Comment:

He has 1 year old youtube videos he posts on Canvas where he briefly goes over the section. His videos are so useless he even mentions in one of his videos about getting single digit clicks with two sections of 30 students. Awful professor he was the only choice I had would avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Professor Shi is basically retired. He uses the same lecture videos since the beginning of online classes. The homework doesn't help much, the tests are completely different than what is assigned. He throws you a bone every now and then in the tests by giving a problem similar to the lecture examples. A lot of self studying and would not take again

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had at De Anza. He's the sole reason why I wasn't able to get my associates degree in time to transfer. If you have a choice, DONT TAKE HIM. I didn't listen to the other people here because I thought it would be fine, but its not. The only way you'd be able to pass is if you only had 1-2 other classes and no job.

Comment:

It's absurd how Kejian Shi is still employed. He doesn't teach, only shares recordings of his own lectures which barely covers the material, aside from his very thick accent. You may be able to get an A from him, but he curves so dramatically that don't be surprised 60% is an A. In general, lots of hw that he never marks, awful lectures and more.

Comment:

I had to take this professor as a last resort - worst decision EVER. No office hours, no feedback on tests, you can't see your grades on Canvas, he emails tests late but expects them back on time. Lectures barely relate to tests (if you take him, be prepared to self-study). He's very sweet but the class is too unstructured and disorganized >.<

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! He offers NO office hours, his lectures and handwriting are incredibly hard to read and understand and the class is graded purely upon quizzes and midterms. There is no homework for grading. All of our exams had F averages and the professor blamed us for them. Taking his class was the worst mistake I've made.

He might have been okay in person, but he is horrible online. Tests don't match homework or lectures, which are prerecorded and straight out of the book. He puts minimal effort in and expects 2 hours per weekday of effort in return, don't take him

This class online is one of the worst things you could do to yourself during corona time. His grading is super harsh and his tests, especially the final, are 20x harder than the homework. His lectures are all prerecorded from June 2020 and contain some information, such as test time, that is outdated. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT A GOOD GRADE

don't waste your time with this class in an online format. Maybe in person is better, but the online class format is the worst of any class I have taken and it isn't even a little bit close.

Please avoid taking him at all costs. Not only does he can't teach, but gives you some of the hardest problems on the quizzes and exams which is nothing you've ever done on the assigned homework problems or seen in his pre-recorded lectures. He also grades them in his own way. This is where you'll lose most of your points and score really low.

Shi might be the worst teacher that have ever taken in college so far. His exam are super hard for no reason, His lectures does not teach anything . But it might be helpful to watch the since he puts some questions from the lectures in the exams sometimes. If you can avoid taking his class, i would advice you to do so.

Professor makes mistakes during lectures, has some struggle catching himself and makes it harder to understand the material. Quiz and exams are different from hw and his lectures so be prepared to question why you chose this professor. its nearly impossible to finish all the questions he puts on the tests. not a great calc professor to choose.

Wow. Never have I had such a bad professor. I have always been an A student with 16 plus units. Horrible old lectures from previous classes - very lazy. Unable to reach him. Just says read the textbook. Homework way harder than any problem he covers in his lecture. I wish I listened to the reviews and stayed away from him. Please do not take him.

Regret taking this professor as he doesn't teach the class well enough with his pre-recorded lectures which is him reading off from the textbook. Doing the problems and watching the videos won't help much as you're better off teaching yourself. His exams are difficult, so please form a study group and seek all the help you need to get a good grade.

He's a really tough grader. If you miss a step in your work, you lose points. Grades are not based on the correct answer (typically given a point), but if you got to the same step as the professor. Literally average test and quiz scores were DD+.

His lectures are basically reading from the textbook with even worse explanation. You are better off reading the textbook and self-study. He made up all the questions for the quiz/exam so doing the homework is pointless. None of them are related to the homework. Grades are not posted. Avoid taking him at all cost no matter how desperate you are.

Comment:

The most terrible thing is: there's totally 500 points in this course, but they are all from the test! And he doesn't give any examples to practice. He gives lots of homework, however, you won't get any points from them. Most of his quizzes are from his lecture example, so watch them and do the homework!
