i ADORE this man. he is so caring about his students and although the subject matter may be somewhat difficult, he does his best to help you get through it. he's fair with his grading but it definately helps to let him know that you are struggling and trying. he loves enthusiasm. and he's just nice!
The greatest chemistry teacher you'll ever have. He goes at your speed if you don't understand, and he helps you with problems if you see him anywhere on campus. You'll have to study on your own, and his tests are straighforward. He doesn't try to trick you, but merely challenges you to learn.
Hes really funny! i liked him and wish that he taught general chemistry! GO T.CHAN!
Mr. Chan is sOo ADORABLE!! He's so nice and softspoken but VERY SMART and VERY FUNNY. If you have a question, he'll explain it to you until you get it. He relates real life situations with chemicals and bonding. Like the time he related hydrogen peroxide with a Korean guy's poorly bleached hair in the class...
First of all, one important thing : He really cares about his students. Always willing to help and gives out many examples for students to understand the material clearly. Tests are fairly easy if you read the textbook. TAKE HIM!
He is a great teacher! Cares about his students and explains everything clealy. Definitely a good choice to take for Chem 107, I just wish he would teach upper levels as well.
Professor Chan teach very well, vary care about his students, never see any teacher like him, he is vary nice, take him. This class is easy and very interesting, and I'm a high school student, (I think you might like to know that.)
He probably one of the most patient teachers I have ever had in my entire life. He didn't seem to mind repeating himself over and over. I felt like I was back in high school. It's an easy A as long as you do all the suggested homework problems.
I had personal issues come up and he gave me an incomplete instead of failing me. He is incredibly caring and helpful, and will work to help everyone in his classes succeed. Plus he knows his stuff and actually teaches so you'll learn too. Take him if you
Mr. Chan is one of the best teachers at Fullerton. He is very funny, very helpful, and doesn't expect you to understand everything right away. If a student is struggling with something he will help until they understand.
Damm if he only taught higher levels of chem. This teacher is hands down the best teacher out there. If you don't sleep, do the hw he gives, you WILL GET AN A. Respect him and you will be respected. Tests are straight forward, no curve-balls. Keeps you accountable with frequent but very easy quizzes.
He, at times, appears nervous when lecturing. He is sooooo easy. I put in an hour a week in the class and have an A. He is very helpful and very patient. If your taking chem 107 take him. You won't regret it.
Outstanding teacher. Communitcates the material very well, and is extremely helpful. He is a really nice person and cares about what he does. I highly recommend him and really enjoyed taking his class.
He is the nicest and most caring teacher that I have ever met! His tests are not difficult as long as you study the things he mentions he says will be on the exam. Take Professor Chan, you'll be glad you did.
GReatest Teacher ever! He is so helpful and so caring about your grades. He is very funny, but you couldn't tell because he seems very shy. It can be a hard class if you don't study. Keep up with all the work and it will pay off in the end!
He's a newer Professor but he is really doing well. He is so helpful and will meet or set up groups to meet and he'll open doors to let you into rooms even when he's gotta be somewhere else. I loved taking his class I wish I had to take another one he was teaching. I'd take it in a heartbeat with him!
GREAT PROF!! If you have a chance to take him, DO! It's an easy A if you just show up and pay attention. Took him during summer school. Exam once a week, and daily quizzes, but he tells you exactly what will be on each. No extra credit in his class, but listen to lectures and it's a sure thing!
Excellent Teacher, Very Helpful, Always Available, TAKE HIM!!!!
Great teacher!!! Daily quizzes keep you on your feet but it is a great way to keep you from lagging. He gives lots of extra credit and even drops your lowest exam score! Take him for CHEM 101! You won't regret it!
He really tries to help you make sense of everything. He's a little boring and monotone, but he explains things very well and lets you know what exact topics are on tests, which is super helpful.
He is the best chem teacher. He doesn't try to be funny but everythin that comes out from him is so so funny.. He explains well in class.. You won't regret if u take him
cant say enough about this guy. excellent teacher and very funny. Hes a Bears fan too.
