the worst prof i had in 4 years. i do not know why did ottawa U allowed him to teach the 1st year math course.

Terribly hard to understand in class because of heavy accent. Not helpful after class. Tends to drone on a bit and isn't engaging.

WARNING!!! RUN - If you want an unorganized, confusing, utterly useless and appalling proff, take him! The math department actually has approved a petition signed by hundreds of students to get him OUT. He has a 60% average failure rate and the average on the midterm was 30%....do the math!

The worst teacher ever! Our class signed a petition to get him fired. We got a 40% average at the mid-term! If you get him as your math teacher, do something before it's too late!

RUDE and is only teaching for grants and money. Hard to understand, does not help when you need it and is very hard to understand. Also, in class if a student asks a question he gets pissed off, espeically if he has to go over stuff. SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING

Worse teacher ever!! Seriously...

The worst professor, hate his approach of teaching. If you signed up for his class, drop it pronto!!

Very difficult to understand, teaches very quickly and does not follow the procedures of the textbook which make it confusing to follow while doing questions.

VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND.. because he doenst speak english well, when student started talking he had trouble getting them to be quite... students didnt have much respect for him, which was dissapointing, because he knows his stuff, just not a very effective teacher...

hated every minute of his class, horrible at explaining things.

Save yourself the headache and time, just drop the course or find one with another teacher... :(. nice guy horrible teacher

I thought this professor did not generate much interest in the material in the course.

I attended every class and by the end of the semester started experiencing rage toward him. Never ever ever ever again will I permit myself to take a course with him. He does not TEACH. Throws examples at you with minimal transitional 'explanations' and sends you home. Thank god for an amazing TA! Never, ever, ever, ever again!

Terrible, must have boosted a ton of marks to get enough passes. Worst class I have ever taken

If you struggle with math, don't take it with this prof. I know a lot of people complain about Li's accent, but it's really not the problem... He just can't teach. All he does is write problems on the board and expects you to know how it's done. If you can't learn this way please for the love of god, do not take this prof.

He is hard to understand at first but after awhile you get used to it He doesnt understand questions very well and take him awhile to understand what youre asking he makes a lot of mistakes in his examples He writes really fast and you basically have to scribble it down as fast as possible which makes it hard to listen and comprehend whats going on

Miserable prof with a thick accent! HE doesn't care for the students, doesn't have a website and doesn't even reply to emails..RUN AWAY!!!

Please don't make the mistake of taking him as your prof if you don't have a good background in Calculus..!!

Very difficult to understand and he doesn't use Balckboard at all.

His lectures are horrible. Overall, he is such a nice guy even though it is sometimes hard to understand him. The course is easy, so I basically just taught myself everything. Also his tests are easy and fair.

STAY AWAY!!

You will not understand a single world he is saying after the first lecture. Get ready to use online learning and use the text book is you are not sure about something. Don't bother asking him question during lecture or any other time, he will not give you a clear answer. Just to be clear the class second midterm's average was 18% out of 100%.

i was there for every class in MAT1320 and the class was one of my hardest courses that i have ever taken. couldn't understand him and when ever i asked for help he was never helpful at all.

Worst prof ever. Unless you are a math wizard you will have a difficult time in his class and will probably do poorly. He is extremely difficult to understand, skips a lot of steps, is not helpful, and makes midterms way harder than every other section. Switch out immediately!!!

Don't take this dude's class. Just awful cant understand him, worst explanations, skips steps in his notes all the time. Straight up the worst prof I have had thus far. Notes are terrible, ended up teaching myself calc based off of khan academy and my friends notes from other classes. He's kinda jokes sometimes but he's a mess as a professor.

Very tough to understand. He expects you to know all of his little tricks that he does in his examples. He likes to believe that a lot of math is simply "common sense". I would not recommend taking his class.

Midterm average was 35% said final could be our mark. Final was tough but not as bad as midterm. Still used our midterm marks that he said he wouldn't use. Often says up 40 percent of people fail.... he's not lying. Avoid

If you know the fundamental maths concepts from highschool well you should be okay with this course. If u don't than understanding anything through this guy is next to impossible. He goes at his own pace as a guy with a PHD and takes shortcuts because he assumes everyone already knows how to use the methods. He demands u do it his way or no marks.

