You cant understand a word thats coming out of his mouth. Dont take him.

Nice guy terrible teaching : /

Nice guy, terrible teacher. He didn't provide any practice questions, or examples of problems in lecture notes.

He didn't provide any practice problems / examples. Lousy teacher.

The worst teacher I have ever encountered. He has an extremely thick accent so it is literally impossible to understand. He reads off the slides and does not give examples in class. Yet his tests were virtually impossible! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Very hard to understand which makes the lectures painful to sit through. Makes tests in a way that you are unable to use the calculator and will need to know all the formulas. Course project is very easy.

Not a very good professor. He knows his stuff when it comes to stats but it is so hard to understand him because he speaks so fast. I learned nothing in this course and taught myself the entire course using the textbook. Going to his lectures are pointless

He gets easily frustrated and annoyed when you ask for clarification. Makes simple concepts seem intricate. Very arrogant.

Had him my first semester at Ryerson, was absolutely terrible. He had a thick accent, and when I approached him after class to clarify he was always in a rush and never spent more then a minute explaining. Complains to much about class attendance and doesn't focus on fixing his teaching methods.

He has a very thick accent and was not helpful at all. I would recommend dropping his class immediately and switching into another section. The textbook is necessary if you want to pass the class. He does not answer questions and is very arrogant.

Honestly if you go to class and pay attention its fine, but thats where the hard part comes in. His accent topped with the speed he goes at just doesnt work, it becomes so hard to understand him. if you miss anything or come after class for help all he'll say is you should have listened to class and not even answer your question. very arrogant to.

No disrespect to Prof Xie, I'm sure he is very educated and knowledgable in Stats. However he does not speak English and therefore should not be teaching math in English. It is Ryerson's responsibility to make sure before they hire someone to teach students who are paying thousands of dollars that the prof speak clear, understandable English.

A passionate professor, however, If you're not particularly good with statistics, then he really won't be much help to you either. Also, his heavy accent won't make the lectures any clearer. You'll most likely find yourself looking to the textbook for help, which can be tedious. There should be more profs for QMS442, otherwise you'll be lost! GL!

Was very hard to understand because of his accent, and did not answer questions. Was quite arrogant and called out students without reason. Look for an alternate professor.

He has a very thick accent :( I never understood anything he said, even after trying so hard. Class tends to get boring. He tries to explain the concepts but just can't do it. Choose a different prof if you can or get ready to teach yourself everything. He is nice but his accent is a big problem.

He has a thick accent, thought I'd get used to it but I just couldn't. His tests are fair, but you're better off studying from the textbook. Honestly, Ryerson needs better math profs & more profs that speak proper english, especially for stats.

So I am taking STA302 with him at U of T. His explanation is vague. He talks fast with accent which affects the quality of the lecture. Students are confused, and his test is not fair. Only 5 of the whole class passed the 2nd test. If you want to challenge yourself, go ahead, avoid him otherwise.

Life ruiner, GPA ruiner, Unclear, NOT worth it, DO NOT take him. I cannot express this strongly enough. He won't help you out with formula sheets or allow cheat sheets. His tests are designed to screw you up.

Nice guy, but you cannot understand what he is saying at all. He has a very thick accent and even with a microphone it was still hard to understand. The tests were very difficult and he did not explain concepts very well and did not show the class on how to use the calculator.

Professor Xie is very arrogant and lets it be known his dislike toward people not going to class, but fails to understand the reason for that is not because they're lazy, but because they have no idea what he's saying. Take this with another prof if you can or in the summer.

He's so caught up in his false sense of importance that he fails to grasp that no one can understand him through his accent. He is so confusing that I ended up leaving lectures understanding the concepts LESS than I did going into the class.

If you get him as a Prof, drop out!!! he's the worst.

I don't think I've ever disliked a professor as much as I do this professor. He does make some stuff on his exams based off lectures, but he's so bad at teaching his lectures still aren't worth showing up to.

