MATH 222
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
My favorite professor. Couldn't understand a word he said but as long as you followed along on the chalkboard you could multitask with Netflix. Be prepared for a 5 min drawn out joke at the beginning at the lecture.

I was worried because of rate my professor .com 2.0 rating but I took his course. All his exams are straight from homeworks. Memorising entire homework problems already guarantees A from three major exams. It is true that lectures are puzzling, but discussion sections help a lot. Very flexible exam policy is impressive. He was more than i expected.

Prof Jin's English can be incredibly difficult to understand at times, but his point is usually understandable.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Sent him an email one time asking something specific that there was confusion about throughout my whole section. Got a short, rude email back. He cracks jokes during lecture that make calculus 2 slightly more bearable but he expects students to have an extremely solid basis of calculus making the class hard if you scraped through Calc 221.