AWESOME!!! Mr. Chan is the best chem teacher in FJC. He's teaching style is interesting, direct, and patient. Even for those not great in chem, a little hard work goes a long way. His helpfulness and caring is amazing, and he takes a personal interest in all his students.
Great teacher, loves the material.. Best Chem professor i have EVER had. cares about making you succeed.
very boring but easy teacher, nice, easy A
Best teacher ever. Very helpful. Class was actually fun.Take him, you won't regret it.
great teacher....love u mr. chan!
i love mr chan he actually made a hard class fun you need to show up every day for the free 10 point quizes but they are super easy
Honestly, you won't get a better and easier Chem teacher than Mr. Chan. You do have to work hard but it IS a chem class, but I've had other chem teachers and he's the best so far!
Took him in Fall '07. His lecture helps a lot for you to understand. I did have to do my part and do hw, attend class, and study. I would study all day before the test and I would get 80's T^T, but he gave me a B in the class, so he's really nice! GET 10'S ON UR QUIZZES cuz its worth 100pts in the sem!! Quizzes help a lot if you are borderline!!
i took him last year and i loved it! i liked how he was VERY helpful. just do your work, study and you will do great! i thought i would get a c in the class but ended up with a B and i was super happy
he is the most adorable teacher ive ever had! he is so sweet, and actually cares for you to do better and tries to help you as much as he can! i am in love with mr. chan! hes the best!
This guy is one of the funniest/nicest professor at fjc. He actually cares about his students and tries to get to know everyone. His jokes are a lil lame but that makes it even more funny. Hes fairly easy as long as you show up to class, do your hw, turn in the labs, which will probably get you a B.
He is the best chemistry teacher ever! I love Mr. Chan. There is no better teacher at FC.
I LOVE PROFESSOR CHAN!!! he is so adorable. I took CHEM 101 with lab in the summer and I will never do a science class in the summer every again. Quiz everyday and tests every week. I did not sleep at all for a month because i had to work as well but earned an A. He cares for for his students and did i mention.. he is so CUTE!!<3
The best chemistry teacher ever! He has some great jokes and a dry sense of humor which is the best!! everyone taking chemistry should take this teacher. Very helpful and truly cares about each individual student
pretty chill teacher.
Chemistry in itself is NOT an easy subject. Professor Chan makes it easy to understand and if you have questions is extremely helpful. This is not a class if you want to do no work in. 5 unit workload, studying is required.
He is Ok teacher. Teaches very slowly at a very low pace. Probably, he is better for Chem 101 for the students who do not have to take any more chemistry class. He skippes difficults parts of the books and makes it easy for the students. This helps students geeting good grades and he gets good rating. Not good if you have to take Chem 111A and 111B
He's awesome! Hands down one of the most helpful professors out there!! Really cares about the students. I wish he taught 201!!!
YOU USUALLY EITHER GET A PROF WHO IS EASY & DOESN'T CARE OR ONE WHO CARES BUT IS EXTREMELY HARD. THIS IS AN EASY CLASS, AS LONG AS YOU TRY AND PROF CHAN CARES SO MUCH! HE'S SO SWEET AND HE NOTICES WHEN YOU'VE BEEN SLACKING OR IF YOU'RE SICK. HE'LL GO OVER STUFF UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. 4 TESTS, 1 FINAL. DAILY QUIZZES, LOWEST ONE GETS DROPPED.
The homework is terrible! It is online and most of the times we don't go over what is on the homework and you can't find the answers in the book. He gives you study guides before the tests but sometimes you can't find what he listed in the book or in your notes. Lectures are fast, if you need extra help you have to schedule time outside of class.
Mr. Chan was such a helpful teacher!If u don't get stuck he'll go over it until you get it.Throws out couple of funny jokes to get u interested in chem.Highly recommend him for chem 107!There were 23-24 quizzes in total throughout the sem.;4 tests,lab final,and class final (u can drop lowest quiz & test score).Got an A.
