Comment:
So far, he is the worst prof I have ever had. If he was to teach any course I take for the rest of my time here at Waterloo, I will drop the course. You have been warned, stay away from any course he teaches, he is so lazy it astounds me that he ever made it to where he is today.

Comment:
I cannot say that Liping actually taught me anything during this semester. For the entire term, we were taught using lecture slides as opposed to the "required" course notes. The slides were unorganized and less comprehensive that the course notes as well. Liping also STOPPED TEACHING US after one month! Our TA taught the rest of the course.

Comment:
Class was well structured. The professor used a student-led lecture format for many of the lectures. Under this format, students prepared and gave a presentation on the topics we were required to cover. The professor then lectured on any missed material for each presentation. Good practice for graduate students interested in teaching.

Comment:
Absolutely horrible. He has no idea what he's doing, he doesn't teach you anything, he doesn't help outside his office hours. NEVER replies to emails. NEVER. EVER. He is definitely the worst prof I ever had and the most unprofessional one. I had to teach myself the whole course. I highly advice everyone to AVOID any class with him.

Great course notes, good lecturer. His grad section of the course does all the marking so be sure to question all your marks since it's very inconsistent. I did

Comment:
Considering the number of times he says "ok" during a class, this rating should just be a series of "ok"s. Despite being a really nice guy, Liping Fu's teaching is anything but ok. His lectures powerpoints and assignments were impossible to follow. The textbook was not used. He might be great for research, but UW should give us profs who can teach.

Comment:
He is a nice guy but hard to understand his accent. I have to teach the course myself by searching online or go on MIT/Yale online classes videos. He is willing to help his students but will not answer the questions completely. His assignments are very hard, give yourself plenty of time to do them because you will regret. His pwpt are useless.

His course notes were really helpful and he's very willing to provide extra help outside of class. His english skills are sometimes lacking, but he really makes an effort to explain things.

Very nice person, but no motivation when he teaches. Hard to understand and/or follow. Appears to teach the course flipping from section to setion randomly with no clear teaching method.

They don't call him a Fu for nothing....He's pretty slow on the uptake and doesn't have much knowledge in any one area...
