Professor Seyam is a wonderful professor. She cares about seeing her students succeed. She's very knowledgable of chemistry, a great professor, and very funny! Exams are not hard, just need to go over the homework problems and read the PowerPoint she uses in class. Take her if you can!
Awesome Professor. Her PowerPoints are great. Her exams from the homework. She gives extra credit and great review for the final exam. Highly recommend.
This is one of best professor that I have ever met ...
Very talented professor. She is the best chemistry professor at BMCC.
Prof. Seyam is the best! She really wants her students to do well and is very kind and considerate. Lectures are fun and not boring. If you don't understand something she is always willing to help after and outside of class. On top of all this she offers extra credit! Would definitely take any chemistry class with her
Professor Sayem, honestly, is my favorite professor. Not only does she explain how to navigate complex chemical equations, she truly cares about her students. She loves teaching and she loves chemistry. It is very clear. If you are reading this I hope that you get the chance to take her general chemistry classes!!! You will not regret it.
Professor Seyam is very knowledgeable about chemistry and passionate about her job. she makes sure that everyone is getting the subject and provides a lot of materials for you to learn. very helpful outside class, either during office hours or via email. always provided valuable feedback which worked as a great guidance. awesome professor!!!!!!!
Take this professor for chem202 at BMCC. I actualyl understand chemistry now and that is thanks to her lectures and power points. We rarely use the book. She's really good at what she does and it's so difficult to find a good chem prof. Do ALL of the homeworks and you will be fine.
Prof Seyam one of the best professors i ever had, pay attention in class do your homework study for the exam and you will get an easy A .
Professor Seyam was a great professor. She gave you enough time to review. 4 exams and 1 final. VERY CLEAR, VERY CONCISE, VERY PATIENT, VERY SOPHISTICATED. Not only an Easy A, you will definitely learn a lots. Take her if you want to learn chemistry and get a good grade.
Professor Seyam is awesome!!! She really wants you to learn Chemistry. The course material is tough and she give you what you need to know to do well on the tests if you do the work. She was always there for me whenever I had a question or could not understand something. She encourages all students to do very well and helps every way she can
She cares about chemistry and you as a student. Professor Seyam encourages you to reach your potential and get the highest grade that you are capable of earning (because you must earn it!). She does give a lot of homework, but it is for your own good to prepare you for exams. I would sign up to take her class again if given the chance.
Professor Seyam is honeslty the best chem professor. Chemistry is a bit complicated but with her you will love it, she'll make it easy and fun.
Prof. Seyam one of the best teachers Ive ever had. She makes chemistry very easy. Honestly professor Seyam is an awesome professor. I strongly recommend her shes so helpful and kindness.
Love professor Seyam. Caring lady that explains you materials in few simple steps. Load of hw is an usual thing in all chemistry, math, physic, science courses in general. Because these courses demand a lot of practice to better understand and master them. Would recommend her to all those that want to learn. Would not recommend her for lazy ones
Professor Seyam is a great professor. The Lectures are clear and powepoints are enough to understand the topics. I find her homeworks extra helpful for preparing for exams. If you do your part its an easy A. Did I mention extra credits? Yeah, she gives enough to boost your grade by a letter but ofcourse you have to warn them. Would take her again!
Awesome professor! Very straightforward. If you do your part of work, she will absolutely reward you accordingly. Would take her over and over. Sad that she doesnt teach upper level Chemistry. PS not good for lazy students ��
She is the best professor ever at BMCC . If you want to do well in chemistry , than take her since she cares a lot about her students too much ....
I took professor Seyam for my Chemistry 202 class. This class is not baby stuff, so you can't expect it to be easy. Do your work, participate, do practice problems pockets, and you will be ok. She is willing to explain and she is a very nice lady. I would take her again and would recommend her to others.
She is a easy professor if you have a strong chemistry background. However, she give 5 exams overall and all multiple choices. Likewise, she is super strict about her class and judgemental.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! She has a soothing voice that keeps your full attention during her lectures , she explain clear, she always answers querying for the homework, and a plus: every time we have an exam, she schedules meetings to solve any questions an hour before the exam!!! The labs are well guided but dont underestimate her, she is tough!!
very brilliant, timid in demeanor so it's hard to stay focused during the lecture. She doesn't encourage you to think scientifically. Ask questions in her class because she's not very reassuring about grades or labs w/ instructions. NOT LENIENT WITH GRADING, FOUR EXAMS PLUS A 5TH EXAM THAT'S EXTRA CREDIT, NOTHING GETS DROPPED
This class was an absolute win!! The professor has a soft voice that kept all of us paying attention at all times. Her explanations are clear and all questions are always answered. She gives 4 exams and one extra credit exam that boost your final grade by one letter grade or even more. All material used during class was perfect. AMAZING PROFESSOR!
