Reviews of professor Dong Hee Son

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't take Dong if you want someone to teach you the material. There are iclicker questions every class, so there's not really an option to skip. Didn't learn a single thing from the lectures, Khan Academy videos are the only reason I passed this class.

Do anything in your power to not get him, he doesn't explain anything about what'll be on the quiz and the exam except for obviously what the units are, goes over practice problems like we are the smartest chem people ever, and makes units way harder than they actually are, over explains and overcomplicates things which makes it confusing anduseles

He turned out the be a great professor. Everyone clapped for him when he walked in every class. His lectures are very helpful if you follow along, take notes, and do the practice problems with him. Make sure to do the iclicker. Homework is a lot but its really helpful for the biweekly quizzes (which are tough), midterm, and the final.

Professor Son is a cool guy but he SUCKS at teaching. I couldn't tell what was and wasn't important in the lectures due to his monotonous tone. I know that there are other reviews that say everyone loved him, but we all clapped ironically. The midterm and final make up 45% of the grade, the quizzes are hard so study for them. Attendance counts.

Very bad, His lectures were boring and didn't talk about the topics that were on the test.

Dr. Son is a great man and a passionate chemist, he is not the best teacher but had a very fun class. Would not take again, but everyone loves Dr. Son

I would avoid taking Dr. Son if you can. He barely teaches the content, and sometimes admits that he doesn't know it, and then makes us do an iClicker question over the same content. I haven't learned anything in a single lecture, and have been teaching myself the content. The only reason I gave a 2/5 is because he's at least passionate about Chem.

Was probably a decent teacher but it was hard to pay attention and I just ended up learning everything from the internet and only showed up for the mandatory iclickers.

Dr. Son, while a good person, did not teach the class very well. It seemed like Dr. Son would try his best to teach us the content we needed, but he wasn't able to actually teach that knowledge to us very well. I will not be taking any more of his classes and I would avoid him for CHEM-107 if you can.

Dr. Son was ok, he wasn't really good at lectures and skipped through a lot of things without doing practice on certain concepts. Did lecture quizzes, gave a decent bit of extra credit, so those were good grade boosters. I'd recommend other professors just because they go into depth on the concepts compared to Dr. Son.
