Dr. Seungjin Lee tries to be a great professor but falls far from the mark. Asking questions doesn't help because he just repeats what he said before instead of breaking things down in order to help people. He gives a ton of homework and doesn't use the online resource Mastering Chemistry that is suppose to help students. Do not take him.

Dr. Lee moves really fast, skips over things, goes back and forth a lot, and doesn't explain things very well. He never sounds like he knows what he's talking about. His labs are really easy. Basically completion grades. Fall 2015 was his first semester teaching so maybe he'll learn some teaching techniques. He's super nice though.

Professor Lee has got to be my favorite chemistry instructor. He's really down to earth, and a great teacher! Unlike some professors, he cares about his students understanding the material, and he offers plenty of bonus assignments. He doesn't require you to read but you'll benefit the most from it as not many things can be covered in lecture.

Dr. Lee is a kind professor and is willing to work with students, but you have to be the one to reach out. Not much lecturing, so you do kind of have to fill in the gaps yourself because there isn't much in depth explaining in class. Also, he only explains select topics so if you don't specify what you don't understand, he won't go over it.

I 100% recommend taking Dr. Lee's classes. He is very caring professor and he always makes sure his students will pass. Keep up with the textbook, assignments and lab. If you do everything in your power to pass his class he will help you out.

he is a good person but his teaching method is questionable. This class is self-taught. I'm perplexed by how high he is rated. If you stress about chemistry do not take him. He gives extra credit towards the end of the semester.

Asynchronous Class? so it should be as a easy as doing the work and getting a grade right? WRONG. This professor wants an explanation for every question of every worksheet given regardless of the difficulty. My friends and i took the course and worked together on assignments but despite having the same amount of work we got different grades.

Professor Lee really does care about his students. For an online class it started off hard but it became easier. Stick it out I promise it will work out at the end of the semester he work with you! PS review the homework and quizzes for the test!

Honestly so far he has been amazing! He cares about his students and makes sure they are understanding. He gives us some extra credit as well! Do the work, ask questions, and talk to him, he likes to go into conversations about his hobbies. Just prepare for the amount of homework! If there is a problem he will try his best way to fix it it!

Dr. Lee is a really nice, inspiring, dedicated person as well as caring for his students. At the beginning of the semester it was confusing the instructions. If you have any questions just reach out to him, he will answer your questions and help you out. Also, he follows professional ethics. He will give extra credit at the end of the semester!

Took Dr Lee for CHEM1212K online/async and loved it. Very nice prof who wants you to excel. Gives many opportunities for extra help and grade boosters. Very understanding and wants students to do well. Super encouraging and helpful even though the course is super heavy.

He was caring, but he was a bad teacher, his lessons were complicated and difficult to understand and he moves fast through courses. Lastly, He automatically gives a D if you fail the final making all other grades pointless

He is kind but TOUGH, real tough. He gives LOTS of work. Most of the homework is 10+ pages of handwritten work that you then uploaded as a PDF file. He has a clause that if you even ask him for an extension he takes points off your grade. He is extremely strict. The content is not hard but his grading is very nitpicky. Take at your own RISK.

He is a tough grader, so you have to follow his exact guidelines. He's very caring and funny, just a tough professor. I enjoyed his lectures and his feedback, and he was always available outside of class. He was also very understanding when I was had some family issues, so he will give exceptions to people who really need it.

Look, if you put forth the effort and make use of his online content then you should pass the class. Dr.Lee cares and wants to make a difference in every student. He expects professionalism throughout the class. Labs are written out so students understand the material, hw isnt graded and he provides the answer keys to almost all content.

I had Dr. Lee as my lab instructor for the summer semester. He was very clear on what he expected from us. Attendance, punctuality, turning things in on time, and participation are essential for doing well in the course. Lab practical/CURE project weren't heavy or difficult. Great professor overall and he was helpful in and out of the classroom!

Dr. Lee wants you to work hard, and as long as you do so, you will pass!! I was very intimidated by the syllabus and almost dropped the class, but i'm glad i didn't. I failed 2/3 exams and still passed with a B. As long as you do the work and show professionalism, Dr. Lee will work with you. Also offers easy extra credit and curves some tests!!

I took this class online, asynchronous. Be prepared for a *lot* of handwritten work! Professor Lee himself seems kind and helpful, although he emphasizes structure and is little picky about work submission. Always replied to emails promptly and was very helpful with any questions. There is some extra credit! The class does begin very work heavy...

Lecture was a lot of math problems and definitions. Lab was full of lab reports handwritten!! Labs were fun but took a while. Lots of extra credit and bonuses at the end of the semester as a reward for hard work. Has lots of resources to practice lecture questions. Would definitely take again!

Dr. Lee is understanding and allows opportunities to redo assignments. His lessons are okay, but he's not very helpful with concepts questions. He explains the math parts clearly. Tests are exactly like the homework questions. He does want all labs hand written. He's a tough grader when it comes to labs.

I'm not a chem major, but he was amazing did bad on quizzes but the test and homework were easy (to me) with a lot of studying. Made himself available for any questions and would allow retakes if class averages were low. The group project was easy. He's really straight forward with what he expects.

Dr. Lee is very understanding and wants all his students to succeed. His quizzes were more difficult than the exams, but he allowed 2nd attempts if the class average was low. Exams were just like the homework. However, he did give many assignments that had to be handwritten, not typed. Fun labs and easy cure project. Would definitely recommend!

I was not excited for this class, but Dr. Lee made this course fun and easy to understand. He makes sure to give you EVERYTHING you need to pass his class. STUDYING will help you pass this course. He goes based on the slides and textbook. The quizzes & exams are all VERY SIMILAR to the practice ones! Very generous with EXTRA CREDIT!

Doesn't provide clear grading criteria. Although he does give extra credit ne is very specific on snowing step by step procedure during test. You'll need to ask multiple questions just to get a straight forward answer.
