Dr. Lu was an exceptional teacher. She was organized and explained all topics in detail. She prepared the class well and made clear explanations for any questions. Although summer class schedule is so condensed I still enjoyed her teaching this class.
She is great! She helped us work on the practice exams before the real exams. Exams were easy if you read over her practice exams. Chemistry is hard, but she just made it easy!
We weren't required to buy a lab manual. Lectures were hard to follow.I would sit through class for 30 minutes and still not know what was going on. The power point slides are a little confusing. Self-teaching a must! However, she does try to help. If you can't follow her lectures,the practice exams and homework are good to prepare for the test.
She is a really awesome teacher. She is very helpful, especially when it comes to the questions. She came to class ready to answer any questions we had and made chemistry much more interesting. Her tests are easy if you study and pay attention to the practice exams. I got A's in all the three tests... If you are looking for a teacher to take Chemis
The negative comments are not accurate. Remember this is a difficult subject. I think Dr. Lu is a very helpful teacher. Might not be crystal clear always but does her best to explain you. Her exams are easy if you work on the practice exam and you are allowed to drop one lowest test grades! Plus she gives you a lot of opportunity for extra credits.
Dr. Lu is very helpful! Highly recommended! She is so knowledgeable in organic chemistry, I guess that?s because she had Ph.D. in organic chemistry? Her teaching style really helped me to understand the material and her tips and tricks are so cool!
Dr. Lu is my best Chemistry teacher ever! She is accommodating and explains things very clearly. I love her methods of solving problems. She is soooooo cool!
Her class is very easy. All the materials like her PowerPoint, homework, practice exams and keys, are on her Leaning web. Practice exams are almost similar to the real exams, and you can drop one lowest score. Plus she is always trying her best to help us to learn and get good grade. I got an easy A!!!
The chem 1411 is easier b/c she give the key to the homework but in organic she does things differtent be prepared.
She is an awesome teacher that made the course simple and easy. Her lecture is very clear and the slides cover everything. There is always opportunity for extra credits. Like her examples and summaries very much!!
Very easy course. It was not very interesting since Prof. Lu had to repeat the slides many times because some students could not comprehend the information. I'll be taking her 1412 in the summer!
Dr. Lu is very responsible to students. She clarifies things to help you get a full understanding. I previously took this course and then dropped it, but taking it again under her, I understand a lot of concepts that I'd struggled with in the past. Her practice tests and homework are also very helpful. I got an A! You can't go wrong!
At first i thought she was a quack teacher.However the fault lied with me. It was the time I took her that made it seem boring.I was determined to at least pull a B out my ass so I turned an imminent D TO AN A!! I ACTUALLY STARTED LISTENING TO HER AND EVERYTHING MADE SENSE!! SHE CAN TEACH, ASK QUESTIONS DON'T FOLLOW PEER PRESSURE RAISE YOUR HAND!!
A teacher that actually teaches!!
Take her and learn. She is very helpful. Org 1 is not easy but she breaks it down for u. Good teaching method. She has her own tricks to memory stuff easily. She does give the review b4 the test. Knowledgeable, young, easy going and cool. Raise your hand if you have question. But I think her test is still in college's level, not university's level.
She really knows how to teach Chemistry. Make hard material to become easy to remember. She speaks with accent, but it is not that bad. You will understand her better than you study from some prof from U of H. Trust me. Take her and you will not regret.
Dr. Lu is an amazing Organic Chem teacher! I took this class in Summer 2010. Plenty of extra credit opportunities available and gives reviews before every test. No textbook required because her reviews are VERY similar to the exam. Practice the review and you should do well!
Really good teacher makes things easier than they appear. Would recommend her
I don't see how everytone keeps saying this lady is nice! There is a lot of extra credit, just make sure if you take her you are willing to never miss and never be late. She will call you out in the middle of class when you ask a question. If as one outside class, she says that she isn't a tutor. I pay tuition I EXPECT MY QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED.
i have to agree with the one below the last one. she needs to understand her students needs and not be so egotistical. i asked her where i could get tutoring. she had the audacity to tell me I wouldnt find someone as "good as her." seriously??
The negative comments are unfair. I took her with both 1411 and 1412 but I have NEVER seen she called student out in the class. Instead, she is very helpful when I ask her questions. Her practice problems are pretty consistent with the real exams, plus she offers a lot of extra credit. Most importantly, she cares about her students' successes.
