About this rating

Raw average: 2.67/5 from 3 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

He wants his students to succeed and directly told our class if we show up and do the homework, we should get an A

Professor Lu's lecture is just okay. He just take screnn shots from papers and put them in his powerpoint. This leads to lots of inconsistent notations. He doesn't care if the students understand, and just keeps moving forward with the lecture. Unlike other professors, Qiongshi is not patient to his students. Overall I don't see him enjoy teaching.
