Funny chinese man

He is funny by nature and does a lot of things in class that will make you laugh, such as mispell and pronounce everything wrong, but not to the point where it messes you up...He is a great teacher and gives many examples, if you get those and do practice problems and understand both, you have an automatic A!!!

He knows what he is talking about, just has a few problems with saying it although you can understand what he is saying. He is incredibly funny though. I just wish he'd give a few minutes in class to have students do problems and then have him do it on the board. He kinda does the problems by himself really quickly and makes things like "What?"

Ming Ming is a really good teacher, he has a chinese acent but very understandable. He knows his stuff and everything on the test is covered in lecture. He's also pretty funny. First day of class he said, "As you can tell, I am chinese."

Not the best chemistry teacher, but I found this class to be extremely easy, as he told you the day before the test exactly what would be on it and how many of each type of question would be one it. The quizzes were just as easy. Really easy A if you showed up and listened.

I loved him!!He is very clear and to the point and wants you to succeed.He also tells you what is on your test(ex. so many of this type of problem on test).If you study what he reviews before the test you will do fine in his class.I enjoyed him enough to take his Chem. 116 class.I strongly recommend him to anyone!!

I think He is an absolutely amazing professor, the people that are putting bad posts are the people that do not pay attention or do not go to class. He has a slight accent but is extremely understandable. He explains the material extremely well and moves at a good pace. The day before the test he does a great review. Highly Recommend Mingming!!!!

Mingming is not hard to understand even though he has a slight accent. All you have to do is go to class and take your notes. Any questions you have he answers, all you have to do is go to his office. Before every test you review and he tells you how many of each question will be on the test.

He's an exellent teacher.

His tests make you feel like you did awesome, but you usually don't I always understood what we did in class but did terrible on the tests. He was still pretty fair and gave bonus a few times. He's not too bad compared to the rest of the Chem dept. I'm taking him for 116 next semester

Lectures were to the point, but boring. The tests were only from the notes. He doesn't teach you anything you won't need for the tests. He is more than willing to help you outside of class if you need it. I thought it was an easy course.

I liked him as a teacher. People say that he's really hard, but the truth is, they're lazy. He's a pretty good teacher as long as you dont mind the slight accent

Overall a pretty good teacher. Will answer questions in class and especially during office hours. Tests are not to hard but you will have to study and do the homework

He is a pretty decent guy. His test seem easy, but unless you really know it, you probably didn't do that great. He goes into more depth than other professors. I liked him better than the other chem professors.

Dr. Xu really cares about his students, and he trys hard to explain the material effectively. However, sometimes he does not explain key chemistry concepts thoroughly enough. Dr. Xu's class will teach you to rely heavily on both note taking and book use to do well.

Took Chem 115 in summer school, do not do that. MingMing was a very good teacher tons of material very quickly covered. Take notes, study alot, read the book twice do all the problems, then you can get an A. Not an easy class esp in summer school. I will take Chem 116 during the year with him. Loved the accent, understandable.

He's really funny.

mingming is a baller

Great teacher, serious, but knows how to teach, hope to take him in future whenever possible.

He teaches quite well, and makes it fairly easy to understand. One of the tough parts about it is that his tests only have 20 questions on them, and they tend to cover a wide range of topics, making it very hard to remember everything.

Difficult test. He will teach you though. If you ask him questions he will answer them and talk to you until you understand. If you want to learn, take this class. However, if you are a bad test taker. do not take this class.

How can anyone possibly write anything bad about this guy? He is a great teacher, and test material is based solely on the lectures. He is very helpful and knowledgeable on the subject. He's pretty funny, too. Just come to class, take notes, study the notes, and you're set. Definetely made me like chemistry more--he made it easy.

Dr. Xu is an awesome teacher! I do not like chemistry at all but he made the subject very easy to follow and even interesting at times. He is very funny! The tests are right from class notes, so as long as one goes to class, it is not very hard to do well. He is very clear and easy to understand. I would recommend him to everyone!!

he is the best....I realy mean that...he knows everything about chemistry..I took him for chem 115..Exams are not that hard.my average in the 4 exams was 88 and I got A in that class.Attendance is realy important..do good in lab final in his exams and you should be fine...I really recommond him

Pretty easy to understand, personable, helpful, and knows what hes talking about.