GPA ruiner. You have to be both intelligent and hard working to excel in this class. If you are just hard working, sorry this class is not for you (nor is this prof). You can still get a B maybe but never an A- or above unless you are actually smart. cheers. My advice is to go to class anyways because he puts at least 1-2 qs from lecture.

One of the worst profs I had so far. Barely speaks English so coming to class was pointless. He got mad when people stopped showing up to his class but didn't realize that we couldn't understand him. Barely prepared you for tests and you end up teaching yourself. He is very rude and even laughed once when a student incorrectly answered a question.

You can tell that the guy actually puts a lot of effort into his lectures. However, the problem is that he talks fast with a combination of a very heavy accent. You won't understand what he says, and if you go to class and actually try to understand him you'll burn out in 5-10 mins. So most of the class doesn't show up.

Victor is a nice guy but that's just about where the positivity ends for him. His lectures are AWFUL you cant understand him at all. He also teaches all of the formulas in depth, this would be good except for the fact that you don't use them on the exams. The key to this class is basically learning how to use the calculator. switch prof's ASAP!!

Couldn't understand a word he said in class. Studied by using the internet and together with some classmates to figure out questions. Unfortunately, you're stuck with him if you're in Accounting and Finance. Good luck is all I can say.

Just don't. You will end up teaching yourself from the textbook if you get him. Cannot understand him AT ALL. He teaches you all of the formulas but you don't even need them, the key is the calculator. All questions on tests and exams are based on the calculator functions. Lots of online homework questions (one week had 40+).

If you have the choice then don't take this prof but i think he's the only one that teaches qms 230. He knows his stuff, but he also talks very fast and has a thick accent. The exams and test are easy but make sure you do the homework and fully understand how to use the calculator. Ask questions and you will be fine.

This professor is extremely hard to understand, he has a thick accent. I went to a couple of lectures and as hard as I tried, I could not understand a thing! (And this is coming from a person who has immigrant parents who speak with accents). This course is already challenging enough. Your bestfriend will be the txtbook, your calc. & ur cheat sheet

Unless you are ECN major, I'm assuming you are searching for Shengkun Xie's rating because you did not do course intentions... AVOID if POSSIBLE (coming from a 3.8 cGPA student)

Terrible professor. Can't understand anything he says, speaks too quickly and assumes everyone already knows everything. Also he's degrading to students who ask questions. Do not take this course or any course with him unless you want to fail.

Hard to understand. Boring lectures.

Impossible to understand a thing he says, and you don't know exactly what to study for. Doesn't teach us how to use the calculators, or solve any questions, only explains the abstract concepts and theories. Often goes off tangent talking about things that aren't even applicable to this course. I wish there was another prof teaching this course

Terrible. Doesn't solve any questions with the class or explain how to use the calculator. He rambles on and only focuses on plain concepts. His accent makes it extremely hard to understand. Barely gives us any information regarding tests. I learned nothing from him. Worst prof I've had in my university experience so far. Your textbook is your BFF

Worst professor I've had at Ryerson so far. He's rude, disrespectful and doesn't teach relevant concepts to the course, just talks about nothing. Your textbook will be your best friend. I don't understand how he's allowed to teach, drop the course and take it with someone else if possible.

-always show he is knowledgeable. for example, my classmate ask him questions's answer, he said:" it is a pretty simple question." Of course, he is a prof so he feels simple and easy. -he does not agree with his formula that he posted. The same question, the same formula, my friend was correct but mine was wrong. -can't understand his bad english

hard tests & exams, doesn't teach well. if you get this prof switch out.

Didn't understand a single word he said in class. Went through the slides like he was skating on ice. He assumed all of the students knew what they were doing and always said "haha easy". The course was based on the graphing calculator however, none of his slides included what functions to use. It just had equations of things you don't need to know

He has the thickest accent ever. I did not understand a word he said and he did not seem to care - also teaches tons of formulas that you don't need. he shows examples in class and doesn't tell you he won't post the slides and brings those questions in exams. Don't go to class , read from the textbook and do as many practice questions as you can.