Awful.

If you don't have a solid base in calculus from high school, avoid this guy. His examples are not helpful at all and goes way too fast. One of the worst math profs KI ever had.

tell us that one of the two midterms don't count after second midterm, which makes students angry

worst prof I've ever had. very hard to understand what he is saying.

He goes very fast in class and skips steps even when teaching something for the first time. His exams are challenging and they are half MC so you can't get part marks. His accent makes him difficult to understand at times.

Do not take his math, avoid him at all cost. He is terrible at explaining, heavy accent , hard midterms but easier final.

Hardest math prof. I learned most material from Youtube. Had to take his class because it is the only section available. Avoid if you can!

Failed his course, studied 2 weeks from online lectures on the mat1300 website from Dr. Blute and got an A- on the supplementary exam. POINT: DO NOT TAKE HIS COURSE

Took this guy for my summer Calc 2 class. Worst experience in my life. Cant believe I didn;t drop out and just take an online course.

Midterms are super difficult. Try to avoid him or get ready to study by urself.

Be ready to study on your own. Absolutely useless prof as he speeds through questions without explaining. Good luck.

Worst Professor I have ever taken. His accent is hard to understand, but I tried not to judge him for that, however, he still sucks. He can't teach whatsoever. He speeds through questions, doesn't explain anything that he's doing and sometimes even confuses himself. If he's the only prof available you're better off taking the course another time

It's my second time to take his course, his exams are super hard and you have to practice and remember various question types then you can get good grade. Don't take his course, you'd better to try other profs'.

He is completely clueless about teaching. He is extremely difficult to understand and does not explain what he is doing or why he is doing it. He just reads what he is writing on the board without explaining anything. Avoid at all costs. You will need to seek out external resources to learn the material on your own. The free PDF textbook is awful.

Difficult to understand, doesn't really teach well, just goes through exercises. Mid-terms are out of very few questions. Had a terrible time. Studied very hard and still got a bad mark.

The guy needs to take ENG 1001 before he can teach a university math. His midterms are confusing and his sample packets do not match to the material on the final exam. Avoid at all costs.

Hard to understand. Just reads off a word document the whole semester. lots of homework. Tests are decent. Don't recommend.

Exams have subjects that are never seen on any assignments/review exercises. The overall teacher does not teach anything, personally, I learned everything from Organic chemistry and not from WeiXuan.

Aside from my understandable lack of understanding of the lectures due to the heavy accent, Professor Weixuan Li has not made an acceptable transition to online learning. Every lecture he read from cramped notes and no practise questions were done in the lecture either. I basically had to teach myself the entire course through youtube.

Worst professor ever. Don't take him his class, doesn't know how to teach.

I absolutely hated this teacher. He would just read the notes during class. He made the material so boring. The assignments and the midterms were not distributed equally. His midterms and exam question were nothing like the examples in class and he taught us more things than other classes learned. NEVER AGAIN. Don't recommend. Avoid at all matters.

Terrible lecturer. Incoherent notes which constantly had errors. Even the practice questions which he provided constantly had errors in the solutions. Midterms were difficult but doable. But the final on the other hand. Way too difficult for an exam which was 72% multiple choice. The multiple choice questions needed to be done on paper.

You have to teach yourself the whole class and the notes/lessons are so confusing. I had a mental breakdown the first class lol. Just please do yourself a favour and avoid this prof. He is the only one who knows what's going on in every lecture every student in my groupchat is lost.

The midterm had an average of 20%, other classes with different professors had an average in the 60s and 70s. Reads off a PDF only, up until I decided to start teaching myself, I had never seen him do any examples. Terrible.

if you care about your mental health dont choose this prof. He literally reads off pdf's and doesn't teach anything. Midterms are like the practice ones except harder questions the content is similar to gr.12 calculus but more stuff is added. Anyway he doesn't care at all and makes no sense which is bad AND DOESN'T TEACH ANYTHING!!

