Reviews of professor Jian Cheng

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For a new professor, he knows what he's doing. I didn't exactly excel but that's on me and not him. He's clear and will glady go over something if you do not understand it. The material is a bit difficult especially when graphing calculations aren't allowed but I'm almost positive that's a school wide rule for statistics. Make sure you study!

Really nice professor. explain everything in details. No need for textbooks, but be prepared for lots of homework.

Dr. Cheng is a good professor that teaches hard material. You will have to work for a good grade but it is possible. There were quizzes every week. Exams were not tricky, it was the same material learned in class. He is a really nice guy who wants everyone to pass. As long as you put in effort you will be fine!

For Dr. Cheng's first semester at Slip he did amazing. He understood that he spoke broken English and he did everything in his power to bridge that gap by using multiple tools for lectures. I never had stats before college and I received a grade I was happy with. He liked to sneak in math puns and it really lifts your mood to see him smile.

This grade might not be super fair because the math department's grading system is departmentalized, meaning everyone in MATH114 gets the same grade criteria pretty much. But he bored me to tears. I think he liked listening to himself talk. He's a sweet guy, and he's willing to help. He's one of the better professors at UD (That's not saying much).

Cheng was a very good professor for his first year at Slippery Rock. I have taken a stats class in high school, so this course (STAT152) wasn't terribly difficult, but be prepared not to use a graphing calculator. It's actually not too bad. He goes over things several dif. ways (statlab/lecture/powerpoint) so it's truly on you. He is flexible.
