(LAB) Very funny, lenient teacher that really helps you in understanding the material.

Good teacher, speaks very well, and loves to help students. Gives fair tests with no surprises.

I really liked how he taught the class. He's very accommodating to his students, and really tries to help his students pass.

accent is difficult, but he's so funny its worth it. just pay attention and he'll explain everything. he's not great at answering questions, but it will all be explained.

Very good

A hilarious guy. It might take a week to understand his strong accent but he makes the class really fun. He is very helpful in lab as well.

Dr. Ho is a very nice guy. He makes sure all the students in the class even tho its hard to understand him sometimes. He gives extra credit quizzes and on the test to make sure students can get good grades. Our final was similar to the old tests that we took.

very funny and helpful teacher. sometimes hard to understand but once you pay attention very good. better attend lectures b/c most of quizzes and tests come from lectures or quizzes. overall very good.

Never had him as lecturer, but GREAT lab professor. Makes things very clear and simple.

Funniest chemistry class I will ever have.

He let's you know what's expected of you. Make sure you Ace the quizzes and you should get an A. Read the chapters ahead of time.

good teacher & teaching skill..

he has pretty thick accent but he's class is so fun.....he gives so many examples that you don't have to take much notes and he makes sure that you get the material....i love ho!!!!!!!

I loved his lectures - the ones that I attended! He's funny and straightforward on tests and quizzes.

Absolutely hilarious lecturer, but the accent is a bit hard at times.

It's very hard to find a good chemistry teacher, but I would rate Mr. Ho above average. I actually don't mind going to class becuase he is so damn funny. You have to study because he really wants you to know the material. If you do well on the take home quizzes it will help your grade alot. Nice guy, just make sure you STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Dr. Ho!! He is the funniest chem teacher I've ever had. He teaches by example which is the best way to go. He does have a slight accent but you get used to it. I was scared of organic chem but he makes it so easy. Make sure you do well on the take home quizzes and ask questions in class if you don't understand what he's going over.

Mr. Ho is the coolest chem teacher out there!!! He uses analogies in his teaching that will make you crack up and understand the material at the same time. He's very helpful, but you have to study. Put in the time, and he'll make it worth it.

Dr. Ho is very nice and is hilarious! Very helpful. As good as it gets when it comes to Chem but don't forget, it is still Chem.

Dr. Thach Ho is by far the best Chemistry professor ever. There is nothing easy about chemistry so the class itself is hard; however, Dr. Ho explains the material well and is available for extra help. Take the take home quizzes seriously. They can make a huge difference in your grade.

Mr. Ho is one of the best chemistry professors that I've ever had at CUSLB. He's very nice, friendly, funny, alz cares about students and fairly easy. Moreover, he's always willing to help out students with homework, chemistry materials, and so on....However, if you wanna get a straight A in this class, you gotta study hard for it. Enjoy chemistry!

Yes, he's funny. Do everything to help students (especially extra help after class). Gotta use to his accent. I feel lucky becuz my class is easier than others. He's verry nice when he's happy, but I feel insulted sometimes when he's unhappy (or pisses off with something ???). Take his class if you study hard and want an A.

He is so funny and entertaining, although sometimes it is hard to understand when he explains problems. His tests are actually a bit hard, too many problems and not enough time. But he is fair and will give extra credit opportunities sometimes.

Great lab intructor, very helpful at office hours. His accent and his humor might cause problem for some people. He grades the lab reports with mercy, but his lab quizes are so brutal

funniest lab prof. i had so far. Other than the thick accent, he's so cool, he'll help you with all the labs and actually help you get through chemistry problems. He'll make funny jokes to help you remember stuff, and it works. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.

Dr. Ho, Excellent professor LOVED his class. Thick accent, but test were fair. Take him, but Study..

Nice guy, tough class. Get ready to study so you won't fall behind.

He has office hours so be prepared to visit so that you can get help with some difficult concepts. He is helpful-a nice guy- and he is funny as well so the class is entertaining but you really have to study study study...

Study hard for Dr. Ho's test. He is very good at making lab a good learning experience, but you must study. His lab lectures are a bit fast b/c there's not enough time for talking and experimenting, but he has a good brain for making funny metaphors that help you remember concepts. Many students get low grade bc they don't study and expect easy A.