Really smart man, but would only teach the basics in class. Homework and tests a lot harder. You had to do the homework to understand the tests though. The final really screwed me over.

He's very helpful. Sometimes he's hard to understand. Class is a lot more math based than anything. Homework's easy... but tests are very complex. I wouldn't reccomend.

excellent teacher, always helpful when i have questions, his office hours were a lil off with my schedule, easy to understand him, he barely has an accent for a chinese man, tests are fair, his study guides r accurate, and tests r not a shock when u get them, take nots, read book, and do online homework, and u will get out with a decent grade!

He isn't hard to understand at all, just a small accent (he sorta says "more" instead of "mole"). Chemistry is really hard for me but I thought he did a pretty good job. I found the tests easier than the homework. He does not go fast at all in class which is nice. Go to class and pay attention if chem does not come naturally to you.

Dr. Xu is amazing! He is extremely fair on his tests and always has a review class before the exams so that you know exactly what will be on tests. I studied straight from his notes and did the online homework and thought the tests were simple. I didn't even have to open the text book. He was willing to help anyone outside of class too. Loved him!

Dr. Xu is a great teacher! His accent is easy to understand and there are never any surprises on tests if you study his class notes. He is always willing to help you if you need help with anything. You should seriously "sink" about taking him because he is awesome!!

Great teacher. Go to class and pay attention and its not bad. Never has a random question on tests, and has a review class before every test.

Mingming is very straight forward and keeps no secrets. Tests are challenging but if you understand the concepts, you will definitely be alright. Overall good teacher

The lectures can get boring, MingMing just talks and talks and writes on the board and never tries to grab yuor attention. The test are challenging but its a challenging course. Best teacher there is for this level class.

Dr XU is amaizing. i barely pass my chem 115 and i was sure to even fail chem 116 but no..i'm making an A. he is very clear ad his notes are all you need to succeed just come to class and study his note you won't get less than an A. i'm so thankful to him.i learned so much in that class.he is the best .

Mingming was a great professor and made the final very easy. Much better professor than the other 116 professors. His tests are fair and he always gives at least one example problem during lectures that will relate to the exam. Always available outside of class for assistance. Highly recommend this guy.

great chemistry teacher, willing to go out of his way to help you anytime you need it as long as you let him know...highly recommended

Mingming was a good chem professor compared to the other options. The tests are hard because they're multiple choice so even if you work the process out right, one wrong number and you lose 5 pts. The final was hard as well, but it's a hard class so that's expected. He was helpful when asked during office hours. I enjoyed his humor.

Wonderful teacher if you are looking to understand chemistry. His exams are tricky but if you know the material its a walk in the park. He is very helpful

Mingming was a great professor. The weekly homework was long, but taught me everything I needed for the tests. As long as you listen to the lectures and take notes, and go to labs, you will not get lower than a B.

He is a great teacher, and I use the word teacher over professor because he is very capable of teaching his students unlike some professors. He is extremely fair when it comes to grading. One bad exam won't kill you, but you must study and go to class. I am taking him again for Chem 116.

VERY straight forward with lecture material and ALWAYS available for extra help. YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP. if you don't you will fail. it's a very hard class but he is the best teacher you could have out of them. the tests are very hard but you just have to keep up. go to the TLC, meet with him, do everything you can and youll pass.

I had him for the STP program at WVU, and he was a splendid and excellent teacher. He made us work hard, but if you needed it, he was very helpful. He speaks English quite well for a Chinese man as well.

He is the best teacher ive had. his examples and still of teaching make everything understandable

Mingming is the best chem teacher ive ever had! He always makes class fun with his examples. His accent makes it all the more entertaining. Although his class is probably one of the harder chem classes, you will benefit from taking him. He is always available and willing to help. Go to class, study notes, & do the homework and you will easily pass.

funny but at the same time is serious about the material.

Dr. Xu was a great professor. He was helpful outside of class and his lectures actually taught the material. I would take him for 115 and 116 if you can. Old practice tests really help too!

