good teacher, prepares you well for tests

A great professor for taking Discrete Math. I liked his style of teaching, and had a great way of conveying all the mathematical concepts.

Took Chin for all 3 courses under BMS. Great teacher! You don't need the book...he gives fantastic notes. If you pay attention and study the examples, you'll do well.

His class was pretty easy, although his teaching methods aren't of the most interesting I've had. He really is a good guy though and willing to help you out if you need it.

He tries to explain things as best he can, but that's not always enough. Still, he constantly tries to help if you don't understand. Nice guy all around.

He's a bit boring, nice, but easy. His expectations are very clear. The only thing I hated were those extra problems besides the regular homework; they were pretty challenging.

I dont know what all these bad comments are about! Chin is a great guy- he explains EVERYTHING to the last detail, and if you have a question...ASK! He will make sure you understand it. VERY clear about exams, gives you practice exams which are almost IDENTICAL. He let me take my exam early so I could go on vacation for Spring Break. TAKE HIM!!!!!!

It was a very easy class. It is based on a quiz every week and a final paper. I missed 3 of the classes and I am pretty sure I didnt do well on the tests. I still passed with a 'B' He is a very interesting professor.

he tends to go off topic and talks about cats a lot, but other than that he is a pretty good teacher.the midterm and final are curved. the only thing is, you need to go to class for the quizzes because those are a big part of your grade.

Great teacher! Explains everything clearly. Not nerdy and no accent, unlike half the math department. Daily quizzes are easy as long as you have a clue as to what is going on.

The best BMS Professor one can possibly have at DePaul! He is always ready to help, plus he grades easy. I am not very good at Math, but I understood everything he explained. If you listen in class, take notes, and do the homework, you will definitely get a B or higher. I highly recommend this professor. He is just the best!

I suck at math but did great! He grades pretty easily. Plus he doesn't try to trick you and the quizzes aren't bad if you pay attention. Highly recommended.

As good as can be for a hard class

great focal point class, five weeks on blackjack and five weeks on poker... first half of the class you talk about math and odds, second half you play in tournaments for extra credit... grade is based on homework, one quiz, and a book report... pretty easy A

class was fun and profitable

easy class

He is one of the best professors I've had so far at DePaul. Explains everything, willing to answer questions, easy grader. He tries to make the material interesting.I highly recommend him.

Good class made more fun by teacher. Don't divide by zero or you will DIE BY ELECTROCUTION

Esay class, for me. Each week has a quize, mid-term and final are based on the homework which do not have to turn in.

Good teacher explains everything well. If you get too far behind and ask a question that is obvious he will not answer. Quiz every week, midterm, and final. Both have simple problems and are fairly easy if u do the hw

Straightforward class if you do the work. Teacher is clear about what you need to know and goes over it repeatedly. Slacker will fail however. Easy to get an A if you hit the reveiw sheets hard. No Mercy if you don't.

great class on using math to gamble. I plan on going to Vegas a use card counting techniques and to beat the texas holdem games.

I liked professor Chin. your grade is made up of one week quizzes, midterm and final & he curves. I got A's on both with out the curve. Just listen and do the optional homework and you'll be set. He goes over the problems you dont understand in the beginning of class too! go to class & do homework and you'll get an A

Possibly the greatest math professor I have ever experienced. If you know basic algebra, you can do great in his class. He is extremely knowledgable, and his notes and lecture are all-encompassing. I didn't know any calculus prior to the class and with his help I got an A on every test. He also keeps the class fun with his sense of humor. Genius

Easy class, just need to know material from previous classes. Lots of students asking questions about material from algebra, not surprised they didn't do well. Know the material and do the optional homework - quiz and test problems are just like the in-class questions. Easy A.

This has been a great class. All you need to do is sit in the front of the class, take the notes, and ask questions if you don't understand. The quizzes were easy and the midterm was strait forward. I have yet to take the final. Also Mr. Chin is hilarious. He is a classic geek and weirdly funny.

He knows his material, makes a lot of smarty humor jokes that most classes are too brain dead to notice. He goes through everything well. Quizzes were all online as well as midterm/final. If ever have questions he always knows the answer. Not to mention he has written many papers on calculus.

Favorite professor thus far. If you are decent with logic problems and probability you will have no problem earning an A. If you are not very math oriented however he will not waste time catching you up. That being said he's one of the wittiest professors here and should be spending his time back in Vegas counting cards. Total Genius.

