Reviews of professor Gang Liu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Liu is a pretty good choice for 2010, but the class is v hard no matter who you take it with. The class moves very fast and his lectures have a lot of example problems that he explains well. He has always responded to emails quickly and was pretty accessible outside of class. Make sure you do recommended readings before class-they help a lot.

I heard so much about how this is the hardest class I will ever take and how most people fail it the first time. I do not know why. I thought Liu was a great professor and the exams were fair. Evidently most people disagree. My class size was cut in half by the time the final came around, and even then I know multiple people still failed. Who knows

To do well in this class you have to put in work and actually show up to class. Dr. Liu is really good at working with you if you put in effort and go to office hours.

Online he was not good. He's hard to understand and very harsh when answering questions. I would not take Liu for 2010 if at all possible. Also his rating is high because he some how got eleven 4 and 5 ratings from November 8th 2020 - November 13th 2020. Seems suspicious to me.

Dr. Liu was a very good professor but is stuck teaching an incredibly difficult course. He makes people pay attention with his general demeanor and is very knowledgeable on the course topics. However, asking questions could be a bad decision because he tends to roast people who ask obvious questions.

Lectures go at a rapid pace, since there is so much to learn. That might turn people off at first, but if you go to office hours, he is one of the most helpful professors. He will work the problems with you, really wants you to understand the material. ME2010 is a tough course, but Dr. Liu will help you as much as he can if you take the first step.

Professor Liu can be a little difficult to understand at first and the class will be difficult. However, he does explain the material well. There will be homework for every class; however, (for 2040) this should not be too bad as it is typically only 4 problems and reinforces your understanding of the concepts rather than just being busy work.

Dr. Liu is the best Statics and Dynamics professor at Clemson. It took me three tries to pass this class with three different professors, and Dr. Liu was by far the best. I ended up taking ME 2040 with him the next semester because he was so great. Only difficulty I had with him was understanding his accent, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

Dr. Liu is one of the best professors in the department. His lectures and notes were great, exams were thorough but reasonable. He is also very accommodating. I had a severe back injury and couldn't attend for most of the semester and he was great working with me during my recovery. And I still earned an A!
