Of course o.chem is not an easy class, but Dr. Lee is always willing to help during office hours and most times beyond that. The first test is always scary, but i say just study and good things will come. I think ratemyprofessor.com should kick out all these people who just leave complaints, not reviews! Bottom line, he helps who shows the will

Hard class, hard teacher. Er, he's so/so. Lectures directly from the book. If you study a lot you won't come out so bad, still hard though.

Dr. Lee is a good teacher who is available for help when needed. His tests are difficult, but let's face it, OCHEM is a difficult subject no matter who teaches it. His lectures are related to the book. Plan on studying a lot no matter which professor you take, OCHEM is a wake-up call for a lot of students. I recommend him if he keeps teaching OCHEM

Hard class no matter what. He is available for help and I'm pretty sure there are a lot tougher teachers than Lee, so if you're not ready to handle tough teachers, don't plan on majoring in any science for that matter. Just study a lot and take responsibility for your grades, and you'll come out fine.

Well I do "reccomend" Dr. Lee for OCHEM. OCHEM is not an easy class by any means, but he is available to help. You must study and read the book, as well as attend lectures. His homeworks online tell you what you need to know not only for tests, but for OCHEM 2.

i dont know what these people are talking about.... he has always made time to answer my questions during office hours. he is a great teacher, but will not hand u an A u have to work for it. these jokers are just mad cuz they failed his class due to thier own shortcomings

I took Dr. Lee last fall for O-chem 1. He does care about his students despite what the others have said. O-chem is a DIFFICULT course and there is no such thing as an easy O-chem professor. He is helpful and he does curve.

Organic chemistry is a tough class but Dr. Lee is very concerned about each one of his students. I pestered him all through the semester and not once did he refuse to help. He likes to push his students to their limits and truly prepares them for ochem 2. I really enjoyed his class and you have to work to get the grade you want.

You have to go to class or you will get behind. A lot of the examples from the book will show up on the quiz or test. When he tells you to open the book at the specific page number mark it down. There will be challenge questions, make sure you do it, might be on the test! Really hard class, but he will hell you. He is nice overall.

Chem 241 is a really hard class, but Dr.Lee is good at making difficult concepts understandable. I dont know why there are so many bad rating for him. If you go to office hour, do your homework, go to class, you'll be fine. He cares about his student and he always willing to help. Take him. :)

Dr. Lee is the best Chem prof I've had. O-chem is a hard class, lots to learn, but he is so intelligent and teaches so well. I got an A, and I'll tell you how: Do all the questions for each chapter (up to the assigned ones), don't miss class, take all the notes, and do the practice exams and practice questions he posts online. Excellent professor

Dr. Lee is so nice and funny! He's a great teacher also! If you are going to take the MCAT or any other tests that includes O-chem, take Lee for sure! People talk about how hard his tests are, but there is a generous curve so everybody actually gets really good grades! My O-chem 2 professor was Bae and I wish I could have had Lee for part 2!!!!

Reputation as being difficult is wrong. His lectures are engaging, well-prepared, and there is a reason for everything he does/says. O-chem takes practice and time and he gives you the tools to solve even the most difficult problems. Do the suggested problems and handouts and create a circle of support. Oh and go to benzene church on Sundays.

Great teacher! He does go fast sometimes, but that's because there's so much to cover. His explanations are easier to understand and often more in depth than the book. He gives you the tools you need to solve any ochem problem. Of course, you have to do your part and study, but that should be obvious.

Dr. Lee is the best ochem professor I could have had.Pay 120% attention in his lectures and take good notes.His tests ARE hard, but my strategy to top scores is that go over the last few homework problems that he assigns for each chapter.Those will most likely be tought problems. But He WILL put some of those questions on the tests.

DO ALL THE HW! and don't assume that if he's teaching 241 that he will also be teaching 242. My best advice for ochem is to stay with the same professor. Overall, Lee is a great teacher. Don't be intimidated to go to his office hours although they're usually crowded. PAY ATTENTION and take good notes.

Good prof but he is hard. Attendance is not mandatory but you should go. Although he is hard he is a really good teacher.

