Reviews of professor Jun Chen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Was always confused in this class by what he was teaching. He always said it was easy material and expected us to be experts by it. He did examples that really helped me get through the class. Tests were similar to the homework and practice exams but always expect a random question. I relied on other sources to understand this material.

Chen is a pretty good teacher. He does practice problems in class which are pretty helpful. Homework isn't too hard, but give it a few days. Exams weren't too bad, both online and take home. Symbolab is your friend! Overall, he's a good professor who is pretty helpful and the class isn't too hard

The class is 2 exams, homework and a final. There are some extra credit quizzes that makeup approximately 5% of the overall grade. The exams are straightforward if you've done the homework and done additional practice problems from the book. I'd say I dedicated around 2 hours a week to this class. Very doable and the professor explains the concepts

Great lecturer. Simplifies complex topics. Homework is straight forward due every 2 weeks or so.

Chen was an ok professor. His lectures were a bit boring and his first practice test was nothing like the actual midterm. When I tooke the class, Coronavirus hit the school making online classes mandatory. Online class was easier but the normal in person way would have been way more difficult. Random pop quizze and weekly homework

Took AE 280 with a different professor before and I can tell you Chen is the best option you have for this class. He really cares about what he is teaching and will try to answer all the questions you have.

Professor Chen is a decent professor. The class is made up of Zybooks HW, coding HW, two midterms, and a final exam. His teaching is alright, he pretty much reads off of the lecture slides during class. His exams are very difficult, the exam averages are usually in the 50's. Make sure to study the lecture slides, HW, and the textbook for his exams.

Professor Chen is great and patient.

He's a nice guy and he has energy when he teaches. But he uses powerpoint style notes, so the subject material moves way too fast to understand during lecture. He expects students to extrapolate how to solve questions based on loose and barely touched on information from the notes. You don't really need the book. Does pop quizzes for extra credit.

He is a quiet professor and his lectures are extremely confusing. But going to lectures and taking notes AND THEN going to his office hours really helped me understand the material more. He gives 3 exams and a final that take up most of your grade, weekly homework makes up the rest.
