Reviews (122)
shes very nice and she will give you the answers before the test. shes very helpful too
Not a favorite subject of mine, but made understandable by professor. Help is offered until you understand. Reviews are excellent. I would recommend this professor.
Mrs. Yasui is the best teacher, and her class is great. She really loves chemistry, and it comes through when she teaches.
The teacher is very helpful and makes chemistry an easy subject to understand.
Do not take yasui she does not teach, she does not know the material send you in the book when asking a question.never give back the reports you have no idea how you doing in class when asking how you doing about the class she always said everything is ok that's all and at the end of the class she give you a c never reply to you when you email her
CHM1045 LAB - She is nice. The Lab part is easy. You can turn in the lab work whenever. Test are online in Blackbook. The tests are REALLY hard and don't have a lot to do with the labs from class. This class takes way more time then a 1 credit class deserves.
I have no idea what these ppl are talking about..she is a nice lady but bad teacher... she is kinda sloppy writes all over the place.. and she always says that everything is very str8 forward but its not you seriously need the book to pass this class.
In this organic I lab, us students ran the class. She had no idea what was going on. She would tell one student one thing, and tell another student something completely opposite. It was very frustrating. I would recommend her only because she seems to be very lenient on grading, but she drives you effin crazy. Don't take her if you WANT to learn.
Excellent teacher, come to class, do your work and get A.
If you have taken chem before and know it at all you will be fine taking her. If you've never taken chem RUN AWAY!!! Horrible teaching style, very unclear and unprepared. Students often had to correct her mistakes. I taught myself the entire material. I got an A but only because I took chem before and she is an easy grader.
Great prof. A lot of fun during lab. and lecture. Online tests for quizzes, extremely helpful. Work hard and A grade is rewarded. I highhly recommend this prof.
I took her CHM 1045L with her and she was just fine.She is really helpfull.Online tests.i d recommend her
I am terrible with chemistry, I got an A in her class! She helped us out by giving us online quizzes and tests. The final was online. She is not so clear at times, but will help you!!
She is an easy professor as long as your interested. You have to do your work but she answers any and all questions and is there to help. Thankful I took her!!! Some complained of a language barrier but it was those who didn't do their work anyways. Give her a chance
Professor Yasui is a kind teacher; however, her teaching skills are not that great. If you understand Chemistry, then you can do well in her class; however, those that need that extra attention with the material and/or need everything worked out; don't take her! She is impatient when students ask for help. Not an easy A/B; you have to study a lot!
Worst teacher at BC. She teaches right from her notes but quizzes you on info from the book. Totally uninteresting. Just stands up front and writes on the noted without explaining. Prior to her class I had a 4.0 gpa but not no more thanks to her. Don't take her!!! Take either Perdian or Madea.
This is the worst professor I've ever had. She teaches straight from her notes, but her tests are nothing from the notes she taught. She doesn't explain things clearly, and you just end up getting frustrated when you ask her a question. It took her almost 3 weeks to put a test grade online. If you want to learn chemistry, take someone else.
After a full semester of this class I have come to two conclusions: 1st I know nothing more than the day I stepped into the class room 2nd I drive to class without a seat belt, hoping to die in a horrible car accident. This is to avoid the lecture period I am driving to.
I would rather die in a fire than ask this teacher for anymore help. If you're in her class, don't expect her to answer you without giving you a ton of attitude. She acts like she hates everyone for breathing!
A very helpful prof. Study her notes and do the quiz and you will get A. Home works are optional. Highly recommended.
I learned a lot from this prof. The tests are online so we have plenty of time to finish the lab. Help and answers are always given until you understand. I strongly recommend taking 1032 and 1031L from her.
Excellent prof., optional quizzes and homeworks. May drop one bad test grade if you asked. The first test I did not study and I got 82%!!! If I study her notes and do quiz and homework, I can get an easy A. Highly recommended.
