He is ok,but test is hard than others. I think he can be a good instroctor in ELAC. Right now he is vice chairman in Math Department.

I don't agree with the downstair guy. Mr Liao tought very clearly. You can learning many detail about mathematic on his any level class. His class is hard (should be honor class). Anyway, if you study hard on his class, you should be get better grade.

Hope him to give us the easy tests and final~

Good for us!

BEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD AT ELAC. MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO PASS. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS GUY FROM THE BEGINNING FOR EVERY MATH CLASS. HE'S REALLY NICE AND VERY HELPFULL.FUNNY GUY TOO. HE GIVES SAMPLE TESTS TO STUDY FOR THE EXAMS AND EXAM QUESTIONS ARE ALMOST THE SAME AS ON THE SAMPLE.

great teacher. easy to pass

Good for us!

even though his lectures were boring, i still liked his class.

Great teacher, that's all I got to say.

Instructor obviously loves math, your question is throughly worked-out, instructor just will not give up trying to make material understandable-as long as you keep trying.

Good Lord, he takes a point off for every damn mistake, then the final is what makes your grade!! Don't think just cause you got A's on the quizes you'll get an A as your grade, heck no the final sucks and it determines your grade!!

Hw assiments is a must for him. You must do 'em or else he takes off pts. I like how there r pratice tests for every chapter. Just pay attention during class n do the examples. you will pass =)

Nice instrutor

Best ELAC Math Professor!!! MR.L makes Calculus fun and exciting. U will especially enjoy when he covers differentiation and intergration of logarithimic... circular and hyperbolic funtions and their inverses are the BEST!!!!

easy test but hard exam, attendant not helpful yr grade, he is cool, 89.99 is B , he told me

Awesome

he is good,easy !i always feel relaxed~

good teacher! very easy to get A! but his class is sooo..... you got to study before exam

he's a very good teacher~very easy~

He's very cool. Leaves you alone. Just do your work!

He is nice teacher, just do ur work,turn in a the homeworks, then u will get an A. Easy testssssssss..

His accent's pretty heavy, but it's not hard to get through it. HW due on thursdays, tests on wednesdays (and he actually looks at the work you do on tests, so he'll give you some pts even tho your answer was wrong). He also drops the lowest chapter test score... He's pretty mild mannered, so he won't bother you. Just do work and you'll be fine! :)

Very easy math teacher, he tells u exactly what he wants from you. He gives out practice exams with almost identical problems that are on the exam. Drops the lowest test score. This once he found me playing with my ds in class and didn't tell me anything...haha. Great Teacher. As long as you do your work, ur ok!

He was my first ever Math teacher at ELAC.I got an A. All wht you have to do is to do your homework well and turn that intime. Exams are very very easy, final exams are even easier. He gives you study guides and those Qs will equally help you in your finals. Clrity wise, if you consider me,, Im an International student, but not Chinese.still i mngd

Long breaks and gives you every equation you need for a test. Very clear, aside from needing to write word for word on the word problems for HW. I just talked every class and never paid attention and still got a B. Probably the easiest math teacher here.

A very nice teacher. As long as u get the homeworks and do them all, u'll be fine. He gives study guides for tests and exams and those study guides are almost similar to those in tests and exams.

Nice professor & easy exams. Do your work & he'll leave you alone. Gives out sample problems that are very similar to quiz questions the day before. Slight accent, but definitely understandable. 7 quizzes (he drops the lowest), 7 homeworks, and a final.

Professor Liao is a very easy going teacher, his clarity is okay sometimes you have trouble understanding him but hes cool and VERY VERY helpful you raise your hand he will help you till you get it, hes patient, drops 1 lowest test score, his tests are extremely easy he tells you whats on the test, goes over homework problems. I got an A!!

Very nice professor, & attendance not mandatory. Lenient grader on homework and tests. Gives a "study guide" for every test beforehand, and test is exactly as mentioned. Drops the lowest. Highly recommended for those who are not the best at math.

Took Mr. Liao during fall semester and his class is not hard as long as you attend the classes and review the chapters at home as a normal student is supposed to. Do your homework, study the handouts for the tests and you'll be just fine.

COOL teacher. take him if you want to get an A~DO the homework and every thing will be ok~

Liao is one of the best Math teachers. He teaches very clear so that I dun need to spend much time to revise the chapter again. Otherwise, it would be terrible since I took his class in summer. If you want to learn, take him! If you want to get a good grade, take him as well! You can get a good grade if you know how to homework! Recommended!

