Reviews of professor Steven Chang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
very condescending. takes everything personally and will pick fights with you if you're not on his good side. Does not give clear instruction. You can tell teaching is not his passion. Test heavy in lecture. Minimal effort in lab is needed because he doesn't really have you do much.

Easy class to pass, but you have to deal with harsh criticism that really isn't warranted. No matter how well you do, there's always something he will argue you on. So I would not recommend, unless you can deal with a higher level of criticism compared to many other professors.

Prof Chang is a very difficult instructor. This class is a lot more of self teaching. Definitely get the book bc his tests are mostly based off the reading. He lectures straight off the slides, and no study guides are provided, so make sure to review and keep up with the reading. His teaching style isn't for everyone, very textbook heavy

Ended up with a C in his class after the curve. He curved a majority of our exams and replaced one exam with the final. I managed to pass the class. He does immensely get involved with his student's lives. You either fuse with his humor or you don't. He does care and will help if you seek for it. Subject in general is hard. You will need to read.

Dr. Chang is AWESOME. Hes super smart and knows what hes talking about. His sense of humor is the best. Hes always available to help if you need it, in class or via email. Not an easy class but show up, read the textbook, know everything on the outline and youll do fine. Its all memorization.

Would have to say that I learned a lot from Dr. Chang. He is a very smart individual, and so he will expect a lot from you. It is required to read prior and to independently study. Slides will not be enough. Hard class, but prepares you well. He will curve. There is no study guide. If you are up for a challenge take him. His jokes may not be funny.

Awful. I am an A student and this professor completely shattered my confidence. Everything is self learning. He doesn't do anything other than vaguely go over slides, which barely help for exams. Act like he is so benevolent when he's really not. Makes it more harder than it has to be. Never regretted taking a class as much as this one.

The entire class is just a vague mess. He gives no real sense of direction to students. The lab is the worst you are entirely on your own and when u ask him a question most of the times he does not give you any real relevant answer instead be ready to receive mean sarcastic comments on whatever u do. He is a cool dude outside class but that's it.

Very tough course but he is fair. Be prepared to do lots of reading! Also, participation and attendance are very important.
