No Comments
Great instructor, very funny! He actually made chemistry interesting and gave practical examples instead of boring lectures. HIGHLY recommended!
Very easy going teacher. Exams are not easy, you will have good grade if you spend time studying. He has very good personality, he knows how to teach!
He is a very good chem teacher. He actually makes me understand chemistry without making it boring. He's funny, but make sure you study for his exams becuz don't think that it will be ez just cuz its 30 multiple choice.. there are no extra credit. BUT he gives full credit for lab only if you show up and do it every time there is class

Dr Bai was a great and interesting teacher. Everyone loved him. He was really entertaining. His tests ARE hard but he gives you plenty of notes so pay attention. I learned a lot in his class and I still keep my notes to study for my MCATS
Dr BAI is very awesome. Everything seems to be easier under his instruction. However, you must be careful with his tests. To get an A in his class is very hard. It is very interesting to take Dr.Bai'classes
He's very interesting and smart professor. You will have a great background of ever in chemistry if you take his class. You will never regret of being taught by him. With the way he guide you, chemistry will be a piece of cake.
Very helpful. If you need to take a PCAT, MCAT, DCAT...you have to take his class. He teach all classes of chemistry very clear and helpful. You will be easy get A when take his class.
He is the greatest chemistry intructors in all HCC campuses. You will have a tough back ground to attend any university and do not have to worry about chemistry. If you hate chemistry, he'll make you love it. If you are suck of chemistry, he'll make you to be tough on it. He is strongly recommended.
can anyone please tell me what campus
Honestly,he is the best chem teacher in HCC.Funny,patient and easy going, he'll make you love chem.Dont expect an easy A in his class, but every minute you stay in there is really worthy.I love this guy and the way he jokes, it's just like he was born to teach.sooo awesome!!! Central Campus
I wish he was teaching all the other chemistry classes I need. Hes soo encouraging!! I love his class. If you want to understand chemistry easily this THE class.
Dr. Bai is a very wonderful teacher! He knows how to teach and encourages students to do their best in his class. He's there for his students. He makes you fall in love with chemistry. I seriously wish that he was teaching the other chemistry classes. NO ONE CAN TEACH, BETTER THAN HE CAN!!!
He teaches really good. exams are easy you read over his review questions. you can have the 1 page notes when you take the test. labs are easy. recommend for Asain ppl to take his class.
Who ever wrote the above is a dumb ass he's not very clear half the time you can't even understand what he is saying. He doen't go by the books and if you need help he say's go to tutoring which all are asian and they don't know what the hell there doing. If your asian/girl he'll help otherwise dont bother.
I won't recommend him. his test is hard.
Best Physics professor ever. He explains things so well that you'll end up learning a lot. Great sense of humor. Take him...It'll be your best experience ever.
Best physics proff ever and a great person. Very funny. Explains very well and makes sure you understand the topic. And very helpful. Take him...theres no one who can teach physics better than him.
What is the best way to study for his exams? I hear the exams are hard and that he does not go by the books. So what does a person have to study in order to make a good grade?
Wasn't happy w/ his teaching style. Lectures are unorganized and not enough for exams. When I look back at his notes, they make no sense.I'll make an A or B in the class but it's best to take the course at stafford campus w/ Ms. Elamrani. I had her for chem 1405 and I use her notes for Bai's 1411 class..only reason why I'm doing well is her notes.
excellent chemistry teacher in Houston. He is so helpful, and always make sure that you understand before you leave the class. He gives lots of extra help (online chat with him, tutor, etc). Don't need to buy textbook or lab book. Great sense of humor, must be super "dumb" (no offense) to not pass his class with A.
HE IS VERY EASY GOING.
I was doing great in his class until it came to the final...he taught us most of the important info that appeared on the final the class before the final. I felt that was very unfair. His lectures are unorganized and jumps from topic to topic when he teaches. There are much better profs for chem out there. Don't take him. Try Stafford campus.
