Chung is the best. He's so engaging and knowledgeable in ALL fields (he now teaches organic and taught math at Harvard). REALLY smart guy. Talk to him after class. He'll get to know you and be more likely to sway your way. Give him a chance! I had a great experience!

He is awesome. He wants you to do well and learn the information. Makes time available for the students. Highly recommend him, especially for organic chemistry!

i love this professor. He's the best. He's clear and very helpful and fair

Most enjoyable teacher I've ever had.Only teaches what you need to know and keeps class interesting,which is not something common at NU.I've never laughed so much in any class,let alone chemistry!Wish I could take every subject with this guy.Do suggested problems and you're guaranteed an A or B.

He kept things interesting by telling lots of antedotes and was always willing to help. He also made sure that the grades of the class were in the A/B range for all of those who showed that they worked for it.

One of the top 3 professor's i've had at Northeastern. Very clear, very helpful. Teaches Organic in a way everyone can understand. Great guy who tries to be funny and you can't help but laugh at the attempt :)

He actually makes it easy to understand organic chemistry....well not easy, but manageable. He makes jokes throughout the class and lets you know what examples are going to be on the tests so there are no surprises

Started off as best teacher but became the worst towards the last 1/4 of the semester. In the beginning he was great, put things in a way you could relate to. At the end it seemed like he stopped caring. The material also gets much harder. In class open-book quiz answers are all from solutions manual ;)

Very funny and does the best he can to give everyone a good grade.

Chung is such an awesome teacher; the best I have had so far. The material is hard but he is so funny, and it is a releif to have a teacher so passionate. He is such a funny guy, and I like going to class. He tells the greatest stories and is one of the few professors that you can tell actually wants to be there.

Not a bad teacher, but he tends to rush through things if nobody asks questions. He has a funny personality though. The course is very helpful for exam reviews.

Chung is a great guy. You'll laugh every day of class, I promise. If you know some basic chemistry, he makes it easy go get the harder stuff. Be amazed at his chalk-board skills.

He definately knew his material, and was avaiable for questions. Not a signle thing that we went over in class was on the exams. The tests were among the most difficult of my life. hes funny, but not very nice out of class.

Chung is the man. Organic chemistry is hard and he definitely understands that. Towards the end of the semester he tends to be more difficult becuase he wants to get through the material. But, he's funny! If you go to class, and use the book, the class is fair.

The man. Good teacher, really smart. Tests are very challenging, have to study hard to do well. Based off both the notes and the book. he is the man though.

Great prof, I had him in the summer so it was really laid back and relaxed. He's a funny guy who clearly explains topics and writes everything on the board. He doesn't grade to hard and doesn't proof read his tests so you'll usually end up getting a few gimmes on every test. Do your work and its an easy A.

Took this class in the summer. It was a lot of material crammed into a short amount of time but chung made it pretty easy to understand. His tests were not very hard. If you study the book you will get an A.

Professor Chung is great. His class is always interesting, though he may get sidetracked sometimes it's nothing too distracting and he usually always get side tracked by something really interesting. He's also kinda funny sometimes. Chung's class is always a good time.

Wicked easy class. Lectures are so good, take down all notes. Its so easy to follow. I didnt read a single page of the text book, fell asleep in class (but still got all his notes) and got an A in the class. His lectures show step by step how to solve problems. Great guy, with funny jokes.

LOVE THIS MAN! Such an easy class. Just read the book and do the homework, and you'll get an A.

Ken Chung is a legond! If you actually study you can get an A, his powerpoint and test questiones are copied right from the book. If you don't go to class read the book, if you do go to class all you need to do is a few practice problems that he tells you to.

LOVE Professor Chung! His lectures are extremely easy to understand since he draws everything out on the board. Doesn't make you memorize anything and says he'll even tell you unit conversions or any equations while taking the test. My interest in Chemistry has increased immensely after taking his class.

Very good prof. To get a good grade in his class you need : 1. Have taken IB or AP (then it's super easy) If you haven't taken APIB , then : 2. Read the book 3. DO THE HOMEWORK!!! - all the questions on tests are from the homework In other words, he isn't a hard teacher, pretty good at lectures . If you do the HW , you will get an A .

If you come to Chung's classes, pay attention, and do the homework you'll do well. He's an enjoyable and funny professor.

My main man ken chung. He is ridiculous but you have to embrace it. I hadn't taken chemistry since sophomore year of hs (not AP) and the class was easy. He knows you're only there for the credit, so he scales a lot. Definitely do not worry about your grade, just show up for the performance.

ken Chung is so nice & funny. sometimes he gets off topic, as most of his teaching is done through examples. his tests are kind of hard but he scales the grades. he helps the class out tho & always answers questions or reviews a lot if a lot of people are confused. sometimes he may assume you know things so ask questions or ask for help. great guy

Grade was determined by three tests. He curves. I may be biased because I like chemistry but the class wasnt terribly hard. Even though he doesn't take attendance go to lectures they are very helpful. The textbook is good for clarifying concepts. Dont buy the new edition, just get the cheaper 8th edition.

