She doesn't post notes and make exams which are impossible to complete in the given time. All she does is write in class nothing makes any sense. Would definitely avoid for any future courses. If you get her for odes i wish you the best of luck :)Rate My Professors ↗
first impression was woah is she even a prof, and then she just embraces the classroom with her passion of ODEs;.. start of the semester but so far shes pretty decentRate My Professors ↗
Worst professor I have ever had up to my junior year in UW-Madison. I doubt Lin's professionalism. She got impatient when I asked her to explain something again because I did not understand her explanation the first time. It was so awkward and uncomfortable to go to her office hours.Rate My Professors ↗
Very enthusiastic about differential equations. Makes lecture easier to pay attention too. But she talks and writes pretty fast so it's easy to get lost. Her test problems and grading are fair, but there is a heavy time crunch. Overall, a challenging class, but satisfyingRate My Professors ↗
