Prof Lin is so nice. He teaches very clear in class, and his handwritings are so great! Really enjoy his class.

Honestly the best math professor I've had at BU so far. His lectures are clear and if you have questions on the material, he is always open to going into more detail in office hours. The majority of the grade depends on exams, but as long as you practice the problems given in lecture and do the homework, you should be able to pass. Would take again

Great professor. Lectures were very interesting, he was inspirational, and exams were not difficult. He cares for his students

He's a great person but not a great professor. His accent made it incredibly hard for me to understand -- and I am from a Chinese household. Always read the textbook to clarify his lecture content. Do the all problems, even the ones that won't be graded to get an A. His tests are easy but if you don't do the problems it'll be hard. Lenient grader.

Prof. Lin was one of the best math professors I've had at BU. With the very few interactions I've had with him, he seems very sweet and caring. The exams are fair if you do the homework and pay attention to the example problems. The final was somewhat challenging and long for the 2 hrs so do more practice problems if you have time to do so!

Really nice Professor
He will upload the class notes for each class and the exam is similar to the homework

I've had Professor Lin for both 225. He's a great professor and always asks students if they have questions during lectures. He also posts his lecture notes online which is really helpful when reviewing.

terrible professor. He only gave 1 hour for the whole exam which is not enough for everyone. Also, he didn't provide any stuff for the review of exam.

Your grade is largely determined by 3 exams which come from homework and lecture problems. Provided study sheets are helpful to some degree but do not rely on them to study for a midterm. His class is made up of too many proofs and not enough examples which may cause some degree of confusion. He is very friendly as a person and clearly cares.

He does give exams whose questions come from hw or lecture notes seems to be an easy class to take. But he doesn't explan concepts very well, gave too many examples, and it takes me a lot of time after class to figure out. The only TA doesn't know how to solve the hw problems and discussion is useless. Depend on yourself for studying.

Prof. Lin is one of the best math professors. His tests are fair as long as you go to lectures and do the homework. He's very nice and really just wants us to like math. I also love that he prepares a little story before every lecture <3