Took Chemistry 101 With this Professor, Honestly one of the Best Professors at Bmcc. Make sure to study a lot. She explains everything with detail, really nice Professor.
Prof. Seyam is probably one of the best CHE professors at BMCC. She is very helpful and considerate. Her responses to emails is very prompt. She gives the students an option to take extra credit exam to score better. I'd definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor Seyam is a great professor, she ensures that her students understand each and every topic. Do your part and you definitely will come out with a good grade. Attendance to lectures are not mandatory but REMEMBER the more you participate in any class the more professors are able to see your understanding. Again great professor!
Shes a decent professor overall. Her lectures are clear and concise, and her PowerPoint Slides are helpful. The only downside so far is that she is very strict with grading (no silly mistakes or you get a zero) and inaccessible outside of class, which isnt great when were in the middle of a pandemic so everything is online.
Prof. Seyam lectures are very clear. The class is difficult but the way she lectures makes it simple and easy to understand. She is always helping me in a private session during her office hours whenever I request it. She gives extra credit to improve your final grade. But she doesn't like students copy lab answers from solution manual. Great prof
Professor was very knowledgable and taught chemistry very well. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you take a course during a day and time you can definitely show up to. After lecture she puts up her powerpoints as a PDF so it is printable. I would take a course of hers again, and highly recommend!
Professor Seyam is an amazing teacher as she is able to take difficult concepts and simply them for her students. I truly enjoyed her lectures and how she teaches highly recommend!
Some professors are good IN PERSON, some ONLINE. I don't think Prof. Seyam is a good ONLINE professor. The calculations she used to determine our grade was CRAZY. Had her for lecture & lab. She took attendance @ various times. Did NOT respond to emails w/questions on confusing syllabus & just was NOT good online. Paper was 5% Skip it. Save ya GPA.
This professor is great. She gives 5 tests and they're all open book. she give multiple chances for homework all week. If you have a question during the lecture, she happily answers. Not a hard professor. Everything is clear on her syllabus. The labs she gives you are on subjects already covered so nothing is new and its just a refresh. 10/10
Professor Lamiaa Seyam is very thoughtful, she make sure you understand the material before moving forward. My favorite Prof. thus far. I really enjoy her class.
she is one of the most sweetest professor i ever met. she is a fun person and she explains the work clearly and perfectly and the girl who pit bad reviews on her name even though it is her fault but she was blaming the professor and being disrespectful towards the professor!
Professor Lamiaa Seyam is the best ever, really great explanation of topics, caring and dedicated. I would defiantly recommend this professor.
Everything was clearly explained and all questions were answered through class. As long as you did the homework and used the material she provided it was easy to follow along. I'm not sure what those other negative reviews are about me and most of my classmates really enjoyed the class. I wish other professors were as thorough and respectful.
She knows this course in detail and answers all the questions. You can stay back after class ends and she will be there to help you. This class is my first Chemistry class and professor Lamiaa made it easy to understand. She encourages you to learn for life, not just for this class
class was not engaging enough. the professor talked the entire time. slide after slide. i could have just watched a video recording
She is an amazing professor!! All you have to do is pay attention in her class and you'll be able to follow through. It's easy to pass her class, just show up and complete every assignment. She makes her lessons easy to understand and she makes sure everyone is following through before she continues her lesson.
Professor Seyam is one of the most caring and understanding Professors I've ever met. She made the lecture easy to understand. She takes easy on her student and guides us to understand the topic fully, and If you don't get it, she wouldn't mind repeating it and explaining it more in the way you would understand.
Amazing professor, she's very respectful of her students. Her lectures are easy to understand. She encourages class participation so that she can see how well her students understand the class content and concepts. She's very responsive when we have questions. I would highly recommend her as a professor.
Prof. Lamiaa Seyam is one of the nicest and the most helpful professor you will find in BMCC. She does her best to make sure you are understanding the material. Just make sure you ask her questions if you have confusion.
The worst professor I have ever taken. She may be a good in person teacher but was the complete opposite online. From the beginning she made smart remarks when students asked her for help. every time a person asked for help during lecture she would get annoyed & tell them she doesn't get what they dont undertand. would argue & single people out.
