Professor song is an amazing instructor, Chemistry isn't easy but if you put forth effort you'll do fine. Study at least 3 hours a day and ask for help if needed.
Chemistry is tough as it is, but Dr. Song was super helpful. I took this class during the summer so it was very fast paced. Makes sure to study and keep up with your work. The final is worth 30% of your grade.
Very awesome teacher that is willing to help outside of class. This is a hard class just like all chemistry classes so put the work in. There is a lot of extra credit offered at the end of the course. I personally got around 30 formal points ^^ Reach out, study, do homework and youll do fine!
Professor Song was such a great chemistry instructor, especially for my first ever online college class. She was quick to respond to emails, gave great feedback, and recorded lectures that went over problems similar to those on the test. The homework wasnt awful, just go over the PowerPoints and it should be an easy A.
Chemistry is hard and I thought it was going to be even more difficult online but she makes this class soon much easier. She was very helpful and was great at explaining the martial. Provided extra credit and responded quickly to emails. Make sure to study and ask questions and you will pass.
Dr. Song is one of the most caring instructor I have known so far, she holds a meeting every week to go over any questions you may have for the course work, labs, and tests.
Dr. Song was always committed to the class and I really liked that. She was always there if you need it help and always reminded you to ask questions or if you need it help. I really liked the class and Dr. Song was great, thank you!
She was helpful towards her students especially when blackboard crashed.
After looking through professors hoping to get a good one, I noticed that Professor Song had great reviews. I took a chance and it was the best decision. Professor Song was always available and so helpful. She even gave us an opportunity to do things to improve our grades at the end of the semester. I highly recommend because she is a true gem.
Chemistry is extremely difficult for me, however Professor Song is very understanding and will give you multiple chances to improve your grade.
Dr. Song is an extraordinary professor. It was refreshing to have a teacher who was so invested in the success of her students. No matter what hour of the day it was, she was quick to respond to any questions I had. Her class is very organized and we knew exactly what assignments were due and when from the very first day.
Dr. Song is definitely a tough instructor, but she is very knowledgeable about chemistry and always is there if you have a question or just need extra help. There is a lot of homework and the class is very test heavy. Luckily, Dr. Song offers loads of extra credit. Unfortunately, every one of the exams was on Sunday, including one on Mother's day.
I had to retake chemistry and Dr. Song was very helpful with any material that was difficult to understand. She was very understanding and was quick to respond to emails. She offers a lot of extra credit which I didnt have in my other chemistry class. I would definitely recommend her if you need to take chemistry!!
She is the best teacher I ever met. She trying her best to make sure students are on the right track. She respond to emails almost immediately. She is so kind with it come to grading. Take her class, I highly recommend.
I have taken this class twice, the first time around I got an F with another professor but with Dr. Song I was able to pass it! I think getting an A is definitely possible with her and if you are in my position and need to retake the class you can never go wrong with her. Loved the class because of her!
Great professor. Very nice, and articulate. Wants you to succeed. Managed to get an A in the class due to the extra credit available. If you complete all the extra credit, it's probably around 5-7% of a boost on your final grade.
Dr. Song was great. Online chemistry is tough and time-consuming, but she was available to help out when needed outside of class. She was very responsive to my emails and was extremely understanding.
She is a responsible professor, responds quickly to emails, and detailed learning guideline, as long as you are not absent and complete the weekly assignment, you will get a good grade.
This class was very hard for me. I was really struggling. On one of the tests I accidentally missed the deadline but Dr. Song let me take it without a penalty. She responded to emails pretty quickly. Overall I would say she is a good teacher, but this class is very hard and I did fail it.
The homework was easy to get a good grade in, her powerpoints were pretty good and easy to understand, if you do the review she gives 10 extra points on the test and the attendance for the labs were madatory but she did not penalize you if you could not make it to class or came late. Best chemistry teacher I have ever had.
She is really caring all her students. She always replied my emails almost immediately even during night, weekend or holidays. I never has one professor can do that! She tried her best to make sure we learn somethings from the course and always encourage us to ask questions. I can always get her help when I need.
Dr. Song is very understanding and does everything she can to help students pass. Just do the work, understand it and everyone should pass. Great instructor!
