Reviews of professor Charles Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Liu is one of my favorites professor in UHM. He is a very nice guy, requires hand-written notes. Lectures are easy to understand, he also plays videos to make it more interesting. Easy extra credits, just attend to all the labs and do Sona. There are 4 exams, questions are straight forward, he also drops the lowest one which helps a lot.

This class was an online asynchronous class but was treated like an in-person class. Content it really heavy on the textbooks that are required for this class. Be ready to use flipgrid 3 times a week along with a lab.

Liu was one of my favorite professors last semester. He was very knowledgable on the topics discussed, and had a very fair grading system. He drops your lowest test score, and two of the lowest lab scores. Also gives extra credit. Make sure you understand all of the terms he gives on the study guides, and you'll do just fine on the exams!

"Its primarily taught by the TA," its true to a fault. Lecture videos & due dates were from previous semesters creating lots of confusion. The TA runs the (mandatory attendance) lab for questions on work, the professor is hard to reach and gives vague answers when asked a question. No formal textbook. Asynchronous online = SELF TAUGHT but easy.

Professor Liu was easily one of my favorite professors last semester. He was very knowledgeable and often provided insight from his professional and academic experiences. The course was lecture intensive, so it's important to regularly go to class. The exams are easy to score good on if you pay attention and study. I would definitely recommend him

To be honest, I hate classes where I have to learn most of the material on my own (Self taught). Was hoping that he would post lecture videos regarding the important parts of the chapter but posted about other stuff. Get ready to read a lot & to post 2-3 videos a week on Flipgrid.

Although the textbook is required I found that it covers the same thing as the lecture as was able to pass only going to the lecture. Although he does a lot of lectures he tries to related them back to things we understand that way its easy to remember for the test.
