SHE is AWESOME!! shes a GOD SEND! she explains everything so well, with some humor. Please u will not regret it! BY fAR the BEST CLASS because of her i have ever taken. SHe gives quizzes everyday but they are very understandable, she goes over whats going to be on the test and gives us study guides. You will love her from the first class.
this has to be one of my best experiences as a student.Never met any proffessor like her,very nice,very polite and loads of fun.she made cehmistry seem very easy.She knows her subject matter. I will take any class she is teaching,just for the fun she will make of it.
She is the best professor I ever had, who cares about her students. Chemistry is hard, but she makes it easy and fun. I love her easy to remeber tricks. She is very helpful, and explains problems really clear. I wasn't interest in chemistry before, and now I find myself want to learn more about chemistry. Thanks to you Ms. Tsoi!!
Never had this kind of instructor since I started GPC. Overall, she is the best. Not only she made the class instresting, but knew the materials very well. Her way of teaching can make dummies love what they hate. She bends over for her students to put more effort in class. Stays in class to offer extra help. What else can you ask for, but Dr Tsoi.
easy hot fun smart your an idiot if you dont take her bottom line.
She is AWESOME. She is the best teacher I have even had. If you want a good teacher she is the one. She is very helpful. She goes out of her way for all of her students.
She is the best teacher. No wonder people get excited about Chemistry. She has me thinking of changing majors to teaching. I would take any class offered if she was taking it.
Very flexible and enjoys her job! Don't miss out on this easy A-B. Enjoy the asian sensasian!
she is the worest teather ever. I fill like I 'm stuck in this class. Always talks about herself make you feel stupid when you ask her questions and b/s she assume you know every thing. The fact is that we are there to learn. We would't be there if we know the material.
She is an awesome teacher. Makes learning the material fun and easy!! Very leneant on quizes and such. Definately reccomend her. :o)
Dr. Tsoi is great. Makes the material fun and is just as interested in getting out of class as you are. Very lenient on quizzes and labs and is more interested in making sure you get it than with the minute details. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
EASY ANS CRAZY!!!
Very hyper! She even will get you out of class early, like 2hrs eary. She likes to skip stuff in the workbook.
Dr. Tsoi is awesome. I plan on taking her for anything that I can. She makes the class fun and easy to understand. Definitely one of the best teachers I have ever had.
She's an AWESOME TEACHER! Labs are fun, easy, exciting, and enjoyable! She doesn't like it when students copy each other's work, but if you don't understand something, you can call her anytime of the day except after 8PM. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Great Class. Highly recommend. If you pay attention to directions and do your work (DO NOT COPY, DO NOT CHEAT), you are guranteed an A. Labs were easy and fun. The tests were even easier if you paid attention in lab.
Great class. I actually enjoyed going to this class. Labs were fun, and tests were easy as long as you did the lab. Dr. Tsoi is fabulous and loves to teach. Super helpful, but hates when people copy others' work. Don't forget goggles. She charges $1 to borrow some. Show up, pay attention, and you'll get an A.
Dr Tsoi Rocks. She keeps the class fun with her quirky comments. I HATE Chemistry, but I totally didn't dread going to her class.
She is the best at what she does. She is EXTREMELY helpful. I highly recommend her. i only wished she was teaching the lecture. if u do drugs, quit now :P so u can take her class!
She is funny. Her class was easy.
She is a good teacher. I took Chem Lab with her. I got more help from her than from my lecture teacher. I hope she would consider teaching lecture too.
No Comments
I had her as a Chemistry teacher back in High School. She has now became a professor. I could have chosen her as my chem 1212 Lab professor, but she is not teaching chem 1212 Lecture therefore I did not take her. Great Professor and a as a teacher! Nothing else can describe her.
She is the great professor!!She has special talent in teaching. She explains well. Her lecture is very fun, easy,interesting.She is very kind, nice person,too. Take her class!! It's really good.
She really is a lifesaver. Makes Chemistry fun to learn. Has a great sense of humor and makes you actually want to come to class. Has great ways to make learning easy and memorable. By far the best teacher I have ever had in my life because she actually cares about her students and makes sure you know what you need to.
great professor; makes the material interesting and memorable. cares about students needs. is often late because of child...
BEST CHEMISTRY TEACHER EVER!! SHE'S HILARIOUS..YOU WILL DEF NOT SLEEP IN HER CLASS..REAL DOWN TO EARTH AND MAKES CHEMISTRY FUN AND UNDERSTANDABLE
Dr. Tsoi is the best CHEM teacher at GPC! She really cares that students understand the course material. She is always willing to spend extra time with those who need help. Chemistry is generally boring and the texts are a dry read; but because Dr. Tsoi loves to teach chemistry, she does so with lots of enthusiasm and makes it fun to learn.:) THX!!
BEST TEACHER EVER!
best teacher i have ever had. i hated chemistry and was horrible at it until I took it with Dr.Tsoi. she gives you a lot of interesting and helful ways to remember everything and is very good a t what she does. not only is she a great teacher but she is hillarious and believe it or not made chemistry fun! you have to take her!!!
GREATEST TEACHER I EVER HAD AT GEORGIA PERIMETER!!! This teacher will go beyond her academic duties to make sure you understand the material and will do WHATEVER it takes to make you pass the course. If you didn't like chemistry before, you will after you have taken her course. She makes learning very interesting and fun! Explanations are clear!
She is the one of the best professors in GPC...! If you lost she would teach you until you understand. Her class is really fun... take her class... you'll know!!!
Dr Tsoi is the best chemistry teacher evvverr!! she makes chemistry soo easy and soo much fun!!!
she is so behind on her work. She also forgets easily. Not very prepared for class.
Great Proffesor, she is always there when you need help. Always available to tutor...and is willing to work things out with you if you are struggling in her class. I would take any class she would teach in a heartbeat.She is always looking for ways to make her class interesting, and it works. LOVE being part of Team TSOI!
Dr. Tsoi really cares about whether the students learn the materials or not. And she uses many different teaching styles to keep the classes interesting.
DR. TSOI IS THE SHIZZZZ!!!!!!!
Wonderful professor. She is kind hearted and hard working. She does demonstrations to stimulate the class's learning. I hate listning to a boring teacher and she is awesome because she is far from boring! Take this class if you want a great teacher who really loves her job and students!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! She's great. She relates her lessons to real life events which makes everything a lot easier to remember. She understands her students and does whatever she is able to do to help her students out.
Dr. Tsoi is a great teacher! She works her butt off to help her students in any way she can. Also she is really good at relating concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
A really gifted professor. Makes learning fun and interesting. Gives examples that clarify understanding the concepts presented. She is truly interested in our learning the material. She made teaching preparation a priority so received some criticism for returning graded papers, etc but I felt the teaching preparation should always be a priority.
I love her! She's an AMAZING teacher! expect the unexpected....makes class fun :)
Dr.tsoi is a very interesting teacher. She makes the class fun.And she is willing to sit with you one on one and teach you what you dont understand. She may be disorganized but she tries her best.
Where do I start with Dr. Tsoi. She was my favorite teacher. She helped me in class, and was always there when I need advise. She's the best chemistry professor out there. All I can say to everyone is that be part of TEAMTSOI!!