The material he covers in lecture are not that hard. The quizzes are harder, and the study guides are even harder than that, and the actual tests are something you will not learn in lecture/cannot find in textbk (therefore it makes it a lot harder). The only way to learn is by going to his office hrs and ask questions.

This was a hard class, but he is an excellent teacher. I wish Prof. Ho could teach all my science classes! He is funny, relates life to the chemistry, always makes time to help, is encouraging, & cares if you care. He is great, compared to many teachers who are nightmares. So I pick carefully now. Just make sure you don't miss a class, and study!!

Prof Ho is a great professor. He made Organic Chem so much easy to understand. Highly Recommended.

He is an awesome lab instructor! He takes you through the labs calculation by calculation! He has an accent, but he definitely tries to make the class more tolerable!

Dr Ho is the best lab instructor I have had. Most chem lab instructors sit back and watch you do what is wrong, but Dr Ho will help you learn by showing the right thing to do. He gives lots of useful information that can be used to write lab reports. He has a short temper, but he also likes to make lots of jokes. Take him if you can. I got an A!

Professor Ho was very good. first chemistry class i have ever got an A in. very clear about what is on the test and good study guides

Very good chemistry professor overall. Has realistic expectations for his students in tests and homework. Entertaining and informative lectures. One negative might be that he gets behind from his syllabus which made him cram a lot of information right before tests.

had him for lab. you wouldnt suspect it, but he can be really funny sometimes. informative, but sometimes goes over the top too much. going to lab=easy points for overall class

very funny man with a wild sense of humor ! lol makes lab somewhat amusing but he is a strict grader on lab reports so i would recomend office hours.

I don't wish to say anything that may seem awkward to the reputation, but truly he does not respond to emails. Many have said good things though.

Loves to make jokes about Titration and all. Loves to throw in some joke related to Gangnam Style and basketball. Fun class although exams are way too long for the allotted time, but if you follow his way of solving problems in the lecture, you'll be fine.

He's funny & adorable! Has an accent, but not too bad to where you can't understand. He's really helpful when you ask! Sometimes, he'll even help perform some of the experiment if you need it. He grades generously (has given me points I don't deserve) and even let the class redo a lab report when a lot of people got (fairly given) low scores.

Dr Ho is a caring professor yet his lectures may get disorganized and confusing. but he tries his best to make ochem simpler by giving you "cheat sheets" on all the tests, dropping 2 out of the 7 quizzes, and making 75%B 85%A. The exams are not too hard but require some familiarity with the rxns/molecules. It took me "get the jist" of this class

His tests are way too long for the allotted time. He is also very hard to understand. Made his 1st exam exactly like the study guide, and the 2nd one was nothing like the study guide. Advice: read book and do homework. Grade is in lab [quizzes(homework problem) and lab reports]. Didn't attend class.

The best professor. I attended his class in cerritos. He makes u laugh alot.Go for him and u'll not regret him. His Tests are so easy!

Helped me a lot with my lab reports. Was always there when you need him

The best lab instructor! Even though it may be hard to understand him at times bc of his accent, he really tries to help if you ask questions. Just make sure you pay attention to what he writes on the board bc it's usually what he's looking for in your lab reports. He wants you to succeed!

Excellent Bio Course. Professor very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand key elements in his lectures "Know This". Highly recommend any of professor Ho's courses!

Mr. Ho is hilarious! I had him for lab and seminar and he was the best! He really wanted us to succeed and told us what he wanted for our labs. Seminar was great because he really wanted to make sure we understood the problems and pop quizzes.

Best lab professor I've had. He explains labs at the beginning of each new lab and gives you a quiz which is open notebook so make sure you're doing your pre-lab before. He uses funny analogies to help you understand and makes lab fun. He is always there to help you understand and set up if you are having trouble. Wish I was taking him for 223B.

sweetest professor ever! if you go to his office hours and talk to him he'll do his best to help you with your questions and explain it until you understand the material. one time, i missed class and showed up at his hours and he took his time to explain the material i missed out on. material is hard but don't give up! he will explain until u learn

Had him for both lab and seminar. His accent makes it difficult to make out his words sometimes. In both lab and seminar, he usually expects you to know what you're doing, go at a fast pace, or otherwise work it out with your friends. While he can sometimes be confusing, he is also genuinely understanding & can teach chem well. 5 bc he is hilarious

He is a good choice for a lab professor. If you need, he'll help you with the experiments along the way. The jokes that he makes in his lecture helps you remember things for lab. I think he's an easy grader for reports, but his quizzes are a little harder. Make sure you do the practice final that he gives out. Trust me, it helps A LOT.