GREAT TEACHER!!! highly recommend him, try to get old practice exams, they will help you study a lot!!! if you dont have those, check your notes, if you can do the problems in your notes, YOUR GOOD!! I wasnt the best at chemistry but after a semester with mingming I was golden!!! the final is rough, but managable if you study,got an A in class

Great teacher, received a B & complained; looking back it's clear that I was being a complete wuss. It comes down to STUDYING. Wait until organic chem to complain. You're not going to become a doctor if you're dropping 115 because you think the teacher isn't good enough; it's your fault. Any chem115/116 prof will seem difficult at the time.

Class is pretty hard, you must study a lot. Mingming is very helpful and a very good teacher. Love him!

Dr. Xu is by far the greatest chem professor I've had. He explains things so well and helps you make sense of all the topics covered in the class. Dr. Xu has a great personality and cares about his students. Also he encourages students to visit him during his office hours. I have been there many times and have shared many laughs. I definitely would

I LOVED MingMing. His tests come directly from the notes. He is always willing to help his students out. He also has a great sense of humor. One of the best chemistry professors I have had to date.

Mingming is a good teacher. He is funny in class but sometimes the class is very dull. Material is easy for a few months then gets very difficult. He is always willing to help anyone outside of class. His exams come directly from the notes, but are still rather difficult, especially exams 3 and 4. Its a lot of work for an A, but a B/C is attainable

AWESOME!!! I loved Ming Ming as a teacher, he's very helpful to his students. The class itself is boring, but his tests are very doable. He has a great sense of humor too! He doesn't take crap from lazy people either, so don't try to mess with him.

Xu was one of the best professors I ever had. He does his best to make chemistry interesting. He actually takes the time to fully explain a topic so it's understandable and test you purely on notes. Great, funny teacher, just be prepared having to deal with chemistry as a freshmen, he may be the best but chem 155 is a hard class as it is.

Mingming is the best professor I have. He makes funny jokes all the time and makes things easy to understand. Take him for sure.

Dr. Xu has been my favorite professor so far. Chemistry is not an easy subject by any means, but he is willing to help you in any way that he can. He has a good sense of humor. He has an accent like everyone would expect, but he is very easy to understand.

Great Teacher. Would recommend. He keeps the class attentive and does almost every exam problem type on the board during lecture.

Very helpful, always available during office hours, overall good teacher.

Mingming was an awesome teacher. Sometimes he would try to be really serious, but he would usually try to make a joke or something during class to keep you interested. A little hard to understand at first but you catch on quick.

Dr. Xu was an amazing professor. He was always very helpful and kept class interesting. He reminded me of my high school Chemistry teacher, which was great. His teaching style is very easy to follow and I thought he was very easily understood. Definitely would recommend him to anybody taking Chemistry.

Good teacher. Knows what he's talking about and gives good notes. Tests are a little difficult, but if you study really hard for them and know the examples that he provides you should be fine. Always very helpful and understanding. Was always willing to help at office hours, I recommend this teacher.

Professor Xu was absolutely amazing. I learned so much in this class I would have never wanted another teacher. He was so good as explaning things. His tests are ONLY what he goes over in class; he won't give anything he hasn't taught. However, he loves to try to trick you so make sure you know common mistakes that students make. go to class!

Excellent teacher. Be careful because of his wittiness. Tends to trick you on questions on exams..Study study study and you'll do fine. Never read over questions.. Also, handwriting is sloppy so sit close to the board so it's easily understood.. Lastly, beware of WILEY!! Has nothing to do with what is taught in class!!!

Ming Ming was a great professor! He tells you the information that you need for the tests, you just have to make sure you listen and attend class. Granted Chem 117 is not an easy course, so you have to put a lot of hours into studying and practicing. Ming Ming was always willing to assist or tutor during office hours!

This man is great. Chemistry is a very difficult course so no matter who you get it will be challenging, but MingMing does a great job of teaching everything.

I would definitely recommend Dr.Xu. He is always willing to help students and is very easy to understand. His tests are very similar to the problems he does in lecture. Favorite professor so far!

Very Good professor. You can tell he spends a lot of time preparing his lectures and his exams closely resemble lecture material. His tests are difficult but his great teaching makes them easily manageable. Also DO NOT be worried about his speech when you hear his name. His English is VERY good.