Great professor. The class can be a little changeling but as long as you do all the assingned problems and problems in the book you will be fine since they are very similar to the test questions some are even the same. I would recommend going to class since some of the stuff he talks about he puts on the tests.

do not listen to comments below! they are probably students who do not put work into class! most of his stuff comes right off of the hw problems. If you want to succeed in the standardized tests (mcat/dat) take LEE! He is the best professor at UNLV! ochem just requires more time than other classes!

Dr. lee wants his students to succeed! Go to office hours! He is the best ochem professor at unlv (because he actually teaches). his tests are hard but totally doable because there is nothing in there that he doesen't talk about! After taking this class I actually thought about switching my major to chem because he really made me love this subject

The textbook is your bible!!! Read it and do every single problem along the way. I found the checkpoint problems were particularly helpful. Dr. Lee is awesome, however challenging. I would take him again if he taught 242.

I owe a lot of my success in Ochem 1 & 2 to this prep class. Dr. Lee explains the beginning concepts that you will need to succeed in Ochem 1 & 2 very clearly. Overall Dr. Lee is a great professor and I recommend this class to anyone taking summer Ochem.

Dr. Lee is the best professor I have had at UNLV. I took him for CHEM 240X and 241, but he was not able to teach Ochem II. I took another professor and I still pulled an A, but the experience was not as pleasant. You will learn so much more taking Ochem from Dr. Lee. He explains the concepts and focuses on understanding rather than memorizing.

If you want to genuinely learn ochem, take Dr. Lee. He's a fantastic and helpful professor and he genuinely wants to see everyone pass this course. If you do the optional homework problems and the practice exams you should get no less than a B. It's a lot of work but I learned to appreciate it, and he made the subject bearable!

Dr. Lee is one of the best professors that I have taken at UNLV. He understands that Organic Chemistry is a difficult subject, but he gives you all of the tools you need to really understand the concepts. His exams are challenging, but it is worth it if you really want to learn ochem. There has never been a dull lecture, and he's very helpful.

I owe it to Dr. Lee to write this review. O-chem is a very demanding course, but Dr. Lee works incredibly hard to help you understand it. Granted, you will spend hours studying on your own, but the juice is worth the squeeze. If you work and study like Dr. Lee expects, you will truly understand o-chem. Best professor there is. A model educator.

Dr. Lee is the best professor I've ever taken. Go to his office hours and he will be your best friend, he's super approachable and really cares about those who want to learn. Ochem is a tough subject, you can't get around that fact. He focuses on understanding. You need the book big-time and his questions come from it. Final is basically a 4th test

The level of ochem doesn't change no matter who you take it with. Dr. Lee does the best he can to make sure you understand. Don't worry about the grade. This class is all effort, the more you put in to actually practice the skills, the grade will reflect that. Ochem is more you than him but you have to put in the effort and dedication, "just do it"

Do not fall behind! Get very clear instructions on how you should study and do the homework. You must dissect and work slowly through everything. He tries to help students and make jokes, but he won't teach the subject. He expects you to have read and know the chapter and he does examples in class. Exam & quizzes are straight from your notes & book

Dr. Lee is one of the best professors that I have ever taken. He genuinely cares about his students learning the material and really wants you to do well in the class. Just like any Ochem course, you need to STUDY STUDY STUDY in order to do well. Your grade in his class reflects your effort level, so don't get discouraged at first.

He is probably the best choice to take 241 with. I was honestly scared at first but he is not bad at all! Do all the homework problems (not graded) and do all the practice exams and you shall do fine on the exams. He doesn't give partial points but prove to him that you're a good student and you will earn the grade you deserve.

First of all, organic chemistry is an overall extremely challenging subject. Professor Lee really makes it clear of what you need to study, and lectures great. Always DO THE HOMEWORK, go to class and PAY ATTENTION, or I guarantee you'll fail. See him in office hours, he's a nice guy and will gladly help you on anything you're struggling with.

