Not an easy class, but she is fair and if you work hard you will do well.

Dr. Sandhu is a very good teacher. She has a quirky sense of humor, but you have to have an appreciation for chemistry to enjoy it. She is very helpful and loves helping students. Come to lecture and labs and read the book and you will do fine.

A good teacher... Very nice lady. I learned a lot in her class. She explains information very well and helps you when you don't understand something.

She is a great instructor.She has a thick accent but one can understand what she says. She is knowledgable and very helpful and friendly. She may be a bit hard on her tests but if you are interested in chemistry and want to do well in the class, she will only help you to achieve a good grade.

Very easy teacher. accent is hard but you can understand her after a while. Grades very easily. GIVES LOTS OF MERCY. she also lets you turn in stuff late without to much deduction. Very kind knows what she's talking about. I GIVE A+. Recommended.

She's a very nice instructor. Always takes notes on what she wrote on her slide or on the whiteboard. Everything that she wrote will be on the test.

Ms.Sandhu is a very nice instructor as well as a very kind person. Take her class! She is better than some of her colleages thousand times over. So go ahead and enjoy three months of fun with chemistry in Dr.Sandhu's class. A Guaranteed SUCCESS!!!!!

She makes the class extremely interesting and easy. She certainly has a thick accent, but after some time, one can easily understand her. She is very theoretical and a very thorough teacher. Take her when ever you get a chance to.

good teacher, very organized lesson plan makes learning easy and if you miss class you know pretty much exactly what you need to cover. study hard and you will do fine.

She is a great understanding teacher she doesnt help out much in class but if you ask her after she will make sure you understand everything the tests are alright you need to study good and she is not one of thouse teachers that you dont have to study for.. study and be nice and shell be nice to you also i would reccomend her

If you know basic algebra her class is easy. she puts all the fomulas you have to know up somewhere during a test. Therough lectures and examples makes it easy to understand. Although getting used to her accent is a bit tough. Take her class.I didn't open the book outside of class and got a B+.Does get a bit of homework, but due dates arn't set.

She was very strict but the class was easy enough. She's very strict in the lab though...covered shoes! Her tests were fairly self-explanitory, if you did the work you knew what was going on. Nothing tricky about this class.

She is a very intelligent instructor, knew what she was talking about, make sure you take plenty of notes when she is givin her lecutures and study at least 2hrs a day for her class and you will do fine, I dont know what those other people were talking when they said she sucked, they must have just recieve a bad grade in her class, Ignorance.

She's a very nice teacher! She has a bit of an accent but you get used to it pretty fast. She teaches very well and it's easy to take good notes in her class. Gives you lots of time to do homework and explains everything very well. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HER.

I had her for two quaters. The first quater in Chem 101 she was great. She was really well organized and did a great job teaching. The second quarter I had her, she showed up late to almost every class and her lectures were not well prepared. Overall she is an easy grader, but you have to put in the hours studying to do well.

I found this class to be very informative. She's a great professor & she gave help whenever we needed it, in/out of class. It may take awhile to get used to her accent, but overall, the class was worth it. Refers to the textbook a lot. If you read the book, you're set for the test! Easy to get along with.

Sandhu is very kind. She has a sense of humor that springs out of no where. Expect to do the work for her class, though. You get the grade you earn. Study from the textbook, and study hard. She knows the material and she expects that you do, too. Take with an easy class.

Sandhu is awesome! She wants students to succeed. Textbook use is high. Study her material & don't slack off 4 a day. It's not a really hardcore class, but it's not a breeze. If I studied longer & took more time in this class, I would've gotten an A- probably, but a B+ sits pretty well w/ me. She has an accent, but it's understandable.

She's not a push-over, but she makes sure the students understand all of the concepts. If you do the assignments, show up to lab, and pay attention, then an A is very possible. Once you're done with the class, you'll appreciate her teaching style. I'd take her class again. The next Chem professor was terrible...

she is very nice person, willing to help students. Some students disliked her for her accent but it's not her fault! You have an accent too when you speak foreign language. She is a great teacher!

Dr. Sandhu is an incredibly smart and talented individual who had her PhD in BioChem and yet chooses to teach lower level chemistry classes. I am not a science major and never will be, but she helped me when I asked....and I asked alot. She has a sweet sense of humor and tries very hard. Highly recommended!!!

