Reviews of professor Qiang Zeng

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you are not good at giving presentations avoid him like the plague. The test will be fairly easy. Some curveball questions that are not covered, but the majority are. The biggest part is the presentation, if you do not perform well you will be publicly shamed in front of the class. He will not give any constructive criticism.

Class is all based off exams. Gives no partial credit in exams. No matter how much work you show or try. Don't take him! I studied and did all the homework and practice the reviews but still his test are crazy hard!!

This course was my last math class. He is the best professor I've met in QC. He is very smart and he knows how to teach. Some other guys said the class is kind of tough who never study after class. If you do homework, you won't get such a low grade in the exam. The questions are very similar to the assignment he gave. Take him and study hard.

The first half of the semester you do not need to attend class as all the lectures are posted online. The midterm is open note and very easy. The second half is based on paper presentations. All you need to do in order to get an A is read your paper thoroughly. You are allowed to use the author's slides. If you are unprepared you will fail.

As someone who really enjoys security this class was great. There are two projects worth 20%, a midterm worth 40% and paper presentation worth 40%. He stressed how important it is to read the paper and prepare for your presentation and it shows. He will ask details about your paper in order to make sure you read it carefully. Overall great class!

He teaches all the proof in the class, it's hard to follow him in class. The proof did help me to understand all the distribution tough. The class itself is easy, do some homework and understand all the distribution, you don't even have to come to class. The exam is also easy, similar to previous exam he posted on the blackboard and his homework.

This class is suppose to be equivalent to 241. 2 Midterms, w. 25% each & final w. 50% one midterm grade can replace the other, hw is optional, can be use for extra points, test are really hard! 6 questions, in 70 mins, he made last question difficult and worth 30 pts, no in class reviews, uses previous test from semester, would not recommended!!

Dr. Zeng made the class interesting and useful, despite the content itself not being the most riveting. He went over concepts thoroughly and kept students engaged through practicing. The projects were extremely tough, but otherwise, I enjoyed the class and Dr. Zeng's teaching.

Always give hints and get quick feedback of homework and projects. I like the paper presentation parts. When I got difficulties with the presentation preparation, he is always willing to answer to the questions and discuss with me.
