Reviews of professor Dong Chen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Just Avoid! Very tough assignments, which wasn't even his own.. Just copied from other schools like Duke. Didn't gave any explanation on how to complete it and told to ask the TA's who were the absolute worst. They were very unhelpful and rude. The lectures and exams had nothing to do with the assignments so felt like taking two classes.

People that write negative stuff, just want the grades but can not accept working hard to get it. The good thing about him is that he knows the topic he is teaching or talking about. He is unfortunate to be at a school where people aren't looking for knowledge.

Dr. Dong Chen is my hero.

Overall good, I should get A based on my ranking. Final is very simple. He decreased the lab difficulties to compensate for Covid-19 and remote teaching. His TA is very strict but very *fair*, and ensures everyone is following the rules. He did over 95% lectures on Zoom streaming which my other professors did not do or were not willing to do. Cool

His exams are rather straightforward however I cannot say the same for his quizzes. The grade is very heavily dependent upon the quizzes and exams. His lecture notes are quite unorganized and he does not provide many resources if you are struggling with material.

Just don't do it. His assignments are from another school and very complicated. Him and TA's do not help and give vague responses. Take anyone but him.

labs were not hard since I asked TAs frequently. He prepared new slides not using the prior year'. The midterm review had 90% overlaps with my midterm. The final review had 80% showed up in my exam. Surprised to see the bad reviews here. The course itself is hard in my major. You can also take the easier summer OS which is taught by MDC teacher.

I cannot understand his lectures as his accent is incredibly strong. He does not answer his emails no matter how important they are. He gets mad at the students for asking questions about an exam in which he included a lot of questions that were not covered in previous lectures.

One of my favorite professors at FIU, unfortunately, I heard that he is gone and probably moved up. Very clear reviews for exams, very clear lectures, and awesome handouts!!!!

He's a great, calm, down to earth professor. He explains things in a very clear way and is very open to questions and gives clear answers to them. He has an accent but I didn't have trouble understanding what he was saying.

Dr. Chen was a great professor and always came to lecture with a smile on his face. He was easy to understand and taught difficult math at our level.