VERY GOOD TEACHER. I don't even understand where these other comments on here are coming from. Yes she has an accent but its not thick and its easy to understand. Plus, SHE IS VERY NICE AND FUNNY. Just pay attention in class and review each night for 1 hour and you should get an A.

Very good teacher! She is very funny and nice! Just study and review what you learned in class each day and you should get an A!

Good teacher. She posts extensive study guides online and covers the test materials in her lectures (not to mention she hands out comprehensive outlines for all of the exams). If you pay attention, attend class every day and can comprehend the material you should have no problem getting an A in her class.

Dr. Sandhu is a very sweet person. She is very helpful. Read ahead and you will be fine. Four exams and one comprehensive final. Easy lab. A few extra-credit opportunities.

Very good teacher, accurate in her math, really knows her stuff. Her examples on the board were very easy to follow and made everything real simple,when they appeared so complex in the book. easy on assignment due dates, no quizzes, labs really easy. Tests are based on the worksheets she assigns, which are not long.

i got D's and C's on all my quizzes and tests but i didnt miss any labs and finished all of my worksheets... i asked lots of questions in class showing that i care and im trying my best and she gave me a B on both chem 161 and 162...shes great!!!!

Dr. Sandhu is very nice, approachable, knowledgeable, and organized. Her lectures are informational and interesting. The homework assignments are extremely helpful and a great preparation tool for tests. Her tests are well designed and a great portrayal of the knowledge and information obtained from class. I would recommend this professor.

She is a good professor. She checks our homework every time. All the exams are from her lecture and worksheets.

I have taken all three Chemistry classes in the series, and she was by far the best Cemistry teacher I had. She gives practice exams to take home so you know what to expect on the tests. Very helpful if you ask questions, very nice.

I loved Prof Sandhu. It did take some time to get use to her style but in the end it was what got me to even like chemistry. She truly wants her students to succeed in chem. She holds your hand all the way through and is very detailed in her explanations. I will definitely take her for higher level chem classes!

I took Chem162 with her last year. She is clear and her powerpoints are fully prepared and explained. Her accent is not an issue as I got used to it after a week. I never opened my textbook and still got an A.

She's a strict teacher and can come across as mean but she really just wants us to know the material. The class itself is not very hard. There are only a few concepts that were really tough and sometimes she wouldn't go into a lot of detail on them. You do have to use your textbook! Outside of the class shes nice and funny. Tests aren't very hard

Sandhu is amazing! I was in her class for 161 & 162. She comes across as very strict because she is. But she is also fair and willing to help. There is a fair amount of homework, but not excessive and really prepares you for the exams. Exams look just like the homeworks only a bit easier. She makes her expectations known.

Knows her stuff. Likes to bring humor to the classroom. Read the book & her notes, do the worksheets and it's a straightforward class.

She is a great teacher. It's not very difficult to get an A in her class if you memorize the things that she points out. There will be some homework but they are all tied to the exams so you won't feel that it's waste of your time working on homework. She is very helpful and tries to make sure nobody gets behind.

Sandhu is my favorite teacher at Bellevue College, by far! She actually cares about how you are doing in her class. She knows her stuff and does a great job at teaching it. Just make sure to attend class, take notes, and do the homework and you will do just fine. She's really sweet and funny too.

This lady is awesome! She's happy to review something before, after, or during class to make sure that you understand the concepts. Her tests are fair - just make sure to print her notes out. You can really tell that she cares about her students (she took the time to learn our names - during Summer Quarter!) and their successes.

I really enjoyed taking the class. She is a great teacher and is more than willing to help students out if asked. The tests are fair and I felt that there were no surprises there. I would definitely take another class with her!

She is the best teacher that I've had a Bellevue College! She really makes Chemistry enjoyable. All of the tests are on everything that we went over in class so there's no surprises and she is super easy on grading homework and labs. I will definitely be taking my future Chemistry courses with her.

She is partially deaf so sit up front if you ask questions. Tests are very straight forward, no surprises. She is strict on attendance but understandably so. Final was all multiple choice, easy. Very nice and helpful. Lenient on late work. 4 tests, lowest dropped (got an A on all). Highly recommend.

Had Sandhu for Fall Qtr 2012. She's one of the more helpful and informative instrs of Chem and tries hard to make you laugh. She is hard of hearing so I would suggest sitting in the front of class but she knows her stuff and is well organized. I received a "B+" only because I missed two exams but I am taking her again for 161.

