Reviews of professor Michael Choi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I rarely rate professors or care to but genuinely if you have to take chemistry, and Michael has open seats, take him. Exceptional lecturer, clear, concise, and he made my least favorite (and most difficult) subject to me VERY digestible and easy. I luckily had lecture, lab, AND seminar with him so everything was very consistent.

Do not take this course. The professor simply reads off the slides that only cover the basic, general aspects of the topic. However, when it comes to exams and assignments, he asks extremely detailed and comprehensive questions. Moreover, his teaching abilities are lacking even during office hours when students seek clarification and ask questions.

Probably the worst professor in UCI. He can't teach and simply reads off the slides during lecture instead of explaining the concepts. Good luck if you take him because you're about to teach yourself. Also makes lecture mandatory by including iclicker quizzes

 Inconsistent due dates, terribly organized canvas page, and unprepared lecturer who is winging it every time he shows up to class

Choi is great. Most homework is just weekly online assignments due every Friday night. No textbooks.  He's nice and understanding. He doesn't make your life hard, but still teaches you the topic very well. He will always supply you with supplementary videos, practice tests, and review sheets for every exam and final. Also, no mandatory attendance.

Although the final was hard, Choi applies a big curve when grading. U will get an A with a total grade of 80%.

Do not take his class. If you have his class, please drop it as soon as possible. You will learn nothing in his class. You have to do self study, teaching yourself. He mainly focus on math extremely.

He's nice

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Heavy accent made it impossible to understand what he was saying and I learned nothing from him during lectures as they were not prepared well. Seemed like he just skipped through concepts and didn't know what he was doing. Tests were incredibly hard and there was a very low average for midterm and final.

He was a really good professor. I had him for lab, lecture, and seminar all three were good. He is a tough grader and will actually read your work even the lab homework. His tests are pretty difficult and you really need to study them but if you do then you're ok. If you miss a class you will struggle.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID TO LIE ON THIS SITE THAT HES GOOD I SWEAR. YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO TEACH YOU? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! ITS PRACTICALLY ALL SELF TAUGHT AND HE TESTS FREQUENTLY ON TOPICS YOU TAUGHT YOURSELF FOR LIKE TWO DAYS. ITS HARD CONTENT AS IT IS AND EVEN HARDER WHEN YOU HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF.