The best chemistry teacher I ever have. She is very kind and funny. The review and question-answer before each test is excellent (cover most of the questions in that test). I took chemistry years ago and I hated it but now I love chemistry.
Easy A if you study her notes and do all the assignments. Lab CHM1032L has only online tests.
Wonderful teacher, got an A from her CHM1032L. Answer all your questions and very helpful with pre- and post- lab questions. Take her for both CHM 1032 and CHM1032L, you will be very happy.
I was glad I took chm1032 with her. I did all the assigned work and extra work and got an A. She curved the grades and tried to help students who were behind.
Prof. was very nice and tried to answer questions if you were unclear until you got it. I took CHM1045 with her and I'm in her CHM1046L. Highly recommend to take the chemistry class with her, you will not regret.
Great teacher, explain until you understand. I work hard to get A. Home work is given for every chapter and the grade for them are optional. I do like her system of grading (one bad grade may be drop)
Great teacher, funny and kind. Must work hard to earn good grade (A). Highly recommended for both CHM1032 lecture and CHM1032L.
She's very sweet and funny, very knowledgeable and helpful, she wants her students to succeed. I had her for both lecture and lab and I wholeheartdly recommend her
Took her CHM Lab. If you do not pass her class then something is wrong with YO. She is SUPER easy and goes over everything with you. She will explain whatever you do not understan. Tests are out of class and on-line. You will learn a lot and will help you to understand what you need to know in your lecture class. LOVE THIS TEACHER & is VERY SMART.
She drops the lowest grade. The text book is required and used greatly throughout the class. She is nice and willing to show you concepts, but is really confusing. I am a bright student with an amazing GPA. Chemistry is a hard subject but with her teaching abilities, it is hard to succeed. She knows her stuff but is not a meant to be a teacher.
Had her for lab. If you didn't understand what to do she's help you, or demonstrate to the class. Sh gives HW in the lab manual, but without it i'd probably not know what to do for lab. online quizzes so you can use your textbook and it's more helpful. Adorable personality, i wish i had her for lecture instead of betts-beware of him-!
nice easy down to earth teacher, but for lab, she will not teach you the subject you need to know, so if you don't have a good chem lecture teacher, you are kind of screwed. tests will be online, and the hw problems are never graded unless you have a specific question, you can ask her. and she answers but its not enough for her exams. exam hard
I took both chm1045 and chm1045L with Prof. Yasui. I got A for both classes. Very kind and willing to help students when asked. She drops one bad grades and a lot of extra points for each test. Take her classes, highly recommended.
Excellent Professor. She answered all my questions and more. She is very bright and willing to spend more time with all her students. I am glad I took this class from her.
Very kind and want students to succeed. I don't like chemistry but she is a big help. Take her, wonderful prof.
Love this professor. Very humble and willing to answer all questions until we understand. Quizzes and home works are online and some are optional. Take her, wonderful teacher.
Easy A. she curves tests. she also drops one test. one of her 4 tests is done open book. her last test is done online. I paired with other peers and we made a wonderful job that day.
Best prof., I repeat the class this summer and get good grade. She understands and explains very well all your questions. Take her if you want good grade. Take her lab too if there is room!!!
She offers so much opportunities to help her students succeed. We had six tests including the final exam. Of those six tests, she would dropped the lowest grade INCLUDING the final example. With that being said, the final exam was OPTIONAL. If you end up with a B+ and completed all of her homework, she would cheerfully boosts your grade up to an A.
I have so much fun in this lab and my grade is an A. Professor explains the chemistry involves with the work very well. She cares so much for the students and wants everybody to succeed. Love this professor.
Love this professor. She truly know chemistry and it shows when she explains to the class all the confused issues. She does care about her students and sometimes adds her old experiences in her careers to explains theory in chemistry. Optional quizzes and home works but if you do those she will give you extra points. Very fair and very smart.
Love this professor. Very kind and always smile when we asked for help. Take her if you want to learn chemistry and earn an excellent grades. I got an A for this class.