She is a wonderful teacher. She helped me a lot on deciding what courses to take. She is laid back and one can pretty much talk to her about anything, very good listener. Im very grateful for having her as my advisor.
It was a great experience, the class was fun to be in. She had made orgo much easier than it seem.
Dr. Tsoi is EXTREMELY helpful in and out of class!
Dr. Tsoi!! She is Awesome, if you are alergic to awesome, she is not the teacher for you. She will make you understand everything! I have her for Organic Chemistry, and let me tell you, we always had fun in class, and learned ofcourse haha but let me just tell you, these courses in general are not something you can just easily get A's, so don't thi
OMG,if you are in her class,you will say that is the class I never had in your life.!!!
Best teacher ever! Make everything easy to understand.
This professor is very helpful and fair. Also super smart!
The best Chem teacher ever! She makes learning interactive and fun. Very enthusiastic. Truly wants you to learn. She will meet with you for additional help outside of class, or take your call to help walk you through a problem. Tough class, but excellent teacher! Highly recommend!
this is the BEST instructor in TOWN!!!! TSOI ROCKS!!!
Great professor!
Awesome professor.
This teacher is an extremely enthusiastic person about the subject she teaches;I like her energy, her witty analogies an her willingness to help out her students. The only thing I want her to stop is to stop telling her students when the answers are wrong on a quiz before turning in the quiz. This does not help the students remember material well.
She is awsome and is always willing to help! You will not regret taking her, especially if you want an interesting class! If you are boring and don't like jokes or to laugh don't take her. SHE IS GREAT!!!!
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing professor! She is really nice and helpful. Also, she is very funny and keeps the class interesting. The only hard part of the class was the fact that Chemistry is hard to begin with. Dr. Tsoi goes out of her way to help her students. If you need Chemistry, take Dr. Tsoi!
Helpfull and fair
Dr Tsoi is a fantastic teacher. she is fair with grading and does give extra credit opportunities. she is very willing to work with students who need help or are struggling. she will do whatever she feels necessary to assist in learning and understnading the material. definitely recommended to take her class.
Dr.Tsoi is AWESOME! I highly recommendher.She is open to all questions and even pushes you to call her on her cell phone. She offers extra credit opportunities and is always open to suggestions. She is very enthusiastic and makes the class fun! I also took Organic I with her. She made a notoriously intimidating subject easily understandable.
Great teacher that is very enthusiastic about organic chemistry. She makes it clear and moves at a good pace. Her quizzes and tests are not hard and her hard questions are usually extra credit. Take her!!
Dr. Tsoi is by far the best teacher here at GGC. She is willing to help her students in class, as well as outside of class. She encourages you to text/call her outside of class. ORGO is really hard, but by takin he, she made the class very easy. if a student didnt get something, she would come up with ways to make her students understand better! :]
Great Teacher and uses great methods to help out during quizes and tests. Best teacher I've had since middle school!
funny, entertaining and makes the material easy to remember
Greatest professor I have had yet at GGC. She is young enough to connect with students and make them laugh. She is enthusiastic about teaching and wants all her students to do the bes and succeed. There were not many days were I did not receive and email from her about extra help or more information. Take this professor for whatever class needed!!!
she is awesome and makes chemistry so fun! i love this teacher!! definitely my favorite college professor!
GREAT TEACHER. VERY HELPFUL AND ENTERTAINING. I DIDN'T LIKE WHEN WE WENT OVER MATERIAL RIGHT BEFORE QUIZ...THIS METHOD IS CONFUSING! I THINK, WHATEVER MATERIAL THAT IS ON QUIZ SHOULD BE DISCUSSED PRIOR TO QUIZ....MAYBE THE DAY BEFORE QUIZ!!
So she is the best teacher ever. Just take whatever class she is teaching. I took her for OrgoI and I miss her a lot because she isn't teaching OrgoII this semi. She is simply AWSOME and GREAT!! Easy A..
great teacher! one of the best I have ever had. She really cares about her students and as long as you show effort, you will do fine! She teaches in her own unique style and is really easy to absorb. Keep in mind this subject is not an easy one, but she will break it down in lament terms. Take her, you won't regret it!
by far the best teacher I have had so far at GGC. She is entertaining, which makes learning this hard material fun. She genuinely cares about her students and will bend over backwards to help you. i LOVED Dr. Tsoi and am SO glad she is teaching orgo 2 this summer! :)
Dr. Tsoi is definitely the most involved teacher I have ever had. She really loves her job. She is always there to help of you need something and her examples are so original and funny that you always remember, and makes a hard subject a lot easier. She is the best.
Dr. Tsoi made a difficult and sometimes overwhelming subject more manageable with her teaching style. She is passionate about teaching and students "getting it." Her everyday analogies really helped make Organic achievable. Glad I don't have to take Organic 2, but if I did, I would definitely take it with Dr. Tsoi.
she's great
this subject was so hard for me, and i'd almost given up on it but dr.Tsoi made it EPIC. best. professor. ever. ever.
Dr. Tsoi was a really great professor. She made something like orgo, which i was petrified to take, very understandable. Her analogies were really amazing and her desire to go the extra mile to help was appreciated. This was not an easy class but she did her best to make it manageable. Do your part in her class and she will help you succeed.
Dr. Tsoi is very funny. Organic being one of the hardest science classes, she managed to make that class fun and very entertaining. I learned a lot and I'm taking her for Organic II as well. TAKE HER! SHE IS AWESOME!!
I took Dr. Tsoi for both organic chemistry I&II because she is a really fun teacher. This is a hard subject that she makes a lot easier. Everyone should pick her if they have the chance!
Dr. Tsoi is an awesome teacher. She is very understanding & she makes the class so easy. Take her for Orgo I&II. Practices, practice, practice, and the A is yours.
She makes relatively dry subject matter easy to connect with. Don't be a "skimmer" in her class read the material. If you don't practice the problems you are sunk.
Uses unforgettable metaphors and clear/easy explanations. Always there for a hand. Will keep explaining until you understand the information. Her testing is straight forward from what she teaches.
Took her organic 1&2 classes.She's very funny,explains well,gives real life examples,very very lenient&caring.some professors are boring,but not her.I got injured towards the end of organic 2 term,missed 2wks.She helped me make&catch up on tests quizes etc.She came to class when she was on bedrest.DO U want to learn&pass CHEM&ORGANIC?.Sign up W/her
She started out teaching great. Little before midterm she started to slack off big time. Would not have our quizes/test graded. Consistantly showing up for class late, Loves to gosip during class before she gets started.
Dr. Tsoi is a great professor! She is the most caring professor I have ever ever had! HAd a family emergency, missed a few classes, and Dr. Tsoi let me make up the missed stuff at my pace Be a "big apple" come to class, do the work she assigns and you will do great! Would highly recommend her for Organic Chem!! Makes a horrible subject fun!!
Shes freakin amazing....breaks down mechanisms in fun, easy to remember ways. She works with you bc she wants you to succeed...I totally recommend her for general chemistry as well as organic chemistry!!!!
