Reviews of professor Yixiong Chen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Get ready to study everything on your own! Can barely teach and hardly accessible outside class except for office hours. Barely responsive to the emails. The only good thing for this class is that he gives +10 pts extra credit3 pts online assignment + 7 pts short papers before and after each exam worth of the total grade which boosts your grade!

Professor Chen is very nice but sometime it seemed like he was struggling while teaching the material. He doesn't really explain what is going on in class so you are on your own. The course it very fast paced so buckle up and math. I don't know how this class is only 2 credit.

I took Linear Algebra with him, He started off the semester very difficult. I felt like I can never pass this class but as you keep working and don't give up, you might end up getting a good grade. Math is hard in general and this course is no joke. You really have to work hard for this class HOWEVER, HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR.

3 exams count toward 60 percent of your grade. Final counts 40 percent. He gives good partial credits on the exam as long as you understand the concept. Finish and understand the practice problems he hands out in class and you will be fine for the exam. All the exams are fair. Math 392 is not an easy course, so get ready to study hard.
