Reviews of professor Faan Tone Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took COMP 1672 with Faan Tone as well. She was amazing once again! Highly recommend taking her all the way through the Intro COMP sequence. This class was a big challenge, but she is always available to help you. She cares about your success and your future.

Best professor I've had so far. She really makes sure we understand all of the topics and has a lot of small labs, projects, and quizzes so you don't have to stress too much for the exams. The exams were very fair and not too hard.

Faan Tone is so invested in every student's success. She spends an unfathomable amount of time outside of normal class hours working with students on homeworks and projects and creating easy tutorial videos for every concept. She is definitely my favorite professor at DU so far.

Faan Tone is the goat. she allows retakes on every single quiz and she usually works with you to make sure you get them right. She doesn't allow late credit to go down past 70% so you always have an incentive to turn something in even if it takes you the whole quarter to do it.

Easily one of my favorite professors. Faan Tone is super helpful especially during class and office hours. I would still say attendance is mandatory unless you have previous coding experience, in which case its probably not mandatory.

She is an amazing professor. She works really hard to cater to everyone's needs including making time outside of class to help, giving many examples, and being really encouraging. She makes a great friendly learning environment and loves to give advice for career and education paths. I took her for the whole comp sequence online and loved her.

Take Faan Tone's class if you get a chance. She is flexible and understanding, yet dedicates herself to each student mastering the content. She makes the difficult content doable. Very available outside class and wants to hear suggestions/issues to help students grasp the content strongly. Do expect group work (doing labs with other students).

Get on her good side by participating in class. Ask for help and you shall receive it, but do NOT seem like you aren't paying attention with your questions. Very caring and helpful if you show that you actually want to learn. Some unclear grading schemes and rubrics.

didnt learn well

She is a really sweet teacher that means well but spends most of the class time on unrelated topics instead of covering projects and weekly quizzes. Project criteria in particular are quite vague with little to no direction, and practice questions for quizzes have no key to correct your errors.

Best professor ever. Faan Tone is incredibly kind and caring, and she lectures in a way that makes the material very easy to understand.
