Best chemistry teacher...I am not a math or science person and she was wonderful. very helpful and understanding

She is very intrested in her students especially the ones who try really hard to have the lab reports handed in on time. This also earns you an extra 2 points per lab.She is a great teacher.

I personally had difficult time understanding hearing her clearly.. she was always willing

I had a difficult time hearing her in class (could be my hearing deficit)..she was always available for extra help..very pleasant to deal with

SHe is a very nice lady. Willing to help if you don't understand. Take her!

Great professor. If you need extra help, she is happy to assist. She tests what is taught and I feel is a lenient grader (especially with late homeworks and labs)

Excellent Chemistry teacher! Take her! She is the sweetest person who is always willing to help you. Tests are exactly what she teaches and her reviews are great she'll hint off whats on the tests. Very lenient grader. It is easy to get an A in her class as long as you follow her and study. I loved her she was great!

The person who wrote the comment below is sour and obviously shouldn't be taking college level work. I took this class over the summer and got an A because I worked my butt off. She calculates your grades according to how you scored on tests, labs and homework. She plays NO favortism and is the sweetest person.

Chemistry is not an easy class, but if you truly want to do well and understand what you are learning take this professor. My whole class loved her and we wanted to be like this "noble gas." Her class was interesting and fun, and it is clear she wants everyone do well.

This professor is great! would love to take her in Chem2 , the class is not easy whatsoever but she really teaches well and puts it in terms that you can understand. I took this class 3 years ago got a D, now since she's such a good teacher, I am getting an A

She is the best teacher! Very helpful, very supportive. If you don't know chemistry she is your gal!!

she is a great teacher. gives you extra credit. the subject is hard but she makes it as fun and understandable as she can. she cares about her students she is tough on attendance. you can miss some if your sick but if you are absent alot and randomly she'll get mad. she is a good prof. i would take her again

This class is HARD. I have a 4.0 and I only got a B. But professor Sambasvian is a great teacher and goes out of her way to help you understand the material. It's just a very hard class. I highly recommend taking her for any chem she is teaching. She is a great teacher.

If youre a beginner and need to learn Chem this is the Professor. She is AWESOME. She explains everything so well. Great great teacher. Highly recommend. Cannot say enough good things about her.

CHE-134 is a very hard course. She goes out of her way to help everyone understand the material. She is such a sweet lady and just wants to see everyone pass. I would take her again for any chemistry class.

Prof Sambasivan is a good professor. However she tends to change her mind over thing she said before. Like, she tells you, you can miss 2 labs then she says you can only miss one. same thing with the exams, she will tell you what is on the exam and then is not. She goes over very easy exercises on the board and then she tests you on the hard ones.

awesome prof will help everyone very clear a little Indian accent. does tons of examples. tests are hard but will curve them. TAKE HER

Nt gonna lie she is very clear when lecturing it is even enjoyable but her exams and labs are just not what u expect. Study hard maybe u get a b

She explains things really well and is super nice! I hate chemistry but she makes it less boring than it was for me in high school. She is a tough grader on labs, but curves the tests. The homework is online, not very difficult. As long as you study and pay attention in class you will do fine

Great prof. Very fair in grading and cares a lot for her students. Always willing to help. If you want to do great, attend her office hrs. I wish I could take her for Chem 134.

Extremely nice, and really enthusiastic about the subject, she is very fair on grading and if she sees that you know what your doing but get the problem wrong shell give you most of the points. Very helpful, take her!!!!

Excellent professor!!! Not only does she love what she does but she loves to help her students. I would go to her almost everyday and she would never say no to me. She helped me out so much and I'm so thankful. Nothing in this life is easy so for those who have negative things to say I'm sorry but get a life and work harder. Do take this professor

best chemistry prof.

She is a little disorganized, but it's not that bad. Overall she is a great teacher and a really nice understanding lady. You have to read the slides and go to class. I also read the book which helped. This is college take some responsibility for your own life. I don't think you are going to get a better professor.

This professor is an excellent teacher. Take her if you want to learn chemistry. Her tests are hard, but that prepares you well for standardized finals.

Great professor, tests are hard but you'll do fine if you study. She has an accent, but it's very easy to understand. She knows chemistry well and she's there if you have any questions.

Sambasivan is a great professor. If you aren't doing so well she'll help you out and try to give you every opportunity to do better. She knows that the tests are hard and she gives so much extra credit to help you. Her lectures are very informative and she doesn't put anything you haven't seen on the tests. I had her for two semesters,.

Prof. Sambasivan is really dedicated to her students. She works really hard to make sure that her students understand the material. Chem 2 was a bit tough, but she really did her best throughout the semester. A VERY lenient grader. Gave a lot of extra credit. She's really understanding. If you put in the time, you will pass.

