i got dumber just having breathed the same air as this woman.

Terrible Prof, who doesn't know what the hell she is doing at all. hated her class and i think she is very biased and ****!!!! Also extremely rude and very unhelpful. Not very bright either

This professor is RUDE, and is incompetent and does not know the material she is supposed to teach, she is confused and arrogant. She is bias and ****/****. Overall she does not make a particularly good university professor. She is a waste of university time and resources!

"Worst professor at U of T" would be an understatement. Maybe the worst university prof ever. She is rude, arrogant and makes a class that should be relatively easy far more difficult than it should. How she still has a job is beyond me. Georges looks like the coolest guy in the world next to her.

Jumi is arrogant yet makes mistakes when she teaches. She's rude and doesn't care whether or not her students learn. She believes the A students will get A's anyway so why bother teaching properly. I don't like her attititude towards students that struggle with chem. She's a **** and overall someone u wouldn't want to talk to outside class anyway.

Garbage!!! I bet her degrees at harvard and cal-tech were in English! Don't take this chem minor seriously!! She doesn't know anything about chem. she shouldn't even be a lab techn.

I finished three degree programs and Ms. Shin is the biggest liar I ever met. Everyone is at risk. I saw it time and time again. She cannot be trusted at all. You have been warned.

This prof does not know any thing about chem She makes many mistakes on the blackboard so it confused me-our first midterm had many mistakes.She is a big liar & she mislead us.EVERY DAY she would say,this would be on the exam.Her notes are very general and simple but her midterms are very hard. This isn't prof w/ whom you would enjoy organic chm.

We had two midterms (25% each) and one final (50%). She made first midterm so damn easy that class avg was above 70%. Then she made second midterm, which was held after Drop deadline, so hard, that the avg was around 50%. Then she made the final a killer. And this is what she does: screw you at the end!

See Last post: She does that each and every year, but I ignore other thinking Organic Chemistry is a hard course no matter with whom you take, but this prof just want to destroy you life. The way she makes so many mistake on blackboard, shows that she must be a horrible student in the past, perhaps thats why she is taking revenge on us. Good luck!

I agree with the people below me. She is a mean woman, not just saying because I failed and mind you worked my butt off, but she barely would help me during office hours. She kicked me out and told me I didn't know what I was doing. Teachers are supposed to TEACH and ENCOURAGE, not discourage and embarass you. She thinks she is the smartest person.

bad prof, she forces people to come to her office hours and help sessions, which were very crowded and it made me tired all the time. Horrible prof when it comes to tests and final exam if you don't attend her office hours.

inefficient lecture, office hour should not also be a main source of learning not everyone have time to attend office hour when you ask her a question, she will said: well, you tell me! think about it, and you tell me next time! AND she always says in lecture: hi guys, why don't you ask questions she is rude and don't respect students

Worst prof I've ever had, everything to her personality to teaching style is awful. She is very condescending when asking for help. Midterms coming up in a week, and guess what, we have no lecture slides and only 10 questions to practice, and no textbook to read. Course content is easy, but prof is death.

Just recently had a test with her and can echo all of the negative sentiments expressed on this page. Problems presented in lectures and problem sets are immensely easy and do not in any way prepare you for the test. Unnecessarily creates an unfriendly and pressurized environment, too.

She has rules about which aisle she wants you to use to access a seat in lecture if you are late. No laptops allowed out during the lecture. She refuses to answer any question if you're stuck. Novel problems on the midterms/exams. Expects you to know all of CHM110, CHM120 and, CHM242 thoroughly. Excessively hard marker (picky) and unapproachable.

She's really bad. She structures the class so that your only source of content is lecture- she doesn't use the textbook and posts no online notes, it's literally just what she draws on the chalkboard and that's it. And she makes mistakes on that chalkboard. A lot. If you ask about it she just says 'dont worry about it' even its later on the test.

The course revolves entirely around lectures. She will do things her way and penalizes methods shown in the textbook on tests. She has a massive ego and has structured her course and grading criteria to make you dependent on her help. She comes across as rude and has no problems in leaving you hung up to dry when trying to get help on questions.

Jumi is a very tough professor who is excessively rude and unapologetic , she will let you know how stupid your question is instead of answering it. Furthermore, she is unwilling to round marks up, I needed a 75 for post university measures and she refused to round me up from a 74. Attendance is mandatory, she wont post slides.