Took her class in winter semester. Very clear, and very helpful. Quizzes and homework are online. She was very prompt in answering any questions online. I was very impressed with knowledge and her style of delivering chemistry to students. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!. You will learn a lot of chemistry and she is very fair.
She is very nice. Teaches in power points and homework and online quizzes are extra credit. At first she's easy but as time passes is hard and doesn't do well at explaining she's more worried about letting you go home. I have an A so far but I've had to do hours of work and get a tutor just to pass. If your not good at Chem don't take her.
Excellent prof and very helpful as well. She does care about her students and will bending over backward to help. Strongly recommend for both lecture and Lab.
Very Strict Professor. I wore flip flops to the lab. and she politely asked me to change my shoes or not working in the lab on that day. Her tests are online so it won't interfere with the lab work on that day. Very organized and give helps if asked.
Need to ask questions otherwise she assumes you know. Tests and quizzes and homeworks are online. I enjoy this class and learn a lot of chemistry.
Very kind and very understanding about students' hardships. She gave 6 tests and you can drop one bad grade. She only total 5 tests. Quizzes and chapters' assignments are online and if you do them all she will add extra points to your total. I do like her system. Even though I do not like chemistry, she is very helpful and very accommodate too.
Excellent professor. Give help to students when asked and she is very prompt return your email. I will recommend this professor who wants to learn chemistry and get good grade if you work hard.
Professor always explain how to work the problems and she always says that there is no stupid questions and encourage students to participate in the class. Some of her tests are online so for those who work can do it from home or office. I highly recommend this professor.
Best chemistry teacher I ever have. She is very funny and always tie her experiences to the materials. She gave quizzes and assignment in D2L and they are optional for extra credits. I highly recommend this professor if you want good grade and understand chemistry.
Nice prof. She does care about her students. Always asks if we understand the content. She gives us 4 tests and one final. She will let us drop one bad grad. She explains very well on all the contents. Take her!!!
I am grateful and glad that I have the professor. I have failed this class before and this is my 2nd time taking this class. She explains the concepts very well and let us drop one bad test. take her if the class is not already full.
Very nice and very understanding about students difficulties in doing well in the class. She will explain it over or has a student come in front to explain. She will drop one bad grade from the total. take her class!!!
She makes the class interesting and I have so much fun in this class. She will show all the calculations and explains them to us individually or on the board. Very patience and very helpful. I give her an A as a professor.
Great prof.. very understanding and care deeply for her students.
Very organized. Follows her syllabus and the test days are fixed from the beginning so there is no confusion. Her lecture is very clear and welcome all questions. One bad grade is dropped from all 6 tests. Highly recommend this professor.
Love love love LOVE this professor! You will not regret taking her!!!!!!
This professor is one of the best professor I have had. Many told me Chemistry is very hard, but with this professor you will understand what Chemistry is all about. She explains clearly and if you dont understand she will help you understand. Very helpful, very nice, and funny. You still have to do your part in studying! You wont regret it.
She is so intelligent and fun! You need to go to class in order to pass and understand. If you pay attention you will pass and receive an easy A!
Who ever heard of chemistry being fun and easy? I have when I took this professor. She makes sure you pass and obtain the grade you desire in her class. She provided test and quizzes for you to take as extra credit and practice. So that way once the real test are given you know exactly what you're doing. Excellent teacher!!!!
She saved my GPA. I took the lab with her and passed with an A and I had the lecture with another prof and failed but I found out she taught the lecture as well and I passed. She will help you all the time. Before or after class, she will sit down with you and teach you whatever you don't understand.
