Unlike many other mathematics instructors, Xiaoqin tries to help you understand the mathematical concepts on an intuitive level before delving deep into the nitty gritty details. His grading scheme is tough but fair for a 600 level class. He is truly one of a kind!",

You need to do the hw &amp; go to discussion to understand but even though I thought I had a good understanding of the material the exams were very difficult. If you have never taken calc before, this will probably be really hard..",

He prepared me for math 632 very well. He follows the textbook closely, which is really nice because you can use it to help clarify everything that is discussed in class.",