Beware! Summer session goes really fast! She has a slight accent, but it's not that bad. Chem is not an easy subject, but she trys to makes it clear. Study the notes and pp every DAY. If you don't, you'll really lag. She hates answering questions and tends to get anger when students ask her in class. Attendance is mandatory!
Great Prof! Chem 2 is a difficult class but she really broke the material down into steps which are easy to understand. She tries to make sure everyone understands every concept. Nice personality and knowledgeable. If you do the homework and practice exams, you should do well in the class. Would recommend everyone take her.
Lu is an awesome teacher. The content is hard and requires indepth studying. Let's face it, this is college, do not expect professors to babysit you. I will recommend her if your willing to study.
She is very helpful for you to pass and get a good grade in 1412. Practice exams and review are similar to those in real test, plus she offers a lot of extra credit. I got an A in her class. Take your chemistry from this lady!
system final wasnt too hard. you get 3 tests and a final, but drops the lowest. homework not too hard. attendance a must. i couldn't understand her accent and at times, she seemed somewhat vindictive toward certain students... just me 2 cents
Dr. Lu is a good teacher! She knows what she's talking about. Explains things well. I love her problem-solving tips! Class itself can be a difficult subject. If you attend lectures and study her practice tests, you should be fine. Strongly recommend her.
I would like to recommend her to everyone. Her teaching is awesome and she explains thing very clearly. If you work hard, you'll get an A very easily. She gives you practice test which is similar to the real test.
This will sound like a paradox, but bear with me. She's nice, but mean, and then nice again. You'll get an A easily, even if you're just borderline C. She gets easily flustered though, and can seem pretty mean, but in the end she's a pushover. Not a great teacher, but she does sort of try. Bottomline, do some work, you'll easily get an A.
I don't know why some people are complaining. She's so sweet! Yes, she does have an accent and sometimes gets ticked off easily, but she tries her best to make you understand. Just make sure you go over all the homework problems and powerpoints, and you'll be good.
Her class was difficult. You need to attend class everyday and not be late. She is favoritism toward some students, if she doesnt like you drop because it only gets worst. Has a bad accent and you got to work super hard!!!
Well before i took the class i went to ratemyprofessor and checked her status. So i took the class and wow she is not what i expected. HORRIBLE!!! Cant understand her! If your late to class she will stare at you uncompfterbly. And her test isnt that easy, you got to work your but off. If your weakness is chem, dont take her.
Dr. Lu is passionate about this course and she really wants everyone to learn it. She always tries to teach and help, explained the course material well. She is the BEST!!! Her exams are mostly from the HWs and practice exams. I will highly recommend her to my friends. Love the way she teaches!!!
Dr. Lu is a very nice lady and a wonderful teacher! Organic chem 2 is a hard subject but she explains in an easy way to understand her lectures. I got an A in her class!! As long as you do your best follow along and pay attention in class, and can do her practice tests and home works, you'll be fine. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credi
Im gonna tell you like this. Organic II is very difficult.I don't know about the other professors but if you want to pass with a good grade TAKE HER!!!! She pulled a rabbit out of the hat. I have NO idea how I got a B! Do your hw!! go to class! She got on my nerves a few times but HANG in there trust me! TAKE HER
Come to class everyday and do the hw and labs, test are just like the review and homework except the final. You will do fine if you do all of the above, got an A!!!
Not a good teacher over the summer. She moves really fast and is rude when you ask questions, especially if you ask questions about something she went over already. She holds grudges if your late and will interrupt class to fuss at late students. Then she'll be in a bad mood the rest of the class.
The Greatest Professor of all time !!!!! She really cute young lady ! Her exams are exactly her review and hw !!!Attendence are mandatory ! I wish all my other professor are like her !
Not a good teacher in the summer. She is too fast and if you dont know chemistry, DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! She expects you to know the stuff already, & although she gives you everything 2 pass, she will not help u if u have questions, rather belittle you for not knowing the information already. If an A is what you want, be ready for a headache & advil
Dr. Lu is very knowledgeable on the subject. She demonstrates her knowledge by explaining the reaction mechanism in details and showing us the easy ways to memorize them. I enjoy learning in her classes.
I appreciate that Dr. Lu teaches from her own perspective of the material, but not just the books. Her notes & practice exams are very helpful and her lectures facilitate learning. Her teaching is professional and she finds easy ways to relate the material so that everyone can understand. Totally hot by the way!
