Reviews of professor Jun Chen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Chen is okay, all the material (+zoom recording) is available to you so you can always catch up if u fall behind without having to go to office hours. The class had these "TA sessions" which are also extra credit if u go to them frequently, those are very helpful. He goes pretty fast and skips steps sometimes but he pauses for ppl to ask questions.

Chen is a breath of fresh air in the AE department. Young, understanding, and respectful. He structured the course in such a way so we could succeed, which not only made the class less stressful but I also learned way more than any other major course this semester. Multiple-choice exams + take home, both being quite fair. Much better than Plotkin.

Decent professor. Nice guy, responds to emails quickly. The exams are super difficult and don't look like anything you see in class and there's not much you can do to prepare for them, unless you're super savy with Matlab already, so good luck. He curves the overall grade at the end and offers pop quizzes for extra credit.
