Comment:
As a new college student, this class ripped me into pieces. However, it set a precedent and gave me objective to give me focus in life. Her attitude, I believe, comes from a place that our culture lacks a lot of discipline and few people take the time to understand the physical universe around them. While I dropped her class, I am now a chemist.

She definitely doesn't come off as the nicest person but if you do you work work and study for the exams, it's not too bad. Review all her notes and corresponding chapters in the text.

She's definitely isn't the nicest teacher in the world. She will quiz you once a week (I always bombed them). The tests are very hard and there was always something on each one that I had no idea how to do. I managed to squeeze by with a C (a grade I rarely get!).

I do agree she is very hard teacher. You ask A question she will respond like you are an idiot.there was one time whn everyone did bad on her quiz and she was furious. she wanted to either slap you or scream at you. it was bad. i think she should retire. im not sure why she is so mean and angry at students all the time. i hv hardly saw her smile

Comment:
She substituted once for my teacher during the summer, and it is true, if u ask her a ? she gives attitude like u are STUPID. She graded about half of our labs over the summer, and she just crosses out whole sections w/o any explanation, giving a C/D on most labs, takes off TOO many points for small mistakes. TAKE NEWBURG OR SISTER NIKEIL (sp? !!

Proceed at your own risk! She is the worst teacher I've ever had. If you take her class, you'll certainly drop by midterm or get a "C". Impolite and very disrespectful! If you have a little self-steem, do not take her!

Comment:
i took this class right after high school and i really had a hard time with it. she expects you to read the book and know what she's talking about all the time. she is very strict. She is smart and knows a lot about chemistry. she wasn't mean to me because i always ask for help and i was pregnant when i was in her class.

Comment:
Never ever take her, she is very rude. if you ask her a question during a class, you are done, she will insult you right away. she has no mercy toward anyone. She is really hard. In the first semester out of 50 students, only 10 barely passed. I would recommend sister Karen or Dr. Newburg for this class, but not Shih. She is a *****.

Comment:
Don't expect to slack off in her class. she says she gives pop quizes once a week but it's mostly been twice a week. she's nice when you talk to her in her office but when you talk to her during class she'll make you feel stupid. she gives you the evil eye too. she doesn't even finish a problem when you ask her to do one.

Comment:
It's the hardest class I had at COD. 1552 is a hard course but she made it harder then it should be. U had an hour to do her tests that were designed for a 2 hour class. That included multiple choice, vocab, an essay question and the 10 hardest problem solving questions by the book plus 5 that the book didn't teach. Ask her for help, or fall short.

Comment:
Her knowledge of chemistry is without question. My feeling is that she has forgotten what an intro student *doesn't* know. She has forgotten how to reach for a student. She presents material, one time, one way, and that is it. It isn't teaching, it is simply presenting material. The tests are highly unfair, and her attitude? "Students are a bother"

Like everyone else has said here, Chemistry is not an easy course and you'll definatly need to study hard. Unfortunatly this professor wont help you out in class. if you ask ANY question she'll just make you feel stupid and you'll never want to ask anything ever again. Her tests are hard as hell and without any curves, avoid her if possible!!!