I had Ken Chung for orgo and loved him. He knows the material is hard and knows how to break it down so that you can understand it. His practice tests are very helpful for the exams and he reviews a lot. Grade is only made up of 3 exams, but he curves them nicely. He is HILARIOUS and I enjoyed his lectures

I had Ken for general chem for health science majors and loved it. Thought it was pretty easy considering the majority of topics were covered in my high school chem class. He teaches mostly through example problems, so if that's not your style there's many khan academy videos I found helpful. If you go to class, you don't really need the textbook.

Ken Chung was an amazing professor. He taught in a way that was understandable to people who hadn't ever taken Orgo. He also was always able to make us laugh. By far one of my favorite professors ever.

A lot of self-studying is definitely necessary, but he tries and is very funny. Tests are much easier than other professors.

He usually teaches by doing one or two practice problems as a class, and then the rest is on you to teach yourself using the textbook problems he gives you. If you keep up with your work outside of class then you'll be able to understand the information enough to do well on his tests, which are the only thing he grades you on.

Wonderful at explaining complicated concepts. Dr Chung made Organic chem fun and understandable. There is no office hours, however. The best way to succeed is attend lectures and do the hmk.

There were only 2 midterms and an optional final exam, so this class is really graded by few things. The tests are very doable as long as you pay attention in lectures and take good notes. Chung has an amazing personality and keeps you entertained during lectures. Although he goes on tangents often, he explains complicated concepts very well.

He seems to be a nice guy and can be funny but it seems like he goes on tangents. You are graded on 3 exams and there's no finals so if you're a bad test taker like me, don't take his class. He has no office hours and provides minimal feedback. They say if you do the practice problems, you'll be fine but that's not always true

Prof. Chung was funny in class and showed that he was on our side when grading tests. It would've been helpful to have something else in our grade as it only depended on 3 exam grades (all curved). Doing practice problems on the side helps enforce what is being taught.

I thought Kenny boi was so good at teaching he really taught me to expand me mind and he made my eyes open to the world. Truly an inspiration

Chung is a really good professor. Although he doesn't use slides, which would be nice for organizational purposes, I think that the way he teaches is effective. As long as you pay attention/take notes in class, do the practice problems assigned, and ask him questions you have, you'll be fine. 3 tests 1 final. 4 quizzes are only added if boost grade

Professor Chung is decent. His lectures are simply him writing on the whiteboard showing examples. In order to understand what happens during his class, you have to read the textbook and do the textbook questions he posts. He does not require HW, but the only way to succeed in his class is to do the textbook and use his lectures as supplements.

Professor Chung really cares for the student. Lectures are straight from textbook, so definitely want to do optional practice problems. He teaches with no slides (not great), so just pay attention in class w/ good notes. Even met with me and my classmates outside office hours. Lots of effort required, but he's supportive if you ask for help.

Most of your grade will be based off of three tests that he will provide practice preparation for. Its recommended to do the optional textbook problems in order to ensure all your bases are covered. The class environment created by Professor Chung is exceptional and is very entertaining.

Only graded on three exams total, though he is VERY generous with the curve for grades below an A. For this course, taking notes in lectures helps but more importantly do the practice problems in the textbook. Working through those problems was the only way I really learned, otherwise the recitation really helps if you still need more help.

If you took AP Chem you will be extremely prepared -- this course was an easier version of AP chem for me. I never showed up for class and just came to take the exams. I prepared by really studying the practice exams. He only made us take 3 exams, curved them a lot tho. Super kind teacher and funny. I ended with a 100% by doing very little work.

Professor Chung is not only a great professor but a funny and caring person. He definitely cares about his students. The curves for the tests are very generous and the practice exams he gives out are super helpful in studying. You can obtain an A in this class if you use the resources he provides and by going to office hours.

He's amazing for a chem professor. The grade depends on 3 tests. There is a curve but it is applied at the end of the semester. He uses downloadable PowerPoint slides and follows them pretty well, however, there were a couple of topics that were covered that weren't on the slides. He explains concepts very thoroughly so they are easy to understand.

Lectures are long but he keeps you entertained while also explaining concepts. Explains concepts through lots of examples. Tests are hard but the quizzes beforehand are a good indicator of what you know. He wants his students to learn but seems fed up with his job. I liked him but I know a lot of people who had a lot of complaints about his class.

Took his general chemistry course during the Summer I semester. He tends to go a bit off topic throughout his lectures but other than that is a good teacher. He uses analogies and real life examples for topics which helps students make real connections. Pretty easy grader and tends to curve

Was good for gen chem, sometimes goes off topic during lectures but still makes the lectures easy to understand and follow. geniunely wants students to pass the class and curves really generously.

I enjoyed orgo with Prof Chung. I thought his lectures tended to be confusing at times and it was hard to get in touch outside of class, but his exams were pretty straightforward as long as you read the textbook and did homework. It was easy to get a good grade since he curves at the end of the semester and his coursework was pretty chill.

Funniest guy i have ever met in my life as a student. He is passionate about what he is teaching. He is knowledgeable and always come to lecture prepared beforehand. Inspire students to continue the study of organic chemistry. Love him. It is so great to have him as my organic chemistry teacher. Definitely recommended!

