Reviews of professor Fu-Lin Tsung

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course consists of 5 tests for your grade, quizzes count as 1 test. The professor is too smart to understand where the students understanding stops. Lots of tricky questions throughout the course. If you can pick another professor you should.

Very knowledgeable about the subject, but a terrible explainer of the concepts. Homework was optional, but without doing it you will not pass the exams. Quizzes were mainly conceptual, trick questions. Exams were math heavy problems that consisted of problems like we had never seen. Pay close attention in lectures.

Really friendly outside of class. Don't expect to just attend lecture and not do homework or study outside class. The only grading was based on quizzes which were multiple choice and there were 3 exams. He's very willing to chat and his exam questions are sometimes word for word textbook questions.

Your class grade will be 3 exams and weekly quizzes. He will not grade anything himself. He will come up with lectures and tests last minute. He teaches better one-on-one, so ask questions and meet with him as often as you can. Grading will be harsh and unfair. He will make excuses, deflect responsibility, and blame students at every opportunity.

Dr. Tsung is a super caring professor and just a kind person in general. He made a habit of never saying the word "simple" because he doesn't want to patronize students. He does his best to break it down into digestible pieces. Three tests make up the majority of the grade, but I felt the grading of the tests was completely fair.

Had him for Fluid Mechanics during the summer. Quizzes every 2-3 weeks, they're multiple choice and can be kind of tricky if you over think it. You definitely have to understand what is going on and ask questions if you're confused to get a good grade. 3 main tests and you'll want to study a fair bit for them.