This professor is the worst one Ive had within my three years at uoft (that should say a lot right there) she is completely non sympathetic to students, gives zeros for for handing in anything even if its a second late. She does not care for students and teaches horribly. She has no heart, so avoid her at all costs.

My sections average is 51 percent right now? I don't know what she wants from us? I'm so confused about what she is doing, no way she's gonna fail the whole class, but still, she's going way too hard. I think the exam may be easier but as of now this course makes zero sense.

very rude and unapproachable. often makes passive aggressive remarks at students who try asking for help/clarification during lectures. also is a really tough grader and takes off lots of marks for small things. whole vibe just kind of puts students down. i'm doing so horribly when i'm trying to work my ass off. no leniency at all. worst prof.

She does go over content fairly quickly. That is fine, but she wont listen to many of the questions asked during lectures. As some other says, her personality seems a little arrogant. Our second term test was a disaster for all of us. Despite this fact, she uses the top 1% as an excuse to not even budge for a grade curve. Im having headaches.

Jumi is the worst professor Ive had the displeasure of having at UTM. Shes rude, condescending, and straight up arrogant. Additionally, she refuses to make it possible to approach her about marking without fearing youll do worse. The marking criteria is inconsistent and nonexistent. To put it in context, Im a 4.0 student struggling to pass ��

Instead of worrying about what the zoom chat consists of, or making fun of international students questions (to the point where they dont want to talk anymore), answer their questions and help them so your class average isnt a 35 no cap.

Jumi Shin is the reason why I drink. Every other chemistry professor Ive had is amazing but Jumi (doesnt deserve the respect of being called professor) has the most disgusting and horrible personality Ive ever seen. Her personality is the reason why I now drink beer almost every night, its to relieve my stress of having her as a professor.

She is an elitist who loves pets.

I thought she wasn't one of those crappy-mark-takeaway teachers based on how passionate she seemed to be to the work, however I learned different and so did many other students. The mark given on the most recent midterm, typically the most recent one, was clearly dishonest and it made absolutely no sense.

Clearly she went easier on the previous years, look at the ratings from previous years. But she absolutely destroyed us this year like there were points where my whole section was failing. Take it at UTSG or UTSC or with anyone this lady is wack.

Professor Shin has left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Organic Chemistry. Now only was she rude, unapproachable but she simply does not respect anyones time. Her favouritism is very apparent and this leaves those who are not favoured by her struggling to get a decent grade despite their best efforts. Do not take her class.

There is nothing good to say about her lol. She is a tough grader loves making her students suffer. Her marking makes absolutely zero sense. Her ego gets bigger every time a student fails

242 in a nutshell: -prof unapproachable, embarrasses students -most tutorials had a test class average of 30-50 -unclear marking scheme (she does provide us with an answer key but each TA docks however they feel like docking) -U can never get a single question regarded, its the whole test. She TERRIFIES us in that our mark might go down

She is a major cause of my depression nowadays.

To be honest I was better off taking Quantum mechanics and probably wouldve got a better mark.

unfortunately, you get docked marks if your TA doesn't like the way your arrow is curved, or if your chair looks slightly off. more marks are given to artistry than concepts. TELL ME WHEN IN MY LIFETIME WOULD I NEED TO DRAW AN ARROW SPECIFICALLY CURVED TO YOUR LINKING?! i felt hopeless and powerless in this class. no support staff.

I liked chemistry a lot before taking this class but I did not appreciate the professors lack of sympathy. She was very condescending and unapproachable, more so than any other prof Ive ever had before. I was scared to ask questions at all during this class out of fear that she may give me a condescending response.

When she isnt busy being passive-aggressive in the emails you send with genuine questions, or giving snarky remarks in lectures for questions students do not know, or encouraging us to attend office hours when 90% of the class is either scared or intimidated by her, she tries to find ways in which each tutorial section achieves a new low.

To be honest, Jumi Shin made me want to taste every chemical they tell us not to in a lab smh

I felt like Professor Shin was overly confident in their own ability of the subject that they continuously failed to give us any relevant information. It almost felt as though we were being pushed away at points because she wouldn't give us a straight answer to a viable question. All in all, it's a top class with a below average teacher.