Easy A if you know stats well, but it comes at a price with this guy as a professor. You gotta read the textbook and do your homework to keep up and understand, because when he teaches you'll likely be confused. Learn how to use the calculator and how to apply it in questions (textbook will teach you), and you will do fine.

WOST CLASS EVER

he is not able to say an english word properly.

Very disappointed with the Dean, Daphne who hired this professor who is unable to say a simple English word properly. We had suffered the entire semester due to the Dean and this professor. Thank you for making our life miserable.

This professor can teach well, but the problem is his accent. It is hard to understand him through it, so whatever he can teach well can't even be understood. You'll have to work on your own if you wanna pass.

He is objectively the worst professor at Ryerson. I can't go into the details because of the word limit but check his other ratemyprof page for UofT and you will see what I mean. The rating speaks for itself. Good luck to all of you that decide to take one of his courses. You will need to spend A LOT of time studying own to get a decent grade.

I would definitely steer clear from taking a class with him. He doesnt take the time to explain concepts, speaks to quick, and is hard to understand. If you need to take a course with him I wouldnt even bother going to class. Get ready to teach your self.

Worst prof at Ryerson. It isnt even his accent, it's his speed. The course content is difficult, as it is statistics, but he made me not want to take a stats course ever again. His practice questions are garbage, is not specific enough, and his lectures are awful. If he's your only choice for a prof, I'd recommend switching over to ECS.

This professor is one of the worst at Ryerson. Even if you could understand what he is saying the content of his lectures is not consistent with the content that you are tested on.

It is difficult for any student to understand his lectures as his accent is very heavy. He also fails to respond to emails on time and is not reliable at all. Unprofessional, to say the least and can be touchy with responses and fails to be professional with how he approaches students. If you understand him, you'll be fine but prepare to struggle.

professor was very boring and content in lectures was very different from what he tested on. ensure to do practice questions and learn the casio calculator yourself, do not bother going to class. professor was very unprofessional however course material was not difficult if you study and learn how to use the calculator correctly.

Cannot understand what he says, he's rude, provides useless lectures and little to no practice questions. Do NOT show up to lectures, just stay home to learn how to use the calculator and read the textbook

Came to class to only flex his gucci belt on the students and talk about his research. Proved unnessary formulas that wernt on the tests and had "hidden slides" which he only showed in class; this was the chuck of the tests. AND always laughed and said "haha easy" acting like we were grad students.

Hard to understand, rude, cocky, and overall the worst professor I've had at Ryerson

If you see this professor, you must run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. Zero quality of teaching.

Possibly the worst teacher in my life. What does missova even mean?? READ THE SLIDES and do the practice questions of the online questions do to well. PLEASE practice the stats calculator.

Teaches math, the one subject that is most intimidating/difficult for most students, and has a THICK accent. He is very smart, very good at math, no question about it, but his accent combined with poor quality microphone in the lecture hall makes the lecture pointless. Borderline not understandable.

MHF4U & MCR3U review essentially. If you didn't take those courses in high school, good luck. 100% would recommend skipping class & learning from online videos. Completely can't understand him talk. Midterms & final are around 10 show your work math questions. USE the exam review that they provide on D2L, the exams are essentially those questions

Don't even know why he's an instructor, no one in the class understands him and most don't pay attention because of this. He's a nice guy but his accent is really thick so its difficult to understand him. The textbook and youtube videos will be your only guide for this class.

He is probably one of the worse profs out there. He simply just goes through slides quickly and he has a thick accent so you aren't able to understand. He also talks and moves very fast without providing examples on the board, expecting you to understand everything. SO FRUSTRATING that he is the only prof for this course.

