Reviews of professor Songgang Qui

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Songgang is my main man. He gives lectures on par with those of other professors, but really cares about student success. His test reviews are extremely helpful and tests are very reasonable. He makes himself very available outside of class for questions. All in all, a solid choice for statics.

Homeworks would be short, but would take extremely long amounts of time. Dr. Qui is obviously brilliant and would often mention how 'easy' concepts were (to him), but would be hard to understand. I wouldn't say demeaning, but would definitely make students feel stupid for not understanding concepts. But, he definitely cared about students' success.

Songgang does his best lecturing and truly does want to help out his students. He can become distracted during lectures and sometimes spent too much time on one example or not enough time on another. All this said I recommend him. If he knows who you are and you put forth the effort, he will see that you succeed.

Dr. Qiu says that attendance in his class is non-mandatory, then proceeds to give a quiz everyday. He provides some good review prior to his regular exams, but is not very helpful with final review. Also refuses to release answers for exams after they have been completed.

Really nice guy. If you put in the work and always come to class, you will pass. He sincerely wants everyone to pass. As long as you show him effort, he will help you out.

Makes exams difficult, many students don't finish. This especially happened with the online switch, and when most can't finish exams (which are 80% of your grade) you fail.

Dr. Qui truly wants his students to do well in his class. It is challenging to understand him at times, but the lecture slides that he teaches from are very thorough. Exams make up 80% of your grade in this class, but as long as you do the homework you will be prepared. There is a lot of homework but I strongly recommend doing it.

Confusing lectures, distracted easily. Does very few example probs, (they'll all be on the exam). HW's are tough, good for studying, but have pointless, outdated essays. Qui wasn't a good fit for the way I learn. If you like lecture heavy classes, you should be fine. Knowing his expectations now, I could do better in his class next semester.

Easily worst professor I've had, very arrogant and self-righteous. Spends a lot of class time w/ speeches on how students need to work harder. He's just extremely demeaning. Attendance isn't taken, but iclicker quizzes make it necessary, also it's very hard to understand his online lecture notes so go to class. He does "care" but only kinda.
