Cool teacher, very helpful. Tests are usually the same as homework and classwork just rewritten (pretty easy). Do the HW, pass the class. Highly Recommended!!
awesome teacher, very nice, and very helpfull, its a hard subject but if you do the HW and participate you will pass!
Great professor. Extremely helpful. Tests come from classwork. Sounds corny but he made me love math!
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
hes cute, and he knows how to teach math. hes there if you need help with anything, and hes young and vibrant- smiles alot makes jokes- not a burnt out grump. recommend him for sure. math is hard but he makes sure everyone understands.
I have him now. Best math teacher I've ever had. MAkes me want to come to class everyday. We are moving at a very fast pace because its a winter class. But i understand everything he teaches. The good thing about the way he teaches is he lets us try to do the problems first. Other professor just do it by themselves! Best teacher ever.
Mr. Cheng is the best Math Professor that I've ever met. He loves all of his students and he is extremely helpful. His class is very interesting and he makes everyone understand what he teaches. I become to love Mathematics since I have his class in winter.
This professor is very helpful. I would highly recommend this teacher for any math class. It's makes it fun and enjoyable. Hopefully, he gets to teach precal, and calculus every semester since that he's number one love and passion.
OMG THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! HAD HIM DURING THE WINTER SO IT WAS VERY FAST PACED BUT I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING HE TAUGHT AND I'M NOT SO GOOD AT MATH. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT MATH AND ACTUALLY ENJOYS TEACHING. REVIEWS FOR EXAMS AND MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE MATERIAL. WALKS AROUND THE CLASS TO HELP STUDENTS WHO NEED IT!! AMAZING!
Great professor! If you want to understand math and pass, take him. He's very helpful, clear in explaining things to the class and encourages students to ask questions if they don't understand.
Best Math Professor Ever! He loves math and enjoy teaching, he really cares about you! Tests are fair, very fun and patient guy. I have not had math class for four years, but doing well in his pre-cal class.
Good professor!!!He is very easy-going and ready to help students.The tests he gives are all based on the notes,not stricky at all.And he always makes the class atmosphere relaxing and fun.I really enjoy his lecture.Take it!
Cheng is the best Math Professor ive had at qcc! He is always patient in teaching he makes it interesting and has a really good sense of humor! his tests are pretty simple just study his notes and u will be fine!
He's a great professor but goes a little fast. Make sure you come to every class or you'll be way too far off. He's a very nice and funny guy
HE IS THE BEST!!
The best dam math prof @qcc. i kid you not. Omg i love his method of teaching, and he has different ways of showing you how to figure out math problems. are you still reading this? you better drop everything and register for his class, it can make a difference between an A and a D, you won't regret it.
Great guy, keeps your attention on the subject, does not require you to purchase the book, posts his notes online in powerpoint, and his notes are clear and easy to understand,gets straight to the point. He really wants you to pass and urges you to ask questions. He is very helpful and is overall a great Prof, the CUNY system needs more like him.
I lovee him thats all I can say. He is the best professor at qcc. He is so funny, down to earth, always there to help you and very good looking. I ve never got an A in math and in his class I did. He reviews for all of his exams , just study and you will do good. If you dont take his class you will regret it .
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!
Steven is such a cool&fun teacher! I took this class in a condensed winter session and thought it'd be difficult, but Steven really helped me and the other students pull through it! His tests are alright, and the final was great b.c he used previous test questions on it! I highly recommend Cheng, you'll love the class as long as you work hard!
Very cool professor. He made me fall in love with math. He is so funny!!! Very flexible. He doesn't require to do the homework, but if you do it, you will pass all his tests with flying colors!!! He also gives you a lot of extra credits! Highly recommend him!
very good professor since every1 needs a math class if u take 120 your best bet is to take him
Take him if you want to pass!! He's an awesome guy and very clear and helpful. I'm horrible at my but he helped me understand everything we needed to know. With him pre- calc was a breeze.
Awesome professor!! Aka Dj on the Moon :):) Really knows how to communicate well with other students and he is very friendly! Easy A if u study all the notes from class!!! FYI he does not require a text book and a hint u do not really need to do the homework !!! Just make sure u review the problems u did in class b/c the same prom lens comes back, he only changes the number slightly!!!!! I wish he reaches math 441 :)
AWESOME,AMAZING and Funny. I'm telling you'll the truth...he's very straight forward in terms of clarity. He would also go out of his way to help whomever.D.J. Stevie G. you rock for the Summer'12....alright..alright.
What can I say , i took him for the summer MA336. his class is fun, very clear, easy class to pass, he briefly explains what your going to see on the test so you only focus on that. And lets you use a cheat sheet for your exam. His notes are all on blackboard. Take him! And gives extra credit!