Really funny guy. Class is not mandatory, but you should probably go it'll help you learn. He's super unserious and moves kinda fast. However, if you have taken chem in high school you'll be fine. Recitation is basically optional. Only a few tests and they're multiple choice 20 questions and based on the practice problems. Overall good guy and prof

He did not have slides and often went on tangents. Very interesting guy and funny, but I did not learn anything. His practice exams are the actual exams with maybe one or two questions changed. Good GPA boost, but if you plan on taking more chem classes with a different professor you will struggle.

Chung may come off as a bad professor at first--his life is a little over the place. But he tries his best and in the end everything works out he is very nice with grading (good scale and takes off some questions in the final to give us more time). Give him a chance, but I would not take a class you actually really need to learn something with him.

PLEASE take Ken Chung. He is the sweetest and most relatable professor ever. At first it may seem like he does not know how to teach and a little disorganized, but if you show up to ever class and genuinely show him that you are trying to put in effort, he WILL make sure you succeed. Trust me on this one, do not give up on him.

I really liked Professor Chung's class. His teaching style was a little difficult for me to get used to, but if you attend his class regularly and participate you learn a lot from him and he'll be generous with grading. He does seem to be very busy but he tries his best to make time for you if you need help outside of class.

He has an interesting teaching style which can be hard to follow, you honestly won't learn a lot in his class but he is very funny and keeps students engaged. The miderms were basically just practice problems and your grade gets boosted.

Genuinely, Professor Chung is such a nice guy, prone to go on funny side quests mid lecture, but he 100% cares about his students learning. If you supplement lectures with reading the textbook, and DOING THE PRACTICE TESTS, you will get a good grade. He will definitely hit you with a nice curve at the end of the year as well.

Professor Chung is a very funny guy. He always makes students laugh during the lectures. The class is very lecture heavy and is good if you have taken IB Chemistry or AP Chemistry prior, if you haven't, you may struggle a bit due to the fast pacing. He is very caring and will do his best to help you when you're having a hard time with something.

He was funny in a weird awkward not really funny but funny way. I don't think I learned a thing tbh but if you read the textbook you'll manage. Idk if he still does this but for our class our homework was hella extra credit and he curves sometimes on his quizzes. But I've heard recently that he no longer curves lollll

Chung has a bad rep but is genuinely the best chem professor at NU. He is passionate, funny, and very smart. He actually explains the material. Your grade in the class is entirely based on midterms and the final exam but he is generous with extra credit during class. He records his lectures but it is worth going to class.

Orgo 2 is a hard class and no matter who you take, you NEED to put in work OUTSIDE of class. Prof Chung is enthusiastic, tries to be funny, and a good lecturer but is a little unorganized. Exams are based off practice problems. Read the textbook, be willing to learn and you'll be fine. He has a great curve and wants you to succeed, as long as u do

Reading the textbook before class is very helpful. He's not gonna hand out free A's to everyone for no reason. If you do the practice problems (which are very very similar to the exam, sometimes the exact same), you'll be fine. + great curve around 20%! The low reviews on this page are from people who do no work and expect an A. Skill issue.

Professor Chung is a great teacher and a great person. He always tries to be accessible outside of class for his students, and will help you as long as you are willing to put the work in and learn the material. I took both Organic Chemistry I and II with him, and really enjoyed both courses. He also curves final grades (although tests are hard).

He is funny but prepare to hear the same joke repeated every single class & he is kind. He allows for extra credit opportunities in class like "solve this problem for 5 points added to last exam". One of my friends literally failed the first exam and still got an A. If you're taking the class to actually learn organic chemistry II... good luck!

Ken chung is amazing. Not only is he funny, but it's clear that he cares about his students. He makes a ton of funny jokes and gives many extra credit opportunities if you pay attention in class. Just do the practice exams and the tests will be super clear. People who rated him bad are lazy.

Ken Chung is the goat. He is willing to go above and beyond for his students, hosting office hours at 8pm from home and almost everyday on exam weeks even with his busy schedule. If you listen to him in class and do his practice problems you will succeed. He is like a dad in the best way possible and a comedian at heart.

Ken Chung is super smart and funny. His lectures can be a bit confusing, but he provides lots of context and gives extra help before exams. He gives out random 5 point extra credits during the semester. Also he has the most out of pocket jokes. GO TO CLASS, do his review problems, and you will pass. The exams are straightforward. Ken's a goat.

He's very funny and passionate about chemistry and science overall, often incorporating his philosophical interpretations of the stars and human existence into his lectures. His slides are very informational and his exams are very manageable (usually all multiple choice).

Prof Chung was passionate about chemistry and funny, but not the best lecturer. Some of his explanations were unclear and he would overcomplicate simple concepts. However, I liked how he emphasized understanding over memorization. Exams were easy, 20 MCQ each and very similar to practice problems. A good high school chem foundation is very helpful.

Overall, solid class. Professor tends to go off topic, but as long as you attend class you'll understand the foundational material. Exams were similar to practice problems, and only 20 MCQ, meaning if you had a reasonable understanding of the units you did well. Attend class and go to his office hours for extra help, and you'll do good.
