Reviews of professor Fanghua Lin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is really caring person. But his lecture is so hard to follow and it's unavoidable to read textbook all the time.

Prof Lin is a world-class expert in PDE & Analysis. His lectures are fast-paced and technical, but he is a really nice person. HWs and exams are difficult, but you have to suffer from these in order to learn math, and he curves well. The person rating him down is probably spoiled who only wants A's instead of learning something genuinely.

Definitely the best professor at NYU. Really nice and cares for students. Respond emails promptly and would even write long paras to explain concepts in emails. Lectures are fast paced but amazing.

He is really amazing. He knows everything and he is very merciful to us since the course itself is already very hard, so every time he gives us a lot of time to finish the homework. And he really curved a lot because he wanted us all to get a good grade. Good choice.

The midterm average was in the 30s (out of 100) and he said that wasn't that bad. It was expected that you would do very poorly on the exams and that they would be heavily curved, meaning I passed but feel like I learned nothing and it was extremely difficult. He's a nice guy but was not a good teacher.

HE IS AN ACTUAL MATHEMATICIAN. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. The course was hard by itself. HE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH, AND THE GRADING was flexible.
