I cannot believe that only one person recommended her till now. She is very nice, and her lecture is really clear to understand. I took her class and was genuinely sorry that I was unable to take her class again since she would not teach for general chem classes in 2011.

Dr. Lou is a young and sexy Organic Chemistry professor with passion in her field. Exams and quizes are no surprises and creative extra credit is earnable. She uses a rewarding teaching style, giving those that answer a class question first with bonus points, daily gratification of things you should know anyways, but just makes it fun to learn.

Professor Lou has a fun but competitive way for us to earn bonus points in the class. Has very nit picky checklists for your lab reports. Prepares you well for the ACS exam compared to other colleges. On average, over 40% of her students get 90th percentile or above on the ACS exam!

I'm surprised at the negative reviews. I have 211 now with her and love it (as much as one can like organic chem) She is willing to help, and cares about your performance. She provides plenty of time for the exams and there are no surprises in the content. Would definitely recommend her & I know I will take 212 with her again. Friday lab is best!!

Dr. Lou is an amazing professor. Was always willing to go out of her way to help her students understand the material. She does have an accent but it was never an issue. i did not do as well as i wanted but that was my fault. I do plan on taking her for CHEM212 but with a different mindset. God is good.

She provides you with everything you need to pass her class. There are no tricks or surprises. She has a huge heart; very willing to make sure her students achieve. She understands what it is like to be a student and the struggles in our lives. i definitely recommend her if you want to learn Organic Chemistry. Friday lab is the best!

i would recommend her. Always walks in with a positive attitude. She loves her job so i helped me learn. I wish she would do more worked out examples but other than that she is an amazing professor. Going to take her for 212.

Professor Lou is an awesome professor who is approachable and enjoys seeing her students succeed. OCHEM is a time-crunching class which can be a bit intimidating but Professor Lou tells her students everything they need to know to succeed. Read the book, study the lecture notes and ASK QUESTIONS. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If you are willing to put in the work you will do well. This depends on your ability to stay disciplined.

I took Lou for both ochem classes and would definitely take her again if I would. She isnt the greatest when you ask her a question because she doesnt necessarily know a lot of ochem at all, but whatever she doesnt know she wont ask about. Shes honestly really really easy and that makes her class pretty doable. Just do never take her lab ever ever.

Honestly, very fair and very willing to go an extra mile for you. The class is tough so do not expect that you could just go by with a minimal amount of work. She prepares very very well for the ACS, more than any other ochem professor at cerritos and the stats support that. Not only will you have an amazing professor, but a great mentor and frien

Class content is definitely not easy and you need to stay on top of it, but ochem is definitely strengthened my love for chem. There is nothing that Prof Lou would not do to help you get a better grasp on the material. She helps you stay on top of material by weekly quizzes. Her students score higher on the ACS national exam than any other prof!!

I had an awesome and rewarding experience with professor Lou. She is a great chemistry professor and very inspirational. You will learn A LOT in her class and everyone was awesome! The material wasn't difficult to understand, but the content was rich. The key to succeeding in her class is stretching out your studies evenly throughout the semester.

Dr. Lou is a good teacher. She is always professional, fair, organized, accecible and she really wants everyone to succeed. Organic Chemistry is a chellenging course and to succedd you need to put A LOT of EFFORT and TIME. She will advice you to read a book and take notes, so read book BEFORE LECTURE and then all slides will make sense. Practice!

Professor Lou is a great Professor. I took her for Chem 211 and Chem 212, got over 95% overall for both classes. This isn't an easy class and you NEED to work for it. Make sure that you listen to her lectures, do the homework, and end of chapter problems. She is very caring and listens to you for your feedbacks so don't hesitate to ask her for help

Lou is a prof who really cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Her lectures are fast pace so try to keep up. The class is difficult but overall if you look through her lecture Notes, organized board summaries, and do the end of chapter problems, then that should really prepare you for the exams.

Ochem is tough but Dr. Lou will really guide you through it. She provides a bunch of videos, practice sets and practice quizzes to help for the weekly quiz. Workload can get overwhelming sometimes especially with labs. She offers some extra credit and communicates very well. She's super sweet and her summary videos got me through the class.

Dr. Lou knows a lot of about Organic Chemistry. She was well prepared and she gave us a lot of problems to work with. As a student, you must in charge of your education. She definitely guided me to work on my study habit. I am very thankful for her dedication toward Cerritos College students who took her class.

Dr. Lou is one of the best professors I have ever had- any subject. She loves her job and goes above and beyond to help you succeed in this difficult course. She takes advice from her students and is always looking for feedback on how to design her teaching methods to best help her students. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for Ochem.