There's no point in going to his class, you won't understand him. If you ask a question he is very arrogant and makes you feel dumb for not understanding him. I would suggest getting a tutor to teach you this whole course

Up there for worst professor at Ryerson.. Going to class is a waste of time, he does not explain any concepts and nobody can understand a word he says. Does not teach the calculator. Read the textbook and watch youtube videos and avoid this guy at all costs.

He is probably the worst professor at Ryerson. There is no point in going to class you will not understand a word he says. It's a disgrace that Ryerson would even hire someone like him. Very rude to students and treats you very poorly.

Xie is probably the worst professor I've had so far. Besides his really thick accent, he tries to cram each lecture with way too much information. I usually go to all my lectures but with him, I'd recommend staying home and reviewing the slides and textbook, you'll learn better that way.

Waste of time, rude and unable to explain concepts AT ALL. Do not waste your time going to class. Just read the textbook, and do the textbook practice questions with the recommended calculator. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!

Stay away from this prof at all costs !!! Does not know how to teach

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. Lectures were useless and basically describes how the formulas are derived and not the actual application of them. His tests were manageable if you knew the concepts clearly since his practice questions weren't much help. Although he's a horrible lecturer, I do have to respect his passion on the subject.

Possibly the worst prof I'll ever have in my years in school. You can't understand a single word he says, which isn't really his fault but it makes his lectures useless and pointless to attend. He just posts slides for lessons, which overall are extremely useless and only cover 65% of the content you would want to grasp concepts. STAY AWAY FROM HIM

Lectures are pointless because you won't understand a single thing. If you want an A in this class you just need to practice the calculator yourself because he doesn't teach you it and also go over his slides as he tests a lot of material on it. Avoid him if you can but if you're in accounting he's unfortunately the only option.

Absolute worst professor I've ever had. Disrespectful, terrible lectures, and does not provide any help. He's a very smart guy, but the worst teacher ever. Had to learn the whole course off of YouTube (JBStatistics) which was the only reason I passed. If you can, avoid him at all costs, or risk your GPA.

Such a thick accent that you can never understand anything he is saying. In the beginning, I really tried and he "seemed" like a nice guy during the lecture. At the end of a lecture I asked for clarification but he is just so arrogant and rude. The class is not necessary to attend, get the calculator and use the textbook. AVOID!!!

Do not even try to understand anything he says. Does not teach you how to use the recommended calculator, you must learn it yourself. His classes teach you how formulas are derived, not used. Calculator makes the course 100x easier, don't bother going to his class as he does not teach it. Final was challenging.

His lectures were non-relevevant to tests. he goes off concepts and formulas in class but doesn't teach you how to use them. he should go over more examples in class to prepare students. Better off learning by yourself from the textbook

hint: he shows "secret slides" which he does not post on the powerpoints he shares on d2l. That said, dont go to class, it is a complete waste of time. Instead, find someone who goes to class and ask them for pics of the slides lol. Be smart, spend your time learning the calculator functions as the course is basically how to use the calc

Victor is very intelligent and knowledgeable but, he is a subpar teacher. It is extremely difficult to understand him because of his thick accent combined with the speed of his speech. He talks very fast and it's easy to quickly lose track of what he is trying to teach. Also, a vast majority of the class skips his lectures so he is bitter.

Have not come across a worse professor during my 2 years here at Ryerson. He is very difficult to understand, and purposely makes tests harder. His current rating is more than justified. There's also a large sample size to determine that there isn't an error in his rating . He didn't teach me that btw, I learned it myself. Stay away from this prof!

People ask "whats the hardest course in EMS?". The answer is not a course, its prof Victor Shengkun. Among EMS graduates hes a notorious legend. His accent is impossible to understand and he teaches all 3 semesters + cheng school. You have to go through him to continue. You and your friends will remember him for years as the worst teacher ever.

One of the most horrifying experiences of my life. MISOWA? i stopped going to class and instead studied on my own. This meant i had to teach myself everything and then do homework and practice. i went to one class after the midterm and there was like 5 people out of 90. anyways i wish the best of luck to anyone in his class. bring an advil

His teaching style? Not so good. I had to teach myself everything, and he just made me more confused tbh. Definitely not taking him again.