Taking Organic Chemistry with Dr Tsoi was such a great experience! She makes such a tremendous effort to help students with the material and you can call her up and ask questions! Dr Tsoi makes Organic Chem so much fun,she is so approchable and friendly and such a wonderful person,so full of energy! Really makes you want to learn the material :-)
Dr. Tsoi was a fabulous teacher! She made Organic Chemistry a breeze! She uses really great examples and is very easy to understand. She was very willing to help in the class and outside of class! I wish to take her Orgo 2 class!!
Dr. Tsoi made a difficult class and subject matter easy to understand. She is very helpful and her examples are great. I am definately taking her for Orgo 2.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME TEACHER! Made 8 AM summer classes soooo much better! I could definitely do without organic chem, but she made it interesting and uses all the fun and clever ways to help her students understand. She sincerely cares about teaching and her students
THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD AND MOST LIKELY WILL EVER HAVE! She is so approachable and loves her students! She is always very fair and looooves what she does! take her if you really want to enjoy what you learn =] Took her for summer Orgo I and can't wait to take her for Orgo II!!
Dr Tsoi is such a wonderful professor,she loves what she does and is super sincere with her students!She made Orgo 2 fun and I would definitely recommend her for orgo 1 and 2! She is Awesome!! :-D
Dr. Tsoi is the BEST teacher I have had a GGC!! She keeps class interesting! And she is great at actually teaching organic. I would definitely recommend taking her for orgo 1 and orgo 2. She is SO helpful! As a professor and a mentor, she really appreciates her students hard work! I wish she taught more than orgo! TEAM TSOI!!!
She is the most helpful and down-to-earth professor I've ever had. She is very kind and always willing to go out of her way to help. Replies to texts and returns calls on time. Explains organic very well (better than the textbook) Took her for both Orgo 1 and Orgo 2 and had one of the best experiences in college!
Dr.Tsoi is great on a teacher and person level. She goes out her way to make sure every gets a chance to learn and understand the material. Also the way she teaches is very helpful and funny at times (which helps A LOT when studying). Best part is she is open to texts, calls and meetings when ever. I recommend her for any class or couseling.
She teaches organic. So the easiness of the class doesn't depend on the teacher it depends on your aptitude for it. But Dr. Tsoi is an amazing teacher regardless if you love or hate organic chem. She is very helpful and actually wants you to keep her updated on your study habits.
The material is hard but Dr. Tsoi is AMAZING!!!!! She tries really hard to motivate her class and makes sure you know everything you need to know to pass the class. Extra credit opportunities. You can always make appointments with her if you are struggling. She's understanding and cares about her students. Loves to teach. Definitely recommend!!!
Dr. Tsoi is a great professor! She is very passionate about teaching and she is very accessible if you need extra help. Orgo 1 is a tough class but if you are prepared for class you should be able to make a good grade no problem. Many extra credit opportunities. Recommend her class!!
Dr. Tsoi is a very good organic chemistry professor! She cares about her students, and is very concerned about them learning the material. The course IS hard. But, Dr. Tsoi makes her self available outside of class to help with any problem a student might be having. I would definitely recommend taking her for organic chemistry!
Despite the difficult material covered, Dr. Tsoi's Organic Chemistry classes are a joy to take. She's informative, fun, and dedicated to making sure her students succeed. I highly recommend her to anyone taking Organic 1 or 2.
dr.tsoi is so amazing!!!she is hilarious and is so nice to everyone and she comes up with great ways to explain and help you remember important concepts! she really loves to teach and she gives good extra credit opportunities! i def recommend her!
Dr. Tsoi is the best professor I have ever had!!!! She cares so much about her students learning the material!! She makes the class so much fun as well! I was never bored! The material itself is hard and you have to do your part of studying, but she is willing to help you understand it! I recommend her to every single person that wants to take CHEM
Dr. Tsoi is one of the best professors I have ever had so far at GGC. Organic Chem is not an easy class, and you have to work hard for your grade, but Dr. Tsoi is willing to assist you anyway she can to help you succeed. I highly recommend her to anyone who would like to take Orgo. Just do your work, and you will not regret it.
Professor Tsoi is awesome. She will go through great lengths to help any student who wants help. The work isn't easy, but she presents the information in a fun way that makes the material easy to remember.
I took her class this summer.Dr. Tsoi is a very funny prof.She makes her class fun and interesting. Off the record, I enjoyed coming to her class even though sometimes I am a little bit late. She is extremely helpful and she explains it clearly.She cares about your learning.Trust me, you will not regret taking her class.I did not. Take her class!!!
OMG!!! BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Dr. Tsoi kept my interest, and actually taught me chemistry at I level I never knew possible. Seriously, take any and all classes this amazing teacher teaches!
Dr. Tsoi is a wonderful person. She is a great teacher and an asset to GGC. I would take her for any class.
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing professor. She can take the most difficult principles, & break them down in an easy to understand fashion. She's not an easy A. You have to show up, pay attention, & do your work. She is ready & willing to make herself available help you, as long as you are willing to put make the effort. Highly recommend taking her class!
Organic Chemistry is not meant to be easy, and no matter the teacher you have to read prior to class, do hw problems after, and take some personal responsibility. That said, Dr. Tsoi rocks! Bottom line: She Cares! Outside class help via text, email, cell phone, office appts, memory mnemonics, extra credit. She just loves to teach and it shows.
one word to describe Dr.Tsoi is AWESOME!!!!Take her class she will teach you chemistry in such manner that even if you dont like chemistry you will started loving it. I Did. she is not an easy A but if you put in a bit effort its not hard to earn A in this class. Lots of extra credit can also boost up your grade. Dr. Tsoi her self is very helpful.
Dr. Tsoi was awesome. She is one of the best professors at GGC. Organic Chem is not an easy subject to learn, but she made things a lot simpler to understand. She was always available to help outside the classroom.
Great for organic chemistry ONE! Her methods for teaching are great and very useful for the course.
She's AWESOME! Take her!!
LOVE HER! She is so nice and funny! Keeps the class interesting. Take her!
She is GREAT! She's funny and and a really happy person! Her class is pretty easy, not a lot of work. Take her!
Dr. Tsoi is very helpful and helps you do well in the course if you put the effort forward. I would definitely recommend taking her class.
Freaking amazing class. I'm not even a science major but I am really considering being one because of Dr.Tsoi.her sense of humor is so awesome you will always be smiling. And Every.single.thing. was actually useful and practical. You really get to learn about the important things in life. LOVE HER!
Dr tsoi is an awesome professor she makes her lectures clear and easy for you to understand. she is the type that will work around the class's schedule.
Wonderful teacher! Was failing going into the midterm and had plenty of opportunities to bring my grade all the way up to a B! Great Great teacher! Fun Class and genuinely care for her students! If I have to take another science class I will not take it with anyone else!!!!!
Awesome teacher who incorporates science in things students care about.
this teacher was awesome! she's totally chill, she's rather you be in class but she understands if you need to miss a day. she is really good at explaining the material and she's super nice. take her!!!!!!
Dr. Tsoi is extremely approachable and wants to see her students succeed. However, she's adamant about students putting in hard work and attending class. The quizzes will truly test your knowledge but she does a great job at preparing you. You have to stay on top of the work and do you part to do well in the class. She's funny & lively in class!