BEST TEACHER EVER
He's a great professor and human being! He loves what he does and that really comes across in his teaching. I had him for PreCalculus and he is just as wonderful as everyone else says. But Pre-Cal has a lot of information so make sure to work hard bc its not as easy as I thought it could be but if anyone can get you thru it will be him!!:)
Best professor ever! I took him in the winter for pre-calculus and he was very helpful. He explained everything and gave extra credit to help boost you're grade. I hated math until I had him. Wish he taught calculus.
Great professor!
Best math professor ever. Very kind an nice human being. He is very helpful. He loves math, and after you take his class you will love math too. He makes everything so easy.
He is a very good professor. He really cares for his students and wants to see everyone succeed and he goes out of his way to help you do so. He is truly an asset to QCC! Take him if you can! :)
This guy is pretty goofy, but in a good way. He's entertaining. As for easiness, I gave him a 5 because math comes easy to me, but the grades for clarity and helpfulness are purely based on his teaching style. He's a cool guy that enjoys math and enjoys teaching. You can really see that in his enthusiasm. One of the coolest math professors at QCC.
Very Very Nice Professor!!
You can see that the teacher likes what he is doing. He has a high level of humor and keep the students alive.He has a great method of teaching and he is willing to help.He is one of the best teachers I've ever had at qcc. I absolutely recommend him.
Best teacher in qcc explains everything 100 percent clear and cares for students
take him if you want to learn math and pass hes the best teacher in qcc explains everything clearly i advise you to ask questions he will be gladly to answer them and even if one person does not understand he will help you until you do
His ridiculous humor will keep you to be focus and enjoy statistics with a breeze. Overall this was a pretty easy class to pass as long as you studied/ practiced the required material. He will always be there if you had any questions! Definitely will recommend him if you need to take statistics...he's #1~
Took him for Stats for the summer. Thought class was hard because it was going by so fast. He funny and be sure to study
One of my favorite professors so far! This is actually hard for me to say since i HATE math! But he just made it so simple. He is funny and cares for his students.
He is the best. Very helpful. If you want to learn math take him. No homework no text book required. Class work and all the exams comes straight from the notes and review sheet.
he is very nice and funny professor! he likes to talk about his life a lot specially about his pets. lol He does not give you homework so you can have extra point. a few test, midterm and the final .
Professor Cheng is one of the best in QCC. A must take prof. He does not check or grade the homework but you must do it because the test are based on some of the HW problems. You will pass if you study hard, remember is calculus and the is no easy professor like him!
OK professor. Lectures entertaining with tons of jokes. BUY THE TEXTBOOK & DO THE ASSIGNMENTS. Homework isn't mandatory but he uses the homework problems on the test. He gives study sheets (with answers attached) without an in class review. Plus the sheet was nothing like test. But he is a fair grader. Gives top points for showing your work.
Best math professor in qcc. I'd take him for every math course if I could.
He's good, had I put more time into his class I would've definitely gotten an A. Stupid orgo and physics...
Prof Cheng was one of my favorite professors. He makes math very easy to comprehend. I had him for MA 121 (Trig) in the winter & MA 119 (College Algebra) in the fall. HE'S REALLY THE BEST!!!
He is an amazing professor. His tests are really easy and he is very funny.
Just pure jokes!
Professor Cheng is such a wonderful teacher. I took MA10 several times and failed. I decided to take it with him and I PASSED! Obviously, I'm not a math person but he made it so easy for me to understand the material. He always encourages the class to ask questions. I would definitely take him again. PLEASE take him! Also, he's a funny guy!
Great professor that is very humorous and explains everything clearly. Made my math class very enjoyable and I would take him for every math class if I could. Show up everyday and you'll be sure to pass with flying colors.
He was an awesome professor. He was one of my math professors that helped me understand math again. He gave homework but u had to buy the book and go online. It was tedious but it helped you when you were studying for his tests. Plus he makes the class fun by telling jokes so it's never really a dull moment.
He makes class enjoyable and math really simple. If you have failed in the past and gave up on math, this is class is for you. He's honestly a great professor. He teaches really wel and is super helpful. There is no way you could fail. Do your part and he will put his.
My favorite math prof at QCC. He understands the struggle of being a student, and how most people don't like math. He makes it fun while engaging students by asking them to go up to the board to share answers for extra credit. While his tests aren't too challenging, his class is really fun. I recommend him to everyone! Oh also, he will make you LOL
Get ready for a comedy show.
Amazing professor, funny, etiquette and inspiring, wonders where all the good professors. Comedian and very very fun class
Prof. Cheng is a tough grader, but easy to get along with. If you're struggling with he's there to help but the motivation to pass is on you.
Stats is one of the hardest classes out there but somehow Mr. Cheng makes it understandable. I took the class in the winter so there was a lot of new stuff to learn everyday. You have to study a lot in order to get good grades on the tests. If you're not good at math, take Cheng.
Amazing! passed math with ease after failing once before. He's funny and makes learning not as bad. He give plenty extra credit and also gives partial credit. If you struggle with math take him & you'll pass!