You can see he is very knowledgeable and an extremely nice person (so I feel bad to give him bad rating) but the class is so hard, his lectures are unclear, can barely understand what he says and made our tests harder because the average was too high (even though the test was already difficult). Don't take him if you don't have to.

he cant teach idek how hes here

Don't bother going to class. You're better off learning the material yourself because he'll get you even more confused. His accent is extremely thick, he doesn't know how to teach, and he hates answering questions. I gave up attending class after midterms. My condolences to anyone who has him in person.

I honestly have no clue how he is a professor. His style of teaching is so weird and with his accent it is impossible to understand he is saying. If you have any question regarding the course he tells you to meet him during office hours, even though his office hours are after the midterm the question is regarding.

He is so hard to understand and wants to make tests and exams hard to drop averages. He cannot explain things well and makes things more confusing than they need to be. Will not answer questions properly and he gives vague and unhelpful answers. I've never done so bad in a class in my life.

If you want to pass, do not even look in his direction. His tests are so lengthy and the time that he gives you is unfair.

This is as simple as any student is going to put it. This professor does not want you to pass.

dont listen to any of the 5/5 reviews. victors lectures are impossible to understand and his tests are super hard for no reason. does not explain anything properly during the lecture, no point of asking for help. best advice i can give you is learn everything by yourself cuz he wont help at all. good luck

no anglais. hard to listen. bad

Worst professor ever. How is he even a teacher?

wow he should not be a teacher. ryerson needs to do something about him.

Argh can't even begin to explain how angry he makes me. Probably a very nice person in real life and I think we must differentiate the prof from the person so nothing against him personally. But god as a teacher. I did not understand a single concept from him. had to teach myself and this is the most stressful course and exams are long and hard

Get ready to teach yourself. Xie can't explain concepts well, overcomplicates things, rushes lectures, and rudely cuts you off when you ask him a question. Spends too much time showing how formulas are derived instead of how they are used. Xie is also extremely hard to understand when he speaks. My deepest sympathies go out to anyone who gets him.

If I could give a rating of 0, I would. The worst prof ever and I dont know why some people are giving him 5/5. He doesnt even know how to teach and you cant understand a single thing. Get ready to teach yourself.

This guy is a terrible professor. He seems to be a good person but his teaching is awful. You're better off self-learning everything, because unless you go to his office hours, he won't give you a good explanation. He makes the tests and exam harder than they need to be just so he can try to lower the class average.

Accent makes it hard to understand him, and his explanations are overly complicated. Prepare to do a lot of self-learning if you have him as your prof. No disrespect to him as a person, but he should not be teaching this already complex course.

He is the absolute worst professor I've ever had, his lectures are cryptic and he wants the tests to be as hard as possible so a good amount can fail, it's as if he has a quota to meet. If future students have a choice, do not take him at all costs, if you're forced to have him, watch Professor Leonard on YT to learn calculus, trust me.

Unless you're good at calc/stats or have a tutor (I presume those are the people giving good ratings), this guy will mess you up bad. His accent makes it hard to understand him, and he overcomplicates concepts. I even went to office hours, just to leave confused as ever. He's knowledgeable but he just can't teach well. Avoid like the plague

Thanks to this prof my GPA is ruined. AND I'm retaking the course AND QMS230 next semester with him AGAIN! I always got 80's/90's and I'm getting 4.33 in my other courses. I had and 82 in this class, which HE dragged down to a barely passable mark. I've never done this badly in any class in my life. It's a shame Ryerson won't get rid of him.

This guy fully snaked us on the exam. He never told us a single detail about the exam, and he makes it 15 questions longer than our tests with no warning and gives you 6-7 options for each MC question. Impossible to learn anything, please avoid, you will regret taking him.