She is a great teacher. she understands chemistry is hard to learn and tries her best to work with you . she offers you extra credit and does a review before every test. Sometimes you have to harass her so she can unlock the online quizzes for extra credit but over all this is a class that you can pass as long as you put some effort
Overall professor Yasui was a great professor, i hated chemistry but once i took her class i was passing all my test. she gives study reviews for all the tests including exams, there's only four tests. this is also an online class. she can go off task and be forgetful sometimes. But i passed with an A, good luck (:
she is sometimes confusing- goes off track but finds her way back. she gives reviews for exams and offers extra credit for doing things that will help you retain the information. she will only cover the main ideas- be ready to use youtube for explanations on some things. she's a really nice lady though- playful and sweet.
do not take her for chemistry. She does not want to help the students. she is inconsistent with everything from the time class starts to the grading system.
Took her for lecture and lab, it was her first year at PBSC. For lecture theirs 5 tests and she drops the lowest grade. Quizzes and HW are optional and for extra credit. She put some the quizzes and some tests online so that was easy. Also for the final she let us use our notes. For lab just show up their was no tests or anything just experiments.
If you have to take Chemistry, Professor Yasui is the best. She cares about her students, she knows it's a tough subject and helps students as much as she can. I took her accelerated class for the last session of summer. She emails a review before every exam, tons of extra credit. So what she has an accent, it's not an issue
She's the worst worst worst professor at BC stay away of her if you need to learn and pass your class.
She didn't keep her word with helping you with extra credit. She also never graded final exam or gave points for the quizzes online. I would not recommend her
I don't like her because she does not keeps her words concerning extra credits, and she never grades her d2l homework,. I don't recommend her because you can never know where you stand with her.
Terrible professor she hasn't grade finals and has not grade quizzes taken in D2L. What she tells you in class is not true!! Reviews are not consistent with test !! Don't bother doing quizzes in D2L or extra assignment because she doesn't give you extra credit like she said she would !! I am very disappoint . I formal complaint should be filed !!
IF YOU CANT TEACH YOURSELF YOU WILL NOT PASS. super sweet lady but terrible teacher. she rambles a lot and doesn't explain any problems she's doing step by step. Her tests are manageable but again, You have to teach yourself. she offers plenty of extra credit opportunities and you can drop your lowest test grade.
She gives extra credits and very understanding about students' hardship. My daughter was ill on one of the test day and she let me made up the test. She explains very well and use a lot of analogies so the material stick to our memories. She drops one lowest grade and that is very helpful to many students. Love this professor.
Chm1046 is very difficult but she offers so many extra credits and she offers reviews before each test. She will drop one lowest grade from final average. You have to do your study in order to get good grade.
Professor Yasui is the best. She's a kind lady who can sometimes ramble and go too fast but if the class doesn't get it she'll laugh and say "ok, lets try again!" and go slower and from a different approach and really makes you understand it using real ife situations. She gives plenty of extra credit & drops your lower test grade (final optional)
I barely did any of the lab q's &I got an A for the lab. For the lecture, she gives a lot of extra credit + drops the lowest grade.. if you have a 75, she'll give you a B, if you have an 85, youll get an A etc.. I had a 65 & somehow she gave me a B. she's so sweet & understanding& said she understands its a hard class & doesnt want to fail us!
Gives a review before every exam and also reviews that same review right before the test! very sweet, caring & understanding! The bad reviews make me sad because she truly does care about her students and their success! she understands the material is hard & will help you if you just ask. she gives extra credit quizzes and EC work! take her!!!
Took her for organic lab 2 My gpa is a 3.9 but in her lab had to withdraw with a 64 average. gave all 3 labs back all graded at once so no room to improve. took hefty point off for minor issues. when asked for help she said go see the SI
She is great! If you come to class do your labs and the exams you can pass. She will answer any questions you have and is hilarious. She can ramble a bit but I'd rather that then a stone cold professor. I definitely recommend her!
I definitely recommend taking Professor Yasui for Chemistry Lab! She's great! Go to class and do your labs, and you'll easily pass. The content isn't complex. And, if you have any questions, she's more than willing to help you out!
