Reviews of professor Shuvasree Ray

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Ray is very kind and obviously wants her students to succeed. It's very hard to find time in office hours to speak with her because it's always full of students asking pointless questions just to be able to get a rec letter from her, but that's not her fault. Her practice exams often didn't reflect the difficulty of the actual exams.

Dr. Ray is an amazing professor. She truly cares about you an your progress with the course. She makes an inherently difficult class much easier and enjoyable. I wouldn't even think about taking any other professor. If you take good notes during the lecture and do the practice at home you will be successful.

Dr. Ray is a highly respected and loved professor in the Chemistry departments at Portland State. She has a talent of explaining concepts in a very straightforward easy to understand way. However, it does not mean that you do not have to work in your class. She is giving her 100% and so should you.

Dr. Ray is undoubtedly my favorite chemistry professor. She is very down to earth and acknowledges her struggles as a student. She gives very good insights on how to be a successful student and do well in the subject. Attend lectures, ask questions, attend office hours, and practice problems, you will do great in the course.

Dr. Ray is great! I loved the class. She writes a lot during class and it is cursive, so sometimes challenging to read, however, it is very detailed and I like it much more than reading from a powerpoint. Lectures are recorded and posted. Dr. Ray and her TAs are always available outside class and via email to help.

Amazing lecture notes that are perfect study guides. Her handwriting is fine! She gives notes slow/verbatim. Gives helpful extra practice work. Great office hours, very receptive and encouraging. Teaching style reflects knowledge of how students best learn a difficult subject. Well organized online. This is the prof you want to take! She's awesome!

I totally loved this class and the professor. She puts in a lot of effort and expects the same from students. It is intense but I feel it will get me ready for MCAT. I wish the class was in person.

Dr. Ray is a very nice person, however she hand writes every lecture and more than a few times I've had to decode it for myself or fellow students. Her tests are most of the grade and are much harder than anything she'll go over during class.

Dr. Ray is a real gem. She is an amazing lecturer and I have learned a lot from her class. I am looking forward to a whole year of Ochem from her. Keep up with the course and develop everyday study habits to be successful in the class.