I would not recommend him as you cannot understand him due to his accent, many would agree he overcomplicates concepts and prepare to self-learn the entire course. A word of caution is he did mention openly that he makes tests and exams harder so that he can lower the class average to where he would like it to be.

I' m sorry but this prof can't teach for the life of him. His explanations are not only unclear, you also can't understand what he says because of his accent and he talks so fast. MESOWA? It's as if he's teaching the class in Mandarin because he's impossible to decipher. Makes tests harder to lower grades. Stay as far away from him as possible

He made my first semester of uni terrible.

Smart guy, but horrible prof. As much as he is a "highly gifted statistician" (quoted from his linkedin), he can't teach or explain concepts well. Plus his accent makes it very hard to comprehend him. Purposely makes tests harder to lower the class average. I don't understand how Ryerson took him on as a prof in the first place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

i dont wanna be mean but he cant teach, he just points to his pre written notes the entire class. he has a thick accent that nobody can understand even if they tried. MISOWA??? no clue what hes saying. i stopped going to class and taught myself instead. he also purposely makes tests harder to lower class average.

The worst prof ever! If you have the option to switch, DO IT! He cannot teach, he literally solves equations without fully showing his work or a clear explanation on how he solved equations. He also told us he will be making the tests and the exam difficult because the class average was too high.

This prof keeps you on your toes. Why your toes? Because the floor is on fire, and you're on fire. Everything's on fire because you are in hell.

Taking QMS130 with Professor Xie is like purposely running into a brick wall.

First semester of uni but I already know he is hands-down going to be one of the worst profs I will ever encounter. He can't teach at all, his exams and midterms are literally hell and if I took this in person I'd fail for sure. You definitely have to teach yourself everything in the courses he teaches.

Shengkun Bad

Terrible teacher! Bad Accent! Pray you don't get him!

his thick accent makes his lectures hard to understand. he doesn't explain concepts efficiently. if the midterm average is "high" he purposely makes the next task and/or final harder to decrease the average to what he thinks is "appropriate"

I'm not even gonna get into the issues with his thick accent and rushed lectures as the previous posts speak for themselves. This guy can't even prepare a proper test through D2L. We had half of our class receiving 6%+ grade boosts due to errors he made with the questions, some even receiving a 14% boost.

i would rather step on a pile of legos barefoot than take this class again

Worse guy ever. Cant teach whatsoever. I feel totally scammed paying for this class.

The only professor I've ever seen that didn't know how to solve his own questions that he put on the midterm.

He has a very thick accent making it hard to understand what he says. He makes things more complicated and confusing than they have to be so many people skip the lectures and have to teach themselves. The online lectures started with 500 students and ended with less than 100 attending. You'll have to put in a good amount of work to get a good mark.

"You may or may not like me, but i like you" - Professor Shengkun Xie

Great human being. However, my fellow EMS people. If you can avoid taking the class with him, it would HIGHLY be in your best efforts to find a way around him (especially for qms 703). LONG-winded lectures (not his fault it's just the material), and examples on the practice misalign from the test. Be prepared to go above and beyond. God Speed.

His accent is too thick and not quite understandable, but that's not his fault. What is his fault is that he goes by too quickly, which makes it hard to catch up. He also calls out students that leave class early.

TLDR: STAY AWAY IF POSSIBLE While the group project will raise your marks, the tests will leap bounds from the released problem sets. You will require going to the lectures, really listing all the while, and take time after class to look over everything through the textbook because both are ammo for the evals. You will have to work tirelessly. GL

The worst prof I have ever had. DOES NOT SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH. Makes the tests and exams very difficult! spends entire lecture showing how formulas are derived, rather than actually solving problems. R coding is very difficult for beginners and is used for the course, and this prof expects you to be a pro from day 1. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!!!

If you want to fail, then this is the prof for you! Trust the advice from a straight A student. Avoid this prof at all costs!

I basically did the whole course by myself. It is literally impossible to understand him. And when you do understand him he just reads of slides quickly. PLEASE AVOID HIM.