He is a really good teacher. He would stop and explain the material a couple of times if someone doesnt understand. 3 tests, final is cumulative. one statistical report since the class was Writing intensive but he made it really easy to make the report. Good class. Would take again. Test are not hard or tricky if you study. He is pretty funny too.
when I grow up I want to be just like Steven Cheng!
Great professor but this semester covered too much work and too short time. Couldn't keep up or understand with class lectures only had to do learning center
BEST PROFESSOR AT QCC! He makes math understandable and fun. He's hilarious and so easy going. Ive had him for both 119 and 336 and I will forever miss this gentle soul. I do no think I will ever encounter a professor like him in my lifetime. He has made such an impact on my life and has taught me so much. He's so relatable. I will def miss him!!!!
Solid choice prof for kids who know what their doing if your lost in math not a good choice he tries to really get the math across and teach the reasons behind the steps 4 exams drops lowest grade hw is optional gives and give ec
Professor Cheng is the best math teacher. I was not good at algebra but when i took this class, i became confident and excited to solve problems correctly.I was the third person to get a 100 on the final exam in that course overall i think; maybe there were more because my classmates were smart. Professor Cheng is awesome and dedicated to help you
Do not take his class if you already have a heavy class that requires a lot of attention. He gives reviews before test, shows everything on PowerPoints, 1 essay per week. Sadly he was very unorganized around finals week and rushed over a lot of material. He is a kind man, but side tracks a lot. Class will sometimes feel never ending.
Steven Cheng was one of my best professor in QCC. He's an amazing professor, helpful, clear explanation. I had a winter class with him, e was so helpful. After he even waited two more extra hours for students who needs help. If you work seriously from beginning of semester you can get an A. I strongly recommended him. you won't regret.
Not a fan of math BUT Prof Cheng changed that! Simplified easy to understand! Funny teacher, knows what he is doing!!!
Best math professor at QCC!
True gem at QCC!! Clear examples and cares about his students. Put in the work and you will pass the class. I use to have anxiety with math and he helped me overcome that; study, practice and ask questions. He's always available... you don't know until you know. His class is #'s without fear. Great!!!
REALLLLLLLLYYY GREAT TEACHER THIS IS MY 4th TIME TAKING THIS CLASS AND IM FINALLY CONFIDENT ABOUT PASSING
amazing, awesome, absolutely the best professor in QCC.
He's awesome. SO funny and cool. Makes the work look so easy, never really did good in math and i excelled in his class! HW due every week and grades are given back fast. He's always available when needed. Do your part and you'll pass no problem. Does alot of review for students who need it. I already have him on my schedule for next semester.
If you dont understand math TAKE IT WITH Mr. Cheng. He really takes his time to make sure you understand the material. He doesnt make the material seem intimidating. As long as you come to class and pay attention, you will understand this material. He is very generous with extra credit and makes it very easy to pass. Great personality WONT REGRET
Best math teacher ive had since my elementary days. If im taking a math course it will for sure be with mr cheng.
Honestly one of the best stats prof at the college . He wants to see his students excel and he tries to help you out in the best way possible . Gives extra credit , class is entertaining because hes funny and he knows the material and explains it very well . Highly recommended prof if youre taking statistics .
Professor Cheng is amazing! Class consisted of four exams including the final, he also offers extra credit at the end of the semester. He likes to see that youre making an effort so study, show up, and participate, and along with his guidance you will do well. He saw the resilience in me I never saw in myself when it came to math. Def take him!!
Professor Steven Cheng is a really caring and awesome person. He will always stay extra time in class to help you better understand anything you have trouble with. Not only that but in the first day of class you can tell by his personality hes a really cool, nice and funny person. Ill never forget Professor Cheng, take him, you wont regret it.
He made everything easy for math and very lenient too. I miss him a lot.
Hes very unclear about how to do certain problems & classes were very rushed. He came 20 min late everyday & then wouldnt start class another 10 min so when it came time for the test no one had a clue what to do. He blames his students for poor tests grades&says he will curve grades but he never does&makes students feel stupid for asking question
Very lenient, and humble professor. Really enjoyed his class, finally passed after taking algebra before. Keeps the class alive with his humor, but teaches slow and makes sure you understand all the topics. One of the best professors at qcc.
A very humble professor and his lectures are very understanding. His lectures are mainly online so if you struggle with math this is a really good professor to learn from. He teaches you step by step on how to get things done. I would recommend him to anyone.
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.
Great teacher, never understood math until i took this class. I highly recommend him.
Algebra made easy by this professor.
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.
I really enjoyed his class. He has a sense of humor and makes math problems really easy. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
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!
I took this class in Fall of 2023 so a bit while ago. Honestly under him, math became a breeze. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to take him
Harsh grader, will take points off completely for the smallest things. Wouldn't take this professor again, he's too much.
He is the best professor ever! Take him you won't regret it!!
He drops your lowest test and quiz grade.
Having him at summer class and he somehow made hard stuff became not that hard. Time flies when you're on his lecture