Sandhu is awesome! By far my favorite Chem instructor at BC. She knows her stuff and is very willing to help her students succeed and understand the material. Ask lots of questions and meet with her as often as you can in her office for assistance on problems especially Chem Math problems. Wish she was teaching the higher chem levels! :)

Wow! Best teacher I've ever had. Knows material like the back of her hand. Made me love chemistry, and I've always hated it. Very clear on what to expect on exams, grades very fairly, teaches concepts clearly as well as the mathematics. Easy to follow (as can be for a science class).

Really knows her material! Is able to teach it in a way that's very easy to understand her class is a pretty fast pace she is always more than welling to help her students if they ask. She is patient and will go through the material until you really understand it. Her exams are a little hard but if you study you should be fine.

Chem.162 is the hardest class of the series.LOTS OF WORK! Read the chapter before class, review the PP which are online and do the worksheets,labs and mastering chem and you will get an A. She is very helpful in answering questions and always available. I've taken many science courses in the past but none have prepared me like Dr. Sandus class.

I had Sandhu for both Chem 140 & 161. Her lectures can be a little confusing, but if you read the material in the book before class she is much easier to follow and actually very helpful. Her homework and tests are of moderate difficulty. She is very reasonable and helpful, honestly wanting students to learn and succeed. I highly recommend Sandhu.

Dr Sandhu is truly a wonderful teacher. Some people had a really hard time with her, but I absolutely loved the class! I don't understand why people found it so difficult; her tests were incredibly easy, and the homework was graded solely on completion. The labs weren't bad. Overall a great class! Don't take if you are easily confused and wont work

Sandhu is a fantastic teacher. Her lectures and expectations are crystal clear. She is lenient as far as assignments and is very understanding when it comes to late work. She is also always willing to help. Her lectures reflected the exams very well and with her worksheets, labs and online notes I barely even cracked open the textbook.

She can be a bit abrasive but she lays everything out for you, all you have to do is use what she gives you. If you don't understand something, make sure to tell her. Sometimes she can seem frustrated that you have to ask, but she's a push-over. If you don't take notes in class she will not be so helpful though, so be sure to write things down.

Liked her a lot. She will go through a lesson twice or a problem multiple times to make sure you really get the problem. She s very detailed in explaining how to work problems. If you study doing the homework problems you will be fine in the exams, do the mastering chemistry, easy points.

She is a very caring teacher. It can come across that she is strict but that is because she wants you to do well. To get a good grade in her class, do all your homework she assigns and ask for help for anything that you do not understand. If you do well, she will write you a great recommendation letter as she did for me!

I enjoyed her class she is a very caring professor and wants you to succeed in her class yes she gives a lot of homework. if you keep up with it it should'tbe so difficult in all honesty having a lot of homework helps your grade. most of the terrible comments come from lazy students that want an easy A but in her class you'll have to work for it.

Sandhu was a great professor! She wants her students to do good in the class and is really helpful. She gives a lot of partial credit and the tests are not too difficult. There is a lot of homework but the homework really prepares you for the exams.

Sandhu was a great professor. I don't really know why people say she is hard because if you attend her class and actually study (which is what college students are supposed to do), there is no reason to not get a good grade. She went over things several times which made it easy to understand material. Take her class.

I actually like her honestly. She really cares about having her students succeed. Unfortunately, her methods of doing so are a little bit unstructured. Her lectures were fine but those handouts basically made up the test questions. If you can get past her accent and strict requirements for her class then you will be pleased by the class overall.

This class was the toughest class I have ever taken, but it was the most rewarding. Though some people rate Sandhu on a low scale, I think that you need to work very hard in her class to be a good student. She was passionate and respectful. I enjoyed being in Sandhu's class and would recommend her if you're willing to learn and work hard.

A lot of people get rattled in the first week or two and I saw people drop the course. This class was definitely challenging, but in a good way. There is a lot of math in this class mostly regarding more types of conversions than you ever thought possible. As you practice it will click become a breeze. I have come to love Professor Sandhu:)

Tough grader, but upfront about what she looks for (sig figs, conversions), only takes partial points off for mistakes; Gives clear and *very* detailed objectives for the text, which helped me be over prepared for content in the exams. Gives notes on each ch. on top of lectures, great clarity; Exams have a lot of calculations; Strict but fair

One of the best professors I had at BC. Gen Chem is not an exciting class and you have to learn to prepare, but this professor was the most helpful who wants her students to succeed. Do your worksheets and practice to understand the exams.

