Jinlong has improved alot since the first lecture. Early on it was tough. He took feedback and improved the lectures throughout. Overall, he is a nice guy. I wish there was more office hours and exams were returned but, that's okay. The group project is straight forward. Its a good course to learn the BASICS of fluid mechanics.Rate My Professors ↗

Original student reviews · all captured dates
he assigned a project with the grade weight of a midterm, no rubric, very little instruction. He then just seemingly assigned random grades for it all between like 86-92. it even involved a 2 page report with LITERALLY NO DETAILS. I dont really care if he wants to leave things vague but to do that and then grade the way he did was so annoying.Rate My Professors ↗
Terrible lecturer. He reads directly off of his slides and doesn't do any examples, and when he does they are unclear and hard to comprehend. I had to teach myself everything in this course. BUT, it's also insanely easy. The exams are a joke, and there's a group project that is a free 100. Final is not cumulative. Worth taking for the easy A.Rate My Professors ↗
Derivation based teaching while reading off slides with very little actually applicable examples. Spends half of class reviewing the last lectures material then runs over by 5 mins every time. Does not give any study materials, tells you to redo lecture and homework problems.Rate My Professors ↗
reads off of lecture slides and hardly ever actually applies any concepts in a problem to solve. has no idea how to set up a canvas page for his course. does not record lectures and his notes are unhelpful.Rate My Professors ↗