I had him for orgchem lab. Hes very helpful and will guide you through the experiment unlike most lab instructors. Quizzes are hard so make sure you do the prelab, write down every detail into your note. During lectures hell tell you what questions he would put on the final. Write down what he put on the board to get full point for notebook check

Good lectures. Best chemistry professor I've had. Willing to help you out if you go to his office hours and he also gives good advise. 3 tests, a final, and no homework. There are also quizzes once in a while that cover textbook material rather well. I suggest reading the textbook before class to understand what he quickly goes over in lectures.

Professor Ho is great, his lectures are always funny. SI saves your grade. He made O CHEM doable. You will have to work, but it's not as scary as you've been told.

Professor Ho is the funniest professor Ive had. Id be dying of laughter every lecture. He gives great analogies so pay attention. Also I highly recommend SI.

He's such a down to earth guy and he really knows what he's talking about. He made chemistry more understandable by using simple terms and telling funny stories. He does get sidetracked every so often, but it's in ways that make the class more fun and interesting. He is willing to help you outside of class, though many didn't make the effort.

Really nice and helps you with lab and lenient on grading. He helps you understand challenging topics like NMR and IR and will help you pass the class. Compared to others, he's probably the best instructor for this class!

Professor Ho is very entertaining and funny during lecture, however he goes pretty fast while lecturing so it's hard to completely understand what he is teaching. The class can be confusing so I definitely reccommend S/I, without it I would have no idea whats going on in class and it helped my grade go from a B to an A. TAKE SI!!!

Wasn't as bad as expected. He does have a strong accent but I personally was able to understand him. He's nice and likes to tell stories of his family and past students. He also makes jokes to keep the students entertained. Seems like he really knows his chemistry. I would take him again, only if it's not Chem 140 :)

Dr. Ho is one of the most hilarious professors I've ever had. He explains stuff in the form of jokes way which actually helps to retain the concept. I have never had a better professor for the lab and I wish I had taken my lecture with him too. He is a bit scary at first but trusts me that's superficial. Choosing him is the best thing you could do.

Dr. Ho is one of the best Chemistry professors in the whole department ngl. Idk where the salty comments are coming from but he's a funny af old guy, with a very interesting way of teaching through his humor. Sometimes I'd die laughing while I'm going through the same concept again at home. He is the best out there, do yourself a favor AND TAKE HIM

Professor Ho is very sweet, but it took a while to comprehend his lectures as he uses a lot of metaphors and stories. Listen closely because he's trying to explain the concepts (most of the time). I recommend finding outside resources to supplement this course like Youtube, etc.

Good teacher super funny but you must attend class theres alot of information you need quizzes/exams are not easy and no HW.

When I asked for clarification he often solved the whole problem for me which helped showed me where I went wrong. He is very funny and super helpful! Do yourself a favor, when you have a question ask it, he will be happy to give you the answer! Make sure to pay attention, he tends to move fast. Thanks Mr. Ho, never thought I could like Ochem lab

I love Professor Ho. He's so funny and tries to make his lectures easy to understand. He does has an accent, but it's not thick enough to not understand. He is very helpful, but very blunt, so if you can't handle that don't take him. He doesn't really respond to his email, but everything is done in class so talk to him in class.

His explanations before labs are very helpful, he does a demonstration before you start. Although he can be quite blunt when you ask him questions, he usually either answers them or just does the lab for you. Definitely prepare for the quizzes by reading all the assigned materials.

bro is actually a GOATED lab instructor compared to the other ones. it's a shame that he's retiring but if he ever teaches again, you GOTTA take him. he's extremely funny and always helps out the students in lab. sometimes he does part of the procedure for you and will help you with the report questions if you ask. just take the prelabs seriously.

he's super nice and made 320 L easier than other professors. Got a B in the class but that's more of a skill issue on my part. he makes a lot of jokes to help you understand and will often end up doing the lab for you. great professor and will really miss him!

Prof Ho is a hilarious lab instructor who makes Ochem fun. He's super helpful and will even do parts of the procedure for you. Just take the prelabs seriously. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for prep too!