She doesnt put much effort into the lab. You walk in, do the lab, and leave. Theres no lecture or explanation of whats going on. She does help if you ask. The book is really bad this time as well, and offers very little explanation or formulas. The lab never took more than 2 hours. No final, drops lowest report grade.
Easy A!!! As long as you do all of the work, it's impossible to not do well. "Practicals" are not hard. You have to do a pre lab and post lab which take up the most time. Labs only take an hour or two max. Usually they are short as long as you know what you are doing. Definitely take her if you can.
Prof Yasui gives ample extra credit with each exam and is more than happy to explain a concept before and after class if you're struggling. She is extremely intelligent but sometimes is hard to understand due to her accent & being soft spoken. She drops your lowest test grade & will accept extra credit late. She really wants you to succeed
She is funny. She cares about her students doing well and very understanding love her and her class was fun
if you really want to understand chemistry, don't take her, shes really bad at explaining the concept and talks to herself and writes on the board its an easy A class but its just frustrating trying to understand her
She is very nice! It was an easy class.
Yasui is the BEST PROFESSOR EVER. I took her for Chem 1 AND Chem 2 lab, and I got an A both semesters. Just do the pre-labs and post-labs, and you will be completely fine. She tells you exactly whats going to be on midterm and final practical exams, I always got 100% on them. She really wants her students to succeed. Shes very helpful!
She is a great professor and she really cares about her students. Chemistry is tough but she made the class super easy. Show up to class, do your labs and youre golden!
Professor Sritana is definitely different. Her labs are pretty work heavy and requires a good amount of writing but as long as you follow her formats and do all the work theres no reason to not pass the class with good grades. Also her practicals are also really easy and shes always there to help you out
She truly wants her students to be successful. She gives a lot of opportunities for students to get a good grade in her class and is willing to help! You need to take the responsibility upon yourself to read the lab manual and follow the procedure. Shes available as a resource, but no reason for a college student to be spoon fed the info!
I loved CHM lab! Though Prof Yasui does not really explain labs in depth, she helps you with anything you need and wants you to be successful. Some times she would get upset if we asked too many questions, but don't let that stop you. She will laugh about it and still explain the questions well.
Great overall
13 Sections she uses Knewton, 2 tries on quizzes ( same questions) 13 quizzes, she reminds you when class work is due and push the date back if everyone did not complete it. 2 discussion and 2 assignments lowest grade gets dropped in each section. Id definitely take her again. 5 Exams 2 proctored & 3 not proctored questions come from Knewton quiz
This professor was my least favorite this semester. She would talk about random things like Beyoncé or Football during our lectures, and whenever someone asked a question she would sometimes respond rudely. If you're a student who wants to learn about chemistry, this is not the professor for you.
She gave study guide before each exam and will drop one lowest exam grade. Great professor, I learned plenty about chemistry from this class.
If you want to learn about chemistry, this professor is not a good choice. I'm sure she's a great Chemist, but when it comes to teaching chemistry she can't really explain the concept. She takes forever to answer emails and she's a bit disorganized.
Currently taking her; I can say she is all over the place. Too late to drop. Her syllabus is unclear with no assignments or due dates and her directions are nonexistent. She can come off as quite brash, you ask a question, she responds "you need to study" therefore do not ask questions. Very disappointed as the reviews now seem very misleading.
Im currently taking her class and I can say that these reviews are honestly misleading. Im sure she means very well and Im sure shes a good chemist. But her teaching is horrendous. She doesnt know how to explain herself properly, and she has 4 proctored exams. Beware taking this class especially if your majoring in chemistry!
Listen. I wish I read these reviews more carefully because she is the worst teacher I've come across. She doesn't answer your emails. I was one of the main students that would ask questions during lecture and all she can say was to add it to my "cheat sheet". She gets upset when you can't understand and tells you to study. DO NOT TAKE HER
Be sure to find a better professor, cuz honestly she isn't the best teacher since she goes pretty fast and does wind up ending class early, so you won't really learn very much. Class is her speeding through while homework and tests are videos then Q/A.
