Comment:

Is an awful teacher. Does easy problems for notes, gives easy homework questions, and then puts stuff on the quizzes/ tests never seen before. Also is hard to understand. However, he is a good guy.

Comment:

Hilarious guy. If you pay attention and attend classes, you shouldn't have much of an issue. Does pretty well at getting students to understand the concept (why you are doing something) rather than just memorization. Don't take if you get annoyed easily, but for the majority of people he is a fantastic teacher.

Comment:

Prof. Lui is a great guy, his tests are hard but he is a wonderful teacher and very willing to help out anyone who needs it. I had heard that he was an awful teacher prior to taking his class, but when I actually sat in his classroom as a student I found that he's great, and he LOVES what he does, which is sometimes hard to find.

Comment:

Prof. Lui is a really funny guy - I thoroughly enjoyed all of his lectures. He's good at providing clear explanations during class - you just have to pay attention. If you pay attention in class, work on the homework early, and go to him if you have questions you should be okay. He tends to cover material quickly so make sure to go to class!

Comment:

Roger Lui is a straight savage. His lectures are filled with awkwardly placed jokes which lands him a 5/5. The example questions in class are basically your exam. Even if you pay minimal attention in class, you should still pass with an A. If not you should strongly reconsider becoming an engineer. If he learns your name be prepared to be called on

Comment:

I had no clue what we were doing at any point in the class. I did all homework and studying based on the few examples he gave. Very hard to understand and random. His jokes were funny, or at least the timing of them made them funny because they were so out of the blue. Only went to class because of the clicker quizzes.

hilarious professor but tough grader, and can be very confusing at times. homework didn't come in accordance with the teaching. Sometimes even forgot what he said previously and made things worse

Comment:

Professor Lui was an okay professor but great guy. Homework and quizzes are really easy and only gives one exam that was super easy. Only thing I felt unprepared for was the Common final at the end of the year. Overall, super funny guy but not the best professor. Also has clicker questions so you have to show up to class for those.

Comment:

Doesn't go into a lot of detail but is very funny and exams made by him are very fair. Questions are basically set up the integral so if you know what you're doing its a easy A on tests if you study. Doesn't throw curve ball questions which is really nice! Common final is the only reason i might not get an A. Really funny though .

Comment:

Prof Lui is a funny guy during class and off class. His lectures are sometime hard to follow, thus it's strongly recommended to do the optional homework on textbook. Optional homework helps you understand his lecture materials, and it's super helpful on quizzes and exams! Not a hard class but requires works.

Comment:

Roger is a really nice guy and teach things pretty well. He deserves a higher score than only 3 in this website. Participation is extra credit. 2 exams, 4 quizzes, and 5 webwork is all the thing that matter to your grades. You can do very well as long as you finish all the homework he assign. Webwork is super hard but will not be in exam )

Little hard to understand what he's saying, but he works hard to make sure you get the material . If you have questions do ask him. Great class layout with conferences. Do go to conferences. Conferences helped refine what lui covered in class.

Comment:

Roger Lui is a terrible professor, and here's why I would never recommend him to another student. His teaching in lecture is unbelievably confusing. When questions are asked, more often than not the class is left more confused than before. There is no partial credit in this class. Professor is straight up rude to students during office hours. 0/10

Spends all his time on derivations or examples without actually explaining anything. Rarely gave partial credit on exams. Gets side-tracked easily and just talks to you about random stuff instead of helping during office hours.

Comment:

Rog was hilarious! Very kind professor, sometimes calls students out for no reason at all, but is all in good fun. Wants you to ask questions and go to office hours. If you do , he will remember you for the rest of the term. Very enthusiastic and into what he is doing. Homework is manageable, and tests are pretty easy if you STUDY (it's a thing!).
