Reviews of professor Jie Tao

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Does not give clear instructions on what he wants then when you do what you thought he wanted you still are graded poorly. Very confusing about what it is he is looking for in assignments. Contradictory.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great one in person, not a great instructor. Class material is not hard at all, but it is seriously hard to understand his accent, intonation and pronunciation. Better focus on the material provided, not his verbal elaboration. Instructor's speaking needs to be improved over years.

Reading the textbook will help a lot because he skims over topics in class. Doesn't clearly answer questions and may even ignore them. Make sure to study hard for tests because they're very long.

Terrible instructor. Unreasonable amounts of work and lack of clarity in instructions

Professor Tao is easygoing and has a good spirit of teaching. Yes, he has an accent, but people exaggerate. I have one myself and can understand him very clearly. He elaborates on topics and tries his best to support you to get a good, easy grade while learning the highlights of his lectures. Pay attention and you WILL pass. I defo recommend him!
