Reviews of professor Pengbo Liu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I regret taking this course... Prof. Liu was one of the worst professors I've ever had. His course was lecture-heavy and the lectures were very boring. He cold calls students too. It's also hard to understand his accent, and the questions on exams and quizzes are sometimes grammatically incorrect. Don't take this guy, you'll regret it.

This professor was one of the worst professors I have ever had at Bentley. He loves to cold call, and especially to kids he knows don't know what's going on. This class will make you extremely frustrated since there are absolutely no guidelines on how to do anything in the class and he thinks everyone magically knows how to do everything he asks.

Professor Liu is knowledgeable. Lectures every class. Exams are open notes and online, relatively easy if taking notes each class. Accent is not unintelligible. Homework is a page response on a reading each week, not too difficult if you skim the reading and target your response to the questions asked. Some extra credit available. 2 group projects.

No clear grading criteria yet an extremely tough grader, boring, has some passive aggressive beef with his students. Just no.

The class was easy, you have to dedicate a little bit of time to readings and reading reflections but he grades nicely. Classes were boring, I enjoyed the class at the beginning but he would lecture about the reading for so long and add nothing to it, hated coming to class by the end. We had a final group presentation, group paper, and exam.
