Reviews of professor Junsen Tang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures can be difficult to understand. Be ready to do learning on your own outside of the class. His teaching got better as the semester progressed, but we got behind in the lectures and there were some concepts that were not completely explained.

Has useless slideshows that do not go along with the book. Does not finish examples in class. Examples in class are absolutely useless to help with homework. Homework is just random problems found on past actuary exams. Professor does not care if the class is understanding. If one person understands everything, then everyone does.

Overall not very clear with his lectures but the homework load was very light. I wouldnt take him again.

Tang is a super nice guy that is actually pretty funny at times. But his lectures can be pretty difficult to follow and if you want a good grade you gotta be prepared to devote a ton of time outside of class to relearn the material. He goes over what is expected on the tests the class before which is helpful.

He's a relatively new professor and it shows. Lectures weren't very clear. I basically had to learn on my own using an exam FM study manual. I'd say avoid if possible but there might not be any other prof teaching it. Definitely get a study manual for FM if you take him.

I have no clue what is happening at any point during any lecture, test, or homework. And he'll laugh at kids for wrong answers. Like come on.
