Reviews of professor Susan Kuo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Entire class is based on 4 exams. Her lectures give nothing of substance and very little of what's in lecture is on the exams. I found that skipping class and memorizing the book instead actually got me better grades

Not too challenging of a class and very interesting topics. Prof. Kuo does a good job in lecture of explaining the concepts and connecting them to past topics. Be prepared to rely heavily on the book for information though Other people complaining about her most likely skipped the lecture and decided it wasn't there responsibility to read the book.

It's okay to challenge students, but this class didn't accomplish that. Many test questions came from a single sentence that wasn't emphasized in the book, for a 4 chapter exam. Given that material tested was not discussed in lectures, it would have been helpful to point out which sections she felt were important. Ochem was easier than this class.

Honestly you don't need to go to this class to do well. I didn't go to the last 7-8 classes and got a B on the 3rd exam. She reads right off of the powerpoints and puts minuscule details on the exams, so as long as you basically memorize every little things from the powerpoints you should be good.
