Great teacher. His tests are hard, but I feel his classes learned more than other chem classes. There are also assignments, and quizzes to balance out test grades. I would take classes with this professor again.

His test are hard, but he teaches so good! He does a lot of examples and provides good notes. If you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class for you. You do learn a lot in his class. Very good professor

His notes are very good and organized. The homework takes a bit of time but he gives you plenty of time and you can work with classmates on the assignments. His tests are slighly hard, but chemistry isn't an easy class in general. If you don't have to take chemistry, I wouldn't recommend it. He's a great teacher though, taking him next semester.

Dr. Quach is both very knowledgeable and a gifted teacher. Would highly recommend him or Dr. Summers, and to stay away from the others for a quality chemistry education. Extremely clear in lecture and on what is expected;is very approachable once you get comfortable with his friendly sarcasm. Challenging but get ready to learn! Good experience.

Dr. Quach is one of the funniest professors you will every have and once you know him is very approachable. The class requires work and the test are hard. He grades very fair though and has tons of office hour as if lives at the school or something. Highly recommend you form a study group that meets once a week or more to help you get through.

He really is a great instructor. He's not easy but thats just bcause he wants to make sure you learn the concepts. Great sense of humor and made class fun. Gave alot of extra credit opportunities. The only way you could've failed is if you didn't try much.I "heard" he's brutal in chem 2 but his chem 1 class was fun for me. Not bad looking either :)

Amazing teacher! Moves fast in lecture but often asks if anyone has any questions. Extra credit makes up for tricky/difficult tests. Very helpful/calm/attentive lab instructor. Good natured during office hour help. Explains concepts well, could use more examples imo. Grades carefully/fairly on assgnts/summaries. Learn to write a damn goodlabreport!

This is not an easy class. Dr. Quach, however, teaches it well. Show up, pay attention, and take notes. Do you work for the lab and the classroom. He is a very funny teacher, but serious about his work.

Very cool instructor, but his exams are extremely hard. He does give a lot of extra credit, so it makes up for the difficulty. Also, he is very helpful if you go to his office hours. Do not take other classes that are difficult, if you plan on taking Dr. Quach. This class will require a lot of studying! Good luck!

GREAT in lecture. Gives so much extra credit! Do it all and you won't have anything to complain about.

He is a great professor. He gives plenty of extra credit, it is enough extra points to raise your grade two letter grades. I had him for Chem 1 and he was also great in that class.

I am thankful for Dr. Quach. This class involves a lot of studying and HW on MasteringChemistry.com. IF you put your time into the class you will do OK. There is extra credit on each exam as well as if you do every HW. I absolutely recommend him. I however, do not recommend taking a class that involves this much knowledge in a short 6 week period.

Most students are going to say he is the most difficult teacher in the chemistry but he's actually going to teach you. He will give you all the tools you need to succeed but he you have use them. study for the test that he gives you study guides they are exactly like his exams. I would totally take him again... and he's man pretty k good luck ...

Professor Quach is a chill guy. He's brilliant with chemistry. However, he wants to make sure you understand the concepts and how to do the work. This class on its own is already pretty demanding, so don't expect a cakewalk. His tests are, for the most part, challenging, but he is extremely forgiving if he can see how you came to your answer. If you are planning on going on taking sciences that build on a solid foundation of chemistry, definitely consider him, because these concepts will stick.

Dr. Quach is amazing! I wish he was teaching Organic. He is the only gen chem professor worth taking. He is tough, but will help you out in the long run. There is a lot of extra credit. If you have a question he will get back to you right away, and he always has office hours.

He is a great teacher. He knows a lot and has extensive office hours. He is nice, kind, and helpful. He averages lab, test, quiz, homework, lab reports, and practical to final grade which is helpful. He could have a better control of the class. There was a point when some students bullied others and that was difficult to swallow.

This class is definitely not easy, and Dr. Quach makes you work for your grade. The tests are a beast, but if you do all of the homework, pay attention in class, and DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS you should do just fine. He gives lots of extra credit, too. If you are looking for a challenge, then Quach's Gen Chem II class is for you.

Quach is a great professor, explains very clearly, very helpful also, but his exams are extremely challenging, specially considering this is already a very difficult class. He provides extras which help tremendously but will only be awarded to those who got at least 50% in th final. I recommend him ONLY to students who are serious about Chemistry.

Dr.Q is a great professor. He can seem intimidating at first, but if you put the effort into studying and asking questions he will loosen up and you will understand the material better! He enjoys questions and feedback! As long as you stay interactive in the class he'll respond positively. He can go a bit fast, but THERE'S A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT!!!!

Great teacher! He works very hard to help the students. The class was not easy, but it was reasonably challenging. Definitely recommend!