Professor Sambasivan is one of the best instructors I've ever had had. She will always help you with anything in the course as long as you ask her. She is lenient, especially for the lab assignments as she will always guide you with them. She also gives out tons of extra credit, usually they are worth up to 10 points on each of the tests.

Great teacher and such a sweetheart! Wants you to do well. Gives lots of extra credit. TAKE HER!!!

Dr. S was BY FAR the best professor I have ever had! Very animated in lecture, TEACHES doesn't just read powerpoints. Very dedicated to her students. Went above and beyond to ensure we understood! Took it over the summer so it was fast paced-she even came in early to do extra review sessions!! 10 points extra credit online for every test! TAKE HER!

Tough material in general, but she is very fair. Gives plenty of chances to do extra credit and lab work. She is very passionate about chemistry and it comes through in her lectures.

I never understood Chemistry in HS. So I was super nervous about taking this class. I have to say that Dr S is wonderful - made a hard topic really interesting. The HW really helps prepare you for the tests and she drops your lowest lab. About 10pts extra credit available per test. Tests are hard, but an A is possible. Take her!

Dr. S is an amazing professor. I had to take the CHE sequence strictly out of requirement and didn't really enjoy CHE 133. However, because of Dr. S I was able to not only understand the material but enjoy it! She is always available and always goes above and beyond to motivate her students if YOU put in the effort. Take her, you won't regret it!

Dr. Sambasivan was fantastic! She gives a ton of extra credit. Show up to every class and lab, pay attention, study and an A is very possible. I took her during a summer session and it was VERY intense but I lived and breathed Chemistry for 5 weeks and got an A! She sets aside time to review before every test and stays after when needed.

she is a good teacher but not recommended for slow students because she is very fast. you have to move at a very fast pace as to catch up with the lectures. she cares about the students and have the willingness to help out. i recommend her.

Took her for Chem100, I'd say I was absolutely terrified after hearing how hard the subject is in general, but she teaches the easy way to help you and make sure you understand. Offers a lot of things to help raise your grade. She is so sweet, I highly recommend her probably one of my favorite professors I've ever had.

Really great professor, her organization can be lacking at times but other than that she really tries to help and make you understand the material (if you put in the effort). Her home works are purely there for practice and are graded very lightly. She also has tones of practice material on her black board.

she made it understandable by going over lots of problems step by step. she is very understanding and caring and is willing to do anything to make sure that you do well in the class. she is a little messy with her notes but has a lot of extra credit. tests are a little hard but if you focus in class and study a lot then you'll do fine.

Amazing professor. She is very passionate about teaching and will do everything to help you pass. Very impressed with how fast she gets back to you, even if you email her late at night. Lectures are long, but if you focus, she makes the material easy to learn. Tests are difficult, but she has many office hours, and the online homework helps a lot.

Amazing professor! Took her 5 week chem class & it was fun. She made chem understandable and managable. Previous reviews says she is unorganized and I completely disagree. All notes are available on her website. She goes over material step by step. She gives a lot of extra credit! Tests are just like prob in class. Easy A if you put the time

She cares about her students more than any other professor i have seen at Suffolk, she will delay a test if she feels the class is not ready, she will increase the amount of extra credit if the class did bad on an exam. If you do not do well in her class it is because you were not willing to put in the effort period.

She is probably the best teacher at suffolk and really knows her stuff! she is so incredibly sweet and is always ready to help you during class and after class. I went to her office hours a lot and it really helped. not a lot of homework but it's really good practice. dont buy the textbook! just study and practice and you will do fine! i love her

Most sweetest and understanding professor ever! She is so passionate about Chemistry and will do her best to help you pass her class. Also gives a lot of extra credit for your benefit and easy to get in touch with. She is very hardworking, I highly recommend her for any subject she teaches. You will definitely miss her after the semester is over.

I had the pleasure of having professor Sambasivan and may I say she is the best. Although the course itself is difficult, she really pushes you to get a good grade. Here some things to note: there are five tests and a final. The labs are straight forward so long as you pay attention, and she is accessible outside of class (ask for her office hours)

I was in Professor Sambasivan's General Chemistry "hybrid" course last semester. The course was both lecture and online based. As long as you attend class and stay on top of the reading you can do very well! She gives extra credit for every exam even the final and is very approachable for extra help. I received an A and highly recommend her!

Dr. Sambasivan is a very good professor, she enjoys what she does which in turn makes the students/me more engaged in the class. She does a good job explaining the topics in CHE 2 and is very helpful if you don't understand something. The course work is harder if you don't put in the hours of studying, but I would definitely recommend Dr. S.

Dr.S is a great professor if you are looking to pass chem 2. She gives extra credit assignments to help boost test scores. If the class does poorly she curves the test. Very fast to respond to email even in the odd hours of the night.

Do practice problems, over and over again... Practice, Practice, practice... Math/equation heavy. Do your extra credit for every chapter..

