This professor was chill for most of the quarter. Their lectures were almost useless and did not add much but it was not mandatory. It was mostly learned through online means and 3rd party applications. It was only that our class did too well on the midterm that he increased the final difficulty to unreasonable heights.
I'm not going to exaggerate Deng like other students, but I will say that he's a subpar professor. His lectures are unorganized and Deng often goes on technical side tangents that go beyond CS16 material. He is definitely knowledgeable, but needs to improve on being concise and following a lecture outline.
This professor is awful. Though I can tell that he curved a lot, I spent so much time on this class. His homework and labs are easy but time-consuming. His exams are completely undoable. His lectures can only be understood if you are already an experienced programmer. Also, he disrespected students. Avoid him at all costs.
He is an absolute god in giving out lectures. The way he structure his sentences and expressing his logic are truly mind-blowing. In short, the dude is from China and have no idea how to speak English (P.S. He doesn't know that himself). So take the class if you actually like broken English and getting told you are worthiness.
Terrible. Intro to C++ but everything was unorganized and not very friendly to the beginner coders. Couldn’t understand the guy, should have never been given the opportunity or thrown into this spot. Not a good professor at all…
He has a hard time piecing together a coherent thought, he will bounce around from topic to topic in illogical ways. He would forget to assign homework and randomly do it a day before, or would change the due date for zybooks on you from the normal weekly day. The final covered content not in the scope of the class, etc. Delay taking the class.