Professor Quach is an AMAZING teacher. He takes his time to clarify what you don't understand. The homework on MasteringChemistry is waaayyyy different from the material he actually teaches in lecture, but is great preparation for his exams. He has plenty of resources to study from and gain practice. There's also extra credit opportunities! STUDY!

I took the course in 6 weeks during summer B. Like any chemistry course, you must put the work in to get the grade you want. I would HIGHLY recommend Professor Van Quach. He is by far my favorite science related professor out of all the course I have taken. You can tell he enjoys his job and wants to help all of his students as much as he can.

Taking Dr. Quach over other professors was by far the best decision I have ever made. His lectures are fun and interesting. My upper division chemistry courses at UCF are made much easier because of what I learned in his classes. A is possible with sufficient effort. His tests are difficult, but offers ample extra credit. A MUST TAKE AT SSC.

Took Quach for chem 1, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Yes, his test are difficult, but the extra credit is a good buffer. It's chemistry so don't expect it to be a walk in the park. With the right amount of time and effort put in you can definitely pass and an A is possible. His quizzes very are helpful to prepare for final.

Quach's class is very difficult, especially the tests, but you will learn far more than with the other professors on campus. I would highly recommend taking his class if you are looking to major in anything science related, since the difficulty will really help you understand if you apply yourself. He also gives tons of extra credit opportunities.

Even though he was a tough grader and the test are heavy, it would have been easier if I studied. But it is a fun class you get to eat some cool science-y stuff. Everything is related to fun so you eat and learn science.

He is a great professor. Just listen to the lectures and study hard.

Quach is a VERY tough grader but he is treating you like you are already a chemist doing your own labs. He gives a good amount of extra credit and also gives old exams that he as given as a study guide. Exams are difficult but if you study and do mastering chem you'll do fine. Very quick grader.

Professor Quach is very knowledgeable but its important not to take his sarcasm or criticisms in the lab personally. He grades fairly, though is harsh on the two formal lab reports. Pay attention to due dates. Grade on final replaces the lowest test score and there is enough extra credit from the daily quizzes and homework to bump you up a grade.

Not going to lie. He is a very tough grader and comes off a little intimidating. BUT he will help you if he knows you are really trying. Make sure you do all the assignments because they will definitely help you pass. There is a lot of extra credit. The material is really tough and he does try to help you but he also expects you to know a lot of it

Quach is an amazing professor. He really cares about your learning if you show him that you are serious about your goals and aspirations. Do all the class work and homework and cross your fingers are the exams.

He connects how chemistry applies to every day life often in lectures with videos and other examples. Most tests have quite a lot of extra credit on them as well as extra credit from the daily quizzes. Lots of online homework, but doesn't weigh heavy on the grade. He also plays music in lab.

He is an amazing professor, and he cares about students. However, you need to work hard for the class. It is not an easy A, but if you worked hard an A is possible. Take him if you really want to learn.

Do yourself a favor and just take Quach. Best way to pass: know how to do the equations on the practice sheets he gives, make sure you understand the material before those hard tests, if not, ASK! (he's very nice and happy to answer any questions you have), go through the text and do those practice problems as well. Just study those and you'll pass

I have never been good at understanding chemistry but professor Quach made it easy to learn. He simplifies the material in a way that is easy to understand. Very willing to help you out and explain everything. Tests are a little difficult but if you use the past exams to study you'll be fine. Overall I recommend professor Quach 110%, TAKE HIM!!!!

He's a good teacher but is a very tough grader especially when it comes to lab reports. He like to play music during lab. He gives some extra credit so it is possible to pass his class but be prepared to work hard.

Great teacher! You will learn a lot, but you will have to put in the work. There are opportunities for extra credit. He does provide a practice test before each test which is helpful. Dr. Quach really wants you to succeed and is willing to help you in class or during office hours. I would definitely take him again.

I personally did not like the way Professor Quach taught. I mostly taught myself through YouTube videos. I also agree that on Lab Reports he is very particular and a harsh grader. HOWEVER, he gives so much extra credit that as long as you study and try you cant not pass the class. Extra Credit on Tests, Homework, and in class Quizzes.

Great teacher! He really wants his students to be successful. You will have to put in the work because it is not an easy course. He is more than willing to help you in class and during office hours. He gives you worksheets and practice tests to help you study. I would definitely take him again.

He answers any questions you have and teaches the subject more clearly than I expected a chem professor to teach. Chem is sort of hard for me but I payed attention in class, took notes, and was satisfied with the grade I got. Make sure to do the ALEKS online hw. That also helps you understand the concepts.

Okay, you have to work hard for your grade in this class. Chemistry is a really heavy subject and youll survive quach if you skim over the lectures before the lesson. Labs are fairly easy, make sure you look over your procedures before. keep up with your aleks even though its all due at the end of the semester. He definitely wants you to succeed!