Most amazing teacher ever! i love this guy! hes so adorable and helpful! he really likes to get to know his students and helps you out so much. he does whatever he can to make sure you understand the topic. daily quizes, 4 tests, lab. attendance is mandatory. i did all the homework and got b and cs on the test and still passed with a high B. AMAZIN
Thanks mr. Chan! The best professor I've had a fullerton. Nice, Caring, helpful. Made me actually think about switching to chem major by the time I was done and I really wasn't looking forward to taking this class even though i'm a bio major. Overall I highly recommend him to anyone science major or not. Plenty of chances to get a good grade! :)
Very helpful. Just ask questions. Perfect clarity on all topics. you will enjoy chemistry even if you are not a science geek.
He is such a good teacher! He'll show you how to do a problem over and over again if he needed to, to help you understand. =D Very nice! Online HW is a killer but it helps A LOT with understanding the material. I took him in the summer and it was pretty fun. =)
Prof. Chan is an excellent teacher. He has very clear and concise lectures and uses the book more than any other teacher I have had. He is willing to help you with any problems and has a very intelligent sense of humor. Flash cards seem to be the best way to earn a good grade. I wish I could have Prof. Chan for all my classes.
Genuinely cares, tries to make subject interesting. Quizzes help you understand concept and boost grade. Drops lowest test, has a study guide. Lectures are understandable. Very approachable, very helpful. Made learning subject manageable. HW not required, but if grade is borderline, doing the HW will bump you to next grade. One of the best profs!
Great Professor. He was extremely helpful and created a good learning environment. Has to be one of the best Profs @ Fullerton College-he lacks the arrogance of his position and realizes he's there for the students!
Good professor cares about his students
He is an amazing instructor. Very helpful and a great sense of humor. He gives you alot of practice worksheets, and online homework. If you want to get an A you have to work hard for it. Do all of the online homework it is extremely helpful when taking the tests. Preread chapters prior to class and then reread again, do the problems in the chapter.
It's not hard to get an A in this class if you do all of the work and actually put in some extra time to study. Chan is also extremely helpful and unlike most professors, he takes the time to get to know all of his students. I definitely recommend taking him for Chem 107.
There is a lot of online homework not hard but tedious. there are about 4 tests, 1 unit exam, and a final. There is a quiz almost everyday about 3 questions from the prior lesson which he gives sample problems for that are exactly whats going to be on the quiz. He is a very clear teacher and his notes are better than the books.
Im taking this class during this summer. serious no life. i wish i had taken him during the semister it would be less stressful. however its duable probably the easiest science classes for prereq for nursing. Have to study for sure to earn a good grade. never miss class. summer class is so hectic. beware.
OK professor, Makes class very easy. But it does not feel like you are in college.I remmeber even high school was harder than this.
Chan is the best!! really funny and makes chemistry fun! definitely recommend!
He's a very good professor. He helps students a lot with everything. He teaches very clear and his exams are easy if you study your notes. He's very nice and always have a smile on his face. Take him, it's my word.
He's a wonderfully patient professor that will do whatever he can to help you do well in the class. That being said, this class is a lot of work and no matter how much he helps, you have to keep up with the work. Online homework is a pain in the a**
Mr.Chan is a great Professor,I really liked him. Chemistry with him is fun. He teaches very well, and you'll understand whats he teaching.U can always ask him, email him if you have some problems.He is a very good teacher for 107.I didnt get an A because i didnt put too much effort to the class. To get an A of course, study a lot. Chem is hard

GREAT TEACHER! TAKE HIM. BUT IF YOU DONT LIKE TO WORK, DO HOMEWORKS AND STUDY, DO NOT TAKE HIM. CHEM IS A LOT OF WORK. HE TEACHES WELL AND EVERYTHING.
