Reviews of professor Shuyang Ling

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He presents theories and materials as incoherent chunks of disjoint points. It would better serve him and the students if Prof Ling actually explains how different parts are related and what are their applications.

Despite all the materials covered in lectures, I struggle to actually learn anything by the end of semester. He should set a more realistic expectation for the course and especially his homework. Definition: information overload.

Professor Ling is the most incomprehensible and unclear professor I've ever met. He has a terrible accent and gives poor feedback. His office hours are not for clarifying the material. Instead, his office hours are for finding out how to solve the problems on the homework assignments (many we didn't learn in class). Avoid him like the plague!!

I never really took a formal math class before, so prob+stats was HARD. Lectures were pretty overwhelming, but going to office hours every week and approaching the HW problems together really helped to stay on top of things. Prof never got tired of answering our questions and was incredibly empathetic. Learned a TON and will try to keep improving.
