Comment:

Worst professor I imagine I will ever take. I have not learned a SINGLE thing this semester so if you are actually interested in learning, do not take this class. I am not prepared whatsoever for the final exam, but if you just do all of the Hawkes homework you will have an A. Easy A class, but horrendous professor. It seems like a joke it's so bad

Dr. Dai honestly means well. He does have an accent and it was hard for me to understand. However he has a very forgiving grading policy; homework is 40% of your grade and theres unlimited attempts(its on we work). His tests were basically homework questions with different numbers. I never payed attention in class but I have an A so hes okay.

I wish I could give this professor 0 stars. Worst professor Ive ever had by far. Can barely speak English. Makes multiple mistakes in the problems he does for class examples. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If youre bad at math dont take this class. Dai cares about his students and wants us to pass. He reset all the overdue homeworks to Dec. 1 so that students could finish their missed homeworks and get full credit, however, he has a thick accent and is difficult to understand. The random attendance quizzes actually boost your grade.

He has a strong accent but you get used to it fast! He is super adorable and gives really good references and examples. He knows very thoroughly what he teaches and is very helpful with concerns and questions. The homework is closely aligned with the class but there is a good amount of it. :)

He seems like a nice guy but honestly he is hard to understand and the tests he changes the syllabus, making the class very unpredictable. It is a few weeks before the final and instead of the 4 tests promised, we have had 1. He lectures but doesnt actually teach what you need to know. He jsut goes through proofs then lets you struggle on HW.

He has a strong accent that is difficult to understand. There are random quizzes at the end of some classes. Attendance is done by signing name on a piece of paper. The homework is all online but it has little relevance to what is discussed in class. Teaching method is purely example based

Almost impossible to understand. 10 pop quizzes at the end of random classes, online work, 3 tests, and a final make up your grade. You won't learn anything in class you have to teach it to yourself from the online textbook. Tests and final are easy and multiple choice.

This professor is a super intelligent man. He has a little bit of an accent but after a few days, you get use to it and will understand him completely. I makes it clear on what is on the exams. He helps you with your questions and doesn't make you feel stupid about asking them. You definitely have to do the hw and study yourself to make an A!

It takes a week or so to get used to his accent but other than that, he was generally easy to understand. He didnt make concepts more complicated than necessary and was very thorough with new or more difficult material. Honestly, if you come to class, pay attention, take notes and do the homework, youll be fine.

Hard to understand at first but he genuinely cares about his students and will stay after to help you. Unfortunately he's not a great teacher and often confuses students. The homework's are online and require you to do math he has not yet taught, but it can all be done with mathway. There are 3 exams and most people easily cheat to get A's

The course was easily overall, but Dai's teaching methods were not beneficial in any way as he taught the same examples provided to us online; the online examples went more in depth to explaining each problem. The tests were very easy and I was able to maintain an A test avg. Attendance quizzes are taken and total up to a test grade.

Most test questions are unrelated to the homework assignments, leaving you very confused. His poor English makes it difficult to understand what's being discussed and the lectures have little to do with the homework. Just use the textbook and self teach.

I might as well have taken the class online. This professor is a really sweet guy, but going to his lectures was a complete waist of my time. I had to teach myself everything that I was supposed to understand in class.

Comment:

If I was good at math, I probably would have done better. His accent wasn't even the biggest problem. The main issue is he is so good at math, he has a hard time understanding that many of the students aren't. Additionally he challenges us too much. His work and HIS tests are much harder than the common final. Should have failed but ended with a C.

Extremely intelligent person but not a gifted instructor. He struggles to convey the material properly and fails to give his students an in depth grasp of the material. If it wasn't for the online portion of the class I would not have learned anything. homework will save your average and teach you everything. I recommend taking another professor

A few complained about Prof. Xingde Dai that were in my class but those were the students who barely comes to class and made fun of his accent. Come to class to take notes and/or just listen and you will do fine. He cares about his students. He gladly stays after to explain problems to you if you do not understand. Easy webwork homework.
