This class was pretty easy. Class is mainly lecture-based, and we go over problems in class. He moves quickly, so it's easy to miss some things, and he will get a slight attitude if you ask him to go back to any previous slides. As long as you show up and study, you'll be ok. No attendance but you'll regret missing class, it'll put you behind.

Professor Chang was a great professor. Definitely take his class. He clearly articulated what was expected from us as students in the syllabus, so just look at it for reference. He did go a little fast in the lecture, so if you struggle a bit with math make sure you have your phone ready to take pictures of his notes because he will not post them.

Professor Chang cares about his students. He takes his time with each lecture and makes sure his students understand the content. Attendance is not mandatory but poppers are given throughout class and are worth 5% of your grade. There are 5 tests (including final). You can get up to 5 pts of extra credit on every exam by taking the practice tests

He taught well but went wayyy too fast to be able to keep up with what he was saying. You kinda had to teach yourself so I wouldnt recommend him if you arent great at math. He is also kinda petty and gets snarky if you ask him a question he thinks you should already know. He wasnt the worst professor I had but he also wasnt the best.

He moves really quickly, so don't skip class unless you absolutely have to. Course is well organized, hardly any surprises concerning due dates. Not test heavy. Practice tests are SUPER helpful. But, he gets an attitude if you ask him to repeat things, esp if it's older material. Other than that, he's a solid choice.

He is a good chill professor. You have 2 quizzes, 1 homework, and poppers all is in CASA every week. Is a little fast-paced. The lectures are easy but then on the homework or quizzes, it would be more complex problems. As long as you go to class and do everything on time you'll be okay.

Prof. Chang should be the only professor you want to take for math. Other reviews said he's a bit fast-paced, but obviously they've never taken Prof. Constante. Prof. Chang is amazing and goes step by step. He takes the time to explain the math we're doing and how it's formulated. Highly Highly Recommend. Not to mention he's a cool character too.
