Reviews of professor Xuanmao Mao Chen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Honors. Professor Chen is a fantastic professor. He wants to make sure you know the material; hell give partial credit on exams whenever possible. The only assignment is a presentation in the last third of the semester, so its not a lot of work. Just beware, he does have a heavy Chinese accent, which may not be suitable for everyone.

Mao is awesome! Genuinely cares about his students, and is always available during office hours. Does great reviews before exams, and as long as you show up for class and study you'll be fine.

Easily one of the kindest professors out there- will do everything in his power to make sure that you succeed.  Mao is an easy grader but his accent can be tough to understand because he talks so fast.

Mao is a great professor! He genuinely cares about your success in his class and will actively help you if you are struggling. His exams are fair and you will be well prepared if you go to class and pay attention. Highly recommend!!!

Mao is one of the most passionate professors I've had. He taught my Honors Bio course and his main goal was for his students to learn and enjoy the topics. He wasn't interested in giving difficult exams and is great about partial credit. The tests aren't difficult if you do exactly what he says to prepare.

I had Prof. Mao for Biology: Molecular and Cellular, and although I dislike learning about the micro stuff, he was able to make the class fun enough that I didn't dread going. Mao is available during office hours and eager to help students, as well as very kind and an easy grader. Recommended, but be prepared to interpret his accent during lecture.

I loved Professor Chen for BIOL411H. He was passionate about all of the material and welcomed discussion in class. Be prepared to take notes beforehand, though, because he speaks quickly, and you want to make sure you get all the info he adds during lecture. Great guy and class.
