Reviews of professor Dai Thai

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly this teacher is kinda terrible. Its only week 3 and shes already telling us she will be changing office hours because too many people are asking the same question, but like its online so its not like we know everyone is asking the same thing. She also rarely replies to emails. Lastly, very unorganized. Good luck teaching yourself!

Context: I am a high schooler who took this class because I wanted to refresh my skills to prepare me when I arrive at Berkeley's Chem department. Anyways, the tests weren't difficult in my opinion, if you do the homework & practice it's an easy A. The homework, on the other hand, takes a very long time to complete. Form a study group to succeed.

Avoid at all costs!! never responds to emails, unhelpful during office hours, grades work months later, also doesnt grade consistently meaning someone will get something marked wrong and another person who may have the same answer will get it marked correct. Will give long 5 page worksheets worth only 10 points.

I took Thai's 6-week online summer course and it was ROUGH. You have to learn from very long power points, no videos. Homework was due about every 2-3 days that involved pages upon pages. Most points will come from weekly quizzes, tests, and your final. Thai herself seemed nice. She responds fast to emails and wants to help you in any way.

I do not recommend taking this class. The Prof. is very unorganized. She does not provide a lot of materials to better help you understand. PPTs are not helpful so be prepared to do your own research. Gives a lot of homework that takes more than 2 hours a night to do. There are questions on the quizzes that was not part of the study material.

Did not enjoy taking this course. Released homework weekly (no ability to work ahead) then released a module late forcing us to play catch up. Took way too long to respond to emails (weeks, some never answered). No feedback on assignments. Class averaged C- on the final, don't expect any help from the professor. This was my 1st college chem class.

This class is difficult for someone w/ no chem background (in which case, take an in-person course). But if you're able to learn by doing lots of practice problems, this class is just fine. 6 quizzes+3 exams+13 worksheets+final in summer. Labs can be confusing but just use common sense & read everything carefully. PPT lectures are mediocre quality.

Would not recommend unless you are good at working independently and can grasp concepts when doing your own research based on the chapter and topic of the week. Read the chapter to understand her PPT lectures. PPT slides are not as helpful and can be confusing. Gives lots of homework and quizzes/exams. Expect that some questions may be a surprise.
