Reviews of professor Hao-Wei Chu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a little awkward sometimes but he's a pretty solid professor. Sometimes the class gets a little overwhelming, but it helps me prepare for the exams so I think it's worth it.

He is a really sweet guy, but it is really hard to understand what he is saying. There is no attendance, so you end up not going to class because you don't learn anything there.

Math 230 is a difficult course no matter the instructor. It is evident that he tries very hard, but his English is not yet where it needs to be. I hate to criticize him because he is a very nice guy and means well. I understand it must be hard for him not being a native English speaker. He responds to emails quickly and genuinely want to help.

Math classes are all organized by the math department. So content and level of difficulty are the same for all classes. Chu is bad at teaching. You can't understand what he's saying. confusing sentences with a strong accent. He's like talking to himself every single class. If you're planning to take his class, make sure you can self-taught.

Don't take his class! He is the worst guy in the math department. So many typos or mistakes in the lecture notes, hard to understand. Also, he gives a large number of homework questions and extremely hard and weird quizzes each week. And he doesn't adjust the difficulty at all. He will make you fail this course and give up math.
