Reviews of professor Bei Cao

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Chemistry is a difficult class to begin with and professor Cao doesn't try to make it appealing or interesting. She does lectures everyday and instead of showing you how to do problems she wants other students to do them on the board. I found this to be lazy on her part. She's a smart person, I just believe teaching isn't her passion.

I would really recommend Professor Cao for chemistry lab since she gives exclusive videos that go over post-lab and they were really helpful. The tests were open lab notebook, so not bad. As long as you do the pre-/post-lab work, the answers should be there. She can be a little nit-picky about lab reports; make sure to read the rubric.

Professor Cao is good, her tests are hard and you have to do a majority of the work if you want to do well in the class. She offers a lot of practice material. Her office hours are helpful and she will also answer questions before and after class. She is a good professor to take if you want to pursue chemistry past Chem 1.

I like this professor. She does have a little bit of accent so if that bothers you don't take her. She responds to emails in a timely manner and she is kind. Do not miss the lab or you can be removed from the class.