Dr. Tsoi is the best professor I have met in my learning experiences. The gestures that she mkes whiles teaching make you understand the materials well. She will encourage you to come to her offce if you don't understand a topic. She is amazing
Absolutely an amazing teacher. Her love for chemistry shows through her teaching. Dr. Tsoi is very helpful and makes chemistry fun. You cannot find a better teacher.
So nice, so helpful. The BEST for Organic chem
Took this class three times. The material never made any sense until I took Dr. Tsoi's class. She actually teaches the material, unlike many professors who expect you to teach yourself. This is a difficult class covering difficult material made easy by a good professor. If you pay attention in lecture and take decent notes you should be fine.
best chem teacher ever. i wish she was teaching organic. She curves all the tests and wants her students to get an A. she comes up with corny ways to remember the material but it does work. she is lenient about pushing back homework and tests. Shes very energetic especially at 8am when i had her. she does curse a lot and plays music during lab.
Dr. Tsoi is interesting. She made learning Chemistry fun. She cares a lot about you understanding the chemistry. Dr. Tsoi will help you understand how the chemistry matters in real life. do your home work and your reading as soon as posible
I was dreading this class because I went in not knowing anything! After the first class she had me hooked!! She is funny, makes class entertaining, and is so helpful!!! She's very easy going and THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I highly recommend her!!
Dr. Tsoi is great! However, she goes through everything soo quickly, so you've really got to pay attention. and do your homework because it's so easy to fall behind if you don't. She's very, very helpful and I love how she always coming to class full of energy and ready to teach. You won't get bored in her class. Highly recommend!
Dr. Tsoi is awesome! She helps you on everything, gives extra credit, and makes the class so... happy! One thing that I love about her is that she always has a smile on her face. Take her class. It's a must. Just seeing her would probably brighten up your day.
Dr. Tsoi is by far the best teacher I have EVER had. I hated chemistry and I had to repeat this class, but after learning with her, I actually like chemistry (a little). She cares whether you learn the material or not but only cares if you care. She loves teaching and she's good at it. Go to class, take notes, do the homework and you'll do awesome.
Amazing professor. Love or hate chemistry, take her!
Dr. Tsoi is amazing. She is the best professor I've had. Dr Tsoi teachers with great enthusiasm. She is very entertaining and you will learn so much from her. I love having her as my professor and I adore her class. You just have to have her as your instructor whether for Chem I or Orgo. if you can.
Amazing teacher. If you need/ want to take chemistry, you should take her. Probably the BEST professor I've experienced in my three years of college.
Best professor I've ever had. She makes chemistry so easy to understand. Made an A on all the exams. Mychemlab homework sucks. If you don't take her good luck in chemistry.
She is an AMAZING teacher. She made everything very clear and its easy to learn her material. I highly suggest take her class. I easily got an A. Mastering Chemistry Homework is a bit hard, but she is always willing to help out. Overall LOVED Dr. Tsoi!
Highly recommend for ITEC Majors! Dr. Tsoi's class is very engaging and she goes out of her way to help her students! She can integrate everyday life applications to chemistry concepts that will help virtually any student succeed in chemistry!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Highly recommend her! She goes out of her way to help you but thats if you need help because she teaches so well you understand everything the first time and I use to hate chemistry. Best teacher GGC will ever have!!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She is the BEST chemistry professor I could ever have! Highly recommended! She takes the time to help her students to understand hard concepts, and she gives a LOT of extra credit opportunities, if you know you're not doing well, then I highly suggest doing all the extra work she gives out!
Dr. Tsoi is amazing. Getting into her class is a struggle because its always filled but sitting and agonizing at the screen for an empty spot is worth it. The concepts aren't particularly hard but when it comes to the final you will see its a lot but she prepares you. She makes everything so easy to understand and shes also very humorous.
Absolutely one of the best professors at GGC! She understands how to break down concepts in a way students would be able to comprehend! I enjoyed every second of her class! Do the work and you will receive an A!
She is the world's best professor ever! Love her!! She is so down to earth and want's success of her students. Come to class, do your work and you will do great! She is not easy, but very helpful. She doesn't just give out grades. you have to EARN it! Always replied to texts and emails quick!
Dr. Tsoi is very chill, laid back! She is just one of the most amazing teacher ever. You will never regret taking her class because she is fun. She makes the concepts very fun and enjoyable. GO TSOI
This was my third time taking ochem2 and she was by far the best teacher ever! Even under time pressure (1 month course), she managed to teach us to understand the concepts and mechanism instead of just memorizations and I ended up earning a solid A. She is crazy fun and awesome. Best science professor I've ever met!!! GO TEAM TSOI!
I took summer ochem 2 with Tsoi. She is not easy, you need to study hard to do well in her class, but she does provides great hints/tips for memorizing the mechanisms, synthesis, etc. She's the best teacher I have ever had since kindergarten! She is very motivating and cares if you are learning. GO TEAM TSOI!
I LOVE THIS LADY,I HAVEN'T CRACKED THE BOOK ONCE, MY CURRENT AVERAGE IS A 97,I'll put it this way, as long as you show up and pay attention, your works cut out for you, plus she's extremely chill, funny, and fair.
She's a great teacher, come to class prepared and you'll probably make an A.
Dr. Tsoi is amazing! If you want to understand chemistry, take her. She is very clear on her expectations and will help you. She gives plenty of opportunities for extra credits. Labs are easy 100's if you do what she ask. Tests are straight-forward and easy if your study. Take her if you want to pass chemistry with an A.
Dr. Tsoi is -the- chemistry professor. Good luck getting into her class, because everyone knows it. The only way in is to camp registration. CAMP REGISTRATION! It's worth it!
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing professor. She is funny and she teaches how a professor is supposed to teach. Take her if you want to learn while having fun while also being cared for by an exceptional individual. Not everybody in the class made A's, but if you pay attention in class and do your work and ask for help, you will succeed. Go Jackets.
Dr. Tsoi is the professor to go for if you want to do well in Chemistry. She helps with everything and if you listen in class and keep up with your work, you'll make a high grade. She's really funny and makes class worth going to everyday.
Dr. Tsoi is great! She truly cares about you and she is very enthusiastic about teaching.
Dr. Tsoi is AWSOME!!! She explains topics very well, she comes up with funny ways for students to remember hard concepts. Whenever I have taken her classes she has always given extra credit. I have taken other Chem professors and there is none like her. She really cares about her students and wants to make sure you learn the material.
AAAWWWEEEEESSSOOOOMMMMEE. Taking Organic 2 in the fall with her and am very excited. She did great in Organic 1 and explained the material thoroughly until I understood it.
Dr. Tsoi is the BEST! No other prof compares to her! Every lecture she makes you laugh & she always puts a smile on your face. She teaches Chem step by step & makes it so easy to understand. NoPowerPoints! She is so understanding & has a passion for teaching. I will never forget her tricks to solving problems. TAKE HER! She is absolutely phenomenal
Awesome. Enough said.
