Reviews of professor Lei Qiao

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Qiao knows the material inside and out and uses PowerPoint for lectures. Individual and group exams make grading fair. Very little home work make this class a nice break from harder classes. Beware English isn't his first language and has a thick Chinese accent making it hard to understand him sometimes. Good entry level science class though.

He is compassionate once you talk to him one on one. To be honest, he is very smart, but his English pronunciation isnt wonderful. I found myself having to really focus during class to understand him, and even then it was tough. There are pre-class quizzes each day, but they arent bad. He drops some tests and assignments so thats nice!

Prof. Qiao was a kind professor, however understanding him was a real difficulty. Attendance was not mandatory and he just lectures and has you do a worksheet in class. You can work with others in the classroom, if you don't, you're screwed. No point in studying for the tests because most of the material does not come from lectures.

Professor Qiao knows his material and is passionate about meteorology, however, I could barely understand a word of his lectures because of his thick accent. Tests are easy to pass if you study all the quizzes. I didn't use the textbook at all in this class. He gives a syllabus at the beginning of the year so there aren't any pop quizzes or tests.

Dr Qiao is a caring man who wants the best for his students. His accent is super thick and hard to understand at times, but after the first week you should be able to understand him. His class is easy if you take the lab, but otherwise the textbook will help. Mostly quizzes and tests. Very willing to help you out, just be patient with his accent.
