Reviews of professor Li Gao

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were boring but they were clear. I read the textbook chapters if I was confused and had no problems. Homework will take longer than you think, do each section after the relevant lecture rather than on the day they are all due. Just a heads-up, I needed Cengage for the textbook, HW was on WebAssign, and assessments were on GradeScope

His lectures are dull, but his online notes are pretty good (though I'd recommend previewing through youtube first). He has weekly homework worth very little that is moderate in difficulty. The tests however are extremely similar to his test reviews. I never attended lectures, read his notes, and did the test reviews for an easy A. Solid choice.

Professor Gao is a great prof for Calc 3. He is a very nice person and very willing to help you out. Unlike most math profs, he is great at drawing, which really helped me as a visual learner. The homework problems are generally harder than the test problems and he gives practice tests. Overall a solid prof.
