smart guy sure. HORRIBLE TEACHER! notes are ok yes, but writes so fast (every class) and has very bad English, you WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THIS GUY! Very hard marker, forget about asking him about your answers on tests because he refuses to listen and does not even want to answer your simple questions. You will not learn from ths man.

Comment:
I had this guy when he first came to Lakehead because of his very poor English and having difficulty with the pronunciation of numerator and denominator, he will use upstairs and downstairs to explain. He will make it easy for you during the semester and hammers you in the final mark. He gives marks based on names. I always wonder how this guy mana

Comment:
Dr. Miao's class notes are very helpful. The examples he does in class are very similar to the questions in the assignments, midterm and final exam. I would recommend getting the textbook for any of his classes to further understand any concepts covered. Also, the course curriculum is 100% based on the textbook.

Comment:
Ridiculous to understand. His assignments are extremely long and tedious. You''re better off learning by yourself because you won''t ever be able to understand him. Wish they''d get rid of him or get another prof to teach it.

Comment:
Dr Miao is very hard to understand at first, but once you get to know how he speaks it gets a lot easier (took about 4 classes for me). I had him for 2 courses, one where he wrote on a chalkboard and one using a projection camera. The camera was much easier to read and keep up with. His tests do not try to fool you, so just know the material.

Comment:
Can't speak english, always thinks you're begging for marks when you want to find out how to do a question on an exam, and he is so disorganized and erases things off the board before you can write it down. Half the time he mumbles and the other half he speaks a different language. you may catch a few words here or there.

Comment:
Miao makes differential equations fun. His positive energy and enthusiasm is extremely refreshing. Make sure you take ALL the notes! They are essential to getting a good grade. "OK let's DO iiiit!" is my favorite catch phrase. "A is number" lol another good one.

He is a very nice guy if you get to know him. Very helpful if you arn't lazy and go and ask him questions. Can be difficult to understand and frustrating at times. All in all, a pretty good prof.

I've had 5 classes with him. He struggles with English, but his examples are clear. Exams are straight forward. The only way you are surprised on the final is if you didn't do the assignments.

First he tries to pretend you're his pal and that everything will be fine... then he screws you on the exam. He gives previous exams as examples, then bases a large portion of the final on material you've barely ever seen.

Don't bother going to class - he couldn't speak English to save his life. Also, way to strict. No fun at all. Awful professor.
