This class is very difficult. There is a lot of homework and quizzes 1 to 2 times per week. With that being said, Dr. Guo is very caring and wants to help all his students. He is always accessible and often moves due dates when asked.

Comment:

Once you overcome the language barrier, Guo is a decent teacher who makes calc somewhat enjoyable. He is a very easy grader (i.e. partial credit for just putting some work down) and offers perks like dropping a few of your lowest homeworks. However, he is very intelligent and thus, has a difficult time answering your questions/ dumbing things down.

He has an accent that is hard to understand at first but after a few class sessions it isn't a problem. Homework and tests are very reasonable as long as you actually put in time and effort.

Comment:

If math does not come easy to you, then do not take this professor. He means well, and cares about his students but he is difficult to understand. His English is very rough and he teaches too quickly and does not answer questions, he only repeats himself. Calculus is a difficult subject, but I think his class made is harder than it should have bee

Comment:

Accent is nearly impossible to understand and skips many critical steps assuming you know them even if those steps are relatively new. He is very caring and wants to help the students, but does not acquire the communication skills to do so due to a MAJOR language barrier.

Comment:

Dr. Guo is a great professor. He is very approachable and makes the material easy to understand. He does have sort of an accent, but once you get used to it, it is not that bad. The homework can be a little tough, however, the tests are just easy versions of the homework and the examples gone over in class. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Comment:

His accent is thick but you understand it as time goes on. He explains things so thoroughly that if you look back at your notes they are easy to read. He doesn't write every single step for examples but if you ask him to explain he will. Homework is graded and hard but the tests are simple, easy versions of the problems went over in class. Take him

Comment:

Guo is super nice & always willing to try to reexplain something. You have to teach yourself though and there is def a language barrier. On exam days, you get back homework for the last three sections, and your quiz. That is a big scheduling prob. We had five minutes before the test to figure out what we did wrong and had nothing to practice with.

Comment:

You'll get over the accent. However, he is not clear at all. If you ask a question, he answers it with information that has to do with your question - but it doesn't answer your question. DO THE HOMEWORK in 151, they count the SAME as quizzes. The quizzes are very short meaning and it's easy to do poorly on them.

Comment:

Once you get used to his accent, you have to get used to the way he explains doing problems, which is a bit confusing as he skips steps assuming everyone knows how to do things already. Homework grading is beyond tough. Graded for correctness and takes significant points off for very small errors such as a reversed sign. Avoid if you can.

His accent is hard to understand and he does not answer questions very well. When you stay after to ask questions he just laughs. His quizzes are once a week but help for the test. He drops your lowest test and two lowest quizzes which defiantly help.

His accent is easily understandable. Tests are pretty easy as he breaks them into two halves over two days. Homework is assigned daily, but isn't hard and helps a lot for tests.

Comment:

Honestly his accent isn't that bad, you just have to listen more (which would probably help anyways). He assigns homework that is graded, but in the long run it is SO helpful come test time. His tests are easy versions of the homework. He does go through lecture quickly, but if you go over the material outside of class it is a breeze.

This class is hard and he is hard to understand. I basically had to teach myself. However he does give study guides before tests and if you go to math lab and understand study guide you will do good on tests. The final is all the tests combined. He also gives extra credit for attendance. If you study, you will not do horrible.

I can't understand a word he says. He seems like he is willing to help but he is horrible at explaining things. He goes through the textbook verbatim. I am not incapable of reading myself.

He is not a hard teacher, just hard to understand at some points. If you attend every class you he will add 3 points to your final grade. He drops the lowest quiz grade. He is more than willing to help you if you have a question.

Comment:

I literally never understand a word he's saying. He's not very good at explaining things or helping you understand how to get from one step to the next, and you'll end up teaching A LOT of the material to yourself if you aren't very good at math, which you aren't. I'm doing horribly in his class, I don't recommend it.