Dr. Song is an excellent professor!! She answers emails right away. She will meet up with you outside of class whenever you need help. Her grading criteria is clearly written out. She really cares about her students.
Mrs. Song is an amazing professor. She definitely wants all of her students to pass. She offer tons of extra credit for you to improve your grade. She has even let me retake an exam that I did poorly on. Chem 151 is difficult but it helps having a professor who is always willing to help and give you opportunities to improve your grade.
Dr. Song is a person who cares a lot about each individual student. She personally went out of her way to help me improve in her class, even though I'm not a special student by any means. She answers emails very fast, and is extremely accommodating Even though chemistry is not my favorite science, I highly recommend taking this class with Dr. Song.
Dr. Song, It's a very caring teacher. If you are willing to put in the work she will make sure you will succeed in her class. She is very accommodating and understanding with all her students. Replies to emails quickly and answers any question you might have. I don't think there is another Chemistry teacher like her out there. Best teacher ever.
Highly recommend this professor for Chm 151. Dr. Song is very accommodating and will do everything in her power to help you succeed in her class. Responds to emails quickly and has plenty of study resources on her brightspace. That being said, the workload can become overwhelming fast so complete all assignments in a timely manner.
I had taken Dr. Song online back in the fall of 2020, and this professor is willing to help you succeed! Chemistry had always been a tough subject for me in high school and Dr. Song held help sessions every week to help prepare for exams. She is seriously the best option for this class, and she offers a bunch of extra credit to raise your grade!
I had a rough experience in chemistry my last school, so having Dr. Song for Chem 1 really changed my perspective on STEM courses. She is one of the few teachers I have ever had that responds to emails/questions rapidly, and offers great feedback on assignments. I would highly recommend Dr. Song for chemistry.
Dr. Song was easily the best teacher I had at CPCC for any science class. She was always there to answer questions and was very understanding of students lives outside of the classroom and worked with students on what fit them the best. The class was easy to follow and material was well taught through lectures, videos, and in person labs.
Most organized professor. Clear grading scale & criteria. u do all your work,u will make an A.Practic exams almost exact 2 exams- PRACTICE! Dr. Song available via email almost anytime: quickest 1 2 respond inentire chemistry dept.She truly cares & is excited to teach you & watch you grow. cengage come w/ free textbook & is EXACT to homework online
Easily one of the best professors I've had. Responds to emails very quickly and is extremely organized. The class was very laid back and not stressful at all, a stark contrast to the other chemistry teachers at CPCC. Makeup work was available for every assignment and may even let you retake tests. Do yourself a favor and choose this class.
She's the best teacher I've ever met. She's so nice and very understanding. Just do your assignments, tests and she give extra credit at the end of every test but you have to work for it. She's the best!
Best chemistry teacher hands down! For both Chm 151ans 152 I highly recommend Dr. Song over Dr. Adams. She truly cares about her students and helps them understand the material!
Dr. Song is one of the best professors I've had at CPCC! She gives you everything you need (and more) to succeed in Chemistry. She offers extra credit for each test and the final. Review tests help you know exactly what to expect on tests. She replies immediately to emails. She cares so much about her students! TAKE HER CLASS! You won't regret it.
Dr. Song is an amazing professor and I would 100% recommended taking any class she teaches. She always helped out as much as she could, responds quickly to emails, and gave extra credit. So I would choose her before her class gets full!
Amazing class! She truly cares about her students and really wants everyone to learn the material and pass. She will let you retake tests and gives tons of extra credit opportunities. I would definitely suggest taking her class!
She makes sure that all her students have a good chance for success
Dr. Song is an AMAZING professor. She truly cares about you and gives you so many opportunities to succeed. As a middle college student, I did struggle a bit with the subjects but she helped me understand them. She gives you a chance to retake tests which saved my grade. TAKE HER
I never wrote an review before, but all I can say is you should take Professor Song. She gives well explanation in her lectures and would stay after class to help you understand better with questions you have in the course. I only wish and hope to have her for CHM 152. Overall Professor Song is the best in my opinion.
Emailed me at the end of the semester and told me exactly what assignments I needed to do to earn an A in the class and helped me achieve that.