She is the Most Amazing Professor In the World! You'll learn a lot by just being around her. She makes Every Class fun and upbeat. Labs are simplified along w the lab reports! 3 tests all based on the few sampling learning hws you have. There are no quizzes, in-class assignments... Can't wait for her to teach Orgo.1 a spot! TeamTsoi Rules!!!
Tsoi is a decent professor for ORGO. Be prepare to read and do problems before class so you won't be lost. Quizzes are not easy, but not super hard. She isn't sympathetic if you work and go to school full-time. She say bc it is our choice to work while in school, we should not complain at anything. Will not help you as much as compare Prin. of Chem
Dr. Tsoi is the best professor GGC has on campus. Not only does she focus on teaching and helping each individual student understand chemistry but also cares for her students! She couldn't be more understanding! Her class is both EASY AND FUN! Team Tsoi never fails and making an A is not difficult. Go Team Tsoi!!! Your in for the best semester!!!
Dr. Tsoi is the best teacher at GGC. Not only is she hilarious, but she also cares about her students. I hate chemistry, but Dr. Tsoi makes it fun and interesting! She does her best to make sure everyone gets an A in her class. don't need a book, just go to class! You're missing out if you DON'T take Dr. Tsoi.
Dr. Tsoi is always there for her students. She goes above and beyond to help everyone understand what she is teaching because she knows its rough material. If it was not for her I would of never made it through ORGO II!
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing teacher. She makes something as complex as organic chemistry and turns the language into something a person who is struggling with chemistry remember it. At the beginning of the semester, she makes it known that she is not the best organic chemist, but she can teach it.
As long as you do what she tells you, there is no reason to not get an A. Her quizzes are tricky but you will be fine at the end.
She knows how to teach very well. She breaks everything down to make Chemistry seem like an easy subject. I enjoy class with her so much that I get excited to go to class, have some good laughs and learn. All you have to do is show up and give a damn. I love her and think she should teach future teachers on how to teach. Classes fill fast!
Dr. Tsoi is by far the best Professor I've ever had. She has given multiple opportunities for extra credit. She also splits her tests so that they are not long and fairly decent. As long as you pay attention in lecture you'll be just fine. Also she gives small 1 question quizzes here or there. Trust me it's hard to have under a B in the class.
Dr Tsoi is amazing!!! Her test are like the homework, gives a lot of extra credit. Makes the lectures fun. She makes sure you understands and is willing to meet with you if you need extra help. She teaches only what you need to know not extra material. Definitely take her for chemistry if its not your best subject!
Dr. Tsoi is the Best! The class is made easy by her lectures! She makes everything easy to understand and gives little memory tips! She does have homework but it was easy to complete. The test are just like the homework! I would definitely recommend her! Team Tsoi!
Dr. Tsoi is a wonderful teacher all around. I did not have a chance to take Chem 1212 and she let me sit in her class! I got to learn all the materials and take notes and I am going to take her next semester, she was so interested and explained things so well that I loved being in her class even though it was not mandatory for me!
Dr. Tsoi is the best Professor I've ever had, and I don't make that statement lightly. I've never had a Professor who so clearly enjoys what she does and is passionate about the subject matter. I'm an IT Major and dreaded Chemistry 2, especially after Chemistry 1 where I barely scraped by with a passing grade, but I expect an A in this class.
I LOVE Dr. Tsoi. Not only is she a great teacher, she's a great person to talk to for advice not just pertaining to her class. She keeps it real. And although she is a wonderful teacher, the class is tough, I mean hello? It's orgo. But if you go to class, take GOOD notes and pay attention, you'll do great. And do not ever be afraid to ask questions
Loved her class! Very entertaining and cares about her students. Always eager to work with students who need the extra help. Pay attention in class, her tests are pretty straight forward. Will make time to mentor students that need guidance. Makes lab time really fun and interesting. Very inspirational person and wants her students to succeed.
You wanna take this professor, last semester I took Gen Chem 1211k and it was hell dough I made an A, but I spent half of my school time doing chemistry. Professor Tsoi makes Chemistry easy, her class is never boring . Don't cheat in her class because Jesus will need to come save your life , if you are caught. I'll take her for anything chemistry
She was a great professor when it comes to only teaching you exactly what you need to pass her tests. She has a very creative teaching style, and helps the information stick in your brain. There is weekly online homework to do. Her lab reports are super easy and simple. She is a little spastic, so her being all over the place might make u nervous.
Tsoi is by far the best teacher at GGC. Hands Down!
Very helpful! super funny, and makes chemistry easy even for non-science majors!
Lets you know exactly what to study for. She has a clever way to break a hard topic to the class. Can break 5 chapters in one day without you even knowing. Take her and you won't lament. Gives lots of extra credit opportunity. There's no reason to fail this class. You will the textbook sometimes to read for her pop quiz. She's amazing. Take her!!!
She is a great teacher. Makes Chemistry easy to learn. She will work with you if you need extra help. Will sing and dance from time to time.
Dr. Tsoi is really an amazing professor! Her tests are what she covers in class & she will never surprise you on the exam. Her exams, quizzes, homework & etc. are all very straight forward. She is very passionate about what she teaches & is really enthusiastic in class. She always has different ways teaching you until you understand the content!
She is a wonderful teacher. Lectures are fun. You don't know what to expect. Labs are easy test are you easy if you know the material but she will make sure you know everything. I would take her again if I could.
If you have the chance to take be in her class, do not think about it twice. She is amazing!
Dr. Tsoi is Literally the best professor I've ever had. She makes everything you learn in the class easy and funny. She is always willing to help if you don't understand something. Dr. Tsoi's class makes it very hard for you to get a bad grade because of how easy she makes it and how many opportunities she gives you to bring your grade up.
Before I took Dr. Tsoi I hated chemistry and did assignments just for the grade. This professor changed my opinion about chem and made me love it. She has a gift for digesting the most difficult concepts and make them easy to understand. Homework based on what is learned and you learn what is important. The best Teacher ever. You will not regret.
She is a enthusiastic, fun teacher who will have you laughing on the first day. She gives so many opportunities to do extra credit, turn in homework even after the due date, etc. She really works with the students to help them pass. I recommend her to anyone taking chemistry she's a great professor and loves what she does! Material is clear.
Dr. Tsoi explains the materials very well. You just have to listen when she's explaining bcuz it will be on your test. She give 5 tests. Lab is done in class or you can take it home. She is concerned about you learning the materials. She doesn't do favoritism, she treats everyone the same.
She makes the class much more fun, there is no reason to miss it. Chemistry is not the easiest subject but if you can explain it like Dr. Tsoi, then there is nothing to worry about. She goes above and beyond to make sure you understand. She is one of the best teachers in GGC. If more teachers do what she does, there would be less dropouts.
Best professor ever, I barely opened the book and got a 99 in the class. The way she explains things makes it easy for a 3rd grader to understand the material and not to mention she is super hilarious and makes the class fun. She actually cares about her students and does things to accomodate them if you need to miss a lab or quiz, etc. TAKE HER!!!
Dr. Tsoi is amazing from her sense of humor to her methods of teaching. She's not like anyone else on GGC. She has a way of just breaking down topics to its simplest form for you to understand almost anything. Assignments are not hard and she is extremely helpful. Multitude of extra credit opportunities, no excuses. One lab report is also dropped.