One hw assignment per chapter. Drops the lowest test grade. Classes are boring but lessons are exactly as taught in the book. I would have preferred more review for tests. With all the previous reviews you may come out of this thinking the teacher is easy as heck. Not entirely the case but there are pros.

very nice, attendence not required, I thought his teaching was very clear although his english is poor, easy tests (the review is almost exactly the test with diff. numbers!),book use only for homework, if you have difficulty with basic math concepts, I do not reccomend...otherwise, highly reccomend!!!

Very nice Prof. He cares for his students.More like him are needed! Take him if u suck in math he will help u a lot and if u try u will pass. He wont give u a hard time. I passed with a B and I am very happy.Take him, u wont regret it. I promise!

Although I checked that attendance is not mandatory because you don't get docked points, I suggest you still show up because Prof Liao is very good at explaining the Math concepts. Spontaneously he will also suggests what will be on the tests. At the end of the semester he let us use 1/2 sheets to help us with the exams which was very nice !

Had him for 115 and 125. He's excellent at providing examples and explaining concepts. However, he's a very soft spoken man. I sat in the front and sometimes had a hard time hearing him when he was on the far side of the board. Do the hw, study, and it's pi. He also gives practice tests and finals with are similar to the actual thing.

Actually his test is easy, but final text is very tricky. It's very easy to get a "B".

He super easy going. Answer questions when asked. Doesn't make you do work on the board or make you answer questions. Turn in homework on test days only so u will have a lot of time to do homework. Total of 6 test plus final no midterm.

best teacher ever

He is absolutely AWESOME! He gives many examples, forms and study guides. Usually, whatever is on the study guide is on the test too, just changes the numbers. Gives plenty of time to complete hw, and drops the lowest test grade. He is VERY helpful and cares a lot about his students passing. Feel free to ask questions, easy A.

Very nice professor but can be very boring. His quizzes are fairly easy and his final is pretty tough so find a good partner to study with because the final will separate the REAL A students from the B students. Sit in the front or else you wont be able to hear him. Other than that, math is based on you and not the professor.

Very Tough test. His test are harder and harder than before . THat's what people said in the class whoever taking with him. It is true the test are hard and he would also like to reduce points taken off a lot Like 1 points *2 2 points per each mistake u make. So, prepare for it!!! I will not take him for next or other Math class.

i have taken 115 twice in the pass before and i just couldn't get it but with him i was able to pass the class with a B. not because he was easy but because he is helpful. homework is not mandatory but it is extra credit and it counts as 10% if you do it. sit at the front of the class like i did!! gives practice test. wish i can take him for 125.

Mr. Liao is good for me. If you'r good at math you will be good. Quizs are every 2weeks , mostly pretty easy. Homework are not required but if you do them, easy A. I did homework and get 90+ score every time. Easy A definitely. In general, if you are good at math,take him,easy A. If you don't plz stay away from him. His lecture is boring.

Mr. Liao is great, he writes everything on the board and goes through every step in the equation. Very helpful, and he gives extra credit which is a life saver, i wouldn't have passed without it. Do everything he writes on the board, it will help a lot. I tried to add him for 125, but all of his classes are packed. Overall, very good math teacher.

He's a really good teacher. He writes everything on the white board and its your choice if you want to do the homework. If you decide to do the homework it's extra credit.

very helpful instructor, he goes over every problem on the board. do the homework and the class will be easy. really the homework is a life saver-guarantee to pass.

He is really cool, he'll explain everything you asked, you have choices to either do your homework or not, it is extra credit. The tests are not too hard, but you have to prepare for it.

I took this during the winter semester and it was 4 hours from Monday through Thursday. However, this professor made it seems like it wasn't that long. I passed with an excellent grade by a good professor who goes step by step process. Take him if the opportunity is there. He gives homework as extra credit, so do it for points? Some don't, but why?

I took Mr. Liao for Math 125 and his class was pretty clear cut. He assigns homework as extra credit and only has 6 tests (no midterm). He speaks in a low voice, so sit up front to hear him. His lectures are clear cut and is more than willing to help during office hours. He really knows his mathematics and is highly respected by his peers.

i have taken math 115 twice before and i couldn't pass it. It was extremely hard but he put it in a way i can understand. hw isnt mandatory but it is extra credit and its due every 2 weeks about 80-95 questions but manageable just do 12 a day or less. he gives practice test that are similar to the test. wish he was teaching 227 !!