He made me laugh at myself many times. Class is lecture heavy, but his notes are clearly organized. Pay attention in class, write down everything he puts on the board, and ASK QUESTIONS. He loves when students engage. Visit office hours and utilize email if you can't get to his office. He will explain anything if asked. Helps that he's also cute!

The hardest class I've taken so far, but it was a 6 week class. Labs work as participation basically, but exams are the biggest grade. Practice exams available for practice, but Aleks should be used. In class you are taught but you're gonna want to read the book too. Good amount of xtra cred. Had a low B, ended up with an A bc of the final exam.

Chem is a semi difficult class. Quach is a pretty decent teacher (7/10).He can be a bit rude at times during stressful labs but I just ignore it. Ask intelligent questions and be confident and youll be on his good side. Use prior tests from last semester to study. Make sure you do all the work on time! Its a lot. Make friends in class, it helps!

Professor Quach is the best teacher I have ever taken! In the lectures he writes everything on the board and if you do not understand he will repeat it for you and help you understand. If you are planing to go into the medical field and preparing for the MCAT I would definitely take Professor Quach! Also, Professor Quach gives so much extra credit!

Great professor. Encourages asking questions, went over lots of problems in a clear way. Gave us good feedback on assignments and so many opportunities to practice and ensure we understand the material. He also gave several bonus point assignments and even pushed back some due dates to give more time. Would highly recommend taking his classes.

Use all the resources on Canvas - Especially the practice tests from the previous semester. He has built-in extra credit on tests and in ALEKS. Stay on top of the work, show up to class, and listen to how he wants work submitted, and its an easy pass.

I failed chem twice and this was my third taking the class and I came home to SSC to take it and I finally passed, if you put in effort and show up then you will pass, I'm saying this as I failed the last 2 exams but did fine on everything else and I am good, I should have taken the class here first time around and I did summer semester in 6 weeks

I don't know why he has such bad reviews on here. Chemistry is just a hard subject, but he explained the material very well, and he has extra credit built into every exam, although the exams are very hard to begin with. However, if you review his old exams that he uploads, then you should do fine. Just do the hw and ask him when you have Qs.

Not exactly inspirational; very to the point in lectures but very accessible at all other times. Super important to study hard for tests and work on the online homework; it will assist you in learning everything you need to know. Only criticism is lack of in-class practice problems; you tend to need to bring them to him during office hours.

Professor Quach is, simply put, a strict but great professor. Sometimes, he can get under your skin and discourage you, but the purpose of his strictness is to get you prepared for a field where you need to be accurate and you should be striving for success. Getting an A is very doable and as long as you are prepared to do the work you will excel.

Saw a lot of negative reviews but had to take him for this summer semester. CHM 2045C is a heavy workload but this professor tries to make it manageable. Got As and Bs on tests but a 69 on the last. Bombed the final and weekly quizzes and I'll pass with a C or B. Goes over pre-labs. Keep up with ALEKS. Built in extra credit on tests

You need the textbook to access ALEKS. Keep up with ALEKS, it is a lot of work but worth it. Offers notes on tests if you're caught up with ALEKS and gives everyone formula sheets. Seems a bit confident sometimes but I would rather have that than a lousy prof. ALEKS helped a lot with studying for tests. Offers extra credit and good prof overall.

The class is hard, especially for someone like me who hates all things Science (hence why I got such a low grade). But Professor Quach is an amazing professor and makes it as digestible as he possibly can. He's very responsive and his guidelines are always clear. Though he is a tough grader, he has a passion for his work. Also, DO ALEKS FOR EC.

I believe that Dr. Q receives a lot of negative ratings mainly due to the difficulty of the class. Honestly, this was the hardest class I have taken so far. For example, on every single exam, the CLASS average was typically around 50%. However, if you actually take the time to study and complete the bonus points assignments provided, you will pass.

I believe that Dr. Q receives many negative reviews mainly due to the difficulty of the class. Every single exam had a CLASS average grade of about 50%. However, there are many opportunities for bonus points and as long as you dedicate a good chunk of time and effort, you will pass. Nevertheless, definitely only take this class if you have to.

Took him for Chem 1 and 2, he's not bad you need to keep on top of the online homework and do the lab assignments. He gives exams from the previous semester to study off of and they are usually similar. All the information needed is taught and available through powerpoint slides, including a lot of worked out problems.

The class is quite challenging, but if you stay on top of the ALEKS assignments and use helpful study tools like Unstuck AI, you can succeed. The professor is knowledgeable but may come across as demeaning at times. Overall, a tough but manageable class with a fair grading system.

Plenty of opportunities for bonus points, clear expectations laid out in the beginning of the course. He comes off as intimidating at first but overall a good teacher.

He tells you exactly what's expected of you to get a good grade. If you spend time to review lectures, do all of the online homework, and attend/participate in labs, you'll be fine. He gives partial credit and notes on tests and the lectures aren't as boring as some other professors. Respectful, chill guy. Class isn't super easy but it's worth it.