I have her both lecture and lab. The lab is great, she gave all the answers for any challenging questions. She will drop the lowest exam grade and she gives plenty of extra credits.
The worst professor I ever had. The quizzes and test are graded by the computer but it doesnt give you a clear grade because she needs to fix it but never did. You will get time to take exams and quizzes but you wont know if you pass or fail. I still dont know what my grade is in the class. Find a better professor cuz Ive learnt nothing.
She is very generous with late assignments and give a lot of extra credits. She gave 2 attempts for exams.
This has been my favorite college professor. I learned so much with her and actually looked forward to attending her class. Professor Yasui was always respectful, patient, honest, and friendly. When I didn't understand a concept, she would break it down to Layman's terms, without dumbing it down. There's no failing her class if you put effort in.
Very knowledgeable concerning the subject however a very poor teacher. My entire class bonded over the fact we had to go home and re-teach ourselves the material after class. There are 4 proctored exams (4ch. each) and good extra credit opportunities. There are also practice quizzes but they will not tell you the correct answer.
I would recommend to anyone struggling to pass Chemistry. She makes it clear and gives quizzes. Take her anytime
I should have listened to the other reviews. SHE DOES NOT TEACH. Her class is all over the place & reviewing material for the tests is all over the place. I am not learning. Do not take her is you need someone that actually teaches for real and has structure to their class
This is one of the best Professor at North. She breaks down chemistry so easy that anyone will pass her class. This class was 100% online. Weekly quizzes and discussions. If you do the assignment, you will get an easy A. I will take her again
I would not recommend this professor to anyone if you wanted to pass with a high grade.
Very good professor, but she take forever to answer emails. Get ready to do Aleks, and you have 2 attempts for each exam . Would take again
She is pretty amazing! Long as you do the lab reports correctly you will pass the class with an A. She gives multiple chance to correct your mistake and she is very helpful.
This prof has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, you'll learn a lot. Definitely use resources like Unstuck ai, ChatGPT, and the free textbook to supplement the lectures. Just stay focused and you'll do well in this class.
Very difficult class and fast paced. But an understanding professor, she gave us an extra shot on the second exam because the class was having trouble with the concepts. Aleks is brutal, but she kept hw and module open all semester until day before grades due, so you had ample time to complete it and get 100% Go to ASC for help! Must work hard.
I had her for both lab and lecture, both classes were easy. Assignments for lecture were through Aleks and they were open until the semester ended. For all tests we had to take we had multiple attempts. The ASC was the biggest help ever when I was stuck on a certain assignment. She rarely used the textbook, but we did take notes.
literally does not teach. entire class on aleks but even aleks is hard to navigate. she just mumbles at a whiteboard for an hour and her accent is heavy. literally learned nothing and i wasnt the only one that failed the class. i got an A in a&p the same semseter, im a good student, shes just a horrible professor.
She was kinda nice and pretty funny, but she had an accent that was difficult to understand sometimes. She teaches really fast, my class ended 2 months early because of how fast she was teaching. She also didn't really take questions during the lectures. A lot of the time, I had to go home and reteach myself everything.
Took prof Yasui for lecture and lab. Easy A! Her lectures are not the most organized and could definitely be a skip but everything is online using aleks. Not that difficult if you watch the videos provided on aleks and looking up the unit on youtube is super helpful too. Her labs are very simple and I was always done early. Take!
sweet teacher with a good sense of humor. The class lectures weren't very helpful, attendance not mandatory. Entire workload on aleks and was manageable when watching YouTube videos. Basically a self-taught course but all tests were based off homework w multiple attempts. Work open entire semester. Lab was an easy A and always ended 2 hours early
The lecture for this course is on the online platform "aleks". Including exams, and homeworks. They are tedious which is why I received a C in the class because I waited until the last minute to try and complete some of the assignments. It's all self paced. Prof Yasui is nice though pay attention and stay on top of the work and you will pass!
