know how to teach but exams are very hard but still better than other professors

I love the way she teaches, she gives good examples and reviews. However, tests were not easy. If you work really hard, and do the difficult examples in the book (that she probably didnt review in class,) you might get an A. I recommend her only if you are really interested in the class.

hot, generous , care for student. i mean organic is hard , u gotta study for it... i love her to death . SHe extrememly funny too.

Well as someone else has said Organic Chem is hard regardless of who you take. I personally don't see why all these people are complaining, she's pretty clear in her lectures, but she does always seem to put a surprise question that no one expects in every exam. It's hard, but it's doable.

she is really good, all you have to do is study and then youi will see that your grade are unbelievable. She is better than Watson and Pasternack combined. If yor trying to get into pharmacy, then she is the one u should take. It is very easy to get an A- or even an A. She also goes slow unlike most professors, and lets U sceduale the date for test

She really is not a bad professor. People who complain about Orgo don't really know how to study for it.

Dr. Upton is a very helpful professor who understands that most take organic chemistry just to get by. Yet she does her best to help you to get a good grade, if you deserve it. However , I cant stress this enough, you MUST STUDY, no matter what, its orgo we taking about here.

She can teach orgo, but exams will make you fail. Orgo is a very hard subject in the first place but this lady's exam makes life even harder. I don't understand how her lectures are crystal clear but exams are a whole nother story. If you're in pre-pharm...take someone else unless you're obsessed with studying and have no other life.

Unlike many professors, Upton knows what she's teaching. When asked a question, she answers it. She makes common examples out of the material to help students better understand what she is talking about. She is a hard grader however, when it comes to tests. Her quizzes are easy if you study what she tells you to.

Intro to Organic and biochemistry is tough, but, Professor Upton knows how to explain it very well. She was a wonderful lecturer (paints in color), clear and approachable and doesn't mind taking extra time with you. She is easy going, but her exams are tough (critical thinking), which is great if you are going into Nursing School.

She 's fair. No credit for a wrong answers but gives pts if you are close to the answer. She explains it in an easy way which was good for me because there are chem profs that talk so fast and make things so complicated. If you work hard and study you will be ok.

I just got my first test and expected it to be a bad grade bc of all the stuff written here but it wasn't bad at all. I got an 84/100! Its sad bc I wish had taken her in 121 bc I am learning a lot now.

I am in her class right now. It's an 8am class and she comesin mostly on time. So far I am doing pretty good. I had another professor in 121 but I really didnt learn much.

Multiple choice and True/false exams and one problem you have to work out like the homework. Same formate for the exams. I am getting As and Bs. Will take her in 4x

Upton is a great professor, easy multiple choice questions and true and false. easy A, deff recommended. drops lowest test grades too!

Professor Upton is amazing. I am taking her in the summer for CHM121. Quizzes are multiple choice. The bad reviews are from students who were either lazy or wanted a grade that they didnt work for. Professor Upton is caring. These reviews are far from true. She is the complete opposite. Go to her office hours for extra help.

Professor Hannia Lujan-Upton is awesome! her approached to chemistry is so different and easy to understand, she is by far the best chemistry professor I ever had and I had 2 prior. I never thought I would pass or even like chemistry but with Lujan-Upton I am seriously thinking about changing my major! TAKE HER YOU WOULD NOT REGRET IT!

I don't get the bad reviews she has here. Professor Upton isn't bad at all. In fact, I think she's amazing! I wasn't supposed to have her, however, due to an incident that occurred, professor Upton stepped up and became our professor. She could be tough at times, but it is all for our benefits and learning! Professor. Upton is THE BEST!!!

Professor Lujan-Upton is just a different story. Many students are complaining that she is hard and her exams will make you fail, but that is not true at all. Orgo is very hard overall, but if you pay attention in class, do the homework and reading, you will just be fine. Loved taking her, and would love to have her again in the future.

Prof Upton makes orgo easy to understand. Her tests/quizzes are mostly M.C. Some exams had E.C. If u want to do well in this class, u should put at least an hour of studying in everyday (u cant expect an A or B if you dont study). Go to her office hours, it helps. I advise u to read the textbook and do practice problems/ watch videos on YouTube.

She explains everything very well, her tests are difficult, she does not curve. She is available during office hours and you can come to her during her lab classes. Reading the textbook is very helpful and the practice problems can help, but be aware that her test questions are harder. Quizzes and lab grades boost your overall. She is very nice.

Professor Upton is very caring. She cares about every single students and wants all of them to do well. Study hard folks! It is ORGANIC CHEMISTRY! Study at least 1-2 hours every night, spend time on the homework questions, and do review sheets, and you will be fine granting at least a B in this course.

