Comment:
She is a really nice person (like grandma energy). Her timed tests are a bit difficult and make me hesitant to take her again for Calc 3. However, she is good at explaining topics and the homework is a lot like the tests. She does grade the homework a bit harshly, but not too bad. All in all, great person, meh professor.

Comment:
You can get negative grades on assignments. Reason for not curving grades was "I don't curve grades because I want to go to heaven". Not great at explaining things when you ask questions. Will cut you off when you repeat a question because she thinks she knows what you're asking, she does not. Does not care about you and will tell you.

Comment:
She recorded all of the lectures so you can skip class/rewatch them. She does a lot of examples during lectures but make sure to do the practice problems from the book or you might struggle a bit on hw/tests eventually. She grades pretty strictly but every calc professor does. As a teacher she can seem mean but as a person she is very sweet

Homework every week. Had to take and finish the exam in 50 minutes with at least 10 questions that required a decent amount of work with each. Has an accent so it is hard to understand and will talk your ear off on stuff you didn't even ask about.

Comment:
Her lectures can be hard to follow, and exam questions often that pop up that aren't explained in the lectures. She's an unnecessarily harsh grader, and she struggles with using technology for online teaching. She definitely cares about her students, although it's easy to forget that between the confusing lectures and overly harsh grading.

Comment:
Worst teacher I have ever had math wise. Grades WAY to harshly and marks off a unusual amount of points for very minor things on homework and exams. Cares far more about work than the answer to a problem. If you don't do things exactly how she says, you will fail.

Comment:
During my first semester at college, I knew it would be difficult being in the middle of the pandemic. But she did not care, no matter what. She was very rude, & offered no office hours . She is very quick to blame anyone but herself in any inconvenience. She is an awfully hard grader, once giving me a zero for not putting my homework on one sheet.

Comment:
I had her during the whole pandemic switch, which I give her credit for. However, she was extremely difficult on us. Super hard grader, took off points for forgetting a parenthesis that wasn't needed. She gave us an extra final at the end of the semester so we had to do two. Super hard and kind of rude.

Comment:
Goes through material fast and skips a lot of important material. Doesn't explain important concepts for the class and expects you know them. Won't teach you something and expects that you know it for a quiz. Has said in class that she doesn't care that we understand the material, as long as we can memorize long theorems. Criticized work ethic.

She does give you lots of homework/questions that you can practice before the test, but sometimes that only left me more confused. It is definitely possible to get a good grade on the tests and homework, you need to do things her way for her to give you max credit, and a simple mistake in the beginning will only give you little points for your work

Comment:
Dr. Chang's Calculus 3 course is hard but fair. The majority of your grade in the class comes down to whether you do well on the exams. Don't expect any curves but you will get plenty of partial credit. That said, if you're not at least partially proficient at math I would recommend finding another professor who moves at a slower pace.

As far as calculus professors go, Prof. Chang is far above average. She outlines everything just fine. You are going to have to do a lot of work outside class because there are not many quizzes or assignments.

My favorite calculus professor over the years. She is a picky grader but her lectures are very well structured and if you pay attention and attend class you will learn the material the right way. At the end of the semester it is easy to study with printed sections given each lecture, and she gives extra credit if the entire class is struggling.

Comment:
Chang is funny and her accent is easy to get use to. She really cares about her students but won't be afraid to fail a student. Se gives out note handouts for each lecture which saves a lot of time of taking notes and goes over a lot of examples in class. She is picky about notation but is a fair grader.