Very great teacher , I struggle in chemistry a lot and received the best grade Ive ever gotten in Chemistry with Dr. Song. She really wants you to pass and gives many opportunities for extra credit.
Had to withdraw from this course due to stress and other external issues. Dr. Song was extremely nice and offered me the chance to retake tests I had done poorly on as many times as I needed. I wish her class had a lecture component as well though.
There was lots of work but she was very good about grading for effort.
Answers emails promptly and offers many opportunities for extra credit. Dr. Song has lectures on every chapter and test including the final exam. The course itself is not easy, but Dr. Song's instruction makes it much easier to understand
Dr. Song is one of the best. She is very knowledgeable about the material and is extremely responsive, fair, and cares about your success. She provides numerous opportunities for students to succeed including dropping lowest lab scores and extra credit assignments to boost exam grades. Practicing the review tests is *key*.
Professor Song was absolutely fantastic! This was my first course with CPCC and it was online, so I was nervous about it at first. But within the first week, Professor Song explained any and all questions that I had extremely well! If I emailed her, she immediately responded back. This online Chem Class was structured for students to be successful!
I think that professor Song is an amazing professor. She really cares about her students .
It is very important to take a class with a professor that genuinely care about your success in the course. Professor Song definitely shows that she is willing to help by providing extra credit, replying to emails quicker than usual, and providing good feedback. This is my second chemistry course, and this experience was much better than the first.
Dr. Song is the best chemistry instructor at CPCC. She truly wants her students to pass her class. She gives a lot of extra credits. Her lab is very fun, she lectures on it before you start. If you want good grades and knowledge, then please choose Dr. Song. Quickly responds to emails and is accessible outside the class. I'm glad I took her class.
Dr Song is a very respectable Professor her teaching abilities helped me very much to help me pass a course that is very difficult for me She also gave opportunities for extra credit which was of great help to boost my grade up Overall Dr Song is a great Professor
Took professor Song for Chemistry 151 during Spring of 2022. Shes super caring in a way that she wants you to understand the subject & wants you to get a good grade . So as long as you do the assignments & the test review she will allow retakes on test . Also responds fast to emails and help out. Therefore - you choose your grade In the class .
Dr. Song is great, just read the other reviews. I hope she teaches Chem II in the Spring
I was lucky that I took chem 1 and 2 with Dr. Song. If you do the homework and practice the problems, it's impossible to fail this class. Whenever you need help with the course, don't hesitate to reach out to her. She responds emails fast and always willing to take her time to explain the material to you.
She is so fast. I'd email her and she'd respond within 2h most of the time. Sometimes 5min. And her whole class is super organized. The expectations are so clear. Couldn't ask for a better prof.
Currently taking CHM151 and she is wonderful. Chemistry is already a tough subject by itself but she makes our lives way more easier. She is not hard to reach as she responds quickly to any questions or concerns you might have. This class requires a lotttt of effort but it is possible to pass with her. I definitely recommend
Dr. Song is an amazing Professor. As a person who hates chemistry she was a great professor when it came to teaching and explaining instructions. She is patients with her students, offers extra credit, and allows you to retake as many Lecture Exams as you can. She wants you to succeed and pass the class and not fail. DEF TAKE!
Dr. Song was very good at explaining topics. Her graded review assignments are a big part of your success on the tests. She also has the opportunity for extra credit (up to 10 points) on each test and allows you to retake tests as needed. She is a very kind and patient professor. I do not enjoy chemistry but at least she taught well.
Dr. Song is one of the best professors I've had. I will admit, her teaching is quite fast paced, but she will do absolutely anything to help you get by in the class. This class will require a good amount of time spent outside of the classroom studying to do well, but Dr. Song will always be there as a good backup to help in whatever you need.

Dr. Song is one of the best professors I ever had, she truly cares about her students and does her best to ensure you get an A. Her review tests are extremely helpful for the tests, as long as you do all the assignments and test reviews you will pass. Highly recommend her!
Chemistry was a a bit difficult at times, but this instructor does everything she can to make sure you succeed. The most understanding instructor I have probably ever had. She understands that things happen, and will work with you. 10/10 instructor, if you are taking chemistry this is who you want to take.