Doesnt give you the tools to succeed and gets mad at you for even asking a question. Very bad attitude and never responds to emails. Will give you a 2 hr exam and then make you sit for lecture while she reads off of about 70 slides and wont provide the slides to after so youre stuck trying to write down all the information.
Prof. Lamiaa if not the best chemistry professor in BMCC, she is one of the best professors in the college. She is very kind, patient and helpful. She is very organized and makes the lecture simple as much as she can. Her exams are fair enough, but remember Chemistry 202 its a heavy class so you have to put a lot of effort. Take her don't hesitate.
Can be frustrating and even if she says that attendance is not mandatory, you'll struggle if you don't attend. Also can be a bit argumentative when issues are brought up against her.
take my advice & RUN don't walk, RUN! you won't regret it. she's argumentative & disrespectful towards students. also reads off slides & gets upset when you ask her to explain anything or if you have any questions. the most stressful class I've ever taken because she chose to make it that way.
Professor Lamiaa , great professor, she explained material very well, if you don't understand something, you can ask her, she is nice and explain things easy. Do your labs on time and class won't be hard..
The class was so bad and terrible! don't take her.
Professor Seyam was truly an amazing professor! Very clear and to the point - after having many chem professors who were a lot tougher to understand, Professor Seyam was a breath of fresh air!! Exactly what you want in a chem professor. She also really cares about her students and want them to do well. 5 stars!!!
All wat I can say is she explains materials very clearly and it's an easy "A" class.
Great professor and easy exams
The professor does not take the time to help students understand concepts covered, and whenever you ask a question she just gives generic answers that do not help you understand the concept. She is definitely not the best chemistry teacher I've had, and would do good for her students if she made her lectures more informative and interesting
Very professional, pleasant in demeanor and patient. She is also organized with her slide distribution on blackboard and I have not had a problem taking a test. You have to buy a textbook and research to understand and pass. Go on YouTube for supplement assistance. I would take her again. Want to impress her?? Do your work.
Nice Professor in personality, but gives so much busy work that it can get confusing during the study process. When a student asked if we needed a book for the class she said only if you want to do more research on the chapter(s). Wrong. You do need it and get tests arent solely on her PowerPoint lectures. Youll have to know the chapters in/out.
Professor was always flexible and understanding. Her lectures are very simple and clear. She solves plenty of exercises after each section to help you understand the topic. All her exams are multiple choice and on Blackboard. Youll see your exam score once the exam ends. All exams and lab grades available on BB for you to estimate your grade. A+
Professor Seyam is a wonderful chemistry professor and she truly cares about all of her students. If you participate in her lectures and review her handouts available on Blackboard, you will be well-prepared for her exams. She is also very accessible outside of class time, so feel free to reach out to her if you have any questions.
I took Chemistry in the Fall of 2020 when online classes were the only option. Even though it was online, Professor Seyam encouraged participation by stopping the lectures to work through problems and get our feedback. I found this really helped me to understand the material. She was always willing to explain. I enjoyed her class.
Very clear explanations of the material, and a lot of in class practice to make sure you understand the concepts for the tests. She even give you handouts so that you don't have to memorize all the formulas by heart. The labs are simple, but fun to do as a group. Overall the class was a breeze, would take again!
I don't know what to say. She a basic professor. Nothn big. oh she doesn't care if you have proof that justifies you absence btw. An absence is an absence, you miss class, theres no what you get a good grade. Which is a bit careless, not human like but whatever, she's chill. I dunno fr.
Professor Seyam is amazing. The materials are tough but the way she explains make the class easy to understand. She offers extra credit to help us improve our grades. I love her class.
Clear explanation. I would take again.
She is very clear and caring. A+
This prof is amazing wants her students to pass! she gives you extra credit and many chances at passing. the labs were fun. tbh if you study, put in effort dont procrastinate you will pass!! main reason I got the grade I did was simply for not putting enough effort and being lazy. attendance is mandatory but worth it! TAKE THIS PROF ITS WORTH IT!
Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. Really cares about her students and wants them to pass. As a shy person, I often have difficulty voicing myself when I don't understand something. However she is the type that will go over what she says in a different approach if she senses the class is lost. So if you try, you will pass!
I haven't rate any professor at BMCC before this is my first time. I dislike her honesty I will say she obviously disliked me too . Don't be happy if you are doing well in labs as it means nothing is only like 10% of your grade… to pass the class you are supposed to get better grades on all her 5 exams she gives in person.
