Reviews of professor Chengzhi Shi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were very difficult to follow and took lots of concentration. The tests are weighted very heavily (each question on the two midterms is 10% of your overall grade). Tests weren't too bad but the final exam was much harder (75% avg. for final vs 95% avg. for the midterms)

I'm late on this review since I took him in the Fall 2022 term, but he is great. His exams are straight forward and he mixes in relevant real world examples in his lectures.

DO NOT take this professor. He is the meanest professor I've ever had, and he made me cry several times. I went in after an exam to get help with a question and he was strongly toned and mocked me for coming to him with my concern. If you don't title your emails to him correctly, don't expect respect. Textbook is better at teaching.
