Reviews of professor Charmaine Sia

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor is really nice and open to help but lectures are really dry because the professor just reads off the notes. Weekly quizzes are rough because they are really short but add up to 15% of your grade.

She's an ok lecturer and a very nice person--very accessible in office hours and will take the time to make you understand. Course material can be rough and sometimes she moves through the content too quickly but overall a solid class

She was just not very helpful in helping us learn material. Often time the materials on exams / quizzes would be a lot harder than the examples we did in class. I'd recommend looking for someone else.

Her lectures are really boring, and she uses prewritten notes, which I personally do not like. She also assigns homework which takes a fair amount of time. However, it does prepare you very well for exams, and the exams themselves are very straightforward in addition to being curved, which made up for her mundaneness

Cannot give a lecture to save her life, overcomplicates the most simple of topics. Gives us a project due two days before the final on something completely outside of the scope of the class and expects us to teach it to ourselves.

Lectures may be boring, but at least you can find the notes online on OneNote. So no fear of missing notes from note-taking. Plenty of practice during class and very in depth details on the topic. Quizzes every Thursday except on weeks of exams. So no fear of a pop-quiz. Ample homework with a total of 2 weeks to complete it. Reachable on Campuswire

Undoubtedly one of the best math professors at NYU. Gives projects well before deadlines, allows flexibility, very accessible outside and after the class. Linear Algebra is a little tough but if you follow her lecture notes (one of the best available resources on linear algebra), then you should be all set for quizzes and exams.

Very good professor, good enough so that every of her taught class you can easily get an F.