Professor Lu is awesome! She makes the learning process simple and straight-forward. I really like her teaching strategy! Since chemistry isn't easy for everyone so I would have liked that she would slow down a bit and actually make sure we all understand. Overall her lectures are very helpful. Would definitely recommend!
She teaches to the best of my understanding using relevant examples ad references. She is willing to help students in their learning process. Awesome professor! I got an A!!! Give this woman a raise!
She is definitely knowledgeable of chemistry, but gets easily overwhelmed from trying to explain to those who aren't getting it. I took her over the summer course, and overall she is an easy grade BUT ONLY if you really study the material given.
Best professor. Her class is so easy. As long as you study the review and attend her class, you will be good. Easy A class.Take her if you want an A. She makes chemistry become so easy. She is helpful. Willing to help her students.
Dr. Lu is the best ever!! She is very helpful and wants all students to do well. If you come to class and complete the homework, you'll do fine. I got an A!!
Excellent teacher. She teaches in an easy way that everybody can understand. I took her class on summer and she make all the hard part easy. I higly recommend her.
She is kind of rude, other than that her class is an easy A. Just study the review.
Attend class, follow her lead, and do the homework and review. She is blunt, but very smart and knows what to teach you without the extra fluff. Great instructor.
Take her class. I love her.She can be blunt but if keep your feelings at home you will do well. Iwas in the hospital 3 times during the semester and still passed. She is just that helpfull.no extra credit but extra and drop exams will help you a lot.
Ms Lu is an easy going professor. Compared to other chem professors she is easy bcz she is clear with her tests n assignments n doesn't take pleasure in making things harder than it should be. DO THE HOMEWORK n practice exam,THEY HELP SOOO much! Make sure to ace the 1st exam! Lowest test dropped n u hv extra assignments to help boost ur grade!
Attend class, listen, do the homework, exam review, and it should be easy to make a good grade. She is straight forward and gives you the information you need to know. Ms. Lu is very intelligent and answers questions in class and via email promptly.
On of the easiest chemistry prof I'v had, if you did not pass this class you had a problem. Tests came straight from the review, she made sure you understand by going over practice exam after each chapter.
I took for for CHEM 1 & 2. Very straightforward. Do HOMEWORK & PRACTICE EXAM!!! She drops lowest test grade, gives alot of opportunities for extra credit, kind of rude sometimes but whatevs.
I made an A, and science has never been my best subject. She tells you exactly what is the on the exams. You do not need the textbook. She always lets class out early. She teaches little tricks to help make the problem easier. Highly recommend!! :)
Great professor, really knows her stuff. Barely attended class but got an A.just study hmwk and practice test and you'll be sure to pass. Professor Lu is a must take!
She is a terrific instructor and knows her stuff.She lacks a little patience here or there but overall is a caring person. She never once showed favoritism. I am non-Asian female and she was always respectful to me. She is highly organized, gets to the point, and wastes no time with unnecessary stuff. 5-week course: 12 chapters/2 exams/1 final.
Best teacher ever for orgo2 anywhere, I really liked her teaching style, and she's hot, everyone needs to take back all the bad stuff that's been said. She teaches at the perfect pace and straight to the point, exams are easy, practice the mechanisms emphasized in class, look over practice tests and hw, and show up on time. I got an A
Orgo 2. Cannot say enough about her ability, interest, helpfulness. Very clear lectures. Likes prompt attendance, class preparation. Straightforward labs. Homework assignments. Gives practice tests, but modifies actual exams. Likes Orgo 2 students. This class was second-start. It went by quickly. Take her.
GOD! Let me tell you.... I can't say enough about her, truly the best professor that teaches chem! Hcc is so lucky to have her. She knows what she's doing and she delivers the materials with perfection. She makes difficult subject easy. She has her days though, not afraid to call you out for coming in late. Super sweet and funny too!
Took it for General Chem. She WILL teach you a lot of tricks and things to use, but most of the stuff is on you to learn. Her study guides are extremely helpful, her lectures typically highlighted only important points of Chemistry (it was an 8 week class, though). I would take her if you're looking to get the credit out of the way.
Don't take her class if you truly want/need to learn Chemistry!! All she gives are shortcuts. She blows through lecture and does not like answering questions or explaining to those who don't get it. Took a whopping 15 minutes to explain the last chapter (ch. 10) and gave NO example ?'s. You will be teaching yourself Chemistry if you take her class.
