Reviews of professor Tony Lin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
as long as you practice the study quizzes/exams you can definitely pass. he grades homework based on the accuracy of one problem and will always provide a practice exam a week before the actual exam. you can use the textbook and cheat sheet on quizzes and exams. there's a big curve at the end of the semester.

Wonderful guy but a horrible teacher. Pay attention to lectures. Make sure to do the sample quizzes and tests!!! They are literally what is going to be on the quiz or test just with different numbers and a curve ball question. I would also recommend looking through his slide presentations because problems on slides can be on the test.

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Quizzes often times are rote memorization from the textbook. random facts or pointless specific information about giraffes. 20 Questions in 10 minutes is expected. If you do not read the book, expect to struggle. perhaps he's better in person. But online its been a nightmare.

A lot of lecture slides, a little disorganized at times. 16 HWs can be tricky check the slides for example problems. Not the greatest lecturer. 4 case studies, 6 conceptual 20-question quizzes with no notes and 10 min to complete, 2 midterms, and a final all more difficult than the HW problems. Very helpful during office hours. Not a country club!

Although many of these Revires of Professor Lin are somewhat negative I had a good experience with him, he mostly puts similar exam and quiz questions on his slides so if you study that you should be good, the exams are usually open slides and open text with a cheat sheet.

Ur gonna get like a D cause the material is pretty hard, but the D will turn into a B after the curve. BEWARE you will not win an argument with him and he is super vindictive. Do not even bother trying to get extra points back or you will end up artificially lowering ur own grade.
