Reviews of professor Ming Chen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Previously a grad teacher, but had him in his first semester teaching undergrad. Unreasonably long and difficult tests, far beyond undergrad level. Allowed the class to panic/fail for most of the semester before finally announcing a (bogus) scale that saved us all. He could alter this class in the future, but if he doesn't, avoid it like the plague

I had Ming Chen for Organic I and II. He was such a kind man and he does make it a point to know everyones names. It is a little difficult to understand him and he does move fast, but he scales HEAVILY ( a 61 was counted as a B for me). He gives review worksheets that are helpful, and gets test questions from the homework exactly. Very sweet.

Only grades you receive in his class come from your exams, it does help that he scales his tests. His final is set up to where if you fail it you fail the class, but with a scale as well. To do well in this class you have to go over the worksheets and the textbook problems. my schedule did not help me as when he held recitation I was at work.

We had him his first time teaching undergrad. If we hadn't reviewed in the beginning we wouldn't have had to cram material at the end which would have been better. His quizzes are just hard tests. He grades based on improvement overall, so try your best and you should end up doing okay. Don't be afraid to ask him questions and work the EOCs!

He sucks, you have to make a passing grade on the final to pass the course, you might as well skip class all semester and make a passing grade on the final. Hes rude, I suggest you stand up for yourself and let him know youre the student and he works for you like I did. If you have a problem, dont be afraid to email someone higher than him.

His class is overall hard but fair, if you study hard, you will learn a lot and finally get a good grade, but just remember, you will need to work very hard.

Ming Chen's class is tough, but OChem2 is tough any teacher you take. I would recommend him, because the class is small and you can ask for help anytime, including during class. You have to do the book problems to succeed, but if you do them and the study guides for the test you will be fine. I recommend taking this class over one with 300 people.
