He curves my grade down for four levels without prior notifications. He did not say anything on the syllabus or notify us about the potential curve in class. Try to avoid him if you can.

I got an 89% in this class and that was downcurved to a C+. He didn't mention the grading scale on the syllabus or in class and it took me completely by surprise. Lectures are stolen from a course taught in Mandarin and so boring and incomprehensible that they're not worth going to.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HIM. Please take this and other reviews seriously, I took him because I thought people were just whining. I was wrong. Some examples of poor teaching: - quizzes are on things barely covered - some of the slides are in Chinese, ripped straight off of a youtube video - down curves the class at the end with no warning

Even if you understand him with his accent, it wont matter because he simply cannot teach to save his life. But you still have to attend lectures because then you might miss sh*t like him telling the class that not doing his survey means an entire letter grade gets dropped. Not to mention the downcurve was so bad, a 90 was a B, and a 92 was a B+.

Lectures are completely useless (throws equations on the screen without explaining them, goes into irrelevant tangents, does not effectively communicate concepts). Be prepared to self-learn in this class. Projects and HWs were at least fun and graded pretty leniently. For exams he is a tough and unforgiving grader. Avoid at all cost.

Lectures are conversational, confusing, and you cant really take notes. Slides aren't helpful, just confusing. Homework assignments are fair and helpful in understanding material. Tests are similar to hw, just slightly harder. 60% hw, 15% midterm, 25% final, which is fair. Dont like his teaching style but the class isnt horrible
