Shes really genuinely sweet and it comes out throughout the semester. She brought candy for kids who were willing to answer out loud and emailed us ways we could better prepare for her exams and admits that the course is content heavy and intense. She cares, but obviously its hard and she tries her best to help students get through

She offers a lot of resources to students who are struggling; she truly want her students to succeed. The homeworks are harder than the test, but the test themselves are heavily weighted. She posts the lectures and provides practice problems, practice exams, and study guides. Overall, a good professor that is easy to work with!

The bad reviews are very deceiving. Professor Ngo is very understanding and there were many times where she pushed due dates back. While her lectures can be hard to follow sometimes, all of her tests were online and not proctored. The only grade that is going to matter will be the final; everything else is easy for a 100. She is an easy A in Chem.

I loved Dr. Ly's class, and despite the many negative reviews, she is a great listener and will help you if you need it. She has extensive homework assignments, but they make you very prepared for the exams. Her lecture notes are very well organized, and her lectures in class are easy to follow if you pay attention. She also gives a lot of bonus!!!

I LOVED THIS LAB. Although it is a lot of physical handwriting, it is more doable and understandable than BIOL 1208 and 1209. My TA was very kind and an easy grader. Midterm is not too bad. Lab is ran by TA, but she is very involved and appears a few times in each lab. Directions for assignments are communicated make sure you pay attention!

Don't trust the other reviews, they're hating fr. If you did well in CHEM 1201, you won't struggle too much with this class. She acts tough, but she cares. Every test is curved. I ended with over a 100 in her class for CHEM 1201 and 1202 and I'm no where near the smartest in the room.

My TA was amazing. Shoutout to Spencer Watts. Dr. Ngo had a pretty straight forward lab. Quiz due before lab, turn in data analysis and data pages for a grade. The midterm and final on the other hand are each worth 25% of your final grade. It will definitely make or break your grade. It is literally a gen chem exam, memorize your formulas.

If you try, you will succeed. This class did not take much effort as I studied like 2 days before the test and got above a 100 on all of them. She curves the tests heavily. I didnt go to class and just went to SI sessions to learn the material. I am definitely not the smartest person in the class either. Take her over Hogan as I learned a lot

I love Dr. Ly, she is really nice and funny. She will work with you if you don't understand and answer all questions in class. I do recommend going to class because she gives good notes from her powerpoints. She doesn't like a lot of talking during lectures, but as long as you pay attention and actually want to learn she's great.

Look, if you are someone who will go to classes and put in the time needed to study and finish homework, you will totally get an A. Sometimes her lectures can be confusing but just watch a YouTube video afterward and you should be fine. I find her in-class presentations and example problems SUPER helpful. If you do struggle just go to office hours!

This class is a breeze if you actually attend the lectures. Her PowerPoint are very helpful and even has opportunities to practice. She can be difficult to understand because of her accent, but overall she teaches the material very well. If you put in the time, this class is easy.

I liked Dr. Ly, but I can see how people found her lectures confusing: She has a heavy accent and gives long homework assignments on Pearson. There were roughly 20 questions per homework and most questions have multiple parts. She doesn't curve the exams very much, but she gives bonus quizzes and wants you to do well. I enjoyed Dr. Ly's class!

Her power points are very detailed but LONG and includes many practice problems which are helpful. She lectures very fast and it can be hard to keep up. Her grading scale is weird but GREAT and the only reason why I'm rating her so high. I made 60s/70s on all exams and 100s on most the homeowork and got an A. Take her if you struggle with chem!!

She herself is a very blunt person but very nice if you get to know her. For lab, my TA was amazing, and all we did was just get the Data Analysis papers and quizzes done on time, with my TA gladly answering any questions I had about the DA. I believe Ngo has the best TA's and structure to her course as I always knew what I was doing.

Dr. Ly is a great professor if you are willing to work. I was hesitant at the beginning of the semester but her class became one of my favorites. Her exams are hard but doable I got a 110 on every one. She doesn't curve but there are so many extra credit opportunities

Dr. Ly is a great professor. She can be harsh but she only wants respect. Exams are a direct reflection of the material covered during lectures and are doable. You will have to put in the work but if you do that this is not an overly difficult course. She also gives lots of easy grades including attendance so that really help your overall grade.

Dr. Ly is a good teacher. She uses worksheets that are easily accessible, which makes it easier to learn. She posts practice exams that are just like the exams that she gives us.

Dr. Ly is strict but a great professor that wants you to learn. The homework was tedious, but definitely the best chem teacher I've ever had. She has an accent but is really not hard to understand, just go to lecture and do the practice and you will pass. Exams are short and easy with bonus Q's. Gives candy if you get an A!

attendance is mandatory, although not graded. I can say that i went to about a handful of lectures the whole semester and still passed with a B. Reads off of powerpoints and speaking for myself for any class i can't learn like that so i did have to teach myself.

