Reviews of professor Susana Kimura-Hara

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sure, people definitely didn't like her for her poor lecture style. But, her exams are E A S Y. She bases all her topics off of the learning objectives which makes studying objective and straight forward. If you're a chem major, the functional group section will be a piece of cake. Take good notes, don't ask questions, and try hard on assignments.

Very kind person teaching her first course. She made a very achievable course which was fair. Be ready to study hard, and to do memorization. She provides good resources and makes sure you succeed!

Very lecture heavy, tests should be structured different, also tests should be set at different times, first one had 6 lectures (pretty good in terms of studying), second one had 13 lectures (a crap ton of memorization, each lecture has approx. 50 slides, id say about 30-40 testable slides on aggregate). Lectures are boring. MEMORIZE, you pass.

The only way to succeed is to memorize an entire book worth of content and know every detail. You will be forced to memorize things that dont matter in relation to the point of the class. You will be tested on random side bits of slides unrelated to lecture goals that she provides.

She goes through over 50 slides every class, I don't know how she expects everyone to pay attention. Half of the notes are just filler that you don't need to know, its like she wants you to suffer through an endless amount if boring information each class.

everything the reviews here say are true by far the worst class I have taken in my academic career each lecture be prepared to have 40-50 slides read to you verbatim, well not post practice quizzes or in class examples and well not give part marks on calculation questions, I assume because SKH is too lazy to mark them. Also class is very boring

it saddens me to see someone as sweet and hard working as Dr. Kimura be a target. if you are to unintelligent to pass a basic chemistry course maybe stick to arts. some constructive criticism i have is that maybe d2l is not a very good place to put the assignments try software such as webwork.

Reads off slides the whole lecture. Has unannounced in-class assignments that force you to come to class and listen to her struggle to give a lecture. Exams have poorly weighed questions where everything is multiple choice but some questions will be worth 5-10x more b/c it requires written work but doesn't mark the written work. Very bad prof.

In my four years of university, I have never come across a professor this terrible. She quite literally has no idea how to teach. The content had great potential to be interesting, yet she managed to turn it into trash. She reads off slides, expects you to memorize 20+ structures for one exam, theres at least 2 mistakes on everything she makes. rip