Dr. Lou will give you all the resources to succeed. She wants all her students to pass and will accommodate the course based on what is better for the class. This is probably one of the hardest courses at Cerritos, so take it with a professor that keeps the class organized, knows her stuff, and will go out of her way to help out. Best O-chem prof!

She is super friendly and cares about your learning. The lectures are well written and well taught, and the labs correlate to the lecture material. Overall, amazing professor and great for understanding and enjoying OChem.

Dr Lou was an awesome instructor, she is accessible on pronto at all times, very caring and extremely passionate. Her practice quizzes are really similar to actual quizzes so make sure to save them for a refresher. Exams are straightforward, if you do the homework she assigns you should have no problem passing the class. A tough course but doable.

She is a very nice professor who truly wants you to succeed in her class. She encourages you to ask her questions in lectures and makes lectures fun and engaging by doing class games based on the material. To be successful in her class it is important to review the materials she offers such as doing the practice quizzes. Overall, best o-chem prof:)

Professor Lou presents lectures that are easy to follow and really cares about her students. The practice quizzes that were given helps to prepare for both the quizzes and exams. I recommend this professor!

Professor Lou is a caring professor and always tries the best to make the class interesting. The assigns homework according to what we learn. There is not a lot of homework but if you leave everything until the due date it will accumulate. Beware of the exams, because they tend to be no more than 40 questions, each question being 2 or 3 points.

Lou is a very caring professor and wants all her students to succeed. The material is hard and heavy of course but she does her part in helping to understand and sets up practice quizzes, quizzes, and exams with related questions (no surprise topics or questions). Being a part of a team is also super helpful.

This professor provides very good summaries of each chapter, which are really helpful for the exams. This class was very difficult in general, but I will say it was a lot easier with the way that she explained the mechanisms.

Professor Lou has been one of the best chemistry professors I have had. She really cares about the class material and ensuring the students learn the material. The material is fairly difficult, however her lectures and office hours made the class much easier to learn. Working with a team was a great way to better understand the course.

She does an amazing job of breaking down complex topics when needed and giving good ways to quickly learn mechanisms

Dr. Lou is an amazing professor to take OCHEM with. The material is hard, but she does her best to make it digestible. Her lectures were recorded so we could watch them back if needed and the summary charts for each chapter were useful. If you pay attention in the lecture and do the practice problems you should be fine for the exams and quizzes.

Chemistry can be really confusing, but Dr.Lou made the lectures very clear and understandable to learn the material. However, you do really need to put the effort and time outside of lecture to have a solid foundation. I would recommend that you start off the semester refining your knowledge with CHEM 211, so you will not fall behind.

Professor Lou is great! She really cares about her students and tries her best to make sure everyone understands the concepts at hand. She uses pronto a lot which allows students to keep up with class announcements 24/7. She also offers extra credit for all of the exams which can be earned throughout the lectures.

What grade you get in this class depends a lot on the work that you put in. I came into chem 212 without a good foundation on mechanisms and struggled but I would end up bringing back my grade to a 76. She is very clear with what she wants on your lab reports through her checklists. She's very nice and go to office hours, they help a lot!!!

The grade that you get in this class depends on the work that you're willing to put in. She's very nice and I highly recommend you go to her office hours. She does a great job teaching and is clear with what she wants on lab reports.

Professor Lou is a very passionate teacher and works with her students to make learning Ochem as smooth as possible. She is extremely accessible outside of class and really cares about students concerns and questions. I would definitely take her again she's a really good teacher.

If you have her for lab she loves to talk and give a mini lecture before doing the lab. This was a little hard because she would lecture for an hour and we would have to rush to the lab. But other than that she does care for you and wants you to succeed. She can help you almost always as long as you ask. I would take her again.

Dr. Lou is an amazing professor. She truly cares about her students being successful in her class. She gives plenty of opportunities to receive points and is always available for help. This class can be difficult. but Dr. Lou made the class go by so easily. I'm hoping to take her again for Chem 112.

I had this professor for chem 110. She is always giving out extra credit points for participating which are really easy to earn.Her practice test and quizzes are very similar to the real deal. It is up to you to put in effort to pass this class because she gives you all the resources available. She is very kind and easy to approach unlike others.

Class goes at a fast pace and most assignments are done online.

Dr. Lou is one of the sweetest professors I have ever taken. She is very flexible and is always willing to adjust her teaching style in order to accomodate the needs of her students. She is very accessible outside of class and is always willing to help you learn. I highly recommend Dr. Lou!