EXCELLENT TEACHER! It is evident that this man knows what he is teaching and enjoys it. He is kind, funny, helpful and knowledgable. I would recommend this teacher to all students, science majors or otherwise. He conducts the class like it is a family persuing some shared interest. No regrets other than the fact that he doen't teach CHEM 111
Mixed feelings about my experience with Chan.The entire semester was on track to receive an A, but the 7 day a week online homework screwed me,dropped me to an 87.Then came time for the final.Studied everything except Sp K and Eq problems.Guess what the last 25 problems were? His lecture was all over the place.His handouts were helpful.TakeDadson
Chan is awsome, one of the nicest teachers ive had sofar. Ive heard from others that the class was somewhat difficult, but if u stay on top of the homework and put a few hours a week into studying, you will get an A.
He's a very difficult prof.He explains the material clearly, but you still have to study a lot. lots of hw especially online hw.If your grade is an A until the last couple of weeks,guess what? You won't end up getting an A at last,cuz Chan somehow changes his style,so your grade changes completely.
Chan is an excellent chem 101 professor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CLASS. put in the effort and high grades will follow YOU CAN'T TAKE TWO SCIENCES IN ONE SEMESTER! UNLESS YOU DONT HAVE A LIFE.. I MEAN AT ALL! take chem as the only science with a lab in one semester and you will excel with CHAN :)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this teacher for chem101. Class is organized and his lectures are easy to understand. If you are strong in math this class can be easy, if not, my best tip is to make sure you keep up with the online homework. Some questions on there will appear on the test and you can go back rework the problems for practice. Awesome teacher!
Very passionate and helpful, he's a really great guy and a fantastic professor. His lectures are crystal clear and went by VERY quickly despite the length (lab is short, unlike other chems, very fast-paced). Additionally, he gives you everything you need to pass the class with an A, just make sure to do the online homework and to attend lab.
Was scared to take chem101 but Chan helped a lot, he wants everyone to pass! He is always willing to help you in anyway to make sure you are getting the material. Be sure to study and read the book. His tests can be hard, yes you need the book and read it because he will test you on stuff that he didn't teach, it is only in the book. good luck!!!!!
Chan is the man! He is seriously one of the most helpful professors I've ever had. He loves his job and his enthusiasm makes you love his class. You have to put in alot of effort and study heavily for this course. Take him! His class will help you change your study habits for all of your classes. You won't regret it! #Chan2016 #2CHANZ
One of the best professors I've had. I got a D in chem when I took it in High school, but Chan made the class interesting and easier to follow. Its a tough five unit class, but putting in the time makes a difference. Chan is good about responding via email and helping you during office hours. I got an A.
Great chem teacher not easy but he is so helpful he cares about his students and wants them to pass. Very outgoing and jokes around every now and then. He preps you for each exam. He's not easy but if you put in the work and study study study you can pass the course. Definetly recommend him :)
Chan's lectures have been extremely clear and informative, well-organized, and even fun! His class has made me love chemistry. He is a fantastic teacher. Really clear and understanding. Very helpful and funny.
He is very helpful but the labs just move waaay too fast. I can't imagine if I would have gotten to the point of using chemicals in that lab trying to run around and finish on time. Maybe if I took this class alone? Very disappointing because i can't take micro or physio without this course so i'll be behind for nursing. :(
His system and lectures are very organized and clear as you keep in pace diligently doing ALL worksheets and assignments and studying what he teaches in lecture diligently, you will get an A. Isn't the easiest subject but he makes it very student friendly to follow. Funny, caring, guy, genuinely interested in students lives. Best professor I had.
Hands down my favorite Professor ever! He's such a genuine guy and just really wants all of his students to succeed. This class is tough so expect to study everyday for at least an hour. There is daily homework which can be a drag but in the long run it really just prepares you for the quizzes and exams. Definitely recommend him!! Awesome dude!
