Reviews of professor Kevin Chen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Chem 11 with Professor Chen in the summer semester and it was great. He gives a good lecture with many practice problems and explanation. Some people did struggle with his method but dont be afraid to ask questions if you dont understand. He is always willing to help and gives advice on how to do well in the course.

This professor was one of the worst I've had at Cerritos. His study guide is different than what is on the exam, and there is so much homework that is to be completed before each exam, which makes it hard if you have other classes to focus on. Professor Chen is also VERY rude. More than half the class dropped. You're better off taking someone else.

Do not take this class. He is very cruel with grades and shows no mercy. Not lenient at all and doesn't give any direction when handing out assignments.

If you want a professor who rushes through lectures, and makes a lot of errors then this is the class for you. Kevin Chen is a new teacher at El Camino College, and clearly has a lot to learn.

I took him as a remote class this year for both Lecture and Laboratory. We do take notes for the majority of the time and he records his lectures so we can always look back at them. We take quizzes every week and homework is only from Pearson and the labs he assigns us. Overall, he's a good Professor and responds quickly to emails. Would recommend!

He talks himself up a lot, and is actually very encouraging when you're openly engaging in the class. But the question types from his study guides do not match the question types on the actual tests. He admits that 50% will fail and drop, and 50% of what's left will just fail. He say's he wants to try something new to help teach but never does.

Professor Chen is amazing... I wonder if your the same person who always complained in class.... he is great and takes his time. You have to also do your part as a student!!!!

He is able to communicate some of the information, mechanically. However, his pedantic skills are very insufficient to instil enthusiasm about a topic. Also, his expectations are very unclear leading to a lot of random variability in the final grade. He makes it seem like his grading scale is lenient, however, he is such a strict grader u will getF

Think twice before taking Chemistry with Kevin Chen. He is knowledgable, but not skilled as an instructor. His lectures are rushed. His expectations are confusing. I recommend taking the class with someone else.
