Reviews of professor Shaosai Huang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Huang is definitely not a good lecturer. He just reads the books but still has many mistakes in the lecture. I recommend reading the textbook instead of listening to his class. And also, Huang seldom look at the Piazza and didn't give the level of A in the beginning.

If you want a class where the textbook teaches you, take this professor. You can either have him read the textbook to you in his lectures, which are so disorganized you won't understand them, or you can just read the textbook yourself which I recommend because the textbook doesn't need to go back and erase mistakes every ten seconds.

Professor Huang is a very intelligent man, but just not a good professor. When it comes to explaining math the lectures were very confusing and left me more confused than I was when I came in.

Lectures are copied from the textbook and way too proof heavy. The first midterm was coordinated and communicated exceptionally poor and the prof became confrontational with students on Piazza. Shaosai also refused to explain grading until after the final, so I could be getting an A or F and won't know until after the final is graded.

Overall, this class was easy because I had taken it in high school, however the lectures were not helpful and very confusing. This then went into quizzes and exams only being given on Friday nights from 6-8 pm which was extremely frustrating. If you are looking for credits, do not take this class. It is more difficult than needed.

Seems like a nice guy but his lectures are kinda scattered. The notes are kinda messy. But fortunately there's no homework and the midterms and quizzed are from the worksheets and the book so take advantage of that.

He recently sent this email to us "Der all, todays lecture for MAT 320- will be uploaded later today. Best, Shaoasi". The improper capitalization and incomplete sentences, along with spelling errors (including spelling his own name wrong) show how little he cares about this class. "Later today" ended up meaning over 12 hours later than normal.

Nice instructor, really cares about students. He is accesible outside of class and very patient. I still remember I was really confused about a type of problem and he spent a lot of time to make it clear. He also holds review sessions before exams. Finals are fairly easy comparing to midterms! (He runs his class overtime sometimes lol)

His recorded lectures are all hand-written, hard to read, and basically copy the textbook, so I stopped watching his recordings after midterm 1. I see classmates really care about their learning and give a lot of suggestions/ ask a lot of questions on Piazza but he hardly ever reply. Overall, I don't want to be mean, but he does not teach me a lot