Dr. Tsoi Is absolutely amazing! She cares about grades , but honestly she really wants you to understand the material and actually remember it so she will give you the grade you work for. Her songs and activitie make it super easy to remember the material. She is nice and very personable. She will be late for class, but honestly just wait for her!
Professor Tsoi is an amazing professor. She knows her chemistry and teaches it very well. Professor Tsoi cares about her students and if there's any concern she is able to help you. Just study and you will pass her class.
Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had, and hands down the best chemistry teacher I have ever had. You don't have to worry about teaching yourself, because she will MAKE SURE you understand each concept before moving on. Her labs are a lot fun, and is not as demanding as other teachers. She let's us listen to music during exams as well.
excellent teacher that is passionate, pretty strict on using your own brain and HATES cheating. you have to work hard but very enjoyable class all in all I could take her classes multiple time. She makes chemistry enjoyable and fun
The most amazing professor I have had in my college experience. Take her and you will walk out of the class loving chemistry and actually knowing how to apply it to real life. All universities need teachers like Dr. Tsoi! She is the best and cares about all of her students. She made me love chem when i hated it before! Take her for sure!!!!
Heck of a teacher. Super fair, and makes it totally worth it for you to put in the work.
Fantastic teacher--Pay attention in class, ask questions when you get confused, and I guarantee you will get an A. She is a great lecturer. I was never bored. I loved how willing she was to explain things to students until they got it. Her quizzes (Summer term only had quizzes) were completely fair. Given the opportunity, I would take her again!!
Probably the best professor i've had at ggc. She makes everything interesting and so easy to learn. I was so scared to take this class and especially during summer but she made it a breeze! She is always willing to help, even outside of class. She's super funny and will definitely keep you awake. If you have the chance to take her i advise you to!
Take Dr. Tsoi if you have the opportunity to sign up for her class. Her teaching style is unique compared to other professors. She explained things in a way that made learning chemistry much easier and fun. Her class went by fast and her spontaneity helped me stay awake!
Very kind person! She's willing to take time after class to make sure you understand the material, even when she's already explained it 3+ times, she sits with you to try and find different ways to explain it. Gives subtle hints about topics on tests, and makes class overall fun. As long as she sees you trying in class, she will not fail you.
Great teacher. Makes Chemistry fun and made it make sense.
She's the best teacher I ever had. She cares about her students, tries her best to explain the problem with you. Her lesson is easy to understand and also it's hilarious. Her class always full so quick after it opens to register. You need to read the book before you come to class, so you can understand what she is talking about.
Dr. Tsoi is hands down the best professor EVER!! Chemistry is not my strongest subject but she makes it FUN, EASY, and ENJOYABLE!! She is understanding if you need to miss class and was always fair! If you can grab her class before it is full, I would HIGHLY recommend doing so. Hands down the best teacher in the Chemistry Dept. and at GGC!!!!
Dr. Tsoi is an awesome teacher. Take her if you have the chance. Great personality and cares very much about your success in the class. You have to pass 6 essential quizzes taken throughout the semester and 9 of the 15 general quizzes to pass the class with a C, 10-12 for a B, and 13 to 15 for an A. Do your part and you will pass the class.
Dr. T is one of a kind! New grading format. "All or nothing" No partial credit. Must pass ALL 6 EO & at least 9 GO's. If you pass 15 GO's and fail the final you can still get an A in the class. Her lectures are amazing uses props to get her point across. TAKE HER, Earn tokens to re-take failed EO/GO's, Communicate with her, participate in class!
Coming from someone who took CHEM 1211K with her over the summer, she is phenomenal. Must pass 6 EO quizzes and at least 9 GO quizzes (15 total GOs) Quizzes are all or nothing but Dr. Tsoi does a great job explaining the content. Various opportunities to earn extra GO credit credit. Majority of, if not all, quizzes are free response.
only 1 final and 21 quizzes, all or nothing, as previous ppl said! Dr Tsoi is very caring and truly wants you to pass so if you fail any quizzes, reach out to her, take advantage of "token" opportunities that you can use to retake the quizzes, STUDY, and you WILL make an A. take her and you won't regret it. she's amazing, funny & one of a kind!
Please note that her class it super hard. It requires tons of memorization. SHE IS NOT AN EASY A! 21 quizzes must pass 7 EOs in order to pass the class. STUDY STUDY STUDY, but do not take her 50 minute classes you will not learn much and will have to teach yourself. Hard to get in touch with after class, she has a super busy lifestyle.
I hate everything about her teaching style
She is a completely different person when it comes to organic chemistry. if you are trying to get easy A or B do not take her, because you have to put 20 hours of study every weekend. If you like extra credit or partial credit DO NOT TAKE HER because her quizzes are all or nothing. She said she will always there for us, but she is always busy.
I will always regret not dropping her class in the first week. Many people told me that she is not a good professor of organic chemistry. she is very unorganized when it comes to teaching. she already made 6 version of syllabus so far. She does not have exam but there are average 3 quizzes and retake quizzes you are already failing.
Organic chemistry is hard but she makes it worse by being not clear with her expectation. She just wants you to already know everything before coming to class. She said you have to learn chemistry and be prepared and know everything before class. I don't understand what is the point of her being in class if we have to teach everything to yourself.
I took her class bcz of my friend told me to take it. Her quizzes are horrible a simple mistakes can make you fail the class. It makes you stress out a lot so you can't focus on other classes. I love chemistry and I never thought I will end up dropping it. ORGO is not that hard but she making it hard by EO and GOs. big mistakes I did by talking it.
The EO/GO system that Dr. Tsoi uses requires that you pass (with a 4/5 or higher) six quizzes- to even have a shot at passing the class. The other quizzes will, when passed, increase your grade. Clear as day. You have chances to retake these quizzes, so don't sweat if you don't pass the first go. Dr. Tsoi is 1000% willing to help you pass them!
Great teacher, has good tricks to memorize certain material. Lectures are not long enough. Her EO's and GO's system is horrible IF you can't balance prereading a chapter or two before class, learning new material from lecture and getting perfect score on quizzes (THERE'S NO PARTIAL CREDIT). Expect 2-3 quizzes a week. DO NOT wait to make them up.
Out of 23 students only 4 got A's... 1 got a C and 18 F's (60%-10%). Only 10/11 showed up to the final.
Professor Tsoi is an incredible professor to the point that I would look forward to her lectures. She comes up with the craziest ways to remember a concept. The course isn't hard but it is a lot to learn so be prepared to read a section before class and practice afterwards. You cannot afford to slack and then complain about your grade!
If you r person who always makes small mistake in quiz, already taking other science classes, have a job and likes extra credit DO NOT TAKE HER, cuz u have to study more than 12 hours every week. if u take her class by any chance try to pass all her quizzes because one quiz can make difference between passing and failing class.
Not accessible outside of class. EO GO is the worst and only works for few. I have excelled at chem. Class went from 25 & waitlist, to 9 at the final. A JOKE. Ochem is already hard and this makes you feel incompetent and question yourself every step of the way. DO NOT TAKE OCHEM WITH HER OR THE SPECIFICATIONS GRADING SYSTEM. You will regret it..