The material is really tough, no matter who you have. I think he gives amazing lectures, though. If you go to class, you will really learn something. A lot of students feel his tests are too hard, but I didn't feel this way. I think if you put the work in, you will get a decent grade in the class and learn a lot more than with other professors.

awesome professor. he knows exactly what he is teaching and knows the material very well. the professors make this class harder than it really is to scare everyone. just get your achievement points and you can retake the required tests as many times as needed. i suggest that you DO NOT drop this class. the finals are very easy to get your points

I took Dr. Xu for both Chem 115 and 117. He may be slightly tougher than the other professors but you really learn the material and the final is easier because of it. His grading standards are clear. He may not come off as super friendly but he's open to questions and loves to see that students are trying. If you work, you can get a decent grade.

The secret to passing 115 is to take very good notes and copy verbatim what Xu writes on the board. Problems on exams come straight from the notes and online youtube videos he goes through step by step. Somewhat pretentious but you find hat with most chemistry professors. I enjoyed his lectures and how easy he made topics to understand. Take him!!

Mingming has probably taught me the most this past semester. If you miss class, there is no catching up. Tests are extremely difficult, but they are fair. He never tests students on material that he didn't personally go over in class. Do your Aleks homework, that 10% is a life saver!

Mingming is tough, but fair. By far the best chem teacher at WVU as far as I've heard. His lectures are clear and he tries very hard to make the material understandable. He is funny every now and then but very busy. His English is very good, so don't worry about not understanding him.

By far, the best professor I've ever come by. Very difficult. VERY difficult exams. But he prepares you for all of it. Attend class, do the homework, study for the exams, and you'll get an A. He rewards the students that work hard and that's all there is to it. Incredibly fair, super helpful when I go to his office. Took him both semesters of chem.

Mingming is an excellent chemistry professor and tries very hard to communicate the material to students. As is expected, chemistry is a very difficult course so you HAVE to study. His tests are thorough and quite difficult but manageable of you study well in advance. Mingming frequently cracks jokes during class and is willing to help anyone.

His class was much easier than my high school chemistry class, but I think Professor Xu was more thorough in teaching the material. I would definitely take him again, just wished he taught organic chem!

Very clear and funny with purpose. "You put the toaster in the tub with the fat guy; he's gonna get toasted". GO TO CLASS. Or else the homework is impossible. But if you do go? You will learn more in 1 class than a whole year of high school Chemistry.

The class was very difficult, and the tests are mind blowing, but if you're willing to work for your grade and seek help when you need it, he's always there to help and there's no reason you should fail. Chemistry is tough, there's no way around that, but he explains everything very well and he makes the class a little more bearable.

Dr. Xu is an excellent teacher, however that does not mean his class is easy. You absolutely must study for every exam. When you feel like you have studied enough, study a little bit more. His exams are extremely difficult, however he prepares you for the departmental final the best. Talking with friends in other classes has shown me he is the best

Mingming was a great teacher, but his tests were awful. Expect major trick questions!

IF you hate writing note each class DON'T TAKE HIM, his explanation is good but he doesn't have lecture note and you have to take notes each class to get a good grade or you won't pass.

If you have to take CHEM 115 or 116, take it with Dr. Xu. He is really fair, funny, takes no nonsense, and wants you to pass. For exams, study with the YouTube problem-solving links he puts up. They help immensely!! You will pass if you go to class, take notes, and repeatedly go over practice questions from the notes and homework.

Mingming really knows what he is talking about and will help if you ever need anything. If something is confusing, talk to him after class or go to his office hours and he will help as much as possible. Has a good sense of humor and you must go to his lectures.

He was the greatest professor I have ever had at WVU. He helped me so much throughout my undergrad years and helped me get into medical school. I am so grateful I had the privilege of having Dr. Xu. I highly recommend him to any student.

Mingming is not the easiest professor but he is one that you will learn so much from. Do not and I repeat DO NOT scan in for class and then leave because he will catch you. If you study, pay attention, and take good notes you should be fine. No issues with understanding him. I am taking Chem 116 now from him and I have an A so far.

Dr. Xu wants you to pass his class. He ALWAYS points out everything he will try to trip you up on during the exams, so there is no reason you should fail them. Personally, his teaching style is not for me. He is a story teller and can take a whole class to go over one topic. If that kind of teacher benefits you I would definitely recommend!