Dr. Bai knows his subject. You will learn a lot from him...All of his tests are show works...As long as you attend the class, you definitely do well on the test. There is no "C" in his class.
nice guy. lecture notes are all over the place. He doesn't cover everything that will be on the final until the review. If you really want to learn chemistry, i don't recommend him. if you just need an easy A, then take him.
overall, he is a wonderful professor, but you have to play your part by studying and solving problems. as for your grades, some people didn't perform well so all isn't rosy in his class.
Dr. Bai is a very nice person. His lecture notes are all over the place though. He leaves a lot of important topics out. If you really want to learn chemistry, i don't recommend him. if you just need an easy A, then take him. His test are all multiple choice, so there is no partial credit. Labs are a joke.
Bai is a great chemistry teacher. He explain every quiz and test. I took him online and he was very helpful and easy to understand. He started off with review on campus but later went to online due to students living far out and his concern was to get everyone a chance to be apart of the review. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH HIM!!!
not going to lie. if you need an A or just a passing grade then you need to keep up with this class from dr.bai. he is very clear with instructions and he wants you to pass, his class is online,communication is the # tool if you dont understand anything in chem. he gives discussions and bonus discussions as a third of your grade, I highly reccomend
Great Professor. Online class I recommend him. He loves his job.
He is a nice teacher who does not teach very well but it is an easy class.
I would like to recommend he to everyone. His accent is a bit hard to hear but his teaching is awesome. If you work hard, you'll get an A easily. I took a hybrid class of him. But I've done the internet studying only in the first month. He gives you practice test which is similar to the real test. His test is easy
Dr. Bai is a really funny teacher and is obsessed with McDonalds cheeseburgers but hes an ok teacher. I took the hybrid class and it was ok. Lecture was 3hrs but he always found some way to shorten class if it was raining so you wont really learn that much. I somehow got a B. he drops the lowest tst score and labs are a complete joke but hes cool
horrible teacher......not an easy class....
I took his class online and it was pretty easy. A few exams and quizzes. You have plenty of time to finish. HE even has lecture videos uploaded. I loved this class. Highly recommended!
The worst, most unfair professor at HCC. I have had better experiences at the proctologist and dentist. Only seem to care about student reputation not teaching.
A great teacher, online class was great, everything you need is online.He will e-mail you back as soon as he receives your e-mail. He will answer questions right away, very fair. Study your power points and do practice tests.
Great teacher,he will email you back as soon as he receives your e-mail. study your practice test and quizes. Study your power point presentations.
dont take him! he doesnt know how to teach... there is a reason y he got kicked out of uh... he doesnt teach.. prefers chinese over anybody else. HORRIBLE!!! dont take him. his reviews are nothing like the test!!!i got work my butt of to get a good grade.. practically went to tutorials(not by him) every freakin day!!! dont take him1 he doesnt care
his online class is an EASY A..... all tests online...
Dr. Bai is a wonderful teacher. I took him online this summer. This was such an easy class. His sybullus are very clear and understandable.I would recommend anyone to take him
took this class Chem 1305 online. Hw was easy and test all online was easy pass with A. Nice professor. If you have questions or need help. email him and he replies back quick
does this class have lab?
No lab, I took it online. We had four discussions,3 out of 4 test, he drops lowest one. He communicates well, and you get to use your book for the test if you take it online. I recommend online, easy A to me!
This guy is super great professor he is very easy to contact and the class is not hard at all. The test and quiz are online so be prepared the test are time and quiz! Honestly take this class great professor!
IF YOU DON'T GET AN A, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T READ HIS SYLLABUS, HE'S STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, HE TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO, JUST FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS AND YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH YOUR GRADE!
He is a great professor. He doesnt come down on his students. I took him online---The syllabus is crystal clear & he readily available for you whenever you need him to be. I would recommend him to anyone!!! TAKE HIM!!!!
