Comment:

Professor Chen is the best professor Western has to offer for the CIS department. Personally, he is one of my favorite professors of all time. He explains everything clearly, and more than once if need be. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He is an entertaining speaker, and will always make sure everyone understands.

Although sometimes I wondered how the software we were using would actually relate to my life, I think Chen cares about his students and that the analytical skills gained from this course were beneficial.

He made the class as simple as it could be. One of the most helpful teachers I've ever had, if its possible, take this class with him.

Comment:

Pretty much the best professor of all time. Dr. Chen has a very engaging style of teaching... he'll go through lecture slides and examples, and then he'll have the students try the example. Assignments are lengthy, so don't wait until the day its due to start, but they are not difficult... getting an A is no problem if you put in the time.

Comment:

He is a good teacher. If you do not understand programming, he breaks it down and makes it easier to just follow what he says. A little hard to understand him though.. I failed because of attendance, even though all my homework I would get an A on... But if you are a hard worker, you should do fine in this class.

Very good teacher! He will help you during his office ours and explain everything very well if you just ask for help. Easy to understand and makes sure that you always understand what he is teaching. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about taking any of his classes.

Comment:

Good Professor, sometimes hard to understand, but generally nice guy and very easy going and understanding of student's problems. This is a plus or a minus depending on your POV, but both times I had him we only made it about 50% of the way through the syllabus -- slow pace.. and depending on POV, over explains or explains "Just right" :)

Da Uah What -- We used to sit in class and count how many time he said each of those words. When he talks he randomly inserts them in his sentences in a very funny way. He said What 137 times in 45 minutes once. Easy grader, hard to pay attention.