Alright so WORST CLASS EVER. THE most rude prof I have had being a 3rd year student. She docks marks without telling you what you did wrong, humiliates students, changes her statements after tests and expects you to do well. She is so hindering to mental health. Avg in tutorial sections are at 20-50 range for quiz + midterms. Life ruined gpa drop.

she constantly gave test after test without actually going over the unit . threw my test away after i failed it

whoever wrote the review below me is capping so hard styl (definitely a teachers pet, you know who they are).

Every time I go to lecture I accidentally crap my pants because of how scary she is. Avoid this professor at all costs, shes worse than Chernobyl!

I can't believe how rude she is to students when they have questions. She seems visibly upset at people when they are confused by saying "that's just how it works". Seems completely rude when part of your job is to teach students. These schools need to hire teachers that are respectful and have a passion for teaching SMH!

Professor Shin was the sole reason I hated organic chemistry. Unfriendly, unprofessional, condescending person that makes negative comments about students who are simply asking questions but you need to ask her questions to do well in this course as tutorials are useless. Her ego is an issue; can't expect someone to know everything at birth

She has made my life miserable!!!!!!!!

Do not take CHM242 with this prof, her test looks easy but marks heavy. TMI: my tutorial had 39% average for term test II.

She will do anything to lower your grade. Good Luck

This prof will haunt you in your dreams, if you need to take this course, take it with different prof.

Prof. Shin was born to drop your grade, horrible professor...

She's the reason why I dropped out of chemistry. I loved chemistry but she ruined it. Now I'm a sociology major at queens who uses iPad notes UWUWUWUWU

i was a straight A student, yet this is the first class i got a grade lower than a A-. it's awful out here. this course is literally constructed in a manner that you simply can't succeed. ridiculously rude, questionable marking, and unclear criteria. you can literally lose marks over how curvy your arrows are. PLEASE SAVE URSELF THE MISERY.

The course is composed of 100% lecture-based assessments, frequency is once per 1-2 weeks. Lecture explains test materials well, test difficulty is medium but marked extremely harsh, missing an arrow can cost 10% of points in 1 question. Prof obsessed to punctuality of students, my classmate failed 242 as it submit a quiz 10s late.

Her lectures are not bad and her teaching style is also not too difficult to follow but her grading is TERRIBLE. She deducts so much mark for simple mistakes and does not care for your explanation if there was problem in uploads (Gave 0% for 7% quiz that was previously marked as 95% because crowdmark did not process in time) Super unfriendly.

she regraded my term test 2 lower the grades 3 hours before exam day. This shows she does not care & considering students. Since my grade got lower i lost my hope to do well in exam. After the grade released people from group chat, few people who wrote the same thing as my answer but they got the full mark or one mark off but i received 1/10.

Worst prof I ever had!!!! If you plan to take chm242 with her, do not skip her lectures, dont expect that she will listen to you, know that she is unfriendly, dont ask for regrade (guaranteed that you will come out with more marks deducted). It is better to take this course with different professors, she will make you cry.

She is sooooooo rude!She is selfish and does whatever she wants with your mark. She literally bcame a prof to haunt students. Her tests are not terrible but marks horrible. She has her own "favourite" students that she picks from the course and give them all the marks to boost up the course average. Other 200 students will end with crap marks.

Do not take chm242 with Jumi Shin. I took many prof for this course and she is far worse. If you do not want your GPA to plunder, rearrange your schedule to avoid her. The course average tells to truth. This course average was the lowest out of the whole year (around C-). I also took her without any research and got trashed.

Tests are fair and almost directly from the lecture examples. However, she claims to like when students ask questions but will get angry and degrade, demean, and humiliate you if you even ask her something as simple as repeating a concept/example.

Took CHM462 with this rude, unethical, unapproachable professor. She embarrassed me in front of the class, grade-telling everyone. She doesn't deserve to be an UofT Professor. This Uni should have kicked her out of teaching years ago.