I took this class online and I it was an easy A. I enjoyed the class.
Itook an online Chemistry class. He is a great teacher, super easy test, easy to earn point, easy to get an A+. Highly recommend
I took it online... easy A. Everything is clear in the syllabus. 5 diccussions 4 tests ( lower grade is dropped) and 5 quizzes... All are very easy... you need to do the practical tests and sample quizzes before... Trust me it is an EASY A class
First i was looking for a B in this class but i end up making an A this summer .Take him!
No text book, great professor, easy get A
I took the class online and it was great. No need to buy a textbook the notes are very thorough and test reviews are very similar to the test.
EASIEST INTROTOCHEM PROFESSOR EVR.5 easy discussions.5 easy quizzes,4 tests, lowest will be dropped, just do the review online and use powerpoints to study.no textbook necessary.if u miss something u can email and go to his office and complete the assignment. EASY A
EASY EASY EASY
A great man. Teaches body, mind and spirit. Inspiring. A treasure. I saw the world different with him. I love him, always miss him, and pray for him. Always a master of mine and a father.
Dr. Bai's class was understandable. This class is very easy if you keep up with the material on your own. The PowerPoint and practice tests are important in order to do well in this class. You can make and 'A' by doing all of the discussions, quizzes and tests.
online course easy peezy lemon squeezy. grades varied from 50's - 85's & he drops lowest... googled every question on quiz & test and passed with a B ! never emailed with questions so idk if he is helpful but google sure is
Very easy course. Easiest A you will ever get as long as you do the work. All the quizes and tests are very easy. I think we had 5 quizes and 4 test. He drops the lowest. Stuff is mostly common sense or just google questions.
Prof. Bai is very easy to follow and his syllabus is very clear. We had 4 quizzes, 3 tests and drops the lowest one, and 5 discussions which pretty much gets you 100 as long as you post something. I took him for chem 1305 online and I'm going to be taking him for Phys 1305 online. If you want good grade than he's the professor I would recommend.
I took this class online and perfect decision because the quizzes and tests were mainly on google. The 4 discussions were so easy that writing a few sentences gives you full credit. All my grades were As and mostly 100. If you need a science credit this is definitely the one to take! And take it online too! Textbook wasn't needed but was only $4
Easiest online class I've ever taken. There wasn't even a final. Do the work you will make an easy A. Perfect class for me when i was taking 15Hrs this summer.
Most of the material is quite simple, with the exception of trying to teach yourself nomenclature. Discussions, quizzes & exams are simple; however, he seems to round prematurely and/or come up with his own formulas for calculations, so no matter how hard you try or what resources you use, it's impossible to get 100%. Very frustrating.
Physics is a hard subject with so many formulas to remember. But Doc Bai teaches what is necessary. Although I have yet to grasp the concepts. Thankfully the daily assignments count for your grade and attendance is important to complete assignments which aren't difficult if you pay attention and take useful notes. He's nice and very smart helpful.
This class was fun and the tests and quizzes were pretty easy. Just study her reviews she posts and go over the practice exam and you should be good. It would also be more helpful if you read the chapter in your textbook.
Wish there was some homework or assignment examples other than the practice test and quizzes, as someone who previously took chemistry, this class was rather a challenge as a refresher course. I suggest you have a lot of time set aside to study, you will need to do a lot of independent study and practice. Would take professor again as needed.
I shouldn't complain this was the easiest A I ever received. I read the fist 3 chapters then stopped after that. Every question to the test and quizzes easily found on google. I wanted to learn CHEM but at last taking a 16 credit course load I found the easy way out on this one. Take if you need an easy A but not if you need to actually know CHEM.
Best professor ever!!! 5 quizzes and 4 easy tests. Better take him to get an easy A
Its possible to go through the class feeling like you didnt learn like I read someone wrote, but if you read the chapters and do practice exams then you really do learn still. It was a good class.
