Reviews of professor Suzan Youssef

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I felt I did the best of my ability with no chemistry background and Im okay with the grade received. She is VERY understanding and will try to help as much as she can but I felt that a lot of people tried to take advantage of that and were still complaining about their grade. The material itself is hard but if you pay attention you can pass.

Youssef is an amazing teacher, she was pretty funny and always had a nice attitude. She never has gotten frustrated and had patience. I recommend going to the SGLs, really played a big role on grasping the concepts on each chapter. Labs are pretty difficult sometimes but just pay attention to the lectures which will help with lab.

Would never get to the point and sucks at grading. She is now barely updating grades. Her final exam had nothing to do with the last chapters she swore would be on the test. Is also very aggressive if you don't understand something 3/10. Only good part was extra credit

Although Professor Youssef is caring, I would not recommend taking her course for Chem2A. She is test heavy and lecture heavy. Class Attendance is not mandatory, but technically if you do not come to lecture, you will fail lab and lecture altogether. Horrible!

Chemistry is an easy class for me so it was not that hard to pass. However, her teaching style is kind of stupid and she dox points on the exams if you do not do the work how she taught. I tried using shortcuts and lost points because of it.

Dr. Youssef was super super proficient and nice. Even if I knew Chem, it was a pleasure to come to lectures. Almost every lecture extra credit exercises that everyone can do bcs she solves them as well. A quiz was in class with any other student you want (group quiz). Her exams are based strictly on everything that was studied in class. Love her!

I had Youssef for Lab rather than lecture and she was way more clear on instruction. Provided more clarify on topics vs. actual lecture. Sweetest woman ever. Highly respectful and helpful.
