Reviews of professor Zixiang Xiong

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst class I've taken in my entire college career. Professor regularly broke academic policy and was 40 minutes late to his own final. Lectures were next to useless, covering topics that were covered in homework the week before. The homework assignments were long and tedious. Avoid at all costs.

Dont even know what to say honestly. Xiong is a super cool guy. Let me just say this. The exams were online, remote, on zoom, OPEN NOTE, and unprotected. Who is chill enough to do that anymore? Take this dude he is a legend.

Dr. Xiong is not a bad professor. He is very knowledgeable in DSP and encourages participation. He gives SO MUCH hw, but it is not bad and exams will basically have a question exactly like the hw or straight from the book. He grades exams leniently and exams are open notes. His accent may be a bit hard to understand but he's nice and reasonable

This professor assigned an unreasonable amount of homework and even disabled his course evaluations. The tests looked nothing like the lecture and homework. He rarely attended lecture, and is clearly upset that he has to teach this class.

Dr. Xiong evidently cares about helping students learn and perform well. He's very receptive to questions and is very helpful. Also, he organizes the class well - all lecture notes are posted at the beginning of the course, HWs are directly correlated to the lectures, and the exams are straightforward and directly correlated to class examples.
