Reviews of professor Kim Tu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her lectures are very fast-paced and can most of the time be confusing. The organic chemistry tutor will be your best friend. She is really nice and gives partial credit on tests/quizzes. But I would take another professor unless you are good at teaching the material to yourself.

I read her ratings before I took this course and thought maybe she wasn't too bad and it was the students. Wow was I wrong..She would watch soccer, online shopping, or gossiping/calling her friends in the middle of lab while students needed her help. Everything was accurate to her previous ratings. I did well but I had to teach myself everything.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews about her. Wait until you take chem180 with Laux. Honestly, she made it clear from the get-go what she expected of you and what you should do. She can be annoyed if you ask stupid questions ( understandable right, I mean have common sense). Other than that, she does care about your success.

I would not recommend taking her for any chemistry course. She does not prepare you well for exams. She's super inconsistent with grading, homework, and uploading material. she does not want to be there and acts irritated everyday. everyone was passionate in this course except Tu Kim.

Took Prof. Tu for fall in person, given she was pregnant she always attended class but she made you feel dumb for asking any question, she's snippy. Her tests were so hard even if you studied for hours, had lots of extra credit but wouldn't take her again at all.

She is smart! She gives such good lectures. Honestly, she is amazing. The course is manageable. The only bad side is that she is tired and if you ask stupid questions, she would answer with a question, which is ok. But I just genuinely asking. The answer keys sometimes is wrong. But she is smart, great! Take her if you want to learn

Not sure why she has so many negative reviews. Prof Tu had great lectures, provided extra credit and was pretty clear about what you had to study for exams and quizzes. As long as you actually study and practice, you'll be fine.

She gives great lectures, and you can tell she cares a lot. My only real complaint is the lecture notes on canvas aren't very helpful, so it's very important to pay attention and follow along during lectures. She explains chemistry in an interesting and comprehensive way and is a great teacher for anyone who struggled with high school chemistry.

Fast and confusing lectures, so I had to teach myself at home sometimes. Homework is usually due on Saturdays. She curves all of the tests(3 and 1 final) and grades homework by completion.
