Reviews of professor Daniel Chen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took him during the Winter of 2023 as a student just starting to get into the CS world. I did a review but got taken down. He did not help with anything. He picks on students and starts arguments when needed help. He is out of it, done, and doesn't have the spirit to teach. He is not clear on what he wants. Expects students to know what he wants.

I'm making a review because the latest 5 star reviews he has gotten must be fake. Daniel Chen is THE worst professor I have had during my 2 years at Mt Sac. The professor will argue with you instead of explain concepts. For example on a test our class had, he gave a vague question caused maybe people to lose points even when students asked for help

Among the top CS professor in Mtsac.

He is a great professor, he knows how to teach students, and he won't leave any student behind. That means he will take time to explain to you or help you up. Most people drop their class because Chen will say something scary to them. For me, it was little scary, but at least he clarifies everything.

Does anyone know if the seven five-point ratings below are from Professor Chen's own registered account? I hope Professor Chen can teach well in the new semester to change his reputation.

Amazing professor, should take him for your first CS class.

Although i don't think he's the worst professor here, he is possibly one of the worst. One of the worst homework submission system which makes students lose track which task goes to which submission. Genuinely awful pacing with 4 exams,12 homeworks crammed in last minute. Class would be fine if you have prior CS knowledge, however.

Prof Chen is the best STEM professor I have ever had. He is caring, kind, and is personally invested in the success of his students. It is impossible to get less than a A in any of his classes. Low workload (you are graded on a few things, though), and he will always accommodate students. Take him, you won't regret it!

Don't take his class, you will regret it! Otherwise you will experience the most painful moment of your life.

Do not take this class. It's very poorly graded, with no clarity. Getting things wrong is severely punished, and the professor does not care about your code, only the output. His instructions are also super convoluted and he contradicts himself a LOT. Spare yourself the trouble and just don't.
