Comment:

Dr. Loh is a great teacher who makes the class active and entertaining. She has high expectations and goes in depth farther than other chem 104 teachers but she gives you all the resources needed to do well in the class and while challenging, it ultimately prepares you better for future chem classes. Chem 104 is not easy regardless of the professor

Comment:

The material is taught at a quicker pace, she expects that you remember everything you did in 103, but also gives you a cheat sheet for reference. Although this class is tough, her problem sets and sample problems are comparable to what is on the exam. Do the practice tests she does online. You also get a 4x6 notecard front and back. USE IT!

Comment:

This was, without a doubt, the hardest course I've yet taken. Her tests are 2.5 hours of content for a 2 hour test, each question is multi-part, and easily twice as hard as the problem sets. Still, Dr. Loh is very personable and a great lecturer. I would advise everyone NOT a chemistry major to take a different instructor; she'll only hurt your GPA

If you are not a chemistry major I would advise against taking this class. IT WILL LOWER YOUR GPA. Tests are insanely long for amount of time allowed. Professor Loh is a good professor and willing to help but class is insanely difficult.

Dr. Loh moves insanely fast when taking notes, but she is extremely approachable. In order to do well you need to know your notes backwards and forwards because exams are hard and questions are tricky.

Comment:

First, Dr. Loh is brilliant, nice, and willing to help. She's a good teacher and lectures are clear but fast. HOWEVER, if you're not awesome at algebra or a stellar chem major, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! I'm a mostly A student, but I worked hard to get a C in her class. Exams are ludicrous and way too long. Unless you're a stud, she will hurt your GPA.

Best professor I have ever had at UWL. I wished she taught ever chemistry course offered. Extremely helpful especially if you go to her office hours. Exams are reasonable study and pay attention in class and you will do fine. Definitely take her makes material easy to understand and very approachable!

Comment:

I had Dr. Loh only for lab. Her quizzes were very hard compared to the other lab instructors, and she always find little places to take point off on assignments, but she is very helpful when you ask. She learned all of our names by the second lab and will always return quizzes and work by the next lab. Even though tricky, not a bad choice for lab

Love this professor. Really got to know each students and wants to help. Funny class to attend sometimes, attendance isnt mandatory, yet you basically need to get in order to get an A. exams are decent, not too hard if you study a couple days before

Dr. Loh is awesome. She will answer any questions you have and explain the same concept to you 5 times over if needed. Chemistry isn't easy, but if you GO and pay attention, you'll do just fine because she is very thorough in lecture. She allows a notecard on tests which is a LIFESAVER

Definitely recommend her. She's not the easiest teacher out there, but if you do the problem sets and actually go to class and PAY ATTENTION, you'll do well. She's nice and extremely helpful. Prepares you well for the future

just do the problem sets immediately after class each day so you remember what they're asking and everything is familiar. the tests are long and yes you have to study 5-20 hours per test. but this is college. get used to working. loh is an awesome teacher. she can be unclear at times, but i definitely recommend! shes not impossible.

RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CHEMISTRY MAJORS!!!!! She will give all chem majors a good base before advancing to higher level chem's. Very clear, very helpful to all, and will always answer questions. Test are not that hard, don't take the reviews to seriously. Go to class and discussions, take the problems sets seriously, and you will be just fine!

I had her for lab. Always had questions. Always had quizzes. The quizzes were really hard. She finds so many ways to mark of points, even on data sheets. I'm getting an A or AB in lecture and probably a C in lab.

She does an awesome job explaining concepts and is always extremely willing to answer any questions. However, her ridiculous exams lower her overall worth. I only finished 1 of the 6 exams in this class. She makes them way too hard and way too long for the given time. Plus, the problem sets are about 5 pages (front+back) but only worth 10 points.

Comment:

Way harder than the other CHM 104 professors. The main problem being that her tests are simply too long. She also fell way behind the lab schedule which made it much more difficult to do well in the labs.

She is very smart and really interested in chemistry. She is approachable and has a nice sense of humor during lecture. However, her tests are hard and written to take the entire time of the class, making you feel rushed; although, she lets you use a notecard.

Comment:

She talked very fast, but was always at her office hours and most of the time eager to help. As long as you work the extra problem sets and tests on D2L before a test you should do well. Working with a group was a must to succeed. problem sets were extremely difficult to do alone.