Only credit she gets is simplifying the subject. Always on her phone but calls you out for being on yours. Always late-don't expect her to show until 15-20 minutes after class is scheduled to start. Lectures at the speed of light-talks to you like you're stupid if you ask a question. Gives reviews for all exams except the final-makes no sense.
Prof. Lu's teaching method is awesome. She explains with clear examples what you need to know, and an easier way of solving problems. She talks fast so you have to keep up with the pace. The exams are basically the reviews but you have to understand the concept. No need for a textbook, she provides all the materials. Easy A..I'll take her again!
Solid teacher. Straightforward course. Focus hardcore on her reviews, and you'll do fine. I mean, really, I can't imagine I would have done any better with any other professor.
Dr. Lu knows chemistry very well but she needs to brush up on her teaching & social skills because she breezes through the equation formula and expects you to understand its. Students are scared to ask questions because I notice that if a student asked a question, she gets mad and snap back with an answer. Youtube is your best bet...
Passionate about chem but like others have said, breezes through everything quickly. If you ask a question to tie a Chem I concept together with Chem II, she'll say "you should know this, this isn't Chem I, it's not my job to teach that". I wouldn't recommend her unless Chem is already your strongest suit.
Everything in class would be done quickly, even the labs. She teaches you the main things that will be in the exams with her own formulars. Exams are the same with the reviews. Take note carefully everything she explained. Do what she asks you to do and you will be fine. No book needed
She is rude. This class is best for those who know Chem already. It is extremely easy to get A in this class without having to know Chem. You just need to be good imitator. If that's all you want take her. But if you really want to learn Chem, find someone else. Makes you buy tophat $24 just for attendance and some nominal prelab quiz. I got A.
The class goes fast. Don't be absent and try to really pay attention to the lectures.
Professor Lu is awesome. I dropped Chemistry before her because I was failing. Her class is great. 4 exams, final replaces lowest grade, no homework and exams are exactly like her practice exams. study the practice exams and you'll do great. Took her for chem 1&2. wish there were more professors like her! Try to take her mini sessions. go by fast!
Dr. Lu suffers from both a language barrier and an education from a different country. Chem II is a math heavy class, but she completely disregards the Chemistry concepts of the course in favor of having you memorize ways to work out formulas. I feel grossly under-prepared for Organic Chem, but I feel prepared for Calculus II! No homework given.
Took it in 8 week course. Class goes fast, but she explains pretty well each topic. Her class is not difficult, but you need to put time into it and study. She may seem rude at time, but I believe she genuinely cares for her students. Final replaces lowest grades. 4 exams total pretty straight to the point.
she seemed uptight at first but she just wants you to take the class serious. gives great reviews, exactly like her exams. Also helps you prepare for the finals (tells you what concepts to focus on). pay attention when she tells you to. no textbooks, no homework just lab reports. 3 exams, 1 final. show up to class and you'll get an easy A.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Take her if you are okay at chemistry!! Have to study to pass the class. Material is a lot sometimes, but she tells you special tricks and shortcuts to make it easy!! Took in 5 wk course!! She is v good at explaining. Does have an accent, but not too bad. 3 exams, exactly like her practice test. LEARN THOSE. 1 system final!!
She was a very clear teacher who not only made chem easy but also helped us understand it.
I took chem 1412 as hybrid class and it was super easy she basically covers everything u need to pass the exam. I got a 100 on this first test and 96 on the other, her exams are exactly like her practice exams, just numbers switched. She is great and understands our problems. Go for her you won't be disappointed
This professor is by far the best professor I have had for a chemistry class! Her lectures are very important and she is very good at explaining all the material. Her practice test resemble her test and she gives a lot of examples to prepare students for her exams. If you study her practice exams and listen to her lectures you will be good to go!
She is awesome. Answer email quickly.
Awesome professor. Good lecturer. Extremely fair. Will not give extra credit except for a 2 pt booster of your entire grade for completing the class survey. Shell work the problems out with you in her lectures. Took her for 141 2nd start, 3 exams + 1 final which replaces your lowest grade, 8 labs, 20% of your grade, no hw. Would recommend her.