Dr. Lee is the best ochem professor. He's clear with what he's testing you on. Most difficult class but read the book and practice constantly! He's there to help you succeed and very understanding. No hw, 4 quizzes, 4 exams. Just practice the problems in the book and it will save your grades. I'm really glad I took him and succeeded.

Best ochem professor on campus. A very difficult class and YOU are required to work very hard for it. He's knowledgable, caring, and very straightforward with his exams. Most of the things you see on the exams, he has shown you in class, or in the book. You have to put in the effort to practice after lectures to succeed, not him.

I took him for both ochem 1 and 2. Honestly o chem is difficult. This will be the hardest class that you have ever taken in college so far. You will need to treat ochem like it is a part time job and do your part. Take doctor lee, he explains everything well and wants to help you. Be sure to read the book and ask him questions. You can do it!!

Best professor I've EVER had. Always hated chem but he made me learn to love O chem. Builds very well on concepts. Explains in detail and with great clarity. Participate in class, do the hw repeatedly, and go to office hours! Easy if you put in the work. Great professor and cares! Your grade is an accurate reflection of your effort.

Favorite professor ever! Engages with his students in class and is willing to explain. Ochem was definitely difficult. Better than Kang who just teaches straight out the book, but Lee's test are definitely more challenging. Definitely super encouraging. You get a study guide. Prepares you well for the standardized test.

Best ochem teacher ever, hands down. This class is extremely difficult but getting A is possible if you listen to him. Be ready to put the hours and work for it. Dr. Lee is very kind, knowledgable, funny and patient. Tests are fair and straightforward. He tells you exactly what's he looking for. Students love him and you'll know why. Read the book!

Dr. Lee makes ochem fun, interesting, and easy to digest. The materials are hard and you have to put in the work. He's caring, accessible, and wants students to do well. There's a reason why he's well loved by his students. Tests are hard but fair. Thank you Dr. Lee for everything you've taught us. Ochem wouldn't be the same with someone else.

Im really glad that I took ochem 1&2 with Dr. Lee. He really cares if his students are learning and always wants the class to participate during lecture. Very difficult class, but just put in the time and effort to go to class and do the homework and study guide. If youre really struggling, go to office hours, hes always willing to help.

Dr. Lee is hands down the best ochem professor I have ever had. He tries his best to make class interesting, hes fun, caring, easy to understand with the slightest accent. He also works through problems with the class instead of just reading from the textbook. Ochem is hard no matter what, but your chances of succeeding are best with him.

Dr. Lee is the best OChem professor. He is caring and willing to slow down the pace of lecture to make sure that people have good understanding of the material. He workout problems in class and accessible during office hours. If you want to do well:go to class, participate in class, do the homework & study guide, and form a study group

ochem is a difficult subject. if you attend lecture, STUDY YOUR LIFE AWAY, and do the practice problems, youll be fine. i think all the professors are equal in quality, you just have to know that ochem is not memorizing things, you have to study and LEARN. there comes a point where its on the student and not the professors. good luck :)

Attendance is non mandatory but it is difficult to understand the material without attending. Exams are difficult but he gives a study guide with no answers, most are found on the textbook, but several are never mention in the textbook. There are no partial points in exam. He explains things well, easier to master ochem by doing every HW Q's.

He was a great professor. Ochem is hard regardless, but his exams are very straightforward. Do ALL the homework, pay attention in lecture, LEARN mechanisms, do the practice exams (they are VERY similar to exams) and go to office hours if you need extra help. An A is definitely achievable, but you will have to work for it.

Dr. Lee is a very good professor. He has 10+ yrs. of experience teaching organic chemistry, so he has a very honed & principle-oriented teaching style. Class is very interactive-- lots of questions & problems. His exams are difficult and timed, but similar to the practice exams he gives out, with examples & problems from the textbook. He curves.

Goes above and beyond to help students succeed. Very patient, passionate & above all caring. Do homework, sit in on office hours, ask questions. If you are unsure about mechanisms HE WILL LOGICALLY WALK YOU THROUGH with clarity. Utilize ochem roadmaps, rules/exceptions given to you during lectures. It will help you tremendously!