Do not take his course. Reads from a PDF class and never touches a pen. Does no practice problems in class and the ones on the pdf are terrible questions that barely show you how to solve them. I had to learn the entire course by myself from the textbook and youtube. Midterms had terrible formats and the entire class average was less than 40%

HONESTLY, IF YOU'RE GOOD AT LEARNING ALONE (TEACHING YOURSELF) YOU WILL DO REALLY WELL BECAUSE HE POSTS PRACTICE FOR THE EXAMS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ACTUAL THING. BUT, IF YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE ME AND YOU ACTUALLY WANT SOMEONE TO TEACH YOU, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! AVOID LOL!

Run in the opposite direction from this professor. Accent is hard to understand. Does not actually show how to do the math, just reads over his notes on a shared screen and waves his little cursor over them. Never checked the chat and always started very early. DGD is a hit or miss, my TA had messy hand writing and never checked the chat too.

This professor is awful at teaching. He just reads off a pre written pdf for an hour and a half at a snails pace. Midterm average was 20%. This class is supposed to be the easiest of the 3 calculus. avoid this prof at all costs. You will have to teach yourself the whole course.

Dont even bother attending the lectures if you take Li, he only reads off the slides and never picked up a pen. The first midterm was brutal with a class average below 40% and he does not curve. Youll be teaching yourself this course. Study the review questions if you cant avoid taking him!! One good thing is he kinda listens to students

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. I got an A+ in the course since I spent hours teaching myself. So, if you find yourself being forced to taking this prof:The practice examples in his notes are basically the pool of questions that go on the exams. Study these questions, textbook problems arent as important. Dont attend lectures, waste of time.

The whole course is just him reading the slides and you have to teach yourself everything. Thank god for youtube cause it's the only reason I passed

Professor Li struggled to use his computer throughout the class (frozen screen, teaching an entire class with his mic muted). He spends the entire class reading through his notes. The notes contain no graphs and no visuals. His accent is so hard to understand. By the third week of the course, only 20/200 students attended it. Do not take him!

avoid this prof at all costs. He is worsttttttttttttttttttttt professors I ever had in my entire life including high school

Avoid him at all costs . Honestly he is terrible . his accent very hard too no teaching style . you will regret if you take math with him ... if you have to other choices its self study RIP and you will be study with youtube vedios .

do not waste your time . his voice(accent ) horrible teaching style garbage .. Take any other professors better than this an old asian guy

this guy never studied at university he is self taught he does not know how to teach . absolutely garbage ! do not take him

looks innocent but terrible teacher. Just reads off the slides. Only reads theory but tests on tough examples . If you can get a different prof I would.

Horrible professor , hard accent , do not know how to explain a damn subject . He used to be self thought so do not expect learn anything from him Avoid him at all cost

no partial marks at all. either full mark or zero for long answer questions Avoid him at all cost his . Accent even worst ..! Run in the opposite direction from this professor. Does not actually show how to do the math, just reads over his notes on a shared screen and waves his little cursor over them. RIP WHOEVER TAKES HIM

A terrible teacher with a really tough accent and almost 0 teaching skills. DO NOT SKIP HIS CLASS, sure everything is online and he pretty much just reads off of his slides but he'll sometimes outline specifically what he wants for a question on the midterm. Very annoying. Good luck if you have his class

Very poor teaching style, so prepare for a lot of self-teaching.

In the beginning, I did not understand him at all - he has a very thick accent, and will mostly read off a lesson document without explaining his steps. I thought that I would build tolerance, but no, I did not haha. Midterms were suspiciously really easy (close to his lesson examples, STUDY THEM!), but the exam was horribly hard for no reason.

I honestly don't know why this profs rating is even this high. One of the worst to teach a calculus course. Just reads his notes, doesn't explain anything, and gives no part marks on the exams, except one-third of the final. Calculus does not come easily to me, so get ready for countless hours of video-watching if you're the same. Fr, good luck.

Lectures are read off of a PDF. The few examples provided are hard to follow. Theory based. Overcomplicated concepts that are covered in grade 12. Midterms were okay, but the exam and the format makes you question if you took the course. Poor experience unless you enjoy reading math typed up in Times New Romans font size 12 written horizontally.

He wasn't a good teacher overall, only reads off his notes and it doesn't always make sense. His midterms are very easy and exam is very fair, copy a decent amount of dgd questions (same numbers and format). The curves near the end of the class was also very random. I did fine in the course due to it being very similar to gr 12.