Honestly this professor deserves a better rating than what she has. I take her online class. You can get a good grade just by watching her lecture videos. I put difficulty level 3 because i think chemistry is just a hard subject overall, but she makes it SO EASY!! She teaches little tricks and makes everything so simple to solve. TAKE HER!
Great professor to take during 5 week summer course. Just study the exam reviews which are the similar to the exams. Took her for Chem 1 & 2 (5 weeks each) over the summer and honestly was the best decision I've made.
I took this class online spring 2019 the best decision ever! What an amazing lecturer Dr Lu is! Like someone said previously she deservesbetter rating. The video she made for people taken her course online is awesome. She has trick and shortcut to help understand each topic. Make sure to study the video and practise the exams reviews. ( 3 exams
Pretty straight forward online Chem I class. The lectures are uploaded and you go at your own pace. The tests are VERY similar to the reviews so just study those and you're good to go! The final was also VERY similar to all 3 exams. Dr. Lu gives a 2 point boost to your overall grade at the end of the semester. BONUS!
Great professor. Grading criteria is very clear. As long as you watch the lectures and study the practice exams, you'll do great. I also appreciated that all course materials were available since day 1, so you can truly work at your own pace.
Took her online, if you watch all her video lectures and fully do the practice exams you will pass. The only thing I did not like was not being able to see what questions I got wrong once the exam was submitted. Overall only grades you on exams that are all online, but the final exam is in person. Absolutely would take her again for other courses.
(Online Summer Semester) There is literally 3 quizzes and a final exam. Each is worth 25%, so you don't have a lot of room for error there if you want a good grade. She has a video lectures for all the material. She is a good lecturer and makes things easy to understand. Definitely take her class! (I'm scared of Chemistry and I enjoyed it!)
Dr. Lu is the best! I took her for 8 weeks (hybrid class) and she provides you the test reviews and prepare you for the final. She will take time to explain with details the labs. TAKE HER ! she is amazing and she cares about the students. 3 TEST AND FINAL + 8 LABS.
Took online. Although the professor herself was not bad, she had some nice lectures and the reviews were useful, getting a good grade in this class is almost impossible. It consists of only 3 exams and an in person final, 2 which were EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. LOTS AND LOTS OF MEMORIZING. Requires LOCKDOWN BROWSER AND A WEBCAM, no curve. VERY HARD.
I took her online and I can't begin to tell you how amazing she is. Her recorded lectures are a major help and she made taking chem in 5 weeks a breeze. She is very caring and will respond to her students in seconds. Take her, 100 percent recommend.
Took Dr. Lu during spring term online, she is an amazing professor. I had to retake chemistry 1 and her lectures are so easy to comprehend. If you don't understand something, always contact her for more clarity. She is willing to help you succeed and not fail. Take her, you will not regret! Chem is not my best, but she made it easy to understand.
Professor Lu is a very nice person, I took her online class for my chemistry lecture and forgot to submit my assignment because of my sick dad, I only emailed her and she responded almost immediately. Its just 3 assignments, 3 exams and 1 departmental final. I took the second 8 week class online and Im glad I did with her.
Chem II is very hard with lots of math. Fortunately, professor Lu is one of the best professors I've ever had. She made me sign up for this site just to rate her. She teaches you exactly what you need to know and helps you see how you can apply that on your exams. If I teach someday, I am teaching exactly like her. Take her, you will love it.
I can clearly say she is the best Professor ever taken in where I learn a scary subject for me. I was afraid to take this class because I've heard chemistry is a hard subject to comprehend it is but she makes it so easy . I love her . If you reading this your the best Professor ever . She is just awesome . Lecture videos so helpful.
Spring '21 8 weeks. gives 1 point for survey. 12 labs (she helps you out on those) and 1 final exam. Emails very quickly, if you made an error, send her an email and she'll correct the grade. Final has questions from the 12 labs. Scanner app to send the labs since it was online.
Spring '21 8 week course. Your 4 homeworks are the review for the exam. Some examples on review are exactly like the exam the other half of the exam is same but different numbers. Lockdown required. scanner app bc its online. She also provides videos of each review and she gives you the answers to the review on there. 1 extra point for survey
Took her for summer online anytime class. Amazing lectures, no burden, 3 homework which are basically the exam reviews. just master the homework to get 100 on exams. She discusses everything that's on exam in her lectures. also, taking her for chem 2 in fall.
