Weird grading style. The homework is almost impossible. No one gets over a C. He curves a little.

Dr. Cai is so adorable! There couldn't be a better teacher for this math education class; he's so enthusiastic about both math and teaching. The class is a significant amount of work for being worth only one credit, but it's all really easy and at times kind of fun.

Professor Cai is a fantastic guy and a very enthusiastic teacher. His accent makes him difficult to understand at times, but he is very thorough in his teaching. If you have taken Calculus in High School, you will do well & not have to study too hard. He is a very good teacher and even gave me his phone number when I wanted to talk about my grade.

this professor is a very very nice man. he tries really hard to make everyone understand what he is talking about but his accent is so thick, the language barrier is a little difficult to overcome. he is very nice....DEFINITELY GO TO OFFICE HOURS. he is much better with one on one help than he is at teaching a lecture

Probably one of the hardest classes I have taken so far. He is an extremely hard grader, but he genuinely cares about his students. He is an amazing person, and is very approachable. So adorable.. brought us breakfast for our 8am final!

Comment:
Coming out of high school already taken AP Calc AB I thought this class would be a breeze and an easy A. I was quite wrong. The average for the first test was a 60% and he did not bother to curve it. The only reason I got a B+ in this class was because of the great T.A. who spoon fed us answers to the quizzes. Avoid!

Dr Cai really cares for his students, and you will notice that within the first few days of class. His lectures are pretty helpful, so its a good idea not too miss class. He grades only tests and quizes. His tests are pretty tough, but they are fair. Overall, a pretty tough class, Would not recommend to anyone who is not good at math!!

He's an AWESOME professor. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and goes out of his way to help them understand the material. He's VERY energetic! He does make mistakes in his examples from time to time. But just attend your discussion sections regularly, do well on the quizzes and exams, and you'll be fine! You'll love this man.

There is no mandatory Homework in his class, Your grade is bases solely on your performance on tests and quizzes. His class is extremely easy especially if you took AP calculus in High school. You definitely need to do well on exams to get an A but other than that, he is always available to reschedule office hours and they help a lot.

I found this class to be extremely frustrating. The problems weren't terriably hard but it seemed very difficult to get an A based on how he did the grading. A ton of work for just a 1 credit class.