Her character is very unqiue and takes away any fear from you, very approachable, you can ask hundreds of the same question and she is willing to go over them with a geniune smile. The way she explains i couldnt ask for nothing more, any lay man would perfectly and highly understand. I would definately miss her. My best Professor ever
I was a bit hesitant by the reviews given on here for Prof. Seyam but I took her for Fall 2025 Semester at BMCC and my experience was wonderful. She's very willing to help you out any way she can!! Her exams are all mc and she does extra credit. She also gives out practice questions which does help out a lot on her exams, making it easy to pass.
She lacks empathy and understanding for her students. Very dismissive and doesn't work with them. There are no make-ups for labs, exams, or classes. She can come across as condescending. Attendance and deadlines are a must. In my opinion, she is not the most approachable professor. The work itself is not hard if you study.
This professor is easily one of the best I've had in my time at this school. Her lectures are incredibly clear, her exams are fair, and she's always willing to help out when needed. I can confidently say I've improved in this subject thanks to her. She's a very kind and attentive professor. If you can take her, I highly recommend it.
Truly a gem. Lecture explains everything so well. Exams reflect everything taught in class. Do ALL the review questions and you will get an A. Take her she's super sweet!
Professor is very fair. Gives clear practice questions of what will be on exam. Gives extra credit and is very nice. I am usually not good at chem but managed to do well on all exams. Just study her practice questions.
Professor Lamiaa is an amazing professor. Her material is very straightforward and quizzes are really easy. Do the labs and you will be good. She really cares for her students and she is very understanding! Definitely consider taking her.
This professor is really great! She provides clear material to help you prepare for the exams and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She also takes the time to review the material with youb
Professor Lamiaa is an amazing professor. She really cares for her students and she is very understanding. She is really sweet and kind. Her material is straightforward and quizzes are very easy! Labs are very straightforward too. Overall, definitely take her if you are considering!
Honestly If I could rate professor Seyam a 10 I would. She's definitely the meaning of a professor that cares. She tried her best to make sure we understood the material and exhausted all possibilities in which she could. You don't meet a lot of professor who care so when you do come across one it's important that you give them their flowers!!
She is BEYOND disrespectful and rude. You ask her for help and she becomes stern with an attitude
Professor Seyam cares about her students in her own way. She'll explain course content when asked nicely, but not when she's actively being disrespected by fellow classmates. Some might think she's abrasive or cold, but most of us are here to learn something about chemistry, even if we'll have little to no use for chemistry after the semester ends
She is mean
professor is great unless and explains concepts really well. exams are so fair, do ALL the review sheet qs and its the same exact qs. take this class if you are applying to competitive programs because you will do good, easy A! students writing bad reviews are fooling around and may have got cheating on her exams, oops!
great professor, explains concepts so well. do ALL the review sheets and its the same qs on the exam, easy A especially if you are applying to competitive programs. people writing bad reviews were fooling around and may have got caught cheating, OOPS !!!
This has by far been the best professor. She has truly been my trump card for success. Her class also had a way of turning strangers into friends, creating a supportive and welcoming learning environment. So just attend class, utilize her practice exams, study, and you will earn the grade you're aiming for. I promise' enroll now and thank me later.
Returning to college, this was easily the strongest professor I've had. She played a huge role in my success. Show up, take advantage of her practice exams, and put in the work & the results will follow. Her class also created real connections, turning classmates into friends. Sign up and thank me later.
Professor Seyam can be strict, but she is very clear with her instructions and expectations. Right off the bat, she tells students exactly how to succeed in her class: come to lab prepare and arrive on time! As long as you do read the textbook and do the practice questions, you will do well. I would definitely take her class again.
She is very kind and professional. She gives extra credit, and attendance is very important.
This class isn't hard if you study and do the home works. She was very straightforward and very kind. She gives a lot of extra credit. Her exam review sheets are exactly like the exams and she adds homework questions on the exams as well. I highly recommend taking her class.
Professor L.Seyam is very good and nice Professor. She explains very clear even if you don't understand she can go over it again. Of course CHE 121 hard it self but if you don't skip her classes and study, it's easy to pass. She has a lot of extra credits group work sometimes.If you need extra help you can ask her she'll definitely help.
She is very kind, patient, and always willing to help everyone to pass. She offers extra credit and takes the time to answer questions to make sure everything is clear. But, it's important to read the lab manuals before class to have a basic understanding of the material and procedures, or the labs can be a bit confusing.
