Reviews of professor Ming Chen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His lectures are well-paced, however, he is difficult to understand and does not use a projector when writing notes. This can be challenging if you're not close to the front or can't hear him from where you sit. The final is worth 50% of your grade and there is no homework to help keep your average up throughout the semester. Gives pop quizzes.

Do the homework, attend lectures, and go to recitation and you'll pass. Dr. Chen has in-class problem solving and will go back and explain anything you have a question about. He curved all of the tests very generously and provided an extra credit quiz for the final. He's friendly, funny, and told the class he would write us recommendation letters.

I had Dr. Chen for his 1st time to teach undergrad. First, he is difficult to understand. He also treated us like grad students: his tests were very difficult and he was very vague about grades. He took forever to finally confirm a scale that saved everyone from failing. He is a nice guy and seems to care, but he should stick to grad courses.

His lectures move at a good pace and he does not rely too heavily on the textbook notes. If you go to class and do the practice problems he assigns you should do well on the tests.

O chem is hard no matter who you have. Ming chen goes over everything you need to know and gives worksheets that are great practice. He also does an awesome review session. He is kind and even if you say something stupid, he kindly says 'maybe someone can help you out'. Lowest test gets dropped. Go to class. DO THE HOMEWORK! great professor.