Chin's class is easy if you understand basic math. He is the best math teacher at DePaul and actually teaches his students. All of his weekly quizzes, midterm, and final are open note and online. He also teaches where you only meet once a week and the other part is taught online. If you have a problem with a quiz grade, email him and he'll fix it.

Great professor. Midterm is sooooooo easy, just memorize the review he gives you. Trust me, take him.

Professor Chin is not a bad professor. Class is easy even with no Pre-calc or Calculus experience. Most of my struggles in his class are due to not paying attention and falling asleep. The only things that matter are the midterm and final, which account for over 65% of your grade. You need to do the homework and you have a guaranteed A.

Prof. Chin is a great professor. He teaches you what you need to know in order to succeed in the class. Additionally, he gives ample opportunity for you to achieve 100% on the homework grade which is a major portion of your grade. Simply put the effort in (study a lot) and you will pass with an A.

Professor Chin is very smart and intelligent. He has an odd sense of humor, but it is funny nevertheless. As long as you show up and do what you need to do outside of class, it really is not bad.

HW and quizzes are really easy. Midterm and Final are online, but taken in class.

I had Professor Chin for both MAT135 and MAT136 and honestly his class was an easy A (and this is coming from someone who isnt normally an A student when it comes to math). Just know that its hybrid so you only have class once a week and the majority of the material is online. I learned some from this professor but learned most from mylabsplus.

If this class wasn't majorly online I'm not sure I would give such a kind review, but I feel I did well in this class. I had previous calculus experience, and learned/reviewed most from his posted videos and MyLabsPlus. He seems nervous when he teaches in person, even though I can tell he's very knowledgeable. highly recommend the hybrid class.

William Chin (or Billy as he is commonly referred to as) is a great professor, but he is kind of goofy. I remeber one day in MAT 135, the clocks were slighly off, and by slighly, I mean that they were an hour and ten minutes ahead. So twently minutes into class, everyone got up and left, thinking that class was up. Chin did nothing, except whimper.

Mr. Chin is honestly one of the most inspiring professors I had at DePaul. He gets paid to barely do anything because all of his assignments and exams are online. If you want an easier path to mathematical success, TAKE CHIN! I was a marketing major but Chin convinced me to switch to a calculus major with a minor in culinary arts. Highly recommend!

Professor Chin is really chill and I mean really chill. The class is hybrid, however there is no penalty for late homework and both the final and midterm are online taken in class, but it's like you're taking it at home. He curved the midterm as well. I recommend him if you are looking for an easy A, however you will probably not learn much.

Where to begin! Chin should literally be a god. This guy is magical. When it comes to mathematical problems, there is nothing he cant solve! One day, I saw him at a car wash. I said Hello Professor Chin! He didnt recognize me. That was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. He then agreed to help me out with the class at Starbucks.

Professor Chin honestly changed my life. He has taught me the ways of Calculus, where he used real world examples every day such as the Jackson street example. He has the mind of a ninja, where you never know his next move but he we will always surprise you in a good way. He likes to be called Professor Chinsta. Take him! Easy A! Online exam! Chin!

Very straight forward class. Mylabs assignments every week with a 5 question quiz too. One midterm/final that aren't proctured. Personally wasn't a fan of his lectures and never listened to them. If you're good at teaching yourself from a text book this is good class to take.

From reading the textbook, to watching his lectures, and then doing the HW, the class is pretty straight forward. If you're good at self teaching and math you'll do fine. I didn't talk to him outside of class and still got a good grade. Pay attention to the calculator functions and you'll be OK.

You have around 2 assignments due a week (about 2-3 hrs worth of hw). the answers are on chegg but with you different numbers. the midterm is 15-20 questions and the final is 20 questions. he responds to emails pretty fast.

I'm a returning student after 20 years to DePaul wrapping up an Accounting degree. I thought Professor Chin's video lectures coupled with the supporting videos were a bit heavy, but more than enough to get a good grade. I simply followed the instructions, banged out the homework (and not last minute) and got an A. I highly recommend Prof Chin!

Took him for MAT 137 online and he's a chill guy the class consists of 2 excel assignments, pearson homework, midterm, and final he's very easy to get ahold of via email or zoom if you have questions I would recommend others to take him for MAT 137

The professor used WebWork for homework and exams, and had strict deadlines, so it's best that you do the homework early. Lecture videos were sometimes confusing, but he can help with clarification if you send him an email. Very respectful towards his students. Try not to procrastinate on the assignments and study, and you'll be fine :^)
