Professor Chen is a great person. He was available outside of lecture and was ready to help. Labs were mostly like extended lectures, especially towards the end. Material didn't seem difficult until the exams, which were very difficult. Professor Chen was very open to feedback though. Do the homeworks thoroughly and you'll be good.