Dr. Song will make sure you pass if you try! She lets you retake unit tests!! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT SHE WILL HELP YOU OUT!
Dr. Song is definitely the best professor I have had! She is amazing! She wants you to learn as much as possible in the course by quickly replied my emails and met me by WebEx to explain questions I had even during nights and weekends because of my schedule. She is a great lecturer, her lectures are very helpful for me to understand the contents.
I really appreciated having Dr. Song this semester! I am new to CPCC and taking transfer credits and being one of Dr. Song's students has made it easier! I took an online course from her and she was very fluent in using technology and was very thorough in her explanations for assignments.
She is definitely one of the best professors I've taken at CPCC, she cares and wants you to succeed, she let me retake my unit tests towards the end of the semester so definitely take advantage of that, she provides 10 points extra credit on tests, if you are thinking of taking CHEM 151 this professor should be your ONLY choice.
She was very easy going. If you completely flopped a test, she would let you retake it. Do the extra credit assignment. She also gives partial credit for answers on the test!!
If you have to take chemistry, I suggest taking Dr. Song. She goes through lecture pretty quickly but you can always stop her to ask questions. All reading assignments are online. She ALWAYS will prepare you for a unit test (5 total) & the review test on OWL is similar to the unit test. If you did bad on a test, you're allowed to retake it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I enjoyed class with Professor Song and I do plan on taking CHM152 with her as well. She is very, very caring and understanding. She is also very accessible outside of the classroom and responds to emails very quickly. There is a lot of work and homework that is required in this class but it's because its a 4-week summer course.
I really wish prof Song was my professor at UNC. She is very organized, responsive, patient and able to clearly explain complex topics and nuances. She really cares about her student's success. She's the most passionate professor I've ever met. Chemistry is a tough subject but pro Song makes it so much easier to understand. Highly recommend her!
Best Chem professor I have taken. The class is hard but she cares about her students understanding the course material. She seriously cares about her students. Always gives out extra credit.
I took her and I must say she is the BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! She truly cares about her students' success and you can tell she is passionate about teaching Chemistry. She is excellent with explaining topics as well as making sure students have an outlet to help if they need it. Could not recommend this professor more!
I had Dr. Song for 16 week fully-online CHM-151. Chemistry is naturally harder for me, but Dr. Song is so good. A LOT of homework/online textbook readings, but she gives extra credit. She is willing to work with you if you need extra help, responds to emails in a very timely manner. Overall, if you put in the work and try, she is willing to help.
Her lectures were really helpful, and there are video lectures as well. Do all the homework and review tests several times in order to pass the class. Labs are also worth a lot of the grade. She is a caring professor with clear and easy to understand lectures.
I saw Dr. Song had won a teaching award and did not understand why but now I do. She is amazing!! She understands her students, does all she can to help us out, and you can tell she loves what she's doing! Saying she is a good professor is an understatement! I hope everyone who takes chemistry has the chance to be able to be taught by Dr. Song.
I took a 4 week online Chem 2 summer course with Dr. Song. Obviously the course was not easy due to being condensed into 4 weeks, but we covered a lot of material and Dr. Song was always helpful and easy to contact for questions or concerns. If you put the hard work in, you will earn the grade you want and Dr. Song will help you along the way.
Professor Song was an amazing Professor! I was very nervous about taking this class, but I have to say that this was one of the best classes I've taken because of her. She was very caring and helpful throughout this course. I did take this course over the Summer so it was A LOT of work within the weeks, but stay on task and you will be just fine.
Great professor. Replies quickly to emails. Lots of ways to earn the grade that you want. It is a difficult course. You will work for your grade! However, I fully recommend this teacher.
I took an 8-week course with Dr. Song. The class was a LOT of work, but she is one of the sweetest professors I have encountered; she genuinely cares about the success of her students. As someone who walked in terrified of taking chemistry in the summer, she made me feel secure that it is possible.
If anyone is taking General Chemistry 2, I would highly recommend on taking Professor Song, she responds to emails promptly, and she is simply an amazing professor, and is truly understanding, and will make sure that you can succeed.
