Reviews of professor Hung-Chang Liao

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor's grading heavily relies on exams, which can be challenging to pass even with diligent completion of all assignments. Additionally, he is quite inflexible and lack empathy, making the course difficult to navigate. I would advise against choosing this professor and this course.

Good professor, very clear teaching, midterms and exams are the same difficulty as the past midterm practice he provides. Gives you everything you need to do well.

Professor Liao has a formula for teaching math that is incredibly effective. The theory only takes up a little bit of time and then after that, he just shows you different questions and how to answer them. I recommend doing the practice midterms, but you could actually just study the lecture notes and get by, that's how strong his lectures are.

Professor Liao was funny, kind, and driven to help us learn complex material. I found the tests to be somewhat reflective of in-class material and somewhat difficult/challenging. What saved my grade was how he transfers any weight of any evaluation that has a mark lower than your final exam, to your final exam. Very understanding and accommodating.

Although I transferred out of uOttawa after my first year, Professor Liao was a highlight of that year. I really appreciated how many resources he would give us to succeed. He provided so many practice midterms and practice finals, so by the time it came to do the actual exam, I was never shocked by the test content. Best professor at uOttawa.

Even though the course was very difficult, professor was very helpful. If you want to take this class and you do not understand the material, I recommend taking advantage of the professor's office hours. Also, the test was difficult and takes a lot of time to complete.

Great professor, great lectures and is always open to answer questions on or offline. He explains the content very well, and gives relatively tough but fair examinations. Wholeheartedly recommend for math courses.

His lectures were good as he would go over every style of question you might see on an exam, but usually he would do a very basic example. Practice midterms/final were much easier than the actual thing and didn't prepare you too well.

Overall really enjoyed how he taught and his lecture style was very informative. However the practice midterms and exams were way easier than the actual tests. The lecture material provided a really great explanation on the basic way to do things but not the more complicated problems that were on the midterms and exam.