Professor Chan is one awesome professor. His lectures are very concise and organized. He made chem really enjoyable through the summer course. Studying is a huge must for this class, he always suggests to make study groups. Any problems w/ hw just email him. Gives out plenty of worksheets to help you. I recommend taking him for Chemistry (:
If he teaches it, take him. You won't regret it. He is overall a great professor and human being, much more than you would expect. Not a chem lover? You might just change your mind after a semester with Professor Chan!
Mr. Chan is the best Chem Teacher, if your taking Chem Take his class!!!! He has quizzes at the start of each class and literally gives his is a hard subject, but Mr. Chan makes things very clear and understandable. I have never had a day of chemistry before in my life, I passed with an A. Don't just show up read the book along with lecture.
I took his summer class. He is very funny and loves chemistry. Honestly the only downside would be that he gives online homework for every day of the week!! And the points really add up. The homework is tricky too, since it isn't his actual work, it's a programs. But if you listen to his lectures and study the book, his tests are very doable
Prof. Chan is one of the best professors I have had so far here at Fullerton College. He enjoys conversing with his students, and it shows that he really cares about their grade. He really makes the subject fun by talking about his experiences and his weird analogies. All work he assigns is pretty much on the test, online homework is pretty easy.
He is awesome. well-organized lecture. If you keep follow, you will get a good grade.
Best professor ever. Honestly I had so much fun. BUT I actually learned instead of just passing the class. Expect homework almost every night. He's very flexible and understanding so talk out any issues. Study! Read the text! Take good notes! He's so straightforward so just pay attention. LAB is important (fun too). Make friends. Participate. (:
Professor chan is amazing! This was a really tough class but he's a great instructor! He is very helpful & although he goes through things very fast only b/c there is a lot to go through he is still clear. Be prepared to read a lot, study a lot, hw! and take good notes in class and from your textbook. Email him on hw ?'s he's always very helpful (:
I loved Mr. Chan. He was the best professor so far. I have never felt closer to a teacher or the class and it's all because of him. Chemistry is tough, and he will push you and motivate you by pretending that you'v let him down by getting bad grades etc. If you ask, he will tell you exactly what you need to do to pass. He is a GREAT professor.
Professor Chan is amazing and he is REALLY helpful. It's a tough class (5 Units c'mon) if you do your work, the exams should be easy. Lecture can be boring sometimes, but he tries to encourage you, so do your part and participate. Outline and read that chapters ahead of time. Ask questions. an A is possible. i would take him all over again!
Mr. Chan is one of the best professors I have ever taken, I took him for 101 & 201. His classes are tough, there is a lot of material to know & in order to keep it fresh he assigns homework almost everyday. He won't give you a good grade just because.. U have to work hard! labs are fun!! Mr Chan cares for his students he's always there to help!!
He's such a wonderful teacher and person. Full of surprises. He'll help you on anything just ask. Jokes are funny too. Lectures learn them! That's the only way you'll pass lol
BEST CHEM TEACHER EVER!! Look no further! He will dedicate all the time you need to pass his class, very attentive, interacts with each and every student, his jokes are hilarious, his personality is unique and awesome. HW is given everyday, test are straightforward, gives you all the study material, chem is tough but he makes it fun and doable!
study and you'll pass!
Professor Chan is a great teacher, He REALLY wants everyone to pass, extremely helpful, offers extra credit. And best of all he is a genuinely Nice man. He makes effort to get to know his students and truly makes Chemistry enjoyable. Make sure to consistently do the online homework on time, n study hard. Quizzes r out of the Chem book! Take notes!
Literally, hands down, best professor I've taken!!! He almost made me want to change my major to chemistry. He's super nice and funny. Class gets long and tedious sometimes, but it's really worth it. I'm so thankful I took this course because it really helped me to boost my science experience. I really really recommend this professor!
Love him he is a great teacher. He cares about his students and wants them to pass. It is a tough class and there is homework but if your on top of it you are good homework is not too long either 5-10 problems online. Tests are a little tough but study guides help and he is always willing to help. Does reviews in class as well. Wonderful class.
