Comment:

Probably one of my favorite professors ever. It's amazing witnessing his lectures - you can clearly see his passion for the subject. Discrete Math is a hard class but he makes it easy with his clear lectures and formulaic tests. Seriously. He tells you what problems will be on the test in some form or another. Inspirational.

Comment:

Eddie Cheng is the best professor I have had at Oakland so far. He gives students every chance to pass the class, and gives bonus checkmarks in class for participation (which makes lectures extremely fun). If you don't take Eddie Cheng, you're missing out on a wonderful instructor. Discrete Math is challenging but his lectures are well thought out.

Comment:

Funny professor who teaches a very hard subject with ease. His lectures are interesting but he moves fast so take notes. Get the book. Grades only from tests which are hard but he will curve. Gives you every chance to succeed. If you need help GO to his office hours it really helps. He is BY FAR the best professor to take for this difficult course.

Eddie Cheng is a great professor and makes all the lectures fun to go to. He gives bonus check marks which help out at the end of the year and tells you exactly what you need to know for tests because he wants you to pass. He's hilarious and makes you want to pay attention. I highly recommend this professor.

Oakland's math department is quite possibly the worst in the state, but Eddie Cheng is the probably the only professor there that genuinely cares about his students and has the skills to help them learn. I'd take him in for every math class if I could,.

Eddie Cheng saved my gpa. I took this class in the fall of 2016 and failed with a 0.0 Took it again with Cheng and got a 3.0 This man is a modern day hero. You know what they say, not all heroes wear capes. Well this hero wears Louis Vuitton belts and floral shirts with some fresh Nike's. Also, go to office hours. You get free stuff from him

Comment:

He basically tells you what is on each exam. Extremely easy but you won't learn anything. You never have to open the textbook, just memorize your notes. I got a 4.0 by memorizing proofs. That sounds nice but it's a waste of time. If you care about learning and being a good mathematician, his classes won't promote that. I feel a bit cheated.

Besides his subpar handwriting and slightly unorganized notes, I really loved having Professor Cheng. Would definitely take him again.

Comment:

One of my favorite professors at Oakland. Took him for both MTH 275 and APM 263. Make sure you go to all of his lectures as they are VERY IMPORTANT if you want to pass. He'll drop hints at random as to what questions in specific he'll put on the tests. Also make sure you go to the review before the tests, as they are super helpful.

He was a great professor. Hes able to understand and knows what hes teaching and can make the lectures fun. Hes a funny guy and integrates that into some of his lectures as well. If you don't know whats going on in a class meet with him in his office hours, they will help. He does teach math so his classes are difficult so man up and do the work!

Comment:

He's the bomb from his lecture style to his floral shirts and neon shoes. He tells you everything that will be on the test during the lectures- so don't miss. He does not care about attendance but uses "bonus checkmarks" to see who's coming to class. The checkmarks are later used for curving the class. AGAIN: DO NOT MISS CLASS.

Taking Eddie's class was a cathartic experience, and has inspired me to better myself and the world around me. Or something like that. Either way, Eddie is a great professor. His classes aren't necessarily easy, but he's easygoing and always willing to provide guidance.

Eddie is the best professor you can have for this class. If you skip lecture you probably won't pass because the test questions are from his lectures. Probably the best professor I have ever had.

Comment:

One of my favorite math professors at OU. Very easy to follow despite the topics not being simple, and always willing to clarify if you ask questions. You NEED to attend lectures. I never even bought the book. Every test and quiz is based on things he does in lectures. He gives sample exams which are VERY similar to the real exams.

I've experienced Eddie Cheng's mathematical wizardry 3 times now, and each time has been more magical than the previous. Also, I ran into him at the mall once, so that was neat. Take his classes.

Comment:

Lectures are long, as usual in math. Ask questions! He usually explains okay, but you might not get it the first time. He is very helpful in and out of class. Pass the final you pass the class. You HAVE to attend class though, as he looks at your effort, notes aren't posted, and he also explains what you need to know for the tests in detail.

Comment:

If you skip class you will fail. There is no online posting of notes. What you are able to write down in the class is ALL you have to study. I hated discrete math but I still managed to get a 4.0 on the tests by cramming the night before them. If I didn't take good notes and attend every lecture I would have failed the class.
