Office hours always open
But all you have yo do is attend class to get a passing grade
Cons: A lot of homework
Quizzes are hard/weekly
A lot of programming
Tons of material
He understood that his class was hard, he tried to tell jokes that's just was not funny and relate topics to everyday things.
Grade received:B+
Cons: the curve probably won't help most people since they have less then 30%...jk but that's what it feels like so far (8 week in his class) He doesn't teach well, doesn't care if you fall behind, makes fun of you for falling behind and not understand the basics that he never taught, expects you to be proficient in c++ arrays even though you probably only learned about it from 2-3 lectures in ece 114... only way to get a good grade is to suck up to him imo... (not writing this review formally because I'm busy trying to understand this code cheng gave us...still doesn't make any sense)
I think it would be wise to find another teacher, unless you are a transfer student with at least half a years' worth of programming class(s), a.k.a at least 1 semester or 2 quarters.
Cons: Scares the crap out of every student, you have no idea what you're doing or what your grade is until grades are posted.
He gives quizzes every week on Friday that supposedly tests you on what you're supposed to have learned that week which mostly everyone fails. Then he has a final that is ridiculously long in terms of amount of computation. There's no midterm.
Honestly, while he's fun I would not recommend this professor. He doesn't take his job seriously and doesn't seem to care whether the students are really following along in his lectures.
Cons: He is FAST! It takes 6 months for material to sink into your brain.
One of the best professors I ever had. He's essentially my mentor.
Cons: None
Things you learn from him in this class carries through to your 400s.
The things he teach, are sometimes new like MicroBlaze and such and are very challenging. This is good because you have to be up-to-date with technology and be competitive if you want to find a decent job.
Secondly, Cheng remembers many of his students, so he is always willing to help students on any particular topic.
Do not be offended if he picks on you and you don't know the answer. Many people have the same problem. Take him, and you won't be sorry. Grade Received: A-
