Comment:

He's not hard to understand, but his explanations leave something to desire. If you figure out how to do the homework, the class is a breeze!

Good teacher. Not always the clearest explinations as they tend to get excessively legnthy. Overall a very good guy ... for a class that you're forced to take.

Comment:

Hard to understand. His examples are sometimes wrong. His code is ALWAYS wrong. I think he understands what he's doing. Too bad he can't explain it to anyone else.

Comment:

Incredibly, INCREDIBLY, unclear. Tries to be helpful, but he doesn't understand what you're asking, and you can't understand his response.

Comment:

Not a hard teacher. He's willing to help students outside of class time and usually responds to emails promptly. But when he teaches it's hard to understand him. Online notes help some, but he didn't post them until a few weeks later.

I found the class informative and Xia is knowledgable of the material and is willing to help. His teaching techniques though, are not the greatest.

Comment:

He wants you to understand the material, but doesn't communicate well at all. I skipped class just so I wouldn't get confused. Also I sent him 20 emails before he responded once. Something's got to be done about that.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. Most of the time I don't know what he is saying or talking about. Seems like he wants people to learn the material, but he just cannot teach, period. He doesn't explain things very well (if at all). Terrible.

USELESS. Can't understand him. Doesn't teach. Assignments are little more than busy work. Should be fired.

Comment:

You can't understand most of what he says. His examples are unclear and usually incorrect. He makes programs and homeworks due at midnight on fridays. Who does homework on a friday night? Oh yeah, and he almost never responded to emails I sent him.

Comment:

This lil funny chinese man is actually not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He is SO nice and extremely helpful so even if you don't understand the material in class it is still easy to get an A.

He responds to emails promptly, is willing to set aside help hours after 5pm, and helps until you have a complete understanding of the material.

Comment:

Drinking alcohol in this class would be the only thing that MIGHT make this course tolerable. Even then, though, I can't help but doubt it.