Great Professor! Enough time to do homework and turn it in. Breaksdown problems in different ways to help out students who have a hard time with a specific formula. hands out practice test forms to study before the test. Overall one of the best math teachers at ELAC.

He is the greatest professor ever. He's so passionate in teaching and helping his students understand the material. He'll throw in some jokes here and there. Took his class for Summer and honestly I loved it. I highly recommend to take him whether you are good at math or not.

Took him on a short semester, teaches pertty clear and breaks down the steps. Practise test helps ALOT, if you got that down your good to go for the test. Final is accumulative of all practise test, same stlye of problems just changes numbers.

He is a wonderful Professor. I am not saying this because I passed but because he really takes the time to help you understand math. He shows different techniques to solving a problem in case you don't understand. He's awesome! Offers extra credit. Do the work, study and you'll pass. You can't expect to pass if you don't do the work.

I really like professor Liao. I think he cares about students a lot. Even though some students might perform not as good as expected, he would not give them hard times. His tests are 95-99% similar to his in-class lectures. If you pay attention to his lecture and do homeworks, defnitly you have no problem to ace the test!

Professor Liao is really good at teaching. He explains different techniques and gives recommendations. His homework is online but he gives you plenty of time to finish it.. It sometimes can be difficult to understand him but overall great professor!

Best math professor I've ever taken in elac, he's helpful,learn a lot,homework and quizzes are online, love this class

Gives you samples for midterm and final, similar questions. Online quiz and homework, easy A if you are following, attendance is mandatory first several classes. The book is not required.

Very helpful instructor! Definitely recommend him because he goes step by step. He will also teach you some very helpful short cuts. He also cares very much for his students, and I think that is super awesome! Definitely take him!

He is a really straightforward professor who really cares for his students. Although his voice is really low, the class is basically self taught. The online homework examples do really help you understand the content better. Quizzes and Homework are online through MathXl. Take advantage of his office hours and you'll most definitely pass the class

Mr. Jiao is a great professor, will work with you if you need help. Show up to class, pay attention to lectures and you will most likely pass. He does a good job explaining lectures on power point. Overall a great understanding teacher.

Professor Liao was very helpful this semester, especially with the craziness of COVID going on. He was very clear, thorough, and would go back if needed. He will answer any questions you have, and would definitely recommend taking him.

Proff. Liao was a great at teaching the fundamentals of Calculus. The assignments in this class are all online and you can do them at your own pace making the class seem easy. Make sure to reach the deadline though because that can really screw you over. Overall if keep up with the work the class isn't all too bad.

This class was overall not that tough, as long as you learn how to use the calculator, complete the homework, you'll pass the midterm and final. Questions on the exams are exactly like the homework problems and study guides. He doesn't reply to emails, so ask him all the questions you have in person.

very kind and very easy.

Took this precalc class and the professor was pretty good. Lectures the whole time so it can get pretty boring but just focus and do homework as the lectures go if not you'll fall behind. We have around 11 quizzes in class and 3 on our own time. Final was easy just study. Everythng is on myopenmath and it has short videos to help even duringthequiz

I really like the way he teaches it could be boring at times but overall he is very cool. Just make sure you do the homework on time. He gives you plenty of time for your homework.

Attending zoom was mandatory. He lectures the entire time so take notes as it helps you do the HW and exams with ease. Ask him questions and he answers and helps solve as well! The study guides are the exams just with different numbers/ setup. Have a calculator ready and participate. I hated math but passed his class very easily, he's amazing!

I took Honors 227 and it was manageable. P. Liao has HW for every chapter (10 problems), a few quizzes (1-4 questions), Midterm and Final. Midterm and Final he will give the study guide and it's exactly as the exams. Practice practice practice the HW problems, quizzes and study guides. His lectures are good, but make sure you ask questions if lost.

Great class! The teacher was very nice. He was very open to helping students after class whenever they needed help going over math problems. The class does not require you to buy any books; you only need a TI-84, which you can rent at the math lab for $7 for the semester. As long as you talk to him, you'll be good.

One of the best math professors at ELAC. The homework he assigns is multiple-choice and it allows you to retry it multiple times. However, if you find math already challenging, be sure to use the resources the college has available. The professor is going to help as much as possible, but at the end of the day, the class is YOUR responsibility.
