Comment:

Doctor Dang gives a ton of free extra credit. She also provides you with sample tests that were actually real tests from the previous semesters to study off of. If you study them, you will do very well on the exams. Theres no reason anyone should get lower than a B. Easy A if you turn in all your assignments, pay attention, and go to class.

Comment:

Dr Dang gives tons and tons of extra credit opportunity. This is because her tests are designed so that the majority of students will get a C. If she didn't give so much extra credit, I think a lot of people would be failing. While she is very nice and very accessible, she wasn' very helpful. She suggested I retake the class when I complained.

Comment:

Tests for this class are incredibly difficult. While other professors will tell you that they won't create questions on exams to trick you, prof Dang is the opposite. Every question has a trick. Lecture is impossible to follow which means you are essentially teaching yourself some pretty tricky material.

Comment:

Dr. Dang seems like a nice person and seems to love chemistry. In teaching, however, she breezes through and explains concepts as if she's speaking to someone who's already taken the course. Her provided notes are confusing and hardly coincide with the textbook. You have to decode the material outside class lol. I had no choice but to drop.

Comment:

Lecture is mind bogglingly confusing. provided notes don't follow the book and do little to explain the content. Tests are extremely difficult with the class averaging a failing grade according to canvas. Lots of extra credit, otherwise everyone would be failing. Dang has trouble relating to how students learn. get ready to teach yourself!

Comment:

I want to write a more positive review of Dr Dang, but I also want to be doing a lot better than I am in her class. Lectures dont help you understand the material. Tests are phenomenally difficult. If it wasnt for massive amounts of extra credit, id be failing. She makes a lot of mistakes. Count on an extra 5-10 points on every test due 2 mistake

Love Dr. Dang! This is not an easy course but she is helpful, funny and down to earth. I enjoyed having her for lecture and lab. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and really wants you to succeed in this class. I got a B and I felt that was what I earned.

The fact that I'm seating in her class right now, and writing this review because she is very confusing and unorganized, should tell you enough about her. (I got an A on the first Ochem)

Comment:

Too be fair, Chem 32 is just a hard class in general. I personally struggled during her lectures because of my lack of history with chemistry. Reply on other students, go to LAC center for free tutor help. Read the textbook. Enjoy the lab. Turn every assignment on time. She's such a nice lady but not my favorite teacher.

I got to say that this teacher is horrible. Although she is nice and has a great personality, the way she teaches is so tough. Does she curve grades at the end of the semester?

Comment:

Prof. Dang is very caring, and fair. You have to read the chapters before class, the subject is hard but she makes it easy. She gives so much extra credit that It is hard not to get an A on this class. In addition, exams are similar to homework questions. I am grateful for the great chemistry foundation this class gave me. She rocks!

Comment:

1) Do the book problems as needed copy the rest from the solution manual 2) DO EVERY SINGLE EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY SHE OFFERS (crucial) 3) All the answers to her handout assignments are online 4) Go to lecture and PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT SHE EMPHASIZES (tests/quizzes) 5) Review her chapter notes to find exceptions, extra things she adds/not in book

Comment:

I felt like between assigning all the problems in every single chapter as homework, the lack of organization and the absurdly difficult quizzes and test that I should hate Dr. Dang... but I actually love her. She is a total character and an incredibly sweet and intelligent person. The bottom line with her class is keep your head down & stick it out

extremely unorganized! lectures are hard to follow, expect us to know the materials, doesn't go into details, does not follow the text book, her chapter notes are somewhat helpful, does not use the book, quizzes every week, test reviews are somewhat helpful, but always gives wrong answer key! never clear on due dates! lots of extra credit.

She's a great teacher ! The class is hard but she makes it interesting. The test are pretty hard if you don't study and attend the lecture. She doesn't take attendance but there is a lot to learn and I would not recommend missing class. I would recommend her !

Dr. Dang made me love Organic Chemistry. Lecture is interesting and very structured. I still use her notes for Biochemistry now. She is incredibly nice and wants her students to succeed. The exams are VERY tough, but she helps you prep for them. Many extra credit opportunities. If you are a dedicated student, you should have no problems at all.

Don't take this class if you are not expert with math. She has about 50 students in her class. she never explained well.
