Reviews of professor Matthew Shimazu

best chem professor ever

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor I would highly recommend taking. Explains clearly and uses lots of color. First half of semester is gen chem, second half is ochem. Do NOT skip class because participation is graded by attendance and clicker questions. Only one midterm and one final exam and lots of quizzes (10 worth 20 pts). GUINEA PIG CLASS - might have changed!

The system he uses in class is very effective at getting the students to actually understand the material. He checks your work to make sure it's done right and he explains the topics very well. Labs are a bit tough because you can't talk to other people and it's timed so just make sure you prepare before hand and ask all the questions you have.

If you are deciding on who you should take for Chem, Prof. Shimazu is the one! In order to get the grade you want, you must be on top of all the lectures. DO THE ONLINE HW & WORKBOOK, trust me when I say that this is your "study guide/time" for your exams!! It will help you understand the material & you possibly won't need to study outside of it.
