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 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
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
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
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
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
Her tests are super easy people just don't like her because her lectures are hard. She was great her final was a little tricky but it impacted my grade slightly. She gives so much extra credit and her resources are great.CHEM1161 2026-01-21 20:46:15 +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
Well-educated but struggles to teach effectively. Disorganized, unclear in instruction, and needs to improve classroom management and communication.CHEM1211 2025-04-17 02:30:09 +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
Vaso is kind and approachable outside of class, though her lectures can feel boring and her exams are challenging. Homework is more manageable, and she offers generous extra credit. To succeed, stay on top of assignments, attend review sessions or office hours, and supplement studying with YouTube chemistry videos.CHEM1161 2026-01-06 09:39:11 +0000 UTC
DO NOT TAKE THIS WOMAN IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. She's so rude to her students, doesn't answer questions and blames us for things that SHE DOES. Listening to her lectures makes me even more confused about chemistry so it's basically worthless. oh and her tests have nothing to do with the material she gives/ you learn in class.CHEM1214 2024-04-29 03:05:14 +0000 UTC
