Reviews of professor Howard Chiang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are boring. Slides and assigned readings are not match with the paper assignment. Grading criteria are so vague. Have no idea what he kind of paper he wants to see. Just avoid him.

I took Professor Chiang for both H191E/F. He is intelligent, candid, and even subtly funny at times. Make sure to speak once or twice during discussions as it is 15% of your grade and he'll give you full credit as long as you attempt to talk. Lenient essay grading, and also reach out to him during OH as he is accessible and a very nice person.

Chiang speaks about the topics extremely well. If you go to lecture, he says a ton of helpful things that are not on his slides. Some lectures weren't exciting but overall they're interesting. I said two things in class & he gave me full participation. Make sure to use the readings in your essays, he drops your lowest essay grade, not a hard class

There are no lectures, but a discussion of the readings that you should do. He is more of a facilitator than a professor.