I took Mingming for both 115 and 116! He is a great teacher but his tests are super hard. Attendance is mandatory or you will fail the class. He is usually available for help outside of class, but sometimes going to his office hours are not the best idea if you ask dumb questions.

Definitely have to work for the grade you want. If your not a good test taker than his class is probably not for you since most of the class rests on your test grades. But he is very straightforward with his notes and what you have to study for the test. I had him for both semesters and the work load is manageable.

Professor Xu is a 'no-nonsense' teacher but he is good at explaining difficult concepts and does plenty of example problems. If you go to class and actively take notes you will learn a lot. His grading of homework and tests is consistent and fair. His English is easy to understand.

Mingming is the best! His English is very easy to understand and he is hilarious. His lectures make mostly everything easy to understand. TAKE TAKE TAKE!

prepares you for the final. he has the hardest exams, but all of his questions come from your notes and examples. do the practice exams, do all of your homework, go to class, and GET HELP when you need it. if you work hard you could get a b

Best for 115! Teaching style is analogy/story heavy, but examples directly address common mistakes. Explanations are mainly verbal, write down what he says as well as whats on the board. Tells you how topics will show up on an exam as well as ways to study/practice. Doesn't want students to fail, but has no sympathy if you don't put in any effort.

This class was a lot of work with the homework, lab, and tests. Chemistry isn't my best focus but I came out of CHEM 115 & 116 with a B. He was pretty funny during lectures. He expects achievement from his students. He is quite fair.

amazing professor, now he do the teach a very well A++

He is very entertaining during lecture, and really tries to explain concepts in simple manners. He also has a youtube channel with sample problems if you feel like you need extra practice or more exposure to some of the concepts in lecture.

Overall, he is a great teacher. I have never learned more in a science class before having him. I found the material to be very interesting, especially when he would use a plethora of analogies for it to make sense. He is very knowledgeable and very helpful. However, if you plan to skip class, make sure you ask a friend for notes or you will fail.

mingming is a very talented professor, I loved his lecture. if you wanna do well on the test you gotta study for it.

He will only write notes out on the board and will not post notes online so you need to show up to class if you want to pass. You need to study if you want to get a good grade as his tests are harder than the other 116 professor. Ask around for more practice tests as he gives you one per exam. If you work hard and pay attention, you'll be okay.

Xus class is very lecture-driven. His exams are not too difficult. However, if youve never taken a chemistry course before it might be difficult because he expects you to already know some things. Online homework due every week. His English is easy to understand. If you study your notes thoroughly, then you should pass his class.

Dr. Xu is a pretty good professor. However, he doesn't make much of an effort to help the students understand the subject beyond presenting it in class. You ask a question and his response is generally "you should know this from class". He's an alright guy, very funny, but make plans to go to tutoring if you want any help outside lecture.

Dr. Xu really cares about his students. He knows what he's talking about, and I think he explains everything really well. The most impressive thing for me has been how he has handled the move to online classes during the COVID-19 crisis. He wants to make sure that everyone still has a fair chance at passing the class, and his efforts show.

I think he has a great knowledge of chemistry and presents it well. GO TO CLASS. If you miss class you will fall behind. If you do practice problems, weekly quizzes, and read the notes you will be prepared for the test. He is helpful ones you get past his jokes and sarcasm.

Dr. Xu is a great guy. He tries to be funny in class which makes the lectures less boring. Content is annoying and its hard to pay attention during the lecture but the class wasn't that bad.

This is definitely a class that you'll have to put effort into, but as long as you go to lecture, take notes, and study after class you will be fine. He is very good at explaining topics thoroughly, and from my experience the students that disliked him/did bad in the class did not put in the effort to learn the material. Very funny and a nice guy.

Love this man so much. Hes so funny and truly cares about his students. However, if you dont put effort in, you wont do well in the class. He is more than willing to help.

Dr. Xu is a great professor!!! Sit near the front since his lectures are on the chalkboard. His lectures cover everything you need to know and he provides exam like examples. The material on ecampus is helpful for the tests. This class is fairly easy if you GO TO CLASS, pay attention, and study before the test. He speaks very good English as well.