Good number of labs and homework each week but it isn't too hard. She's a great professor and always gets back to you super quickly. She is super nice and will give you good advice or help whenever needed. She is definitely the best chemistry professor I've had!
I had the privilege of being taught by Dr. Song, I can confidently say she is one of the best educators I've encountered. Her passion for teaching is contagious, and she has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable pieces.I left every class feeling more confident and excited about chemistry.Highly recommended!
I can't thank Dr. Song enough for making my chemistry experience so positive. From the first class, it was clear that she genuinely care about her students' success. Whether you're struggling/excelling, Dr. Song always meets you where you're at & helps you move forward. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to truly understand & enjoy chemistry!
Dr. Song is amazing. She puts so much heart into her students ,test reviews, lab help, everything. She makes labs fun and easy to follow with a quick rundown at the start. She's patient, understanding, and truly cares. This was only my second in-person class, and I can't imagine a better professor. Stay engaged and you won't fail. Gem of CPCC..
Dr. Song is a great professor. Her calm, respectful teaching style helps me focus without pressure to socialize. She explains clearly, answers questions kindly, replies to emails quickly, and is always willing to help. I truly enjoy learning in her class.
Genuinely one of the best professors to grace the college. She is so kind and thoughtful, exceptionally
Dr. Song is genuinely one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of being taught by. I am a fan of chemistry and she made me enjoy the subject even more. She is a very respectful woman who is considerate of her student's feelings, thoughts, and is great at giving help when needed. She is also so understanding of personal situations.
Take. This. Professor's. Course. I got an A in chemistry 2 and I am still shocked. Dont get me wrong you have to work for it, BUT if you put in the work you will get an A. Extra credit on every exam besides the final and more than possible to get As on every assignments. Not to mention I almost dropped this course bc I thought surely I would fail.
Ok, I'm going to be straightforward here. If you're looking for a teacher that: 1- Responds quick to emails. 2- Give your extra credit for your work. 3- Makes you understand a course that you were afraid to take. 4- Gives your helpful feedback. Come take Dr. Song's class. There are a lot great things about her…I pass the class with a grade A.
One of the rare professors who genuinely cares about her students. She responds to emails promptly and offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. She's very kind, thoughtful, and approachable. If you're facing any issues or have concerns, just shoot her an email, and she'll do her best to support you. Great professor.
I absolutely HATE chemistry, HOWEVER!!!!! Dr Song made it sooo easy to get by! I absolutely LOVE her and her caring demeanor, she truly cares for her students, she's understanding and caring for her students. I 100% recommend her for the class!
Just take it!
She is an amazing teacher. I took a 16-week class and learned a lot. The labs and lectures were excellent, and she patiently answered all my questions. Always quick to respond and truly cares about your efforts since the class requires working on many concepts and formulas. She provides helpful feedback throughout the semester. Highly recommend!
Dr. Song is the best CHM 151/152 teacher at CPCC. CHM 152 is tough, but she's patient, kind, and always makes time for students. She replies to emails fast, offers extra help, and truly cares if you succeed. With her support, you'll feel confident and ready to pass. She's AWESOME.
She explains concepts in an easy-to-understand way. For the lab section, she clearly explains the steps needed to study. She is also caring and attentive to students in class.
Amazing chemistry professor! The course is well-organized, the expectations are always clear, and she consistently provides helpful feedback. She explains tough concepts so clearly and is always willing to help. You can tell she truly cares about her students. I learned so much and really appreciated her support. Highly recommend!
A great professor who wants to help students out. Great lectures and takes the time to show you the steps to solve problems. Always do the extra credit for tests since they add 10 points. Fun labs and overall helpful. Do the test reviews!
Dr. Song was so nice to me and gave me so many opportunities to do well and makeup work that I slacked off on. She let me retake tests and you can get up to 10 points extra credit for each unit test. She responded quick to emails and was so caring. If you can take her, do.
She is a nice nice lady. She offers 10 points extra credit for every test. She wants you to pass!
Ms. Song is one of my favorite teachers at cpcc!! I truly am not a chem major and was only taking this class for science credits after taking 151 online over the summer. Her lectures were amazing and really helped me understand chemistry on a whole different level. I will recommend her to anyone going into chemistry!