I had Dr Lee precovid and failed, because I did not do what he says, read, study notes and do the homework at least 3 time. Even then, I would still give him an A+ rating because the fault was my own. I took him for 242 and got an A, why? I did what he said, read, study his notes and do the HW at least 3 times. Ochem is not hard, if you do the work

Its a tough subject no matter who you take but Lee is a great guy. Super respectful and nice. DO THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS and youll be fine. 4 quizzes 4 exams. All problems come from the homework. Reagents will be mixed together and different abbreviations will be used to try and trick you a little but if you know the mechanisms then youll be good.

Dr. Lee is a solid choice for ochem, he was so much better than the prof I had for ochem1. He made things very straightforward. All I did was watch his lectures, read the textbook if I needed more info, and did his suggested homework problems. Definitely know all of the reagents and have an understanding of the mechanisms and you'll be fine

Dr. Lee is the best & nicest Professor at UNLV. His expectations & lectures are clear. The hmw he assigns from the book & practice from lecture prepare you for his exams. Hes more than happy to answer questions & help his students. He did curve for spring 2021. Dr. Lee for ochem is the best! Its still a hard class so you have to put in the work.

Dr. Lee gets a bad wrap, but so do all of the OChem professors. Dr. Lee is very friendly but business like and that seems to put off a lot of students. Follow his lectures/record them/ask questions, he puts a lot of the "suggested problems" on his exams and quizzes. He usually gives out a practice exam and anywhere between 50-75% are on the exams.

Ochem 1 is a hard class but its doable with Dr. Lee. For me, I watched the lecture & did the hw twice (actually understanding how to do each question is crucial). A couple exam questions would resemble HW questions. Lectures were pretty decent but I used the book to understand better. Practicing over and over is key. Would recommend for Ochem 1.

Dr. Lee is amazing! His tests r hard but all of the test material are straight from his notes, the end of chapter problems, and the additional problem sets he makes. Pro tip: GO TO OFFICE HOURS. His office hours are where you can have a close to 1-1 learning opportunity. He may be harder than Kang, but he genuinely wants you to understand Ochem 1.

The majority of exam questions come directly from lecture, recommended problems, study guides, and past quizzes. Go to office hours to review practice problems/quizzes, even if you like to self-study. He will not test you on anything in the textbook he does not go over in class. However, he will test you on mechanisms/reagents not in the textbook.

Dr. Lee really loves ochem. Difficult subject but he does a good job of trying to make it interesting. Only grades come from quizzes and tests, questions come directly from lectures and practice problems so take good notes in class and do the suggested problems. Even though I hate ochem, I would take Dr. Lee again.

Ochem is an extremely difficult subject. Dr. Lee's exams are a testament to this; our class averages were in the low 50%'s. With that being said, Dr. Lee's lectures, while fast-paced, were informative and fairly engaging. He legitimately cares about student understanding and success, rare for a professor nowadays. Go to office-hours, go to lecture.

I've gotten to know Dr. Lee over the semester, and I think he's one of my favorite professors I've had so far. He told me EXACTLY how I needed to study bc I averaged a 45% on all of the exams, but for the last exam I managed to get a 73%, and I think that proved to him that I deserved to pass. He's generous w/ the curve if you put in the effort.

Practice the mechanisms and do what he says. Ochem is straight forward when you study it correctly. Highly recommend Dr. Lee

Objectively he is a good professor. He does cover a lot in his lectures but it's not his fault, it's ochem itself. I didn't know how to study properly in ochem 1 but after taking Lee, he gave me some studying tips that brought my test average from below 50% to 70-80%. He won't test you on mechanisms but still goes over them.

The exams themselves were quite difficult with averages in my semester ranging from 40 to 50%, he does provide a curve at the end. His office hours are very helpful and he does meetings by appointment as well as answers any questions through email. He does not use lecture slides and only uses a whiteboard which makes the lectures hard to follow.

Dr Lee is great. His exams are straight from the book, mainly the end of chapter problems. As he says do the book 3 times before the exam and you will be just fine. He also has a nice curve. Just study as much as you need. A great sense of humor as well.
