    "comment": "Chenxi should not teach undergrads, but don't be too scared of his low rating. He goes way too deep into the theory, given what is on the homework on exams, but he cares a lot about his students and asks for a lot of feedback. His lectures are confusing, but he can come up with examples on the spot if you ask him, which helps clarify things. ",

    "comment": "I don't know what the other reviews are talking about, I've never had a professor ask for as much feedback as Chenxi. He also had a very lenient grading system and he is very sharp and can easily answer any question or come up with an example if you have a question. He is great at communicating and grades everything himself very quickly.",
