While he is sometimes hard to understand, he really is a brilliant guy. It is a must when you take this class to go to office hours. The TAs and professor are helpful, they help you get to the answer from the knowledge that you have. He is also understanding about situations, he wants his students to succeed. If you put in the effort you will pass.Rate My Professors ↗

Song Jin is a researcher, not a professor. He is a very intelligent man but he is an awful teacher. The class itself is unorganized, the lecture and lab should be 2 separate classes as each require 8 hours a week, and the homework and tests ask you to go way above and beyond anything you're taught. This class made me decide to not be a chem major.Rate My Professors ↗

He seems to enjoy to topic and like teaching it. He usually procrastinates on assigning homework, so deadlines will come quickly. He'll extend them if enough students express distress, though. The group project will be explained very poorly, though. Plan well and make sure you pick your group wisely. Exams are reasonable and homework based.Rate My Professors ↗

Amazing professor. Yes, his tests can be tough and he can be confusing at times. But labs and homeworks aren't that hard, and his thick Asian accent really helps break things up! He is very helpful if you ask him for help. Great, quirky guy, who really makes Chemistry a lot of fun!Rate My Professors ↗

He is not helpful-he would not answer my questions. Professor Jin is an intelligent man who knows chemistry, but he can't explain it in lecture. His lectures largely consist of him mumbling at the board under his breath.Rate My Professors ↗
