Quarter: Winter 2023
Grade: A+
March 29, 2023

She is a moderately passionate lecturer. Her lectures are well prepared, and she is friendly when you talk to her.
The first few lectures were a bit rushed, especially those on conversion and probability. But the pace slowed down after the first midterm. There were two midterms and five homeworks, which were not very difficult. This class requires you to know some basic OChem (functional groups, isomers of polyisoprene).
I appreciate how the slides correspond to the book (which is on UCLA Library) but the slide derivations were appropriately condensed from the book. The book is helpful to supplement the slides. However, keep in mind that it was written from a more pure chemistry perspective, so there is more chemistry than needed for this class.
Overall, I would take her class again if I had to as she is an excellent teacher.

The TA, Pengju Shi, knows his stuff and he was very prepared during discussions. His slides are helpful reviews. He also graded the midterms very promptly and responded to emails quickly.

Amazing professor, really does her best to make the class manageable for all her students. Even including an optional extra credit paper on a guest lecturer. Exams are essentially what is lectured in class/homework. Grading from the TA is also the fastest I've ever experienced here a UCLA with exams graded and curved the same day. I took this class for one of my tech breadths and really enjoyed it.
