Comment:

Dr. Cheng is a really great professor. Definitely take notes and ask questions about the equations or anything you don't understand. I take notes in the comment section of the ppts he provides. Quizzes and exams are MC and he tells you what to study. He teaches the content of 340, but he also teaches you about humility, honesty, and respect.

Best professor at WSU. He is so helpful and the class is fun. A quiz at the beginning of every class. 2 tests and a comprehensive final. 2 written assignments. Tests could be difficult but he curves a lot!! Understand the material and you will be fine.

He is amazing as a human being! HIs exams are very tough but he curves a lot!! And he allows you to not take the final if you are fine with your grade. He is international but he is probably the best international professor I had in Wichita. I recommend him !

Dr. Cheng is one of the best teachers I've had. He comes across as a person as well as an instructor. I had to go to his office hours frequently to understand the material, but he was always more than willing to help. He covers a lot of information and has high expectations, but he helps you through it if you ask.

Dr. Cheng is an amazing professor and I learned so much by taking his upper level ECON 672 class that I decided to sign up for ECON 340 pre session to get an optional minor in Economics before graduating. His lectures are fantastic and interesting to listen to, and he challenges you a lot. Tests are extremely difficult, but there's a nice curve.

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable. But his class is very hard especially if you are a full time student. His class is so time demanded that you don't even have time to the other class. This is given by the fact that this class is a short term (2 months) and the lectures are so broad that he always want to cover several stuffs

Comment:

It was one of my best class in WSU because he was very knowledgeable, interesting and makes students to engage in the class discussion. He uses powerpoints and there's no book. His quizzes are easy if you attend class everyday but tests are hard and you really have to put effort in them. He makes students challenge economic theories.

Fun class,useful class, class for the top students,great professor.You will learn alot in this class.Every business student in WSU should take this class. In my opinion,he is the best professor in WSU. But,it is hard to get an A in this class,he maintains a standard for the economics department.If you are competitive and likes to learn, take it.

Pre-session. Hard class, and test are very hard. If you go to class everyday take the quizzes and try your best you will get a good grade. Very interesting stories, and is willing to help you succeed in his class. His curve is really helpful in getting a good grade also. I got a 61 Percent and ended up with a B.

He is the best teacher ever. Extremely knowledgeable. Good story teller. He makes sure everyone understands what he is explaining. Hardest class of Econ in Wichita State University. His project and exams are challenging and one has to work hard. He is the kind of teacher for who you wanna put in your 100%. Very kind hearted and easily approachable.

Comment:

If u r dumb and lazy, don't take his class. Dr.Chen is the most helpful professor ever.But even so, class itself is pretty hard. U need to do a lot to get an A. Show up every class, pay attention, ask questions, review ur notes all the time, then u will do fine. Definitely recommend for those who really wants to learn something.
