Reviews of professor Jer-Chin Chuang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor is incredibly lazy - no grading, no slides (writes on blank paper), minimal test prep, & repeatedly ignores students' concerns. Lectures, hw, & discussions aren't helpful for tests (worth 75% of the overall grade) & cover obscure concepts w/ questions purposely designed to be confusing. He only cares about his precious class average.

Prof. Chuang's lecture is deep in understanding and very helpful in building an intuitive take on linear algebra. He often includes nice side examples and geometric explanation of linalg terms. Python assignments are also well-designed. Moodle concept quizzes are a bit challenging and requires complete understanding of lecture materials.

Awful, very awful class as a foundation math for engineering and science major. Class structure from him makes too many concepts pack together that make students difficult to understand, and exams would highly test you on your conceptual understanding but you have not learned that through his lectures. You also need to self-learn Python.

The way he lectures makes math seem like a story, which is cool except that makes it very hard to follow what we need to know for exams. The examples he does in class are too basic to be really helpful. You learn far more just by watching the video lectures. Attendance isn't taken so if you can just go to another professor's lectures, do that.

Dr. Luke is a good person who is passionate about linear algebra, but unfortunately not a great professor. His handwriting is often very difficult to read, along with no provided lecture notes given. The tests are also way too conceptually heavy, and you need to do the math 415 practice tests to do well. Would recommend doing this test at a cc.

The test system and the course design are so bad. I could barely see the relationship between the lab session, the homework, the lecture, and the tests. I would say that if you don't have such a genius brain like mine, you will probably blow your GPA. PS: I still don't understand how a priestman can teach linear algebra.
