"Verbatim" is how I would sum up his presentation of the lectures. He read the PowerPoints verbatim. I believe the Dr. Deng wants you to succeed and he is very nice. The exams were VERY EASY if you read the textbook. The class project in MS Access was pretty easy if you pay attention to his examples he does in class. Overall I enjoyed his class.

I believe Dr. Deng wants his students to succeed and is nice. However, he reads verbatim from his PowerPoints and provides no additional value to the lectures. He provides zero to little grading criteria for assignments and the final project. For the final group project, he doesn't provide adequate direction. Exams are textbook-based and easy.

Very hard to understand and does not put grades in ever. Been months since class started and he still has no grades In so i don't know how to see how I'm doing in the class. Again, very hard to understand.

Professor Deng can be a bit confusing when it comes to explaining certain things, but if you ask him to re-explain he will. Make sure you pay attention when he does projects. If you do exactly what he shows you, you should get an A on the projects which makes up most of your grade. Quizzes are just like the projects so take good notes. Open notes.

I Love prof Deng, he grades incredibly lightly. I literally think you automatically get a 70% by turning in assignment with just ur name on it. He cares about his lectures, If you don't show up to class though you will not pass. Open note for quizzes and the final exam. I never studied, only showed up to class and I received an A-. Deng is amazing

Took him for MIS 4180 and I would recommend. He cares about his students and is easy to reach outside of class. Exams and assignments are all open book and super easy. Other group project for this class requires a surprising amount of coding that he assumes students have learned before. Helps students out however if you go to him.

Second time with deng wish i could take him again! His lectures are a bit dry but hes so passionate about this it makes you want to listen. He does everything with you in class and sends you home with a small fill in the blank hw. Super caring and always helpful when asking questions. Will sit there after class for hours and in office hours! Great!

Basically he is a really easy grader that gives easy HW and easy Tests. I only have 2 issues with the class. The lecture style can be BRUTAL. He uses the entire class time and honestly the way he talks makes it hard to pay attention at times. 2nd issue is idk how much I like giving the option to be online. It is hard to pay attention online.

He is always smiling. You can tell he enjoys teaching the class and it shows. The only downside is the class is entirely focused on paying attention to the lectures.

Most boring professor ever. If you truly want to learn something you have to go in person. Idk how anyone can make it through his 3 hour lectures and learn. Very easy grader though so if you are just trying to get through he is great.

had him for MIS 4180 and the class required 2 textbooks. Each lecture he would read off P.P. slides for three hours and it was boring. Lets students choose to attend class via zoom or in person and for the hw all u had to do was copy and paste from textbook. Midterm and final both short essay format. His Accent kind of thick.

He's like a caring robot. He will read every letter, word, and sentence off his slides in his excruciatingly, monotone, and heavy Chinese accent. But he's adorable so I forgive him. Easy A

Professor Deng knows his stuff, he will lecture for 3 hours, but it's solid material. He is an easy grader, just do the work and you will just pass the class. Sometimes he doesn't provide a full explanation on how to do an assignment, but he will always be available to help if you don't understand. Take his classes if you have a chance!

Deng saves this class because he cares about the material. He was accessible outside of class, responding to emails within a day. Homework is super easy, tests are open note, the project is the one thing I had to really lock in for.
