the class with a B. I did all my homework and lab assignments on time which helped me drastically in keeping a good grade in the class. I recommend to manage your time and study to pass this class.

Exams are hard and their points are all or nothing, but exams are weighted very lightly compared to HW and lab. Uses Proctorio. Be comfortable learning on your own, do all the homework, and do your best on the exams and you will receive a satisfactory result. Prof was consistently fast with emails and helpful during office hours.

Throughout the course of taking Dr. Bennys chem 102 class, my respect for chemistry grew so much. This class taught me so much discipline and appreciation toward things I would not have noticed otherwise. Dr. Benny is a true intellectual and taking this class will make you really appreciate the value of hard work. Overall amazing!

This class is really hard. I do believe that benny is a good professor. He communicates and gives us lots of resources. I just don't recommend taking him online. I feel as though his standards are held to as if we were in the actual classroom, and thats hard when we're still forced to work from home.

Of all the classes I've taken throughout CA at CC and UC, I can honestly say that Dr. Benny is the best professor I have had. His class is tough so I wouldn't recommend it over summer unless it is ALL you are doing. He cares so much, encourages, and pushes you. Make time to meet with him and get ready to dedicate many hours to his class. Worth it

This guy teaches! He makes tou work for your grade, but you'll know chemistry coming out of his class.

Benny will give consistent encouragement and responds super fast if you have any questions. The course is tough, but rewarding in that you'll definitely be learning good study habits, which will take you far in the long run.

Dr. Benny is a caring professor that prepares you but the course is not an easy A. Work is challenging but create a good schedule throughout the semester so you wont fall behind. Exams are the hardest but Professor gives partial credit. Focus extremely on ALEKS. As long as you do well on other assignments, bad test grade wont hurt too bad overall.

Great professor. Very difficult and very demanding class but who expects the last chem class before O-chem to be an easy A? Work your butt off and you may learn a valuable lesson! You will learn how to rely on study groups and office hours. He puts tons of effort into his classes. Makes himself available at all hours through the night.

Professor Benny is truly a hidden gem. If you want to really learn chemistry and grow up in maturity and discipline, then take him! This is a challenging class but if you organize yourself in the first week of the semester regarding schedule, YOU CAN DO IT! He is very helpful during classes and doesn't hesitate to help those who are interested.

Dr. Benny is a rare type of professor: He truly cares for his students and where their understanding is on Chemistry. He is tough with respect challenging you when you have a question, it is not out of spite, it always leads to good discoveries and "ah-ha" moments. Frankly, He is one of my favorite professors in STEM hands down.

the weekly workload was pretty heavy and tedious and he will not hesitate to remove points if not done correctly. Despite this, he will help you if you need help. Email him or go to his office hours: he may be condescending about it but he will help and does genuinely care for his students. Don't take if you want an easy professor

Professor Benny's exam questions are on his lecture videos, practice his sample questions multiple times and make sure you understand it 100%. - Stay on top of ALEKS, Lab, and lecture homeworks to pass the class. He is a great professor and he surely cares. - Make sure you save your ALEKS work for knowledge check. - Be organized.

Dr. Benny is an AMAZING professor. He is extremely passionate in what he's teaching. I HIGHLY recommend going to his office hours, he is very patient and helpful. I withdrew due to the time constraint of a 5-wk course, but I would have loved to take his class during 16wks. He is a tough professor, but STEM classes are meant to be challenging!

Prof Benny is super knowledgeable and takes time to explain things very in depth. He does try to work with you and help you understand the material. The class is tough PERIOD. He grades realistically. STEM classes are meant to be tough. You can tell he cares and is passionate- just have to care and be passionate and apply yourself or you will fail.

This class had lecture online with in person lab. Online science lectures are tough but if you have to do it his class is good he breaks it into short videos that are done well. He is always willing to help , extremely patient and caring. tough class if you focus hard from the get go you'll get through . 2 quizzes a week drops lowest exam.

I really enjoyed how everything worked—the extra credit, ALEKS, they were all good resources and helpful. It was a difficult class as chemistry itself is difficult, but he was super helpful and encouraging with providing studying resources and helpful tips for memorization and road maps. The hard work you put in will pay off!

I highly recommend this class! The professor is fair with grading and offers extra credit to help boost your grade. As long as you stay focused and complete your assignments, you'll do well. The professor is always available to help and is very kind, ensuring you understand the material. I 100% recommend this class for a rewarding experience!

Dr Benny is amazing! I took his hybrid class. As long as you watch his lecture videos, do Aleks, weekly online quiz, attend workshop you'll do great. He's very helpful and offers extra credit.

For a first time taking chem since Highschool this class was a bit challenging but totally passable if you really pay attention to what is being taught. Dr. Benny offers A LOT of extra credit and is always willing to help during class hours or workshops. Be prepared to do a lot of math and memorization, highly recommend this professor.

Dr. Benny is a great Chemistry professor. He cares a lot about his students. The negative reviews are probably from those who didn't even care to do the work or visit Dr. Benny's office hours for extra help. Yes, there is a lot of ALEKS homework to do, but it only benefits you. Do the work, go to office hours, and participate. You'll be fine.

If you take the class seriously and know the concepts, you will be fine. Just do your best.

People don't give Dr Benny the credit he deserves as he is a great professor who genuinely cares for his students, if you put in the time and have a strong work ethic you'll be sure to ace his class. Has really helpful office hours that are three hours long and will answer all of your questions.

Professor Benny's class is challenging, but engaging. The exams are tough, so stay on top of ALEKS, homework, and practice problems. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for study prep. Overall, a rewarding experience if you're willing to put in the work.

Dr. Benny gave thorough lectures and lots of opportunity for extra credit. He also was very understanding when it came to late work which was so helpful during a busy semester. I can tell that he really cares about student success and I appreciate all he did to make this difficult class less stressful. 100% would take another class with him

Dr Benny was a very good professor, and very helpful. His office hour would help me better understand the material and clear any questions that I had! Also very funny, understanding, and relatable professor. Just be ready to do lots of work!!

I haven't rated Professor Benny yet, but I took him during the Fall semester of last year. His lectures were online videos and his homework consisted of a paid website called ALEKS (be prepared to be doing this all week). Exams were all in person. Be prepared to study a lot of topics for each exam. Final cumulative exam at the end of the semester.

I took this during the summer session and have no complaint. A trend I notice is people biting off more than they can chew + balancing their own life and taking it out on him in their reviews. The work is just the right amount to prepare you for studying and learning at a college level. This is not a math class so do not expect to just fill in ?'s

Dr Benny is a great professor and really cares for his students. If you put in the time and do the homework and are engaged you will do well in this class. If you are having trouble with his class go to office hours, Professor benny listens and is extremely helpful and doesn't make you feel stupid when you have questions.

It's crazy when you realize one bitter student is spamming hundreds and hundreds of professors at different LA colleges and making up stories and insulting the professor. You'll realize that Professor Ng is nothing like this student's made-up stories about this

1-3 hours of lectures per week (2x speed and skipping his problem explanations can cut down to 10-30 minutes). 1 hour of ALEKs problems that are really not all that complex per week. As long as you watch lectures and pay attention during the zoom meetings, it's an easy A. He seems to be awake all day because he will respond to emails very quickly