Although this is a very difficult class, Dr. Lou gives us a lot of useful assignments and extra credit opportunities to help our overall grade. She consistently checks in on how we're keeping up with the class and our other courses and is very communicative. She's flexible and I overall enjoyed taking her class!

Very enthusiastic and great Professor. Course material is pretty hard so expect to make a lot of time to study but she is very helpful if you have any questions. Exams and Quizzes add up and make up most of your grade. Heavily study her Summary Charts.

Wasn't sure about this professor going in, but I am glad now. Dr. Lou is an organized professor and very understanding, she's easy to reach out to for help. Orgo is hard but she tries her best to support you.

This class has to be the hardest class I have taken so far. The class itself is hefty with lots of material to cover but Dr. Lou is so organized and very helpful when students need extra help. She cares about her student and how they do in her class and offer extra material to study on her modules. Thank you Dr. Lou!

From what I understand, Dr. Lou swapped over to an online video lecture under advisement of from some other professors and the students did not enjoy it. However if she is teaching in person, you NEED to take her class, she is by far the most caring professor at Cerritos. The class is fast but I would have failed it with almost anyway else.

Dr. Lou surveyed us as a class on whether we wanted in-person or video-lecture instruction. She is very big on student feedback and will listen to your concerns. I will admit that I was particularly nervous of enrolling to her course due to previous students but she proved me wrong. Learn to communicate with your professors and you'll be fine.

I have never met a more caring or flexible teacher, this class is really really fast, you cant miss a day, but without they way she taught the class I know that I would have failed. She also lets us control when the exams are so we never have a double exam day with another class. If you're taking O-Chem you need to take her class.

Professor Lou is an outstanding professor who genuinely cares for her students. One of the things I truly appreciate about Professor Lou is her use of helpful videos to complement her lectures. She is also incredibly understanding and considerate, showing concern for the needs of the entire class rather than focusing on just a few students.

Dr. lou really does everything she can to help her students pass. This chemistry class is very hard but the way she teaches it anybody can get it done. She offers a lot of extra credit and tutoring and really listens to the students. Practice quizzes and exams are really similar to the real thing.

Amazing professor, lots of help you can reach out to, nearly always available, and always understanding. I look forward to taking her during orgo.

Professor, or Dr. Lou is one of the best STEM professors I have ever had, she really cares for her students and will hear you out when needed, she has some of the funniest mnemonic ways of teaching. This class is difficult, but it is very manageable if you study and prepare for it, please be prepared to self-study a lot, especially for the exams.

Lots of quizzes.

Organic chemistry is tough but rewarding, and Professor Lou makes it manageable. She's hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and flexible, always providing the resources you need to succeed. She will set you up to succeed well for the ACS final. There are plenty of chances to boost your grade you just need to put in the effort.

Dr. Lou is an outstanding professor, with a comprehensible teaching style. She is motivational and ensures all students have opportunities. She is not too hard on students for mistakes and is invested in our success. This professor provides many options for help and makes time to engage with students. She is a great instructor and very inclusive.

Dr. Lou really takes the time to teach her students each lesson and provides many practice quizzes and exams to help!

A very good teacher who always looks for a way in which students learn in an easier way. It gives many opportunities for us to improve our Grades. It explains the topics in great detail and gives easier solutions for us to learn. Highly recommended.

Dr.Lou was a very amazing teacher who clearly had a passion for the subject. She always tried to look out for her students and expressed plenty of concern for her students and their progress in and out of the classroom. The course however is very difficult and will require a lot of work, with a lot of homework and information, so good luck!

Extra credit was given through participation, she was always accessible outside of class and willing to help people. Filled-out lecture outlines could be seen as messy, however, I didn't mind that much. She explained concepts in a way that made it easy to comprehend.

Dr. Lou is a great teacher. She is a bit more focused on in person material such as labs, lectures, and participation. She assigns quite a few assignments, quizzes, and tests but they are not that bad. Would recommend.

Dr. Lou is a great professor. She focuses on in person material such as labs, lectures, and participation. She assigns quite a few homework assignments, quizzes, and tests but they are not difficult. Would recommend.

Dr. Lou is a great professor that really wants her students to succeed. There is a lot of lecturing but she also records them all so that you can watch them again later if you need to. Chem110 is not an easy class but Professor Lou makes sure to help in all ways that she can.

Assignments are online and the pace of the class is fast. The summary videos are helpful, and I appreciated the available late passes because life gets busy sometimes and it's nice to have some flexibility with the due dates. This was the first chem class that didn't give me anxiety before coming to class because of the warm learning environment.

Physics major here: Dr. Lou is extremely intelligent, & kind, she's the blanket you need. She simplifies complex chem probs by cases & most importantly, teaches you how to approach word probs. Course is study-heavy; office hours >plentiful, prerecorded lecs available & practice quizzes open>drill them, it acts as a safety net as you learn.