THE WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN... her system of grading is the worst.. you have 5 questions per quiz (which may be 1 up to 3 a week) and you must get at least 4/5 to pass the quiz and NO PARTIAL CREDIT.. in OCHEM.. no PARTIAL CREDIT on a PASS/FAIL system. Yes you can retake, but they get harder and its on ur own time. It's harder than you think
SPECIFICATIONS GRADING IS A FLOP. Ochem is known to be a weed out class, but this one truly weeds out people. Out of 25 people in the class only about 5 people made it out with a C and higher. That is ridiculous.
I got an A in the class but only because I killed myself doing it. She makes the grading system seem like it's the best and help people- but it doesn't. It makes you work 100x harder than you should and doubt yourself every step of the way. Luckily, I didn't have other science classes like most of the ppl in the class. Not good. it was self taught.
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing professor in every sense of the word. She's extremely caring and wanted to make sure as many people passed the class as possible. Not to say it wasn't difficult, because it was.... but I'd never felt more confident entering into the next level of a class (Chem 1212k). Easy to contact out of class too, excellent personality.
I've never done one of these before, but I feel strongly enough about Dr. Tsoi to attest to her greatness. Don't read the negative comments, those students either didn't dedicate time to study/retake quizzes, or cheated. Yes, she is a tough grader, but the quizzes can be retaken many times until you pass! It really, truly prepares you for Orgo 2.
The two reviews after this one sound how Tsoi talks about herself in class. I am taking her right now and I am regretting it. She acts like a high-schooler. She is rude and has terrible ADD. Dr. Tsoi has a hard time understanding questions, its almost as if she doesn't even listen. Again, could be ADD. She is an OK prof, but this class is easy af.
Professor Tsoi was an amazing teacher. Organic chemistry is a tough class but she breaks it down so well for you to understand. You do have to work for your A. Its not an easy A but this is college . You are expected to work. She will bend over backwards for you if you simply put in the effort .
Dr. Tsoi is the best Chem professor that I have ever had. Although you will have to work and spend time outside of class, her grading system works well. If you are willing to put in the needed work to get the grade, then you can EASILY do so. Also, she is hilarious, and lectures amazingly!!!
Comments posted on here are somewhat true she's a tough grader, ADD, rude AT TIMES But she's a GOOD PROF. She ACTUALLY explains the ASSIGNMENTS I seen her yell at a gurl during lab but she helped her after! She reallyGIVES you chances to do retakes and gives you an opportunity to earn tokens a diff way you have to work for it but she will help you
I took her 1211K while taking Orgo2 wth a different instructor and she is the best professor at GGC!!! She goes above and beyond for her students, and gives many opportunities to succeed in the class. Really caring, funny, MORE than fair, and actually teaches until everyone in the class understands! You won't regret taking her!!!
Wonderful teacher, very helpful and caring. I had a F in midterm and passed her class with an A. If really wanna know the basics and make your CHEM strong take her class.
Dr. Tsoi is hands down one of the best chem professors. Her quizzes are easy if you study her notes and do a few practice problems (just study for 15-20 minutes and it's easy). She's super helpful and she'll clear her schedule for you. She makes learning fun and you'll actually understand chem. I highly recommend taking her.
Dr. Tsoi is hands down the best professor I've had. I've been to 4 different schools, and have 130+ credit hours. She has an innovative style of teaching that makes you look forward going to class. She's hilarious and very caring. She goes the extra mile to make sure she prepares you as much as possible. Organic 2 isn't easy, but she makes it fun!
Dr. Tsoi is the best Organic Chemistry teacher out there. Her teaching style is one of the best I've encountered: funny, engaging, extremely helpful. I have taken chemistry at a couple of different schools, and GGC offers the best chemistry department out there. Take Dr. Tsoi if you ever get the opportunity. You will not regret it one bit.
She is the worse organic professor ever!! Her EOs and GOs system is worse. If u get anything below 80 in a quiz is fail. lets say if u got 78 on first quiz and 75 on second quiz your final grade will be zero. try to pass all her quizzes because one quiz can make different between passing and failing a class.
DO NOT TAKE HER for organic. she is really confused and lost all the time. She brings her daughter to class everyday and her daughter is always running around the class it is so hard to focus. she is really bad at teaching. if u talk about her why her EOs and GOs system isnt good for student she gets really mad
She will pick on you in front of entire class. Dont recommend her unless you dont have choice
Dr. Tsoi is amazing. Shes a funny, kind and VERY energetic. I had her at 8am and she always was upbeat although she can be late...a lot. Grading criteria is very clear cut. No tests but a bunch of 5 question quizzes. YOU CAN RETAKE THEM AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT! You always know your grade because you know what work you have done. Take her. Do it.
She really goes out of the way to make sure you do well in the class. I've personally seen how hard she works and felt compelled to write the review. So long as you do your share you will do fine. One of the best professors I had to pleasure to experience.
Professor Tsoi is the absolute best Organic Chemistry teacher. She ROCKS. You WILL have to study at home! (This is orgo.) But as long as you do the work, studying, and take good notes. You will do well! I would recommend this teacher to everyone! She believes in second chances and DOES do SPECs grading. But she is so good that it is hard to fail.
Dr. Tsoi is one of the best professors I have taken BY FAR! Organic is a hard subject, but like Dr. Tsoi always says, it's not hard, just hard work. I've failed orgo multiple times, and it just wouldn't click for me. But with her, she literally finds the most hilarious and clever ways to remember and learn. She was so good I made her my mentor
This class is SPECs grading. It alot of work, but it's worth it. Dr. Tsoi is an excellent professor. She tutors and works with you outside of class. Organic chemistry is easier of her funny commentary to remember mechanisms and chemical synthesis. Dr. Tsoi worked with me so I could achieve the grade I wanted. I appreciate her. ��
Dr. Tsoi is really good! She has great analogies to understanding organic chemistry and she does SPECS grading. Since a lot of people try to retake quizzes at the end of the semester, people try blaming Dr. Tsoi for this which really isn't her fault. Make sure to retake quizzes earlier when you fail it the first time rather than wait in the end.
Rude and unkind to students she doesn't like. Gives 1 - 3 tests a week. Doesn't teaches only talks about herself. Brings her kids to class. Late always. Unorganized. Wants to report 2- 5 students to the Ethics board every semester - so watch out. Begs students to nominate her for awards. Grades easier on students she likes.
If I could give a zero rating I would. Rude, loud, and doesn't teach. Two tests a week minimum. Lab reports are due weekly but no rubric or any idea what to write. Get ready to teach yourself. Also, accuses everyone of cheating so be ready for that too. Hated this class and will never take this teacher again.
Cusses so much that it's distracting and weird. I'm no prude, but it's as though she's trying to be cool with the kids so she drops an f*bomb every 10 seconds. She's nice, funny, intelligent - insert whatever good adjective - but seriously, the cursing and extreme crassness were a huge distraction/irritation to me.
A test every week . Only does a pass fail on tests, if you don't get an 80 or above you fail it. Test only has 4 -5 questions so if you miss one you fail. Belittles those that aren't her favorites. Don't bother showing up on time because she never does. Talks a lot about other things besides Chemistry that nobody cares about. Worst class ever.