Dr. Xu is very good at explaining hard concepts in an easy way. Definitely go to the lectures. He's actually pretty funny, but serious all at the same time. The tests are a little harder than the examples in class. Make sure you study conceptual stuff and the math rather than just the math.

Professor Xu gives good lectures on everything you need for Chem116; there was never a need to read the textbook (although it's free/online and can't hurt). Definitely write down every bullet point and example problem, they're perfect study tools for the exams. Study hard for the exams and you should pass with no problem (with good prior chem).

Easy to understand, makes class interesting, solid lectures I do feel like if you don't understand a concept in the way he initially explains it, he's not that great at explaining things in a different way, but those situations are few and far between

I consider Dr. Xu as a good professor. He always responded to my emails in a timely manner and answered any questions I had to the best of his ability. He was very good at making hard concepts simple to understand. To succeed in his class you just have to put in the work. I look forward to having him next semester.

This class definitely requires a good bit of work on your own. If you did not watch the lecture videos he sent out weekly, good luck doing well in the class. Many of the exam questions were similar to questions reviewed in lecture and quizzes. He made exam review videos to discuss the most missed questions which definitely helped for the final.

The exams are hard. I got a 60 on the first one, but was still able to make an A in the class. The final is easier than the rest of the exams, so it is a grade booster. His lectures are really helpful. The only think I didn't like was the Aleks homework.

Dr. Xu is a fantastic professor!! You will learn so much from his class. I literally adore this man. If you have him, you are so lucky. He is super kind and works really hard to make sure you understand what he is teaching. Hosted office hours all the time so you could log in and talk to him. Literally such a gem of a human.

Most people are rating Dr. Xu way too harsh. Chemistry is a hard course in general, but he does a good job teaching it. Video lectures are long & boring, but really helpful. If you watch the videos, do homework, and study you'll do fine. Exams were very straight forward and matched notes and examples. Just wish he'd post grades on ecampus

He is super nice and explains things very well if you ask him, you have to pay attention during lectures and you be alright.

I think he is the best choice of chemistry professors at WVU. I took him for 115 and 116 and received an A for both. The exams are pretty hard, but as long as you pay close attention to the examples given in lecture and review your notes well, you should be fine!

Dr. Xu is truly an amazing teacher. I hesitated to take him at first but I would recommend him to anyone taking chem 116. He is my fav prof at WVU so far. He definitely doesn't sugar coat anything and his tests are hard, but if you study you will be fine. He is also great when you ask him questions at explaining them 1 on 1.

Mingming is a good teacher, but only gives 1 or 2 examples for each concept. If you are coming in with a decent chem background, you will do fine but studying is a must. Everything on exams is covered in class but you have to be willing to take the time to study to truly understand it. HW is not helpful and annoying since it's on ALEKS, but doable.

Do not skip class or you will be lost. If you have trouble understanding concepts with only one or two examples, then this is not the class for you. He covers material extremely quickly and never reviews after it is first presented. Exam content is expected but is very hard if you do not study and really review notes, recitations, and quizzes.

Dr. Xu has a reputation of being hard but he gives you a lot of resources to practice the material. His lectures are also really easy to follow because he writes everything on the board. His tests are hard but its because of the content and time constraint, not him. Just do all of the practice work he suggests and youll be fine.

Mingming gives good lectures, test material matches exactly what you do in class and homework. I had him for both 115 and 116, both classes were great and fairly easy. If you're a strong student, it won't be a hard class. Although if you skip class and don't do the homework/quizzes, you'll definitely fail.

Dr. Xu makes it easy to stay engaged. He asks questions to make sure the class is on the same page. He won't test topics that haven't been covered, and he puts recitation worksheets/self-assesment questions on eCampus. Examples covered in worksheets, quizzes, and lecture notes are pretty similar to the exam. Don't skip class and you'll be fine.

Professor Xu is, without a doubt, the best professor I've ever had. I think a lot of the poor reviews are kids coming in to 115 and 116 straight out of high school AP chem or 110 etc. Chem is hard. The exams are hard. But it is chemistry. Dr. Xu is incredibly engaging, kind, takes things slowly, and provides several examples. I highly recommend.