Sharadha Sambasivan is the best chem professor I ever studied with, she is so caring for their students. She helps you understand all the concept and skills which you needed to solve the chem problem. she also gives you a lot of extra credit to increased your overall grade, if you read her notes and solve her practice problem you will get A.

She was my chem-100 lab professor, she cares about her students. She explains everything clearly to do the lab. She also drops one of your low lab grade.

Prof Sambasivan is a great chem professor if you struggle with chemistry and want a good grade. she offers plenty of office hours and extra credit to bump up your grade. the tests and homework were pretty straight forward but she is more than willing to help. it was definitely a lot of work but it paid off in the end. would definitely recommend!

Professor Sambasivan was truly a light in the darkness that was remote learning, for me. She makes an effort to empower all of her students, and gives everyone a fair shot at an A in the course. As a woman, I felt extremely supported by her generosity in terms of second chances at low-graded or missing assignments.

Professor Sambasivan is one of the best professors you can take for an intro chem course. I took her for a 6-week summer session. She is so sweet and offers many extra credit opportunities that go toward your test grades. Make sure you participate and use the practice tests to study for exams, as there are a lot of concepts to memorize.

Professor Sambasivan was a great professor. She's like a school mom who does care for you, but knows when you can be doing better. She's honest and wants the best for her students. I was in a car accident that left me falling behind in a one month summer session, and Mrs Sambasivan let me make up my work and answered all my questions through email

The best chem professor! She makes learning chemistry easy and she gives a ton of extra credit. She also very caring and is alway willing to help her students. I would definitely recommend taking her class.

Chemistry is a difficult subject, and I think this Professor is the best one you could go for this level of chemistry. She can teach the concepts very thoroughly and goes through exam questions during the lecture which can make it easy to understand the application. She does prolong the class 5-10 minutes almost every class so be prepared for that.

Caring, smart and energetic. She brought a lot of fun and energy to lecture. She was an extremely fair grader dropping the lowest homework and lab assignment. She gave extra credit for every test which if you did all of it increased your total final grade by 5 points. Her accent is minimal. I only couldn't understand two words the whole semester.

Professor Sambasivan is such a kind and caring teacher and I don't think I could have had a better experience for this class! She might be slightly disorganized with online material but otherwise she is great! She dropped the lowest test grade and provided plenty of opportunities for extra credit - there's no excuse to not get an A in her class.

Professor Sambasivan was incredible and such a caring professor. I'm horrible at chemistry, and I think I only passed one test, but the extra credit and grade dropping helped me so much. She wants her students to pass, is available outside of class, and labs were fun too. I highly recommend her. Difficult material, but an awesome professor.

Dr. Sambasivan was a great professor. Chem 2 is NOT a simple class no matter where you take it. You have to work to earn an A. If you show up to lecture & put in sufficient effort, then you can succeed in this class. Practice makes perfect in this class go to office hours with questions She treats the class like family, she wants you to succeed.

I took chem 133 and 134 with her. She teaches well and cares. One thing thats admirable is that she really does want you to pass. There's extra credit for each test and your lowest quiz grade is dropped. Her class is mandatory tho and she will be upset if you miss even one class. Study hard and attend classes and you can easily get at least a B.

Chem 2 is the hardest subject I have ever taken. The only reason I passed was because of all the extra credit points she gives out. She is very caring and she wants to make sure you attend every lecture so you do not miss anything or fall behind.

I'm going to be honest, chem 2 isn't my strong suit and she will still allowing me to pass with a D and now I got to move forward with organic chemistry. I'm very grateful for everything that she has taught as she truly did want every single student to succeed. If I could take her again I would. But as advice just make sure your practicing a lot

She wants everyone to pass you just have to be willing to put in the work. She provides every opportunity for you to excel.

This is my second time taking Chem 2 and it is still just as hard. Dr. S is a very caring professor in a passive aggressive way. She will call you out if you don't attend class. She gives plenty of opportunity to excel though. I failed her first exam, was given extra credit and continued to pass with flying colors for the rest of the semester.

Professor Sambasivan is caring and wants students to succeed. While Chem 2 is challenging, her extra credit and grade dropping policies make it manageable. Attending class and practicing regularly are key. Unstuck study was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.

Honestly your grade reflects how much you're willing to put in effort into your class she is generous for a professor like for a example for hw she only takes off 1 point per day late and in my class she reopened hws like last 2 weeks of the semester and allowed up to 80% to those that didn't do it and allowes extra credit for exams max of 10 each

This was my first time taking a course at Farmingdale & my second time taking general chemistry 2. This professor breaks down difficult concepts with ease. I took her for the summer and she really does want everyone to succeed. If given the opportunity, take her!

Great professor!

I always have struggled with chem but she is so understanding and kind. Very available if you needed help and always responds to emails.
