Jiang is not the best math teacher, his accent is quite thick, but it is an easy way earning math credit (though not necessarily an A, but you might earn a B or C). His tests are open book/note, though he grades hard, and take home quizzes are a plus. So it helps non-math majors to take him for Math

Enjoyed taking his class, great professor. Is always willing to help if need help in homework. His lectures are helpful and clear. If you don't understand a certain problem he will gladly repeat it and make sure you it's clear to you. Do expect to get homework.

Take home quiz and 1 take home test. Drops lowest test grade. do homework for easy points. U sign in on a signin sheet and he doesnt seem to care if you leave class early. He has an accent so if you cant understand accents may be difficult for you. If you are confused he will re go over the problem for you and make sure you understand.

Great professor! Easy to follow class and Professor Jiang will go over anything you don't understand. There is 10 quizzes but are take home so make sure you take a lot of notes so you can use them towards the quizzes. The test are hard but its two parts, in class and take home, the take home really saved me! He has an accent but easy to understand

I hate math so much but Jiang made me understand math. I had dropped this class with another professor and with Jiang i was VERY successful. 10 take home quizzes. Tests that are half in class and half take home. Take notes, do the hw. You will do a lot of work but it really does help with passing and understanding the class. Definitely recommend!

Professor Jiang did the best lecture ever; his explanation is extremely detailed that no matter how weak you are in math or have no basic at all, I recommend you to take his class. You will be marked on home works and quizzes, so don't rely on just the tests and final exam!

Professor Jiang is amazing! I am very weak at math but his lectures are so detailed i actually understood and passed the course. I had taken M31 before with another professor and did not understand anything. You will have 4 tests, he drops the lowest one. He does assign alot of homework but it prepares you for the exam.

Professor Jiang is great, he really explains things clearly and was always SO patient even when people asked ridiculous questions (the kind where it was obvious they didn't study at all and had 0 clue what was going on in class). He makes class engaging so he does expect participation, however he never calls on anyone. Winter session lots of HW!

Participation matters

Professor Jiang is an amazing math professor. I have struggled with Math for so long and dreaded Math 20. The first day in his class I could tell how much he cared that we learned, understood, and did well. He would stay after class and would go back and explain any time we did not understand. I highly, highly recommend. He's awesome!

Professor Jiang is probably the most detailed instructor Ive ever had. He can literally explain ten different ways to resolve a problem and then continue forward with even more information, its a trip tbh. Hes super understanding with personal lives being affected by our current circumstances and give you 6 hour windows to complete tests.

Lots of homework

Professor Jiang is very nice, helpful,and takes his time to explain anything you might not understand. His quizzes and tests are kinda long but easy if you do the homework and pay attention in class. You can easily pass this class with an A, he provides notes that cover everything weve learned. He drops your lowest quiz and test scores. Take him!!

This class was almost too easy. He provides printed lecture notes, but the class moves too slowly. Because he explains everything in detail, we are already weeks behind in class than where we should be. He's a good professor so I would recommend him to anyone who struggles in math, he will help you understand. Open note tests and take-home quizzes.

Best math teacher ever, this guy does nothing but teach, his tests are extremely easy. He's very kind and willing to do examples over again if the class doesn't understand. He drops the lowest scores, he's honestly a amazing guy, I wish smc would make him into a full time professor. His exams are very basic and easy and don't try to trick you

Good professor overall and a very reasonable class with printed notes, take home quizzes, and exams with questions like those on the quizzes, only harder. The class moves very slowly though, and we did not finish all of the chapters. All in all, he is a very reasonable and understanding teacher, and he teaches well.

Great math Professor. I wish I could take him again. His lectures are mandatory if you want to understand the material and get great test scores. He doesn't require the textbook as there are 2 different options for the homework, either the examples on his notes or assigned textbook questions. Allows to turn in homework and take home quizzes late.

Professor Jiang is a good math professor to be in college. His overall class isn't bad I took math 3 (Tri) We had 6 quizzes and 4 Exam including the final. He isn't bad the down side is that he won't tell u your grade for the class. I'm done with his class and I still don't know my overall grade. so yeah.. I would take this class again.

Great math professor - his lectures are a must if you want to ace the tests. No textbook required, just his detailed notes. Unstuck AI was super helpful for review too. Easy class, with open-note tests and take-home quizzes.
