Reviews of professor Candy Hwang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She's nice but taught like you already knew it all. Just study a lot. I learned more from my recitation professor than her (my lecture professor).

Candy brings enthusiasm and opportunity. Chemistry has a lot of material, so there can be a little disorganization inherent to that. However, it's easy to see that she really loves what she is teaching, and she provides lots of help in the form of videos, recommended questions, readings, extra credit. Maybe less group work though...

shes a nice person but a bad professor. if chemistry doesnt come to you naturally do not take her. she responds to questions as if you should already know and her open ended questions on the practice exam are nothing like the real exam. she makes things more complicated than they are.

Professor Hwang is very knowledgeable in chemistry and does her best to create a positive atmosphere for learning.

I was 20 mins late to lab cuz there was bad traffic. usually if ur more than 15 mins late she won't check ur prelab notebook. she was late that day too so i was only 10 mins late. i came in right before notebook check. she got to my table and skipped me. i get penalized for being late yet it's ok if she is. gave me a 0 for that notebook.

She's all over the place if you ask me. Not organized, moves too fast. She teaches as if the class is supposed to know everything already. Kinda rude & has a sarcastic attitude when you ask her too many questions. Not very helpful. Had to figure out most of my questions online or with tutoring. Avoid taking her for lecture or lab if you can.

Overall horrible teacher. DO not take her especially if you need to be actually taught chemistry, she just expects you to understand without explanation

Prof Hwang is great. Wish we did less group work, but she knows her stuff, she's bubbly and enthusiastic, she's caring and willing to work with you for you to succeed. Great.

Super nice person, but terrible as a professor. Lectures are all over the place and do not help gain understanding of material. The course itself is difficult and it does not help having a disorganized professor who spends every lecture forcing group work. Teaches as though you already know what she's talking about. See a tutor to pass

Professor Hwang creates a learning environment that allows every student to succeed. She provides you with her lecture slides, a textbook, and a note packet. She will answer and review anything in lectures to make sure you understand it and is accessible outside of class also. This class relies on individual responsibility though.