Professor Xu is an amazing teacher, its just unfortunate the material is very difficult to grasp. He made many great and funny analogies that made the class easier. There are quizzes every non-exam week and a few extra credit assignments. Exams are multiple choice but have randomized questions for every student, which really hurt me on the final.

Mingming is an amazing teacher. I've had him for other chem courses and have always felt they were fair. The problem is this semester he had to coordinate his exams with Betsy. These professors have completely different teaching styles and often teach completely different things. It is not viable to make their exams the same.

Professor Xu is hands-down my favorite instructor at WVU. Chem is difficult, and no one is going to make it easily digestible, but Mingming makes an extreme effort to be engaging, entertaining, and to cover everything thoroughly. Judging from previous reviews I imagine he really changed up his teaching style, and is (now) a must take for Chem.

I had him for 115 and 116. A lot of people didn't like him but it was just because the class was hard. You have to pay attention during lectures. As long as you pay attention and submit homework and quizzes on time you will be fine. I got a B in both and barely studied. For 116 he gave us a lot of opportunities to improve our grades.

MingMong was a great guy and a heartfelt friend. chemistry

Professor Mingming makes chemistry engaging, even if the material is challenging. Attend class, use the free textbook, and try unstuckstudy ai - it's a great study tool. The exams are tough, but putting in the work pays off.

He's a Chinese professor, but he speaks English better than most non-American professors. He does care about his students, but they don't seem to put in the work to get good grades.

He's the goat. Plain and simple. Great teacher, got me inspired in chemistry. All the math is the same with a little change. He's got sass.

Very lecture heavy. Attendance isn't mandatory, but not attending the lectures will result in a poor grade. Exams are 50% of your grade with the final being 25% but he gives you pre-tests that are exactly like the exams. If you practice those, along with the homeworks, you will get a good grade. People complaining definitely just slacked off.

Mingming gets a bad reputation but I found him to be an amazing chemistry teacher. His homework and exams are challenging, but if you put in the effort to understand the content and ask for help when needed, you shouldn't find yourself in any trouble.

While Dr. Gu can be an intense force in the lecture hall, he is a very good teacher if you take the time to show up and focus/follow along with his examples! Although I struggle a bit with chem, his (sometimes hilarious) explanations and dedication to helping anyone who asks made this class easier for me. I definitely recommend him for 116!

Dr. Xu is definitely hard to work with at the start of the semester. But once you settle in and get used to the teaching style, then the class becomes far easier. You have to study and show up, but doing those simple things make it 10x easier to pass compared to just giving up cause the professor is tough to work with at the start.

Dr. Xu is an amazing professor. His lectures are pretty good, and he uses good analogies to explain difficult concepts better. He is also very funny. The class is very test heavy though, so be prepared to study.

Really difficult professor but teaches the material excellently.

Funny and kind. Chem 115 is not hard as long as you take notes in class.

He's an overall silly guy. He might not be the best at explaining things but he's a very fair grader.

It is a tougher class, but he genuinely cares and wants the class to do well. If you do well with the homework, take notes, and pay attention in class, you will be fine!

CHEM 115 is generally all over the place, regardless. It is a good general overview of Chemistry if you want to learn and have some background. He wants his students to succeed and is available a good portion of the week if you need to come in. Most of your grade is exams and there is little chance for extra credit.

Mingming is great. I had him for both CHEM 115 and 116, and I feel like he has helped me develop a good foundation for general chemistry. He was good for 115, but he was great for 116. He is very funny and gives good lectures. If you show up to class and put in the work, you will pass this class. I highly reccomend him.

People give Mingming a bad wrap and want to blame their grade on the professor when really they do not want to put in the work. The pretests and homework are the same questions that are on the exams, so as long as you get good grades on those, you will be fine. I took AP chem in high school, and this class was a breeze.

Professor Mingming was one of my favorite professors, you could tell he really cared about how his students were doing. The class can be hard, content wise, but he is very thorough on his notes and provides other resources besides homework to help you prepare.

Tough, but a very good professor.

Prof. Xu was a good professor , his exam questions are "almost" identical to the Homework practice questions , He gives lots of Homework assignments and quizzes , and he is caring. He is a tough grader, but if you stay engaged in class, attend regularly, ask questions, and keep up with the homework, you can do well.
