Reviews of professor Terry Ng

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you need to take chem, take it with Dr. Ng.  He is passionate about what does, and it shows.  He explains things very well.  2 practice exams are given for every test and the final, exactly like the actual tests.  I struggled at the beginning of this class, but I actually like chemistry now.

Fall 2023: Dr. Ng is an excellent, caring, and diligent professor. He simplifies complex concepts and prioritizes student welfare. He offers office-hours during and/after labs and outside of class, and schedules virtual ones as needed. He aims for a stress-free class environment.

He is really flexible and will work with you to ensure that you succeed in his class. Communicates well. Labs are also straightforward and he will help you understand what you aren't doing correctly if needed. Overall very clear on what he expects, and clearly just wants his students to succeed. Would recommend.

Honestly such a great professor and has amazing sense of humor. Gives insight to how UCs would teach this material and knows his stuff well. You can ask the most random questions and he will answer with such specific details and tell you how you can prepare for Ochem. Great resources. Super accessible and super understanding!

Just the best!! Super straightforward, only holds you accountable to what he's gone over. two practice exams super similar to the actual midterm. made it all so easy and simple that you'd have had to put in more work to fail than to get an a. lectures were all recorded. super helpful with the lab work. came early stayed late to help students out.

Best chem teacher hands down. Provides all the resources you need to prepare for the test. I was afraid that I was going to struggle in this class, but I was wrong. You don't have to take notes during the lecture because he posts the annotated lecture in Canvas which you can look back to. the exams are very similar to the 2 practice exams he gives.

He tries to break it down to make it easier. He does assign A LOT of assignments, it does become overwhelming. But they help buffer the results of your test scores. Lectures are sometimes confusing because he will mention stuff from more advanced classes and then say "You don't need to know this." He is very accessible outside of class

Professor Ng is great! He genuinely cares about the well-being of his students and just wants to see them succeed. He understands that everyone has different learning strengths and abilities and that life happens. He tried his best to break down and explain the material based on the students' needs. CHEM is a hard course, use his office hours!
