Reviews of professor Serene Tai

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Organic Lab is a rigorous course and writing lab reports was no easier. Tai was a reasonable grader and gave you really good feedback to improve your lab reports. She did have a small lecture before lab and also a quiz that was difficult if you chose not to look over the lab. However, I feel she taught proper lab practice and writing skills.

Prof. Tai is a brilliant professor and knows the material through and through. She is very understanding and willing to work with you if you need more help. As long as you go to class, do the homework, and study/practice the notes/packets, you will excel. Overall, she is a stellar professor and all for the student's success in the classroom.

Tai was great. Had her for organic chemistry. Lectures sometimes were a lot but she does what she can to help you understand the concepts. You have to really study and practice for her tests if you want to do good in the class. She tries to apply the concepts to medicine/healthcare to help us understand better. Gives hw, quizzes, and worksheets.

Orgo itself is a difficult class, but Prof. Tai went over and beyond to effectively teach her students. This class does require daily practice which only helps you to do well on the exams. She is a wonderful lecturer and her office hours are super helpful. I highly recommend Tai to anyone who wants a solid understanding of Orgo! Love her.

Professor Tai is a sweetheart and she is really caring. She tries to make the class fun by being funny or relating things to the real world. The class itself was pretty hard, but not impossible. You just have to work for your grade and always stay on top of things. It's just a lot of memorization. She said she never failed anybody in bio orgo.
