Reviews of professor Paul Cheong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved Professor Cheong. He's one of the rare professors who actually wants his students to understand the material. The TAs were great, too. My advice would be to learn Ochem as if you are learning a new language. Concepts build off of each other like words into a sentence. Use online websites and quizzes to study for tests.

Paul, my man. You are angel sent from heaven. I would do anything to take this course over again with zero knowledge base. I would start from ground zero just to experience your mastery in lecture. Show up to class and you will be rewarded. This guy is the goat.

Professor Cheong (he prefers to be called Paul) is amazing. Going into organic chemistry for the first time this year was pretty devastating--I was struggling to keep up with studying the lecture material and failed the first quiz. Do yourself a favor at the beginning of the term: find a study group, READ prior to quiz day, and prepare to study.

He presented the material in a pretty clear way, but he made some kinda offensive comments that made me lose my respect for him at the beginning of the term. He was kinda mean when answering questions in class if he didn't understand what you were asking. I do think he genuinely cares but just didn't understand when he was being kinda harsh

Paul is so wonderful! I was just reminiscing with my friend who took the class as well on how much we miss him and his humor. He is a kind man that cares a lot about his students, and wants you to pass. I miss him and hope only the best for him. He also had lots of funny stories, even if they sometimes distracted from lectures lol.

Okay let me tell you about this wonderful man. This was Paul's first time teaching an undergraduate chemistry course and you would have never even known. This man continued to amaze me and I am honored that I got to take his class. He provides a lot of support outside of the classroom and you can tell that he and his TA Shelby care a lot.

Absolutely amazing teacher. Very involved with his students, lots of office hours. Speaks clearly and answers all questions. Tells funny stories too

Paul is very nice and cares a lot about his students, he just talks so fast. He posts lecture notes but they are hard to understand without watching the lecture video at the same time. Go to SI and office hours as much as possible, it helps so much. Tests are hard and often have things that you've never seen or are a combo of different topics.

Paul was a very accesible professor who made a lot of time for students, but his lectures and class flow was completely unstructured without resources to practice. Would start writing on the doc cam, with no content review. Night office hours before exams are 100% mandatory too pass