This class was fine. Hard at times, but that's normal. I liked how Sandhu taught overall: she made content relatable and went over everything in great detail. It is kind of a lot of work with a workbook, labs, and exams. She offers so much extra credit however there is no reason you can't get the grade you want if you give an effort.

Professor Sandhu was honestly a great teacher. Yes the class is a lot of work, but she makes it so much better. She cares about her students and really notices whether you put in the effort. The kind of teacher you want to impress. Tests are fine if you study, homework is easy, extra credit, and labs are fine as long as you put in the work.

She's super nice and shows interest in her students. She's always here to help. It's a bit difficult to understand her because of the accent. If you wish to pass, show up to class, do your HW because she checks at least once a week, and listen carefully. Other than that, she's funny and can open up to her students

I wish my high school professor was as knowledgable and caring as Sandhu! I would take her again in a heart beat! She was always willing to take time to help everyone understand the material (even when there were errors in the lab book or tech issues) and she made Chemistry understandable and interesting. Very respectful, I enjoy chem now.

Sandhu is very good at teaching the material. Unfortunately, she sets a negative tone in the classroom which puts some students off. If you want to do well, you *must* attend every single lecture and pay attention the *entire* time. If you like Chemistry and you do the above, you can do well on this course. It's not easy an easy A by any means.

Professor Sandhu is a very good professor who genuinely cares for her students and makes sure that everyone understands all of the material. Her lectures are easy to follow and she spends plenty of time reviewing before tests. She also waived the final which was nice.

Her class is easy. There is lots of practice if you want to do it. There are 3 midterms. If you are happy with your scores on your midterms, you don't have to take it. Class time is always lecture.

Has little mandatory homework, an optional final, and allows test corrections. Isn't really strict about late work and gives clear lectures. Very helpful in office hours and provided a lot of extra worksheets and study materials that made it easy to pass tests. She clearly knows the material well but is slightly hard of hearing and has an accent.

Clear expectations. Provides study guides, in-detail notes, and worksheets w/ answer key. Professor Sandhu clearly understands the material she teaches and is lenient about late work. Final exam is optional.

Underrated. Professor Sandhu's class is straightforward and fair. No need to buy the textbook (I never opened it), just the CHEM140 workbook.

Easy test grader, if you erase the right answer you still get a little credit. No textbook needed just the workbook unless you get confused. A bit old-school in the sense that the professor is god of the classroom but I liked the amount of detail her lectures went into and her generous grading policy. Just show up and you'll get a decent grade

My experience with this professor was fantastic! Very good lectures, clear expectations, more then willing to help the students out, and the exams closely followed the covered information. She is sometimes harsh to students, but those are usually the students who aren't paying attention and aren't participating. Hence, many of the low ratings.

I was skeptical to take her class, but Professor Sandhu's class was amazing! It was my first experience with chemistry, and she made it easy for me to understand. She cares about you passing and participation is very important to pass. Be respectful, ask questions, and pay attention!

if online classes r not ur thing, i wouldn't recommend this class. we experienced sm disconnection issues from the prof, also if 2+ hr classes r not ur thing do not take this!! labs can feel like forever she explains chem concepts exceptionally well tho, and i learned a lot more thru her. lab days can be a bit scattered but overall it's an ok class

If you read the textbook, do the workbook, and peak at the other resources she provides, you'll be fine. Lectures are just her going over the textbook so you don't have to pay that much attention if you read. Easy grader, bonus questions on each exam + test corrections. Only small issue is that she's a little dismissive if you ask for help.

Honesty is one of the kindest teachers imaginable. Everything was easily understandable and she cares a lot for her students. She provides several resources, and her lectures are understandable and mostly clear. Also btw, we didn't need to do the final test. It's an extra credit. But not take my word for it because it could vary.

Very poor lectures but excellent notes. Cares for each student and wants to see you suceed. She is blunt and will call you out if you are falling behind or slacking. She will stay after class often to help you with practice problems and will offer many chances for you to improve your grade. Clear grading requirements and a 19 pg. long syllabus.

For some reason Rate My Professor did not allow me to select CHEM 110, that was the class I took. In all honesty this class is such an easy A. She gives 3 late passes that if unused go for extra credit. Every assignment was easy and I appreciate that everything was due on Thursday every week.