Nice professor but he does not speak a word of English. He is very keen to teach us Mandarin in his lecture.... Bravo if you have him as your professor.

All my classes I had good teachers but the class with him teaching it. Hes a nice but how can you Learn math when you dont understand his sentences. All he cares about is finishing his slides. You will have to do everything yourself. I couldnt switch out cause everything was full. Class should be called math in mandarin.

How you suppose to learn one of the most difficult subjects with a teacher who can barley speak English

He doesn't like it when questions are asked in class and rushes to finish slides.

He says to go over the h.w and tutorials to be prepared for the exam. However, the exam is nothing like the h.w. The concepts are much more complex in the exam and you only have an 1.5 hrs for it.

He teaches material thats not even on midterms, and doesnt give you enough time to answer questions during the midterms. Most of us had 5-6 questions left with 3 minutes to answer them, and had to guess for all of them. When we brought up our issues to him during the lecture and emailed him, he dismissed all of us. Its clear he will not change.

There's not much I can say tbh. Not a good prof and teaches like we all know the material already. He does the first step of an equation and says to figure the rest out by ourselves. First midterm was mad messed up and the class average was a 35%. Gives useless practice questions since midterms are some next stuff. AVOID at all costs no cap.

He is so bad I wanna give him a 0 but that's not possible so I'll give him a 1. If you see him in your schedule switch, he is not a bad person, I personally he is just not good at teaching the material.

Does not care if students understand the content. Extremely hard tests Study guides he gives are useless

First and foremost, Victor is not a bad person. However, he can not speak English properly despite that he has been teaching for almost a decade. He has a very thick accent and speaks really fast. I only attended the first few classes then I decided to teach myself instead because it is much easier this way.

midterm and final is rlly hard.

He has a very heavy accent which makes it so much harder to understand the concepts and information.

IF YOU CAN AVOID HIM, DO IT! Worst teacher at this school, the accent and his rate of speech is extremely hard to understand. The midterm and finals are hard, and the reviews never look like the test. Best of luck, to you all... I wish I knew this before.

Don't take his class unless you really have to and there aren't any other options. He has a heavy accent and speaks really fast, which makes it difficult for most students to understand him. Unfortunately, the homework and course content is way easier than the exams. Students typically rely on homework to pass his course.

If you took advanced functions/calculus in high school this course is just a recap of math from grades 9-12. There is homework that is graded each week that's used to make up your final grade so make sure you do well on that so it can act as a grade booster since the only marks for this class are from homework, the midterm, and final exam

I dont know if this guy is speaking english

Absolutely awful

Seems like a kind person, however, his accent is too thick and he speaks very quickly. He brushes over the slides and does not take the time to explain them in depth for students.

Very hard to understand

do NOT take this professor. switch out at ALL costs.

You know when people ask... what advice would you give to your younger self? For me, it would be to stay far, far away from this professor. I'm being so serious-- literally switch to anyone else and you'd have a better time. For your 2024 New Year's resolutions, it should be to swap this guy's class. He doesn't even speak english!! Nothing personal

horrible, just horrible

Worst professor of my entire life. His class made me want to drop out of college. You cannot understand anything he says and his midterms are impossible. He overcomplicates every single problem and confuses his students. Stay away at all costs.

Attending lectures might as well be completely useless because of how difficult he is to understand and his tendency to choose the worst possible way to explain concepts. He is always unnecessarily overcomplicating things, and barely gives clear answers to students' questions.

His accent was tough to understand and he overcomplicates everything instead of explaining it step-by-step, he tended to expect we already knew everything. The exams also were nothing like what we learned in the lectures or like the reviews with the TA, they were way harder. Choose anyone else.

Pros: cares about students, tries to help. Cons: thick accent, and terrible at explaining concepts at a base level. He always tries to show the "why" instead of the how, too much theory and no application. Clogs up his lectures, as this causes students to burn out by the end of class. if you can find a better prof, FIND a BETTER PROF.