Most amazing teacher I've ever had in my three years of college. Professor Chan made chemistry so easy to understand. He grades with partial credit for answers you get wrong. Tests are very straight forward just follow his study guide. You won't regret taking his class!
Prof Chan is the best professor! He made me changed my major to chemistry and actually want to be a Chem professor like him. He makes chemistry so fun and I would want to make more people like chemistry just like he did to me. His classes are hard and a lot of homeworks but just do your homeworks(don't be lazy) and study the study guide!
Probably the nicest/caring professor I've had in a long time. Truly wants you to understand material. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand anything. Will answer your emails, even late at night. Class can be kind of hard if you work/have family/etc as you do have to study for tests. Otherwise very enjoyable class.
Professor Chan is amazing, funny, cares about his students. He reminds me of a high school teacher if you are falling behind he will call you up and ask you how you can do better next test. This class is not an easy A but if you ask questions, participate do your homework and the study guides aka do not be lazy you will pass.
He is one of the best professors that I have taken. He is super nice, friendly. He is always ready to help students. Taking his class was my right decision.
Took Professor Chan for both 101 and 201 course. He was awesome for both courses. Highly recommend attending his outside study session before the exams. 201 is definitely much more difficult than 101. But easy A if you put your effort in. He is always willing to help his students out. If you hav to take any chem course, take it with chan!
I loved being in his class! I honestly wanted to change my major to chemistry because of him.
Professor Chan is so amazing. I took him over the summer so it was definitely a lot of studying and doing HW. Quizzes everyday and 1 exam each week. He tells you exactly what problems will be on the quiz so they're really easy if you study. He's so funny, genuinely cares and tries to make a connection with each student. Best class ever!
He get's a little unorganized and his lectures are very boring. He doesn't take attendance but if you don't go to class its hard to catch up. Lab is the hardest part of the class because he wants lab reports very specific. He's very accommodating if you need him to explain something more go to his office hours. Final exam is cumulative.
I have never wrote here before, but Professor Chan deserve it! I Used to rate chemistry and after his class I love it. The subject is not easy, so you will need work to get an A! He was one of the best professors I had. His lectures is fast, but he is very helpful and will do everything that is need to you understand. Get ready to laugh too!
Professor Chan is the one of the best professors and thats hard to come by. He is very clear in his lectures. He gives exactly what is needed to pass the exams. There are quizzes everyday but he gives the same exact sample problems from the book. You can 100% ask him for help and he will make sure you understand it. Amazing is an understatement.
I LOVE professor Chan! He is the sweetest professor ever and he genuinely cares about his students. He is extremely understanding and will try to work with you. He has a ton of dad jokes so be prepared to laugh awkwardly. He is amazing, I'd take chem again just to be in his class.
Had him for 201F. Professor knows his stuff and is a kind man. However, his lectures are mediocre at best. They are very slow and disorganized and it is difficult to understand the major points of each topic, especially when it comes to the metabolism portion.
Professor Chan was awesome! The beginning of the class isnt to hard if you have taken some form of chemistry before. Towards the middle and back half of the semester it does get challenging, however if you pair up and do study groups youll be just fine. Definitely a lot of homework, but it usually isnt to hard if you were paying attention. 10/10
Professor Chan is awesome! He gives A LOT of work but it all benefits you and you're learning. He is very caring and funny. Very accessible outside of class. If you don't understand the material, ask for help. He gives a bit of extra credit. He was a great professor in person and online when we had to transition due to COVID-19.
Professor Chan was my favorite, he cares for all his students and will go out of his way to help you if he notices you are struggling but you have to take advantage of his office hours !! The tutoring sessions were very helpful as well, you are given more papers and study guides. Do all the worksheets he gives you repeatedly and youll do great :)
Chem 201 is HARD. Lots of online hw and papers he gives out. he wants lab reports to be very specific. 3 exams, 1 final exam, and a lab exam. don't take any other classes if you're taking this class. make sure to study every day. There are quizzes every week.