She is a solid professor that gets hated because of the difficulty of the subject she teaches. I was able to understand her lectures pretty well. One thing I didn't like about the class was that quizzes and exams had few questions, so if you aren't perfect it's tough to get a good grade. She did curve me at the end though, and she seems nice

Not many liked her, but I loved her! Her class is easier when you learn how she wants things done. If you learn her trends and read the textbook, you'll be fine. A lot of teaching yourself, but she's very smart and willing to help you. Make sure to practice and study A Lot. If you show effort, she'll appreciate it. But don't even think ab cheating.

Im NOT a chem genius and actually failed her midterm. focus on her lecture cause she literally tells you whats going to be on the exam. Youre graded on a few things. Show her youre trying. She gives extra 50 pts if u answer 2 questions and drops the lowest quiz. Dont think about cheating!! Dont let these comments scare u, shes not bad at all!

One of the best professors Ive had so far at LIU. The subject itself is hard so a lot of people blame the professor when it comes to the grade they get. Study at least 1-2 hours every day and review the textbook right after lecture. 5 quizzes, midterm, and final. Make sure to take notes during class! she is very good at explaining the concepts.

Orgo chem is a very difficult subject to teach, so no matter who you take it with you need to study a lot. She wants you to understand the material and her quizzes require that you know the mechanisms. I found her very caring and wanted everyone to pass with good grades. If you want to fully understand the material then take her.

Professor Upton is a great teacher, she teaches the chemistry material very well. She can be a tough grader when it comes to labs and exams but other than that no complaints. If you take her, I would say just study a lot for her exams, because she does not give homework so labs and exams make up your grade. also gives extra credit!

Shes a good professor dont listen to the reviews. She teaches much better than schantter.

Professor Upton actually made me excited to go to class. Our course was specifically geared towards nursing and healthcare majors and she taught us things that actually relate to our career paths which made the class super engaging. Go to her office hours, go to review sessions, do the homework assignments and take really good notes.

Take her over schnatter. Reviews are misleading. She teaches and is very reasonable and fair with her exams . She is also very lenient with lab and you can easily do well if you show up and do the work.

She always tried to make the material relatable and digestible, and she loves questions. She responds to emails quickly. We had 4 exams + a final (cumulative). Her exams are easy and she drops the lowest. The only issue I had was with the final because she made it with another professor so there was material we hadn't covered but I still got an A.

I don't understanw why the rating is so low, to me she is the best professor for chemistry at liu

Professor Upton is a very nice person who cares about the course and its material. However, her lectures were always somewhat confusing, and the tests did not reflect what I was expecting. Putting in the work and studying will be the best for you to succeed. Since there aren't many options, she is alright, and you will be fine if you work hard.

She's an amazing professor compare to Prof.Nikita she actually give you guidance, a lot of office hours you can go to. You REALLY have to do her homework problem which it helps so much and the exam always try to mirror the hw problem.Take her instead of Nikita because final will be 70% of her exam and 30% nikita.

Professor Upton is very caring and also she's not a tough grader. You need to attend all of her lectures because they help a lot to understand the topic. Exams are based on her lectures and mostly from the homework problems. She will boost up your grade if she sees you participating and understanding/trying to understand the topic.

Professor Upton's exams are short response and multiple choice. A very difficult and time consuming course but do all the homework problems and use office hours and you will excel. She gives inspirational speeches often and is caring.

It is a hard class but if you take good notes and study with classmates it makes it so much easier and also fun because of how challenging it is. Definitely do the homework problems for extra practice and because she'll repeat similar questions on the exam.

She is a really good professor despite what others might say. Her lectures are simple and easy to understand. She gives micro quizzes at the beginning of class which is just one question that you have 5 minutes to solve. Very simple questions that are easy to do but with only five minutes its easy to mess up.

PLEASE TAKE HER! Her lectures are easy to follow and she gives microquizzes at the start of the class. These microquizzes are similar to questions on the exam, so you know what to expect. Took the first exam and got an 85 which is a B+/A-. Couldn't believe it! Compared to other professors, she is the best!

At first I was nervous b/c I heard bad things but she's actually a really good professor who knows her stuff. She presents the topics in a simple and understandable way. She also utilizes the textbooks and post "homework" questions from the book with the answers so its really helpful when you practice/study with the textbook.

Love her! Only grades 22/25 multiple choice and one short response which are equally weighted. Some materials that she didn't cover in class appeared on the exam but it was ok. Still managed to pass. She presents the material in a simple and understandable way. Unlike Schnatter she wants you to learn and pass. Please take her over Schnatter.

She's the best! Got a perfect score on her exam. First time ever in Organic Chemistry. Thought it was impossible, but with Upton you're sure to do well. She doesn't try to trick you with impossible reactions or things we never covered. What you see in lecture, you'll expect it to be on the test. Also helpful outside of class.

Gives a disgusting amount of opportunities for extra credit like +45 points total I think. Drops lowest test grade and is pretty nice. Doesn't give homework so if you want to practice you'll have to reference the textbook.
