He knows how to make one of my worst subjects fun and exciting! his class is never boring. i had dropped math twice and this will make it the 3rd time i signed up for the class with a different professor. But the school changed the professors on me and gave the class professor Cheng. Well i'm very glad it worked out that way. i'm getting 90's now!

Awesome teacher! I hated math because it was my worst subject. He made math fun like a puzzle. The way he teaches is easy to absorb because he isn't boring and old like other teachers, but in fact fun and jokes around.Tests are easy if you study and do homework. He told us that "math is not a spectator sport", You have to engage in it. Take him

Great teacher, very helpful. The only problem is he pass people that doesn't deserve to pass, when you pass a student that doesn't know the work in a lower level class; when they get to a higher level class and the work is harder they keep back the rest of the class. It's happening in my class right now!

Easy class. Its never a dull moment with this Professor. As long as you do the work and study you will pass. Math is so boring for me but professor Cheng made me enjoy going to his class.

One of the best professors Ive had hands down. Explains things very well and hes very entertaining which makes him very unique compared to other professors. Took him in the summer so he gave hw daily and went through lessons very quick but did a fine job at explaining them. Overall, great professor and if you see an open spot in the class take it

So, I took professor Cheng for the fall semester. He is an amazing professor. His recording lectures are the most clear and understandable videos I ever seen. If you need help with anything he will answer your email right away. There is homework every week but its easy. He gave us a decent amount of time to finish the quizzes and tests.

Amazing professor! He made statistics really easy to understand with his lectures, online recordings of his lectures and review sheets. Dropped your lowest grade and the lab part was really easy. His lectures can be boring at times, but hes really funny and cool. hes forgetful though, and makes mistakes with grading so always check that.

If you want to learn clear-cut math with a good amount of help, easy homework, and straightforward tests take this guy. He grades off work mostly and not the actual answer. He is also very funny, nice, and just a well round great professor. I'd take him again any time, he also has simple weekly HW assignments that will boost your grade.

Steven cheng is the most caring and respectable professor, he really cares about his students and is a really funny guy. If you want to understand the class definitely take this guy, on all of his exams he pulls out everything you learned in the lectures and is really easy on grading, his homework is a walk in a park, definitely take him.

This professor makes algebra a breeze. With his clear explanations and engaging lectures, even math-phobes like me excelled. Unstuck study's practice tools were a game-changer too. Take Cheng's class - you'll be glad you did!
