i hate chemistry even more after taking her class.

I don't like her at all. she seems nice on the appearance but actually she's rude and very unresonable. She grades hard and is very strict. Time management is so bad! lecture is boring and she's so picky on the lab. have no idea why a part-time teacher can be so b**chy!

she is the worse teacher i ever had she can't speak english . I think first she needs to improve her english.

Worst Teacher Ever. Teaches you a whole chapter of new material in 40 minutes & expects you to do a test of it right away.May yell at you if you ask a question. Makes fun of the class for not understanding. Places trick questions of her tests which have nothing to do with the textbook or lecture questions. Doesn't teach, just yells out powerpoint

I hate this teacher. she is never willing to help you. if you ask her questions she'll tell you that I already explained it in the lecture. she can be really rude and mean sometimes. if you really want to learn DON'T take her. She is the worst teacher I've ever had in my life.

DO NOT TAKE HER! She does not care about her students. My experience: When I asked her for help with a problem, she made me feel stupid for not knowing how to do it. When I had a question and emailed it to her, she would not check it until it's too late (I had to tell her to check). Also, she has a very thick accent that is hard to understand.

You need to avoid this teacher. Her lectures are useless and she doesn't help her students. Class itself isn't hard but she has a lot of pointless assignments that make it difficult. Also very rude to students.

Hard to understand what she is saying and can often times be very unreasonable. Class is fairy easy though. Don't take it with her if you don't have to

If you are crazy for chemistry then this class will be perfect for you. You will not have time for other class either for yourself. This professor is unfair and she makes sure she exhaust the students with assignments that are infinitely long and useless. You will work hard for nothing because you can achieve the same results taking other class.

This professor should not be teaching in America. She thinks that because she can put a chemical equation together that she is all the universe needs. She thinks that all students should be crazy for chemistry not even considering the fact that no everyone is majoring in chemistry. In her mind everyone is damn and she is the best. Really!!

You will be called dumb you will feel dumb in this class even if you know chemistry She makes sure that she overload students with useless work and assignments More you work more work will keep coming till you have not energy left for your other classes She does not care about student she humiliate student in front of class by yelling at them.

You have to work hard in this class. She doesn't make it easy. This subject is difficult as it is but she makes it more complicated. She is one of those professors that want you to use critical thinking. There is nothing wrong with that but give something that we can actually use critical thinking, not some bs questions for lect and lab test

She is the worst teacher in the history of my life..by far..Please, do not take her. Her accent is so broken it makes it impossible for you to understand her. Plus, she gives the worst conceptual tests in her broken English which makes it even harder..the material is easy..she is beyond unreasonable in any situation, and doesn't care a single bit.

Her accent is terrible and not understandable. Lots of theorem teaching but no practice examples in class. She grades really tough and picky on lab reports and exams. It takes really long time to finish labs. She expects you to write every steps and turn them in before taking off. She is really mean sometimes when you ask her questions.

She's really mean and expects you to know everything she knows. Her exams have nothing to do with lecture and that's if you can even understand her lecture. She's very unapproachable if you have questions and laughs or snaps back at you if you ask "stupid questions"

Take ANY other chemistry professor. She yells at you when you ask her questions, doesn't explain material clearly, and is overall very unhelpful/unapproachable. Seriously, take any other chem professor by any means necessary.

By far the absolute worst chemistry professor I've had. She talks very fast assuming everyone is up to speed and understands what she is saying. She does not explain material clearly, and expects everyone to know all the concepts. She got angry at the class and put everyone down because the test scores were not in her favor.

She is a terrible professor, always off-topic. Here accent makes her difficult to understand and her grammar is extremely poor. She is atrocious at explaining things and giving out directions. She nitpicks at EVERYTHING and grades extremely hard.

She is terrible at explaining things, but is really precise with her grading. Her grammar is horrendous and she is difficult to understand. She refuses to answer questions and says "I explained it earlier." She makes you print assignments and labs yourself and DOESN'T explain how to the assignments. She posts work at the last minute through email.

lmfao just dont do that to yourself. extremely disorganized and shows up late to class/ offic hours. if we have a quiz that day she lectures the entire time and gives like 10-15 mins which is not enough time. really the worst professor

If Liu is your only option, I would try to take a chemistry class at De Anza or wait until next quarter. Her lectures are essentially text pulled from the textbook, but her explanation are so convoluted and she tends to get off topic a lot. Can be very rude and condescending at times. Drags out the material and wastes time on basic concepts.

Professor Liu knows her stuff, and if you know you stuff you'll pass this class with ease. The problem with her class is that she is extremely disorganized and difficult to understand. She arrives and finishes late. She talks at the class, not to the class. She has you buy an expensive, TERRIBLE homework service. Be prepared to teach yourself.

disorganized. boring lecture. speaking from someone who had the highest grade in class before the final: don't expect the final to replace your lowest midterm. It's stupidly hard, involving things she did not teach. Half of the class got C and below before final. She did give some extra credits. The lab taught me (different instructor) better.

