Reviews of professor Nan Chen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Since the beginning of the course and I was totally lost, the lextures are useless and the slides make no sense. The class also relies heavily on the written component of the exam. overall not a great experience, even though it is calc 2 and I like calculus.

Nan Chen gave very clear lectures with both simple and complex examples to explain concepts. His review lectures are extremely helpful! He cared students very much and was also accessible outside class. I never went to his office hour because I had another lecture at the same time. But I sent him emails for questions and he replied with details.

Great professor, very caring and shows passion in what he is teaching. Hoping to have a class taught by him in the future!

Class material is easy and his lectures are helpful, he gives a review after each unit that is extremely helpful. The one thing I did not like was how he graded his exams, he gives little to no partial credit which doesn't make sense in a calculus based class.

I love him! He can always make hard concepts easy to understand. Load is not heavy and you can enjoy the lectures!

Nan Chen is the best professor of math 234. His homework problems (as well as some questions on midterms/final) come from the textbook exercise . His homework only counts accomplishment, not correction. Grading is easy and average GPA is 3.2 (about 100A/280 including high school students) Get up early for his 7:45 class definitely worthwhile

One of the best Math professors I have ever got in UW-Madison. He explains things in details and gives good examples to help you understand them easily. An important thing is to do the homework and try to carefully apply what you have learnt in the lecture to it. Exams are easy but with a few concept multiple choice questions in the beginning.

Take the best professor's class if having the chance, or you will regret.

He uses good examples to explain things clearly. and the exams are easy. If you do your homework carefully, you should be just fine.
