Reviews of professor Paul Lu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took this class over interterm. The class is heavily lecture-based and the only things you are graded on are homework, presentation, midterm, final, and group project. The homework and presentation are really easy, the midterm and final are MC and 2-3 problems similar to the HW. The group project is really long, make sure to have a good team.

I was scared to take this class because of the reviews. But I can honestly say the reviews do not reflect professor Lu. He is actually a fun professor to take. He is very knowledgeable about operations and super kind to help. Although the tests are tough it is still easy to get a good grade. I did poorly on both exams and still got a B.

I took this class over interterm so it was pretty fast paced. Definitely choose a good group because you'll have to pick the first week. The tests are hard but you see the types of questions he asks after the first exam. All of his classes have a grading scale of 95+ as an A.

Dry material made worse with dry lectures and bad exams. He reads from 50+ slide PowerPoints every class and then gives you exams that are nothing like his "study guides". The exams also include material that he skipped/never taught, and he wont curve despite D-grade class averages for each exam. Your grade might be saved in the end by the project.

Don't understand why professor Lu's rating is so average. He is a very nice guy who teaches using his textbook and life experiences. His homework is not overly challenging. Presentations are not graded strictly. A great class to take with a limited amount of work required. I'd recommend this class for its educational value and its great professor.

WORST professor I have ever had at Chapman. He ignores your questions when you ask for help, his grading criteria isn't clear, he does not give you feedback, your whole grade is out of 100 pts (exams: 20, proj: 30, hw: 1pt each, participation: 10), and he makes you buy his unfinished txtbk w grammer mistakes. Our project paper was close to 30 pgs.
