I'm gonna submit this eval before I get my grade cuz I want to be as honest as I can. I had Dr. Lam for Chem 30B and 30C. He is a difficult professor, but he is very caring, available, concerned for his students. Of all the professors I have had in my life, Dr. Lam is by far, the most outstanding and best overall. Take him if you want to actually learn organic chemistry, because he does make it look easy. I am really glad to have had him as a professor, especially for a difficult course like ochem. Regardless of my grade, I feel that Dr. Lam should definitely receive a standing ovation for the dedication he put into teaching us.

I had Dr.Lam for 30B and 30C. He is by far the most caring professor I have ever had in UCLA. He is very approachable and easy to talk to. His office hour always go overtime because he wants to stay there until there is no question. His practice exam is always harder than the actual exam. I guess the purpose of that is to make us study harder.

In terms of exams. If you study and you will do fine. His exams are fair, and allow us to answer based on what we learned.

Even though he is a postdoc, I hope that he will become a full time professor eventually because he makes ochem looks easy.

Personality: I haven't been to his Office, but he seems really nice and friendly. I have heard of many instances where students really got along with him as friends.
Accent: Pretty strong British accent, not very problematic.
Concerns: He is very concerned about students learning. He explains and answers all of students' questions on discussion board with extra graphics, etc.
Lecture style: For 14C, it was 100% based on PowerPoint. I understand sometimes it's hard to draw structures and listen to the lecture together. PowerPoint really helps.
Exam: I admit that his exams are a bit challenging. I got a good grade in class, so no bias. Don't worry because everyone will do bad, and he curves generously.