He's such a sweet old man. The labs are easy, just be careful because he can be really picky with grading and he can chop off a lot of points for something stupid. Take him!!! His labs and exams are really easy!
Im not good in chemistry at ALL I took it online to learn it at my pace. Tests questions are like the review but online helps just swap numbers to get the answers. 5 (12-15)quizzes every other week over the weekend. 4 test every other other week (30 questions). enough time. No final. Just quiz. Honestly enough time to do it & take other classes.
He is the worst he grades labs so critically and he gives only 5 questions for his test which is handwritten no multiple choice. He is so uncaring, i asked him for help and he said to look it up online. worst professor EVERRRR
He is a very caring professor. He was really understanding and tried his best to help me out, which I really appreciate. Being a single mom is extremely hard, and its nice to know that your teachers have your back. Pay attention to the quiz and test dates and you will be fine!
Great teacher. The class is easy if you review everything he posts online. The quiz and test dates sneak up on you, so make you pay attention. He drops one test grade, which was pretty awesome. I would totally take him again!
Great class. This is probably one of the easiest classes I have taken this year. He gives reviews and they are super helpful for the test. I highly recommend him
took the online class. only some answers to the quizzes and tests were online, even chegg wasn't much help. there were 5 quizzes and 4 tests. he DOES NOT give extra credit. this ruined my gpa, so be smart and run away!!
EASY A!!!!! No homework, just test and quizzes which you can find on google. This class is great to take if you need to improve your GPA.
everything is online, there is no extra credit or papers. Easy A though.
The labs are 80% of your grade, and the 2 tests weigh 20% of your grade. If you do not show up, you are not able to turn in the lab, so you need to be there EVERY TIME. No extra credit, but it isn't hard.
Took his online class there was only 4 exam and 4 quizzes throughout the course and your lowest exam grade is dropped. He provides practice exams and quizzes the relatively looks like the actual assignment. Overall get a glimpse of the textbook (not really) but use outside resources to be successful.
He is the best professor at HCC. Having taken him for CHEM 1305 online, PHYS 1305 online and Lab CHEM 1105. His lab is easy but you need to do a few works. Turn in your paper due every week with good preparation and you will be fine. He will answer your questions whenever you need help. Best professor ever!
One of the best professors at Hcc. I took his lecture online and lab at central. It's far from me, but it was worth it. Quizzes and exams are easy. He makes his lectures lively with his small jokes. I would definitely take him again. He made my last semester at Hcc peaceful.
Make sure to read a book before taking an exam
So easy
Very funny. Passionate about his work. Sometimes hard to follow along but he is patient and kind when answering questions. Our class had to switch to online bc of pandemic and he just gave us five 6 question simple quizzes. Easy A!
Bad teacher to put it simply, exams consisted of things he wouldn't include on his slides. I had to argue some of my points because he would mark them as wrong when they were right. He took forever to reply & when I asked for an explanation, he would avoid answering. I had to rely on my lab prof to learn & attended her lectures after the covid19.
Great prof. Class for 5 quizzes 20% and 4 exams (drop one). There was extra credit. Prof shared notes, reading material, review sheets, exams were complete based on the review sheets and slides. All exams were MCQs, For most question it was not difficult.
This man is awesome !!! I would take him again .. Hes very caring and nice . just do quizess and test you will pass. take him online >> im telling you Im not the best scholar but he made me so happy to be in school. PERFECT GUY
Very nice and patient. Willing to explain everything multiple times and answer all questions. Hes also funny and tries to make labs fun experiences. It was all very easy, he had reviews for quizzes and exams. Hes a great professor who truly cares about his students.
Amazing professor. All I have to say is this is the ONLY physics professor at HCC this won't screw you over. Take him and you won't regret it.
Dr. Bai is pretty chill. Taking him for summer 2 lab, he has the whole class posted up already for students to do everything when they want. He is also helpful with lecture materials. He chill, and if you have questions he responds real fast.