Awesome teacher! She is kind and she does SPECS grading so this might not be for everyone so if you don't like small quizzes that you can CONSTANTLY retake after taking it once, take another teacher that doesn't do SPECS. Personally liked this class because of how open she is. If you take the time to talk with her and WORK HARD you'll be fine
Dr. Tsoi is my favorite professor at GGC so far. She is EXTREMELY willing to help in/out of class:offered multiple times to multiple students to meet with her outside of class for review. In class is lecture and she perfectly describes every topic and answers all questions in detail until you understand. Does curse some but more funny than anything
Dr. Tsoi is one of my favorite GGC professors. Shes enthusiastic, incredibly caring, and also very eager to meet outside of class if we needed tutoring. The class itself is not an easy A (we used ALEKS instead of a typical textbook + test structure), but shes willing to work with you if you put in the effort. Will definitely take her again.
Great professor. Gets you to interact in the class. All you need to do is keep up with your work and you can easily get an A.
Dr. Tsoi is the best Chemistry teacher GGC has to offer. Would 100% take her again!
Dr. Tsoi loves teaching and is truly a gifted teacher. However, she is not a chemist. She makes countless errors when trying to explain a concept. She is lazy with grading and lazy generally. The first class was the only class she was on time for (was the 1st class of her day). She did not prepare us for 1212. She cancelled a lot of labs.
Best prof I have ever had. Will make sure you understand everything. If you try it is impossible to fail. Cares so much for her students. Will work with you outside of class. Has quirky ways to make you understand topics (and they work!). Hilarious and wonderful teacher. She will have your back no matter what. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended.
She is hilarious, but if you really want to study get another teacher. If you are good chemistry and want a fun class this is the class for you
She uses Aleks throughout the semester and that is what most of your grade consists of. Do the objectives on time, take the knowledge checks, and complete all of the lab assignments and you will get an A. I took her for both of my chemistry classes and the only difference between Chem 1 and 2 was that in Chem 2 we took GOs(quizzes) every week.
Doctor Tsoi has been one of my favorite professors by far. She is very funny and makes class fun. If you dont understand material in her class she does everything she can inside and outside of class to help. I would definitely take her again
I just finished taking the final and all I can say is wow! Dr. Tsoi is the best teacher I have ever had. Shes funny and cares about each and everyone of her students. Shes fun and caters to all learning styles. If you put forth the effort, she will make sure that you pass. I took her for both 1211K 1212K. If I could take her again I would!
Dr. Tsoi might be the best professor I've taken in college. Her chemistry 1211 class might be the reason I'm still a science major, she made chemistry fun in a way few can, she's very funny, knowledgably and shines a joyous spirit that makes you want to participate. There's truly not enough good words I could say about her. She's amazing seriously!
Don't trust her, after the withdrawal date is passed she shows her true colors. I trusted her and got tricked. She's not good in keeping things confidential and puts you on the spotlight in front of class in a bad way. I changed my major because of her.
I love Dr Tsoi! She was always available outside of class. She did everything she could to make sure you passed and understood. She gave great examples and didn't make you feel dumb for asking a question if you didn't understand something. If you take the opportunities she gives, there's absolutely no way to fail her class. IF YOU CAN, TAKE HER!
She's probably the only caring professor that I have met at GGC. I was struggling in this class and she was willing to work with me and gives so many chances to improve my grade. She cares about her students and always encourages people to email, text or call her when we have problems. She wants everyone to succeed in her class. Go team Tsoi!
Dr. Tsoi is an amazing professor. She makes her lectures fun with her unique teaching style and you can tell that she truly cares about her students. She encourages students to email, call or text her whenever you feel stuck she's always happy to help. She also gives you lots of opportunities to better your grade.I recommend her 100% ! #TeamTsoi
I cannot stress enough how incredible she is. Im an ITEC major, and thanks to her I want to pursue chem too! Thats the definition of an inspiring teacher. In my 16 years of school (K-12 + college), Ive never had a teacher who inspired & taught me more than her. I will never forget her & her class. She is a one-in-a-million professor and friend!
I love Dr. Tsoi, shes the best chemistry professor Ive ever had. Ive always struggled with chemistry, but Dr. Tsoi really works with you on anything and everything you need, whenever you need it. Shes always willing to help you outside of class and genuinely enjoys helping you learn. She genuinely will try her hardest to help you pass!
Dr. Tsoi hands down has been my favorite professor at GGC! Her eagerness and love to teach is unmatched. She truly cares about every single one of her students and wants everyone to be successful in her class. She goes over everything you need to know and makes sure its clear. As long as you do your assignments and study for the final you will pass
If you're majoring in Chemistry and want to be challenged then I would say pick another professor. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Mai Yin Tsoi isn't a person who will challenge you but I will say if you do your work you can easily get an A. She's awesome! makes tons of jokes even if they're not funny but she'll make sure you enjoy her class!!!
I'm not a chemistry person at all, but really professor Tsoi is the best, she makes the class so easy and enjoyable, she cares a lot about her students, she gives so many opportunities to make up things, overall it is an easy A.
Best Teacher I've had so far.
She is very caring and is willing to work with all of her students. She does not judge. She understands that students can have difficulties and have things other than just class to worry about. She gives many opportunities to redeem yourself and her lectures were very entertaining and she used techniques that would us understand the subject.
She is the most Amazing teacher I've ever had. she is willing to help you pass as long as you're willing to put in the work. she goes out of her own way to make sure that you are doing the best you can do.
This is the best professor I have ever had. She's willingly to help student through out their homework even though it passed due date. I had a lot of chances to get extra credit in her class. All you need to do is following the shedule. There is no need to read because she explained the lecture in a simple way.
Dr. Tsoi is a great professor, she really wants to see all her students succeed and if you put in the work, you will get a good grade in her class. Its mostly just Aleks work. Shes very lenient and understanding, so I recommend that you take her if you have the chance.
Dr. Tsoi is hands down one of the best Professors I have ever had. She is so great at her job and loves what she does. She calls her class team Tsoi because she believes working together will get the job done better. I had a blast in her class and wish I could stay at GGC just to have her as my professor again. Take her class!! You wont regret it!
Dr. tsoi is a great professor. She honestly makes chemistry so much more bearable. She cares a lot about her students & truly wants them to pass. I highly recommend her!!!
Dr. Tsoi is a great professor. She truly cares about her students and always willing to help them. If you put your efforts and turn in the assignments on time, her class is an easy A. She is the best professor I've ever had. Please take her if you can. You won't regret it!
Dr Tsoi is an amazing chemistry professor here and I recommend her especially to CHEM 1 students! She is such a lovely person and will actually take the time to explain material you may not understand. We used a program called ALEKS and the work CAN stack up if you are not on your stuff, she also takes cheating VERY seriously. But no quizzes & test
Dr Tsoi is an amazing teacher. She cares about her students and is very understanding. I took this class online and she often extended due dates, gave retakes, extra credit etc.. She made this class very easy to get an A.
Prof. Tsoi is a caring instructor who made this online class very accessible. With assignment extensions, retakes, and extra credit, I was able to earn an A+. Unstuckstudy AI was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
