Tests are a lot harder than you expect.

Are you kidding? She is always there and more than willing to help.

good prof, quick grader

difficult grader, but she does KU curve, explains well, quick grader, nice lady

Unpredictable, hard tests, but very nice person

I think that she is a really nice lady, but I fail all the tests

Gives Sample Tests before actual test. Study that, and pass with A's.

Tests were hard, just ride the Kettering scale!

Somewhat hard subject, great teacher, ask her tons of questions

Good lectures. Tests nothing taught or homework. Test just like given crib.

nice teacher, hard tests, need to understand material to do well

Seems nice enough but sticks it to ya with her tests (all 2 of them which are damn near impossible). She is hard and I would recommend taking someone else.

Good at teaching, great examples. Willing to help. Tests are VERY hard, half the class will fail them.

Contrary to what others have said, I am starting to like Cheng as a professor. She moves quickly in class and the tests are challenging, but you will definitely understand the subject matter in the end. She is also very fair with partial credit

Once you catch on to her teaching style/testing style, this class is not bad. I nearly dropped it after the first quiz, but hung on and ended up being glad that I did!

Professor Cheng is a good teacher, the quizzes were straight from the homework, and she gave practice tests for all the exams. Relatively easy to get a 90+.

Enjoyed the class. Really good examples and goes at a good speed. Quizes are right out of homework. Cribs online. Tests quite simple. Always availabe for extra help as well.

A great prof! She teaches fast, but if you ask questions she'll go back and make sure you understand (just keep saying you don't). When class is done, re-organize your notes and the quizzes/tests will be a breeze.

Great teaching style. Covers material thoroughly and does lots of example problems. Tests are reasonable and quizes are easy- straight from the homework. Very fair grading system, too. The people who don't like Professor Cheng probably don't like to work hard, either.

Feaking awsome teacher. Weekly quizzes are straight from the homework. You can't crip her but if you do the homework you are solid. Excellent prof.

Very helpful and quizzes are easy, but here tests were a real shock. She's not a professor to give you easy algebra to concentrate on the Diff Eq. principles.

Really cool teacher. Class usually starts late because everyone is talking about the weekend or something. You'll have to QUICKLY take notes. Her chalk is like a blur! Her final is ridiculous. I got a 66% and was pissed off, only to find out that the class average was 37%! No curve. Don't take if you're looking to boost your WAG.

Not easy, but not hard. Quizzes are straight from the homework and she gives you cribs via blackboard for the tests. She grades fairly and gives a lot of examples. Amount of work and grade are proportional. I feel like I learned and will retain more than my friends in McCartin's class.

REALLY HARD PROF. the only saving grace is that all you need to pass is a 50% in class and 30% on final. You wont learn what a Diff EQ is, how to use it or set it up, just solve it. not hard to pass but a definate WAG dropper. You will definately be able to SOLVE a differential equation but thats about it.

She's helpful, but you have to post on blackboard first. all the quizzes are straight out of the homework, so make sure you do them. Tests a bit difficult but she provides past cribs online. make sure to do a lot of them and be willing to devote about 10 hours before the tests

The best math prof. I've ever had. Will make you work but teaches very well and is extremely helpful. I would take her for anything she taught

Good at teaching you the methods and a generous curve at the end. She doesn't collect homework, so if you can't study on your own, you're dead

I really liked her style. She is very helpful. Likes her students, but is hard. I learned alot, but worked hard for a decent grade. difficult but fair

She explains everything extremely well. If you have troubles, she's approachable and has many avenues to help you get your questions answered (discussion boards for one of those avenues). Even though the homework isn't graded, do it because he tests are tough. The tests will stretch your brain and understanding of the math so be prepared!

No teacher can make this subject fun, but she was close. Quizzes/tests weekly. Not too difficult. It was a small class so there was a good ratio and she often gave 1-1 help in class. Pay attention in class, you'll do fine. Lots of memorization though...when to use which technique. I did good in the class gradewise. I would take her again.

Not a hard accent to understand. Lectures are clear and straightforward. Very willing to help and flexible with homework and working around schedules. Quizzes are directly from assigned homework- stay up on that and you're golden. Tests aren't "curveballs", you just have to know your stuff and do the cribs she provides you with. Use Blackboard!

Tests are insanely hard, but do your homework and study and you'll do fine. Ada is always more than willing to help and answer questions. This is not an easy professor but she is a very good one. Would reccomend to anyone who wants to actually learn.

Fun class... She'll make you work a little, but doesn't collect much homework, and the tests, while a little tough, aren't unmanageable. You actually learn the material. Would recommend to anyone.

Ada is an awesome professor, one of the best math professors at Kettering. She teaches the subject very well and is very knowledgeable in the subject and loves teaching it. Do the HW all the quizzes are straight from the homework, and the test aren't too hard and she is good at giving partial credit. She is really nice and makes the class fun!

RUN! The only reason I passed b/c I didn't have to take the final.(Snow Day) This chick is STUPID HARD! Don't be like me and think you can beat the odds. Our class Avg for tests was ~35/60. 58%!! She has a decent curve, but all it does it helps you pass so she doesn't get audited. Do yourself a favor. Spend $300 & take this class online @ LSU!!

we got way behind the other section: she doesnt know how to teach two-hour sections i think. she was good at what she did teach though

Ada loves teaching but Calc II for her is very hard. The quizzes are easy if you do the homework. The midterm and final are the only things that matter, and they are very hard you just have to study for those.

Prof. Cheng is one of the most difficult professors at Kettering. She will teach more than you need for the course, and she grades quite hard. But you will learn more from her classes than any other professor. Do the assigned homework, use class time wisely, and use her provided cribs to study for exams. The course isn't that hard, just practice.

She is a tough grader and it's not an easy class, but she is a sweet person and it is definitely possible to pass and even do well. You have to make sure you do the assigned book work and keep on top of things because there are weekly quizzes based upon the homework, but she isn't nearly as bad as others make her out to be.

Professor Cheng is really funny and you can tell that shes very passionate about her class and subject. People say that the class is difficult but truthfully if you do the homework and practice tests you should be able to pass no problem. She goes over a lot in lectures so I wouldnt advise skipping class. All in all she was a great professor!

Professor Cheng is a great person and teacher. She is very nice and makes lectures fun. There is a lot to learn but she is very available for office hours and presents the material very straight forward. Do the homework and review and you will do great in the class.

her homework assignments are optional but I recommend doing them and never missing a class. The way she grades is kind of harsh but she always more than willing to help you outside of class. Don't expect to get an easy A, she will make you work for it.

Dr. Cheng's lectures are easy to understand, and she is very helpful if you have a question. She is not too fast, and stops occasionally to allow the class to write notes down. She goes through many examples to cover most bases of a topic and really cares about her students and the subject. Her tests are difficult, however, so make sure to study up

Great professor, I learned a lot in her class and she makes sure everyone understands the topic before moving on. She is a tough grader, make sure you take lots of notes and review them before tests. The textbook can help too but isnt really necessary. Keep in mind that she only grades tests and the final exam.

She's a great prof and does a great job at explaining the content. The tests can be difficult if you do the test prep incorrectly. Do the hw+preps and ask her for help. I wish I had more time to thoroughly check my work on each test (50min). The grading is curved ; the Final was 40%. I made a few mistakes on tests, but I learned a lot. Good course.
