Reviews of professor Gidget Tay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Im so bummed to see Tay not have better reviews. She is amazing! Ochem is hard but she is clear and concise in her lectures, and shes friendly and approachable. Her class is so well-organized and she makes herself available for help more than any other teacher I have had. Take her for ochem!

I took Dr.Tay for both Chem 8A and 8B, and she is easily one of my favorite professors at PCC! Surely, Dr.Tay is not an easy professor and her teaching style might not be it for some students but it clicked well for me. Her office hours are helpful and a great way to make sure you understand the materials, so take advantage of it.

She knows how to teach. She explains things well enough to be understood. She takes her time to work on problems. You need to know your chemistry well for this class and beyond if you choose to stay in chemistry.

Ruthless in the sense that she only does things to make it easier for herself, especially during the pandemic, which is not conducive to learning. She really doesnt care much about student learning Students beware if you get assigned to this professor

Dr.Tay is an amazing lecturer who tries her hardest to help students succeed. She is fair, grades super fast (you will get your exam scores next day), and gives out challenging quizzes/exams. She also sacrifices a lot of her personal time to be as accommodating as possible. Utilize her office hours, read ahead, and ask questions to get an A.

Not understanding and encouraging at all. Grading is not transparent especially with quizzes. She grades really harshly on lab reports, takes off points from pre lab, where you have to just copy. She has impossible expectations on students who are not experts like her. Gets mad if you miss the class. Very unprofessional and immature.

This class is challenging with anyone, but she clearly genuinely cares about you and your success, which sets her apart from so many others. Her notes help a lot and she really wants you to understand the material, and she leaves a lot of feedback for you. There is a lot of extra credit for textbook problems. It'll be tough, but she will be there.

Dr. Tay could easily be one of the best professors I've ever had at PCC. She really cares about students' mental well-being and reaches out when students are having trouble. Also very forgiving, can ask about anything and everything during labs, and will give you details immediately. I couldn't be more grateful, take her 8A/B while you can.

Tay is a caring prof that cares more about you learning the material than you getting a good grade in her class. If you want a good grade with minimal effort do not take her. If you want to be prepared for future Ochem courses she's a great choice. Lots of quality office hours. Good person. I put 5 b/c she needs her total mean score higher. I put 4
