CollegeCheng is a picky grader. His explanations of concepts taught in class are subpar. The only positive of taking his class is that he curves the grades. If you get stuck having to enroll in his class, good luck. Otherwise, I suggest taking a different elective.
Stay away from this professor at all costs. He is the most confusing professor I've ever had in 4 years. take any other class if possible , game theory was way easier because at least the textbook was good. this textbook doesn't line up with material at all.
Should not be a professor. Lectures are so scattered and he bounces around everywhere. Taken during zoom and he recorded the lectures on something from the 1970s or earlier. Where does his massive salary go? id propose that it isnt towards his computer or microphone. or becoming a good professor. Just one broke mans humble opinion.
Material covered is very very difficult. Doing the HW requires a fair amount of guesswork. Exams are somewhat similar to the HW problems but still hard and he's very nice if you approach him one-on-one. The class is about asymmetric information, lying, and cheating games. It's really cool!
Absolutely horrible class. Professor lacked any sort of structure in class. No clear grading scale. Would never take a class with this professor ever again.
Kind and patient
