Comment:

Learn nothing in his class, copy everything from the textbook. Started with around 30 students, now about 12 students. Tough grader, he will take off many points for any small mistake. The thing is, he don't really care if you past or not, no reviews for his super hard exams. Worst professor I ever had.

Comment:

Prof. Chen is a great man, but a horrible professor. You will not learn a thing in his class. You are graded by 3 exams and a final all of which have 5 questions each worth 20points each. He also gives an optional exam if grades from the first 3 exams were bad. Just stay away at all cost.

Comment:

His lecture is just copying everything from textbook, no additional explanations. No review for test, and his test is extremely hard. The worst professor I ever had. If you think you can pay attention and get a good grade? you are wrong because you will learn nothing in his class. Avoid him!

Comment:

Extremely test heavy, infact, the grading criteria only includes tests, nothing else. Having a small mistake on the test will be heavily penalized, resulting in an extremely low grade on the test, which will translate heavily to your main grade. This professor knows the math, but is unable to verbalize it clearly leaving you confused half the time

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. (the tests are 5 Q 20 points each)(3 tests +1 optional +Final) He will not go over much of anything before tests. He will skip some parts when he's reading form the book and make a test question about it. He will knock you heavily for 1 small mistake. Do not take him, You Have Been Warned.

Copy everything off from textbook, lacks of explanation. Taking him? Get ready to watch Youtube videos and read textbook by yourself because you just can't learn anything from this pro. By the way he is a nice guy, but teaching is just not his thing. Terrible!

Comment:

Teaches straight out of the textbook, class will just be going over the examples in the book. Grading is simple, you get the average of what you received on your tests +1 point for each hw turned in. He gave my class a chance to drop our lowest grade with a makeup test. He isn't bad, if you can't handle constant homework I would avoid him though.

Comment:

90 percent students dropped out from his class, and the other percentage just made it through his class with a "just passing marks"! so be wise, don't take his class if you are not willing to give your needed time to do an extra work all by yourself in order to pass this class or pass it with a higher mark.

This guy is horrible. Teaches straight out of the book, but doesn't explain anything about what he is giving you. Tells you that the test is from the homework when its actually from the same page as the homework and not the problems you did. Doesn't go over homework at all. Avoid him at all costs.

Professor is Very helpful if asked a question. He starts at the beginning of class and holds the class until the last second. His exams are a little tough but if you do all the homework, you wont have a problem. He does go over classwork sort of fast. I recommend

Just pay attention. He goes straight to the point. Sometimes goes fast but just ask for help, he will help. Show up and if you put one HW problem on the board, he gives extra credit or if you solve something on the board. These points add up to your test. Average of the 4 tests he gives including final is your grade. Not bad

Comment:

Great Professor. He gets to the point, gives a lot of extra credit for putting HW on the board(doesn't check HW), and is very helpful. Just ask him if you have trouble. He is a nice guy but sometimes, he talks a bit too fast but he does repeat himself. Just pay attention and you'll do fine. Not bad of a professor.
