Reviews of professor Samuel Hernandez

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I recommend to not take Dr. Hernandez. In my opinion, his lectures are boring and uninformative. Students from his lecture (including me) decided that even going to lecture won't help us learn because he clearly can't teach and also always makes mistakes. His class has roughly 3-4 exams and assignments very frequently; Make sure to do well on these

Dr. Hernandez was amazing he was super understanding and never failed to make sure that we were able to learn and understand the material properly. At one point he took off the lockdown browser and opened all the quizzes up just in case anyone missed any of them. I also had him for Lab which I think was super beneficial and I recommend.

Dr. Sam was my lab instructor, chem 3A lab was fairly simple with him. You don't get to choose your lab partners so be prepared to do extra work that your lab partners don't help with. There are 3 experiments with a presentation for each one. You can ask him for help and he'll pretty much give you the answer.

i did it online & you only needed to attend the first to classes so you wont get dropped. he uploads all the presentations. you dont really learn. honestly i taught myself but it wasnt so bad. hes pretty fair with the grading though

Good and understanding teacher. The subject is just difficult and the homework is too. Everyone is most likely to pass because of how much extra credit he gives and how big the curves are.

His lectures are boring. Goes over slides and attendance isn't mandatory. Besides that Dr. Hernandez is very understanding and is VERY lenient with grading. As long as you do good on homework and quizzes the class is easy to pass because of how lenient he grades. Doesn't grade too harshly on labs. He just wants to see if we understand the material

Hernandez is a great teacher to take for chem 3A. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. He does go by units very fast so ask questions.

Very great professor.  I honestly only took it because I needed it for my major and I didn't learn much but you can easily pass with an A in the lab and lecture if you do your stuff.  Homework isn't marked late until the end of the semester so that's great but don't wait till the last min.  He will 100% help you get an A if you're struggling. 10/10

love this dude. syllabus is SUPER AMAZING compared to others. its chem so it can get challenging but he makes it as clear as it can get. gives a LOT of extra credit, attendance is extra credit. he understands students, flexible, and takes everything in consideration. would recommend him!
