Comment:

Cheng was an excellent professor, although the lectures could be a tad dry sometimes, he at least keeps you interested through many examples. I feel his tests were very fair, and his quizzes are easy as long as you keep up with him. Great professor, wish I could have him for Microeconomics!

This guy is great, I'll forever recall his voice and exclamations of companies that "jack up the price" on their goods. Attendance wasn't required, but we did have a few in class quizzes that added to your grade if they were taken.

Comment:

Tai is the most confusing professor I've ever had. His lectures were completely random and extremely difficult to understand. His favorite sayings were "bear with me", "and you're like HUUUUHHH?"

Terrible text and class used program from the "card punch era". One wonders how much SAS is used in the real world. He was very helpful and wanted to make sure students learned the concepts

Comment:

He makes many mistakes in presentatio during class. He does not follow the text much. The software SAS is too difficult. Wise students used other software to save time. He was open to students using different software for homework.

Don't go tp class b/c it's a waste of time. He's so boring and you can teach yourself everything b/c it's straight from the book.
