Number 1 Rule if you are taking his class: attend every lecture. all of the problems on the midterm/final were examples or proofs in lecture/homework. No outline for the course, no syllabus, heavy chinese accent but you get used to it. Everyone bombed the midterm, but you'll do well on the final if you just study his lecture problems/homework.

Nobody can understand what he is saying, and it's pretty clear to see that everything he's saying and writing is incomprehensive, especially when he writes with such a light marker and constantly erases the board that has material that he said we HAVE TO KNOW. The material taught was a joke, didn't prepare me for the midterm or final at all.

Proofs on lower division tests making up nearly 50% of the test grades. Not only that, he isn't teaching the material at all. Students don't learn laplace transforms, that total derivatives are represented as matrices, optimization of volume, and other crucial things. They just know how to memorize is proofs. This is both useless and unfair.

Worst professor I've had. Lectures were disorganized, no lesson plan, heavy accent and unreadable handwriting. Spent ages on old 3A/3B topics, then rushed new 6A material andskipped 2/3 of 6A content. Midterm average in the 30s. No practice exams, wrong examples, ignored questions, and called things “obvious” without explaining. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!!

First 3 weeks in class, spoke in mandarin chinese to an english fluent class. Only time this professor spoke english was to say the words "Partial" and "Zero". Throughout the class and homeworks, we worked on problems that applied the topics within the field of mutlivariable calculus. However the exams 7 hard proofs.The class averaged a 30 on exam.

Intro to calc class yet the exams were mostly proofs. Mostly did proofs in class and rarely showed examples of how to actually do math. No practice exams. Homework didn't match exams. Homework due dates/submission was unclear. Scattered teaching style. There was a large curve up at the end. Allegedly the last class started a petition to fire him.