I thought I was bad at math, I just had bad teachers. I am at awe seeing what I'm capable of after this class. Dr. Lou offers so many resources, a selling point for me were the practice quizzes & pre-recorded lectures in case I got sick or didn't get something. Use her office hours! They save lives! Her tricks & methods are top tier math skills.

Great professor! She really wants you to succeed. All assignments are relavent to what we are learning so we can practice what we learned. Lots of practice tests to help us study anbd learn. You can reach her in office hours for questions.

Despite the grade I got, I know I could've gotten higher if I had done most of my assignments and lab reports, but I was really lazy. Dr. Lou's lectures are extremely helpful and easy to understand, which is helpful for students who don't want to do outside studying. She is also lenient on grading, giving multiple second chances like for quizzes.

Wow what to say about Dr.Lou, she's an awesome professor. She cares about the student and her job and is dedicated and determined to get you out of that class with new found knowledge. Goes above and beyond and is a great person academics aside. She is very organized,

Very understanding of classes' time (flexible with student's schedules) and prepares you for the ACS.

Dr. Lou is an amazing professor who truly cares about student success. Her summary sheets, practice quizzes and consistent feedback made learning easier. She's great at simplifying complex problems and offers plenty of support. Because of this, I and around 40% of my peers scored above the 90th on the ACS, Highly recommend her class!

Don't let recent reviews scare you!Dr. Lou is one of the best STEM professors I've ever had. She truly cares, explains tough topics clearly, gives tons of resources and safety nets like extra credit, practice quizzes and prerecorded lectures. She's lenient on grading and super supportive It truly doesn't get better than Dr.Lou; I highly recommend!!

Dr. Lou is a fantastic professor for Chem 110. She truly cares about her students and does everything in her power to help them succeed. Seriously. She spoiled my semester and allowed me more grace than I deserve. BE AWARE!! There is A LOT of work. It's Chemistry, this class requires a lot of time. However, you are given the resources.

I'm taking her again next semester she's so flexible, understanding, kind and very good in explaining lecture parts.

Dr. Lou is a great Professor. Very flexible with student's schedules and very caring. She offers extra credit and is clear with grading labs. Would take again 10000%

I have taken Dr. Lou's 211 lab, and she is easily one of the best chem professors at Cerritos College. She gives lots and lots of extra credit, lots and lots of time for experiments, and even lets you retake class lab quizzes. She also provides helpful videos and notes for lecture topics. I'll be taking her ochem 212 lab next semester.

By far one of the best professors I've ever taken. Super sweet and cool to talk to. She helps you in any and every way. She might come off a little passive aggressive, but that's just how she is don't take it personal. If you need a sign, this is it. Professor Lou the goat!

I loved this professor. She helped me throughout the whole semester with the lecture videos and her lab instruction. Her quizzes were a little bit challenging but she guides you with her prelab lecture. Will take her again and I recommend her.

Just read the other reviews, my opinions are the same. Also, she played the SMB 1-1 theme on loop for an hour straight during our caffeine lab, which was a surprisingly welcome change to the coffee shop music. The 1 hour loop of the super mario land overworld theme was kind of headache-inducing though. Lou takes song requests, so yeah... goated

She is incredibly caring and always considerate of her students. She provides helpful videos, handouts, and even study guides for quizzes. She also offers extra credit and keeps the workload very reasonable. Even though organic chemistry can be challenging, she creates a calm and supportive environment. One of the best professors I've had!

Dr. Lou is a very kind and effective professor! I loved her lectures and often found myself learning more material in Lab than in Lecture. Materials for reference, uploading videos of debriefs (most of the time), and extra credit opportunities are to be expected. 100% recommend, if you are scared of going into Organic Chemistry.

Dr. Lou provided helpful notes and videos supplementing the OCHEM211 lecture. She used Pronto messaging which is pretty accessible! She also engaged well with each student and showed interest in our progress. For lab reports, she has clear criteria and allows regrading requests.

Dr. Lou is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about your grade and your understanding. She takes the time to explain things clearly, especially if you're not getting it, and she's incredibly supportive in a very challenging class. Her teaching is compassionate, thorough, and truly appreciated.

Dr. Lou does an amazing job at making sure that each student is ready even if they feel like they are falling behind. She made sure to push the lab quizzes because my lecture was a week behind which shows how dedicated she is to ensuring that her students are up to date with what we are learning about in lab and not fall behind at the same time!

