Reviews of professor Nan Chen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nan Chen truly wants everyone who takes his class to understand the material and get a good grade. Nearly all of the exam questions are taken right from the HW, so do the HW! He is always encouraging and helpful during office hours. If you have the chance, take 234 with Chen!

Honestly his lectures were confusing, as it was hard to tell what was important and what wasn't. I had a tough time telling the proofs apart from the formulas, which made reviewing a bit harder. He did include many examples that did end up helping. Tests on the other hand were mostly easy but had obscure homework problems that can kill a grade.

Definitely one of the best in business. I love how his lectures are short yet super effective in conveying concepts. He is also very caring and considerate to extenuating circumstances that students may experience. I once had a problem with my internet while I was trying to finish an exam. Chen didn't hesitate to work things out. Love this guy!!!!!

Not that great of a professor. He was difficult to understand at times and basically just read straight out of a notebook for lecture. Wouldn't take him again

He was a little hard to understand and his lectures were taken essentially straight out of the textbook which was frustrating. Sometimes there were typos in his slides which were not always corrected during lecture, so if a student didn't notice the typo, they'd be screwed. However, he genuinely cares about his students, and is very accommodating.

Nan Chen was a fantastic professor, and he really cared about his students. He was always willing to help inside and outside of class, and he even convinced the math department to let him have a higher curve as our class was at 7:45 a.m. Overall an amazing teacher and a nice guy.

He was an amazing professor to teach this class. The material itself is difficult but he makes it very easy to understand. He does not assume you remember all of the old concepts you were taught years ago. Tests are based on homework and he is very good at informing you of what you will be tested on. He was very accessible and great to talk to.