I felt like she was a Good professor, she taught the information well and would explain if we had questions. She offers bonus points in every test and her study guides are extremely helpful. Would definitely offer this class to nursing students who are taking chemistry.

I loved Dr. Ly, though she is a bit strict. No talking is tolerated in her class, but it made it a lot easier to focus for the lecture. Weekly quizzes and 3 homeworks before each exam that are LONG, but really help with the exams. Exams are almost the exact same questions as practice exams and homeworks. Do the work and you'll get a great grade.

She can be scary in person, but her class was pretty easy. Her lectures have a ton of practice problems, and her exams are basic. She also curves like every exam.

Had her for both 1201 and 1202 and it was a breeze. A+ in both. Never went to class. Her exams were practically a replica of the practice exams. Just be prepared for a lot of homework because it's worth 30% of your grade but the homework helped a lot for the exams. She can be scary sometimes but the class was very doable if you put some effort in.

she comes off very hard but she is really dedicated to teaching her students and gives them as much aid as she can. do not try to talk in her class because she will threaten to kick you out and the slides that she uses are very helpful when studying. GO TO CLASS! she gives a lot of extra credit, so i recommend doing it because it boosts the grade.

this class is run by TAs and I was lucky to get a good one. some of the TAs are extremely picky on how they grade but they are very consistent on the things they want you to do. also, compared to other lab courses, this chem lab course was easily the most fun lab i've taken so far. midterms and finals are hard, but just review the study guide.

She's the best CHEM 1005 professor, especially for nursing students. She really cares and gives helpful ways to learn the material. She might seem strict at first, but it's only because she wants us to focus and do well. She's super helpful and explains things clearly. I highly recommend her!

Everyone always says she's harsh and assigns a lot of work... but I feel like it all balances out at the end. I feel like she cares about her students; that's why she assigns so much homework, so we can get enough practice. If you go to Si sessions and stay on task, you will be fine.

I think Dr. Ly is an exceptional 1201 instructor. She is strict when it comes to talking in her class but everything else is fine, a strong accent but you tend to get used to it after the first 2 days of class, she gives alot of extra credit and homework that helps balance your grade out in the end, can fail an exam and still pass her class.

As much as I did not like Dr. Ly in the beginning of the semester I realized she truly does want us to pass and she really helped me understand chem. Yes she assigns a lot of homework, but doing the homework is the main way I studied and I did good on all the tests. Her exams are just like the practice exams.

Freshman Year I was extremly nervous coming in and being placed in her class after I came on here and looked at her reviews. She is a little hard to understand at some points in heer lectures, but overall she is really good and the class is fairly easy if you try. So many bonus opportunities if you do all the homework and quizzes you should pass.

Do all homework, quizzes, and when you study read the back of each chapter where is says "what to know", go on pearsons e text and search up the bullet points and you will do perfectly fine.

Take her!! I failed my first exam and I have an 100 A+ in the class right now. She gives so much extra credit and the practice exams that she gives are almost exactly like each test. Only bad thing is that there is alot of typos on practice exams and normal exams but she gives back the credit.

This class is heavily dependent on your TA. I had an amazing TA, and she was so sweet and understanding, but my friends had TAs that were harsh graders. This class isn't really hard and does eventually line with with what you're learning in CHEM 1202. Just do your work and actually try in the class and you'll be fine.

i love Dr. Ly tbh. Her class is easy as long as you do all your work, show up to class every time, and study before tests. Her grading is extremely clear and organized. She also cancelled class before thanksgiving break and changes class to virtual when it gets cold which I appreciated. She is strict but reasonable!

Do not let her scare you, as long as you go to class, pay attention, and do the work/study, you will pass. She explains things clearly in lecture and is open to questions. She also gives LOTS of extra credit and the final is only worth 15% of your grade! She can be hard to reach in person. The class is difficult but she is a great professor.

Dr. Ly was a good professor. She moved a little fast. She has an accent, but it isn't hard to understand. Tests weren't hard as long as you studied, and SOME practice tests were exactly like test. If you miss a class, you'll fall behind. Don't let her intimidate you; show up, pay attention, and COMPLETE THE HOMEWORK & GROUP WORK. Please STUDY!

I enjoyed Dr. Ly's class. She's strict, but also reasonable. The class is easy as long as you show up to class and pay attention, complete all of your work, and study before the exams. I barely passed the exams, besides 2; however, if you do extra credit & other work she assigns, you'll be fine! She also cancelled class before thanksgiving break!

Her lectures can be very confusing but if you dont understand the lecture, she posts them before class. It is important that you do all of her homework and extra credit. I failed all of the exams with high Fs but did all of the extra credit, homework, and quizzes and ended with a B in the class. She sets you up to do well in the class.

Her class is amazing! For instance, her exams are identical to the practice exams she gives in class with the exception of her final. Prepare for the final to be difficult as it is department wide, it will be nothing like the practice exam she gives. However, if you take advantage of the extra credit she gives during the semester you will do fine.
