Reviews of professor Jun Chen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Honestly not a bad professor just teaches a hard course. After converting to online, the MC portions of the test offer no partial credit and you are not giving nearly enough time to complete. Other than that pretty fair class, make sure to get 100s on the HW and show up to the zoom class to take the pop quizzes.

A nice guy who seems to care about you learning the material. Will answer your questions in class and go through the explanations and code.
The only hard part were the tests which don't ask tougher questions, but ask a different type of question which you can't really study for/know unless your well versed in matlab. Is willing to curve if needed.

As a third year A E student, so far Chen and Fogel are the only professors I like in my own department. Enough said. I would have added Tedesco to my list if I had him instead of Katz for fluids.

His lectures are filled with conceptual textbook lessons, but has examples that really help understand them. There is weekly paper homework, 3 midterms, and a final which are curved. Take the notes, understand the homework, ask for help and you will be fine. He is open for office hours and is eager to help you understand. Study in groups!!

Chen is overall a good professor, but the course material is very dense. Attendance to lectures was not mandatory and lectures were recorded. Regardless of what class you have with him, expect more than 80% of your grade to come from the midterms and final. During lecture he usually gives hints as to what will be on the exam.

Dr. Chen is easily one of the best AE professors at SDSU. He's pretty chill and you can tell he really cares about his students and wants you to understand the material and be successful. Exams were definitely tough and required you to know more about the logic behind coding in Matlab than the language itself. Make sure to attend lectures.