Professor Lu is very sweet and is good with answering emails and helping you. Chemistry is a hard subject but as long as you do the practice exams, you should be ready for the real exams because they are very similar questions. Her lecture videos teach you everything you need to know for her exams.
Shes a great lecturer, she gives detailed explanation. Her tests are very similar to her practice exams (which is your homework). Would definitely take her again.
She simplifies Chemistry so that even those without any background knowledge can understand. Never done Chem in my life, but I passed this class. She provides very detailed prerecorded videos for her online class. Pay attention to the practice exam and listen to all lecture videos. Her videos were the best part of the class. TAKE HER!!!!!
easy going professor. make sure you PAY ATTENTION AND STUDYYYYY and you'll be fine. i don't study and i'm not a stem major so i didn't put my all. but her class is very easy. if you are good at science, you will probably make an A.
Very nice , but she hates when people are late to class. She explains everything well and makes sure you understand. I will be taking her for chemistry 2
Professor Lu was great. I took her course online for summer 2022 and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Her lecture videos were very helpful. Make sure you do the Practice Exam homework! She responds to her emails in good timing and was also very flexible with my summer schedule. If you have questions ask. Review and you'll be fine.
She does a great job at explaining the content in a way that is easy to understand. She is also very organized and categorizes her lecture videos into smaller topics so it's easy to find information on a specific lesson.
Professor Lu is great she has really good lectures, just that it is alot to take in I recommend to at least go over the lectures ones again to be prepare before exams. Experiments are also easy nothing hard she helps you explain the procedure( Lab Book Mandatory). Exams are heavy, but same are exam reviews she gives. Just study you will be fine.
I took Professor Lu, in the fall 2022 for general Chemistry and Lab. she is very kind and sweet. If you did not take Chemistry in High School. You will learn a lot from her lecture videos and handouts also lab was fun! Do not hesitate to take her class! You will pass with an A.
The best chemistry professor. Have a lot of extra credits.
Extra credits for each exam. Tests are similar to exam reviews. Quickly answer emails if you have questions or problems. The best professor in chemistry.
Take the class just for the supplemental videos! She offers very clear expectations and practice exams!
1) Watching her recorded lectures is fundamental to passing the class; 2) The 3 homework assignments are practice exams and are essentially the exams but use different numbers; there are 3 exams and 1 final, and lockdown browser required; 3) Once you're passing, online meeting attendance isn't mandatory (in my case). A blessing! Rev 22:12 kjv
She offers videos with detailed explanations. All you have to do is to pay attention and watch the videos multiple times if you don't understand. The practice exams are very similar to the actual exams.
The best professor.
I take her in person for this semester but it turns into a hybrid class. One chapter per week. I have her class on Monday and Wednesday. Monday we don't have to go in person, just stay home and watch her lecture videos which is really detailed, then she will go over it on Wednesday. Homework is the practice exam. Each exam including 3 chapters.
Your to go Professor, 3 homework assignments, 1 final. Very identical to her lecture videos.
I LOVED HER LECTURES SO MUCH in CHEM 1311, that I even drove 36 miles to her in person class. Her teaching techniques are super easy. Her grading is fantastic. Her exams are similar to each exam except the fin al which she also gives hints during the final review on how each question will come I wish she taught organic!!!!! PLEASE TAKE GER. I got A
Took her for Chem 1/2 lectures and labs, goes over everything in her lecture videos, homeworks are practice exams and SUPER helpful. Chem labs are very simple.
Super easy class. 3 test, 3 homework, 1 final. Homework's are test reviews for each test. Test reviews are exactly like the tests. I took her lab as well chem 1111 and they were very easy and straightforward. Super nice. Only bad thing is she is never on time to class like never, which I personally didn't care cause her class wasn't hard.
Prof. Lu has most of her lecture content pre-recorded online; it is important to review this content continuously to gain understanding for the in-class discussions. Chem II concepts are very heavy and she does her best to streamline the class. Labs were pretty straightforward. Her exams were very similar to the practice exams the class goes over.
Professor. Lu explains everything in a very understandig matter. The only thing about her she will show up LATE to every single class. One exam the final if you study what she tells you easy 100!
Took 5wks online on a schedule.3 tests & 1 final; you must complete 3 test reviews submitted as homework. These are the only 6 assignments. VERY helpful lecture videos & PowerPoints, extremely detailed information, & teaching style. Many questions on exams are from reviews.10/10, super easy as 5wk w/lots of free time, so def easier as 16wk.