Dr. Lou is an amazing lab instructor! Always supportive, she wants to see you succeed! Like any lab, attendance is mandatory to get the hands-on experience. Grades very fairly and even provides late passes. She understands that life happens and makes success very possible.

pretty easy professor for lab of chem 110

Dr. Lou is a great professor, as she was super understanding and actually wants you to do well. If you're struggling, just talk to her—she'll help you figure it out, no stress. Just make sure you watch her pre-lab videos before class and you'll be good. Really fair grader, and she makes a kinda hard class feel pretty manageable. 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Lou is a great professor. She was very helpful and nice during lab and she often helped us and give us tricks for things we were learning in lecture as well. She was also very understanding of us being behind in lecture and helped us accordingly. Would recommend.

I enjoyed the class thoroughly, for being 3 hours long it went by quick. I was in her lab section and learned a lot, things I didn't in lecture. I had a different professor for lecture. The lab wasn't hard as long as you keep up with material and do prelab, she gives you chances to maintain an A, your lowest scores for each category get dropped.

Dr. Lou has quite literally been a god sent angel this semester and made me fall in love with Chemistry, she does everything in her power to watch you and your classmates succeed. She truly cares to see each of her students do well and inspires you to try hard; she puts her effort to help see you grow and as long as you do your part you're golden.

Her class is difficult cause chem is difficult, but the material is very accessible on canvas and through recorded lectures. She gives a lot of extra credit for participating in class or asking questions both in class and on pronto. She's pretty understanding and easy to contact outside of class times as well. No textbook but uses Pearson a lot.

Dr. Lou is a great professor that gives a lot of opportunities to keep your grade up and give you tricks and tools to help you improve your understanding. Chemistry is a hard course but dr. Lou makes things easy to understand. As long as you do your pre labs, worksheets assigned, and do your best on the practice exam you should succeed!

Appreciate how caring & understanding she is apart from her evident knowledge & capability to teach; her genuine intent for all to do their best is clear. Offers a lot of EC for exams, quizzes are team if all put in the effort---effort will reflect nicely with her & she'll offer more EC. Really wants you to pass & learn, & does her best to do so.

Awesome and takes the time to provide help. She even has tutors ready to answer any questions if she's not available. Provide all material and schedule alongside so you can be on top of the work.

Dr. Lou is just one of those professor who just wants to see everyone pass in her class, she gives you alot of extra credit, recorded lecture videos incase you get stuck in understanding certain problems also, has tuturoing hours. Chem. is hard but as long as you stay on task, you'll do great!

When first taking chemistry I was going to drop but the way Dr.Lou teaches it made me not want to drop. She gives EC, have embedded tutors, office hours, team quizzes, pre-recorded videos to go back and watch, provides study guides, has clear grading, and provides feedback on assignments. Overall, she care and want you to pass.

Dr.Lou is an amazing professor, she really cares and wants all her students to pass. Chem is a hard class to take but she does everything she can to help you succeed. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit, provides lecture videos, and is very lenient. If you need to take Chem 110, there is no better professor to take it with.

She explains concepts clearly and makes the class very manageable. Cheat cards are allowed on exams, and lab quizzes are done in groups, which helps reduce stress. She's caring and funny, but students should still stay disciplined and not rely too much on the resources.

There are few people, let alone professors who are as genuine and caring as Dr. Lou. She wants you to succeed and will provide you with numerous extra credit opportunities, the ability to use a cheat sheet for exams, and comprehensive study guides that will leave students confident and prepared. As long as you show up, she will help you thrive.

Dr. Lou is a fantastic professor. She does a great job at explaining the concepts and getting students involved with the lecture. She cares about her students and pushes us to keep going even when we struggle. She also creates a great environment for success with the resources she provides, which is especially helpful in such a difficult course

Professor is great, teaches the subject very well. Shows tricks to help those who have trouble understanding. Notes are incredibly descriptive and I would recommend this class and professor to anyone!

This professor is very kind and understanding, the only reason you would fail this class is because you didn't study or you didn't attend lectures (she still posts lecture videos). Since she asks for participation her lectures help connect with the material and she makes them very straight forward. Amazing Professor I hope you take her!!

Dr.Lou gave us plenty of tricks to help us memorize chemical concepts needed for the semester and they truly helped. I wouldn't have been able to understand and remember key information that I needed to be successful. I highly recommend her class. She also gives extra credit for participating which hosted my grade 5% in the end.

Dr. Lou is an amazing professor! Always encouraging her students to participate. Provides a lot of resources for practice/learning & uploads lab lectures. Good EC opportunities. She's patient and always willing to help students. Clear grading & modules structure! It made it easy to follow through with assignments. Would recommend!