I took this course as a requirement for my chemistry minor but had to drop it because of this unethical, very rude, and extremely unprofessional professor. She does not give students access to any slides, lecture notes, or resources. She does not provide a basic foundation for any concepts and expects you to know everything already. Avoid her!

good thing i didnt have her for 243

CHM242 would be trivial if Shin weren't teaching it. Use Youtube/textbook. 1) Unfair marking - will dock (many) marks from chemically CORRECT answers if you don't draw to her preference 2) Does a lot of problem solving w/o giving necessary theory for strong understanding 3) Teaches via uncomprehensive handwritten lecture notes and doesn't post them

Tip: AVOID

this prof does not respect students

This is the worst professor at utm. She picks on the helpless in class and most time shames them to tears. She doesnt care about the students, pushes them to fail in the class intentionally. At her age because it would be the same as unistudents entering a first grade class and bullying them for not understanding different chemical mechanisms.

In lectures, she would publicly call out students who had emailed her, fostering a tense environment. She often singled out students for minor disruptions, like discussing questions too loudly or using their phones. Additionally, she said the r-slur in class, and sent unprofessional emails instructing students to “get their shit together.”

I loved chemistry before this class. Changed the pathway I wanted to take chose another minor instead. Organic chem isnt hard, however if this is how most chem classes were gonna be, I'd rather do something else that can help me build better skills. This class was just not it because of the way they teach chemistry here.

This course serves as an introduction to organic chemistry, but the instructor seemed to assume that we should immediately master the material. When I asked questions, although she did provide assistance, she often appeared impatient, which made the experience uncomfortable. So arrogant...

So rude. Horrible experience. She acts like she invented chemistry, needs to be humbled.

The course was difficult, not due to the tests, but her demoralizing demeanor. She called out students by name, denied questions, and expected extensive prior knowledge without expanding on review material. She openly stated that deductions varied by student. While available outside class, responses lacked depth, requiring persistence to get help.

My advice: just don't.

If you want to stay happy, avoid this professor. She will call out anyone in class, humiliate them if they get the answer to her questions wrong, and more. I genuinely learning nothing from this class other than how to please her picky graders with my work.

She's prestigious, and she wants you to regularly attend class and take notes on paper. I basically learned nothing from this class; she recommended to avoid online resources like YouTube and Khan Academy, yet I learnt far more from them than from her. I give those sources full credit for what I know about organic chemistry.

Honestly, just avoid if you can.

Horrendous. Avoid until you want to destroy your gpa for life.

Hello?? She is genuinely so rude and has pride in it. Schools should not even allow these professors. I'll never understand why adults like her exist, she will make your life hard as well as her own. This class was not it, save yourself, if u can afford to take it with another prof in another semester please do so.

Please Avoid!

I never wore my seatbelt while driving to this class because I wanted to die before making it to her class

Against Teachnology, more for listener students

Keeps threatening to touch us

5min before the class started I was asking her whether I was allowed to ask her if she would be mad if I emailed her about a question that was marked subjectively. She preceded to turn on the mic and lecture me in front of the whole class (TWICE in a span of 3 minutes) "assuming I was trying to ask her about all my questions"(the class was silent)

DO NOT take this prof unless you want to ruin your entire semester. She is the most unwelcoming, entitled, and rude professor ive ever seen. Do yourself a favour and honestly avoid her at all costs. She willingly tries to make students lives so much harder by being so stuck up and passive aggressive which is the last thing you should do as a prof!

I go to every class, write notes, and do the practice questions she posts. Despite this, I learnt absolutely NOTHING from going to class and had to teach myself the entirety of the course using online resources. She belittles her students and makes them feel stupid for asking questions/getting things wrong, just skip her if you have the choice

She's a horrible human being and an awful professor, avoid her if u can

Literally so useless. terrible prof. just never even take this with her

She is so useless i literally have to contact my ancestors to get answers to her practice tests cus she posts no answer key. how the hell am i supposed to know that im doing things correctly. i'm literally blindly doing all these questions and she's so unapproachable and makes you feel as dumb as a rock.

doesn't provide solutions for practice problems to encourage students to attend her help sessions but honestly it just slows you down and is an extremely inefficient way to learn. very unapproachable, demeaning, rude. will call you stupid unironically. TAs are tough markers. the class content itself is not the worst but 100/10 would NOT recommend.

Professor Shin is one of those professors that has lost (or never had) the passion to teach students. She is an intelligent person who knows her stuff, but she is very impatient and condescending, which makes her extremely unapproachable. In order to do well in this course, go to office hours, as others have mentioned. Be brave and push through it.