Took Dr. Lu's class in the summer. It was very chill. She would let us go early as long as we completed our lab experiments. She was also very understanding. I missed the deadline for one of our lab reports and she let me submit it without any deduction. Her grading criteria were clear. I would definitely take her again.
literally the best professor in the chemistry department at HCC, I had alvanipour for chem 1311 and got a C, took it again with Lu and it was ten times easier. her test reviews were exactly like the actual tests just with different numbers. I never got less than a 90 on her tests and I'm the worst at chemistry, she was just that good at teaching.
Dr Lu is my girl! Here is what you do to pass her class. 1. Stick to her schedule 2. Watch her videos when she assigns them. 3. Come to class and use class time for Q/A. ( If you dont ask questions she will assume you know it ) 4. DO THE HW, I REPEAT DO THE HW! The HW is 3 practice exams. 5. THERE WILL BE NO SURPRISES. If you are Pre MED / TAKE HER
Dr. Lu has been the best chemistry teacher I've ever had. Her lectures are very informative, and she does an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts in a way that's easy to understand, almost like explaining it to a 5-year-old. THE HOMEWORK IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EXAMS!! Literally loved her class. Don't even think about it. Take her!!
Professor Lu is very nice and she explains the labs in detail.10 labs and one final exam. Final exam questions come from the lab so make sure to study that. She would let us leave early once we were done with the lab.Don't be late to her class because she will not let you in.I recommend her class!
Professor Lu's CHEM1311 class is a game-changer. With detailed lecture videos, practice exams that mirror the real thing, and helpful tools like Unstuck ai, it's an easy A for anyone willing to put in the work.
If you want to learn chemistry take her! However I did have her online so we would have to watch her lecture videos. The only issue I had with her is that when we would ask a question she would always say “how many times have you watched the lecture video” this is very unacceptable for a professor to say that every time. No Extra Credit
I took Chemistry I and II lec's & labs with Dr. Lu. She sets clear expectations and gives a clear path to success in Chem. Understanding moles will lead you to find mass, and vice versa—this principle is indeed accurate. Her videos offer thorough explanations, and her class serves as excellent reinforcement. Make sure to arrive on time for class.
HCC should let go of all the chemistry teachers and have Dr. Lu clone herself to instruct General Chemistry I and II. That's all there is to it! If you don't succeed in her class or fail to learn from Dr. Lu, it might be a good idea to reflect on your own performance.
I took her for an in-person class, but all her lectures were videos online that you had to watch. She would tell us not to come to class if we didn't watch the video and she would not teach anything in class. You had to teach yourself everything from the videos online. she also does not know how to properly talk to students and always yells
Very easy, straightforward Lab class. The Lab assignment could be completed in under an hour, she tries to make them quick. She doesn't enforce any safety rules and normally leaves us unsupervised for the whole lab. Great professor though, helpful and nice.
She provides review questions that are very similar to the exam. She also has videos to help you study. This class is not for everyone! If you prefer a shepherd-like teacher, then Professor Lu is not for you. She gives you all the materials you need to succeed, then it is left to you to make whatever you like out of it.
An amazing lecturer for Chemistry! In my opinion, her lecture videos are very thorough so I don't have any complaints about them. Exams are much alike in the practice homework so overall, it is a flexible class and less difficult than you would imagine.
She is a good teacher, even if she is a bit aggressive sometimes. If you really don't understand something, ask questions, because you are here to learn and you are paying for that. And also we have to watch her videos 2times before coming to class. The exams are like the practice exams ( which are the only homework on the class).
Very easy class! There's 10 lab assignments and you get a week to do them. I thoroughly enjoyed her class!
you basically teach yourself. she uploads videos of each chapter and you have to watch them before class and she will just review quickly what was on the videos, she doesnt teach only on the videos! the hw consists of 25 multiple choice questions similar to the exam but at the same time not really. you need a scientific calculator and scantrons.
I think the hardest part of this class was the final exam being WORTH 25% of ur grade. consisted of 35 multiple choice (worth 2 points each) and free response 6 short partial credit questions (worth 5 points each). Its a shame that most of our grades in this class was basically on just exams.
Exams 60% ( 3 exams: 25 multiple choice questions) Final Exam 25%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Homework 15% (3 HW'S: 25 multiple choice questions: similar to exam but not really)