Beware of tricky exams. Her lectures can be hard to follow, she babbles, and gives surprises on exams. Constantly talking about how hard chem is. Read the text, go to tutoring because she won't teach you everything but guaranteed she'll test you on it. Even top students were blown away by her tests. Would be okay if she actually taught the material

I already have Bachelors degree and been thorugh tough professors at UC. At least they care about you and explains well with lots of help. She gets mad when you ask questions and she keep saying "we talked about this in the class" ok. you said ask questions,so I asked. Ended up blaming you for not paying attention during the class.

She is by far one of the worst professors I've had. She is extremely unorganized, creates assignments the day before it's due, and grades everything to the last detail. She also doesn't post grades until way later, so you won't know what your grade is for a while. Do not take her unless you have to!

She posts hw before she even introduces a topic and expects us to already know what she hasn't even taught yet. She also gets upset if you ask her a question and will yell:"I ALREADY WENT OVER THIS"(even though she literally didn't). She shouldn't even be a teacher. I'd drop it in a heartbeat if it wasn't a required class for my major. Avoid her.

This teacher is super disorganized - it is far better to read on your own and watch videos online because she is extremely confused about the material she is teaching. She needs to understand the material before she can teach it - definitely recommend avoiding at all costs!

genuinely the worst professor i've every had. gives students unclear instructions and then gets annoyed that we aren't prepared. she expects students to be on time, yet is always 10 minutes late to class.

Professor Liu is probably the worst college professor I have had so far. She has been absolutely clueless when it comes to giving instructions in class. The majority of her test and quiz content is content not covered in her lectures, so reading the textbook is an absolute necessity. Get in her good books early on so you can show up late to class.

Worst lecturer I've encountered, her lectures are her just processing her own material half the time. Takes forever to grade lab reports, so much homework and worksheets she doesn't even give the answer keys to half the time.

She is the worst chemistry professor i have ever had. She shows up late for class and is unprepared. She posted the course schedule on week 4 of the quarter. very unorganized which made it difficult for students to succeed. She does not advocate for her students when they are sick or have personal issues. So you can't make up assignments or tests.

The actual class material isn't the most difficult thing if you're comfortable with chemistry, but her as a professor was so stressful. She's disorganized, didn't grade until the end of the quarter, yells at students, and doesn't listen to student feedback. She made the class so much harder than it needed to be. Idk how she's still allowed to teach

I'm currently taking her for Chem 1A lab. She is impatient and can be rude to students. She talks a lot just to say a lot of nothing. Don't waste your time with this professor. She changes her mind (or maybe she forgets) on how she wants assignments to be done and is never really clear on instructions.

Might as well have bombed the world trade center. Actually worst chem professor maybe even professor in general. Speaks in broken English that you can barely understand, extremely rude to students, and gives god-awful tests. She flexes a PhD as if it makes her smart, she couldn't teach a fish to breath under water. would give 0 if possible

Find a different professor asap! Her teaching style is extremely rushed and disorganized, people aren't wrong when they say she's rude when people ask questions. Be ready to study because tests/quizzes are going to affect your grade heavily. Many people in class taught themselves the material, look into tutoring and the stem center.

I'm not trying to leave a malicious comment. However, she has absolutely no idea how to teach, and her grading criteria are vague. The scores for each Lab are often change, and is very strict about attendance. 1 minute late may only get you partial credit, and having a classmate check in for you is not allowed. Ironically, she is often late herself

There was an assignment that was changed to “no late submission allowed” without notifying us, and she also didn't tell us the rules for extra credit, so she often suddenly gives extra credit to certain students, which is extremely unfair. She is completely unfit to be a teacher.

I am an international student from China. There were some vocabulary words I didn't understand on the exam paper, so I asked her about it. She actually told me to retake an ESLL class, even though ESLL is not a requirement for chemistry. This is extremely disrespectful to me, and I will file a complaint with the school.

THE BOTTOM COMMENT IS FAKE. This post is the real one. She is probably the worst prof I've had out of all the professors at Foothill. She grades like her personality (absolutely evil). Just don't take her. If you do, only read and do practice problems in the textbook. DO NOT LISTEN TO HER, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. PRAY TO THE LORD NOW!🙏

SAVE YOURSELF DON'T TAKE HER! During summer session, she would often say "I don't have time" or "I just said it did you listen" when you ask her a question. YOUR ON YOUR OWN! Use textbooks, organic chem teacher!! Strict on getting to class on time. Made people do a presentation during lecture for some reason. Never gave a perfect score on labs! RUN

Bro you know a professor is bad when people are leaving troll reviews 😭😭

In all seriousness though, she's a nice person somewhat, and you can tell that she's knowledgeable about Chem. However, her lectures are terrible and she's very moody. Ironically, her tests weren't that bad but she "balances" this by being a harsh grader (nobody got full credit on any lab report) and having you rely on self studying.

Listen to the reviews, don't think you can handle her! She gave a lot of homework, gives empty unhelpful lectures, is always late to class, is hard to contact, hard to understand, is a harsh grader, and is very disorganised. She also comes off as quite mean even though she's not trying to be. Save your sanity and GPA and go with someone else.
