Vaso was really sweet and cared about her students but was not great at lecturing. I found myself unengaged and it was hard to focus bc she was kind of all over the place. Her tests weren't too difficult and she had a lot of office hour availability. She came to class every morning on her bike which was awesome and she always had amazing outfitsCHEM1161 2026-07-21 22:15:45 +0000 UTC
Prof Vaso is really sweet and understanding but all over the place in her lectures. She tends to go on tangents and is not the best at explaining things. She is always willing to go over things in office hours and super commodating.CHEM1211 2026-06-25 16:46:12 +0000 UTC
she was amazing so surprised how low her rating is her test is literary have questions from slides and she walks you through everything doesn't rush content, gives you amazing practice and exams very doable if you practiced enough and gives bunch of points back.CHM1214 2026-02-02 18:20:19 +0000 UTC
I had her for gen chem 1 and 2 so I knew her teaching style. She's pretty disorganized and hard to follow throughout lecture. She's a very nice person though.CHEM1214 2025-12-16 16:21:44 +0000 UTC
This class was difficult bc of her teaching style, not bc of the content. It was really hard to know what was going to be on the exam bc the “study guide” is just a list of all the topics. It was hard to understand and pay attention in class so I ended up teaching myself everything. She does polleves in class for attendance. Don't recommend.CHM1211 2025-05-12 20:06:07 +0000 UTC
Genuinely wants to see her students succeed. If you put in the work you will get an A.CHEM1151 2022-05-14 04:35:35 +0000 UTC
Only professor I ever had who spend so much time making sure students know the material. Go to class, do the homework and make sure you finish the discussion assignments.1211 2015-09-15 06:48:07 +0000 UTC
She's not bad but she is EVERYWHERE. lectures aren't oragnized, and are confusing. But offers numerous extra credit assignments and test corrections! So, you should be able to pass, but make sure you review content. She requires you to complete polleverywhere, which is based on attendance, so be sure to show up!CHEM1161 2026-04-16 21:47:14 +0000 UTC
she's a very sweet person and wants you to succeed. however, she is a very scattered professor. SELF-STUDY. SELF-STUDY!!! you have to study if chemistry doesn't come to you like breathing. do the recitation problems and the problems on the slides and you'll be set for most of the exams. lots of easy points so that's very nice but still study!!!!!!!CHEM1211 2026-04-27 02:14:54 +0000 UTC
Vaso is a horrible prof. She was very disorganized and didn't know how to teach. She REALLY curved all exams. Easy A though.CHM1214 2017-06-11 01:27:50 +0000 UTC
This professor does not know how to teach, is incredibly disorganized, and is very rude to her students. probably bottom 3 professors I've ever had.CHEM1214 2025-12-09 22:13:04 +0000 UTC
The single least organized professor I have ever had. Explains things so many times that she did not cover all of the content scheduled in the course. Also, she requires buying a textbook that she wrote. The only positive thing I have to say is she is kind and offers extensions on all assignments.CHM1211 2025-04-17 22:25:31 +0000 UTC
Prof. Lykourinou is a solid choice for a professor. Her lectures may be boring, but attending lecture, doing homework, and going to office hours will get you the grade you want. In addition, she is a truly kind person who really cares about her students.CHEM1151 2022-01-31 02:08:10 +0000 UTC
I honestly made an account because I feel like the given ratings are quite harsh. I agree she's disorganized and her lectures are sometimes not the best, but she clearly cares about her students and in my opinion was very generous with grading and EC. Don't rely on the replacement policy to save you because the final is hard. Try your best!CHEM1161 2026-02-01 05:22:46 +0000 UTC
Pretty disorganized during lecture and you definitely have to teach yourself things outside of class. Was able to get a decent grade because of extra credit and homework assignments.CHEM1211 2025-04-24 02:08:25 +0000 UTC
