Reviews of professor Shuenn Siang Ng

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Put 20 hours a week into this class. Studied in advanced. Took advantage of every resource. Still failed first two exams. Exams are 13-14 MC questions in an hour. Knew material but simply never had enough time to answer all the questions. New online format. No study guides. No curve. No mercy. Naturally a slow thinker? Don't take this class.

Gosh, the worst prof I've ever had. Not bc he doesn't know what he's talking about, but because he treats his students so poorly. Unhelpful, and told our whole lecture "if you failed midterm 1, you need to pull yourself together and work harder." Tests are unreasonably difficult, and he is insulting. Do yourself a favor and choose a different prof.

Terrible professor. Besides the fact that I found his lectures very unclear and unrelated to the testing material, he was incredibly insensitive and acted like he could not care less about his students. Even after I emailed him multiple times he refused to give me feedback on how to do better. Do not take this professor!

Siang explains concepts in a way that was easy to visualize which is greatly appreciated in multi-variable calculus. He is tough on grades but is flexible if you go and talk to him at OH. While difficult, he did a great job of getting through all the material in a reasonable time.

Dr. Siang is an incredible lecturer, and really understands the material he is teaching. The course was incredibly organized and well paced. We learned everything in time, but it never felt rushed. He can seem a little harsh, but if you go to office hours, he is actually incredibly nice and great at explaining!

Siang's lectures were the best math lectures I have ever experienced. He presents the material amazingly, and he was easier to understand than a professor I previously had. With that said, he can be dismissive & arrogant when dealing with students, so I just avoided asking him questions. He takes 1/2 of questions points for intermediate steps.

I definitely liked him the first half of the semester. I was hovering between an A and B. He was an excellent lecturer, but as we transitioned to distance learning, things starting going downhill. His apathy toward students really showed. I had to withdraw because I could not meet the demand given my situation.

I've never met a professor so apathetic to their students' success. He's a good lecturer, but he makes all the exams ridiculously hard in comparison to the homework, textbook, and quiz material. He's very rude when you express concern (literally called the class stupid). His reviews are decent, bc hes a decentish teacher, but I hate his rudeness
