Just Amazing!

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The exams are much harder than they need to be. All written exams with a few confusing T/F, so it was easy to perform poorly on them. I left multiple questions blank because they were that hard and confusing. The lectures are okay but taught straight from the powerpoint so sometimes it felt pointless to go to class. He is a decently nice guy.

Do not take this professor. I could not understand half the things he said all semester from his accent. He assumes everyone understands the content in lecture as he zooms through all the work on the board himself. I practically taught myself half of the course online while I struggled to do the homework. Take another professor

He was difficult to understand because he had a heavy Chinese accent. He was also vey confusing during lectures and was only helpful during office hours.

Transitioning from online teaching to virtual teaching actually made the content much easier to understand. During face-to-face instruction, it was often difficult to follow Professor Liu's train of thought as he would start going off tangents trying to make examples for students. I found this to be more confusing than helpful.

Pretty easy class, I took it pass/fail but got the same grades as a friend who got an A-. He won't tell you the grading rubric because he'll curve it up at the end about 2 letter grades (a B to an A-)
