09/20/20111412 - Calculus I3.53425YesA little difficult to understand. He will stay after class and help explain any issues you may have. Nice guy.
08/14/20111413 - Calculus II4.04525YesDr. Chen is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend him. He is very helpful and clear and is a good choice for a difficult course like calc II.
01/19/20111412 - Calculus I3.83525YesIf you keep up with the homeworks you will do fine. Take advantage of office hours, he will be very helpful.
11/29/20101412 - Calculus I4.55535YesGreat professor
01/28/20101412 - Calculus I4.04435YesHe's a clear teacher, but doesn't always understand students' questions. The tests are based on the homeworks, so try to do all of them. A Ti-89 calculator will help for calculus I and II, but learn how to use whatever calculator you have.
12/31/20091412 - Calculus I4.24535YesGood Class. He writes awsome notes; write them down and pay attention. Make sure you do the homeworks as propmtly as po,ssible, they're not graded but his tests come straight form them,he likes to ask questions from both the begining and end of homeworks. Prepare well for his final though he makes it much harder than his tests and its not based off the homeworks.
05/09/20081413 - Calculus II4.04435YesGood teacher, communicates the information very well, though doesn't answer questions so well, mainly due to the language barrier. Ask for old exams.
05/06/20081521 - Advanced Calculus II4.24535Yeshard class, but hes the one to take it with
04/01/20081413 - Calculus II4.24535YesGreat professor, very nice guy. Helpful.
03/23/20081413 - Calculus II4.25525Yeshe is the best professor in yeshiva university. but the class is a little hard.
12/29/20072601 - Differential Equations3.83525YesGood course. Dr. Chen's doctoral thesis is on Partial Differential Equations, so he knows the stuff quite well. You will have to keep track with the homeworks; otherwise, you will need to study a lot before the tests.
12/29/20071413 - Calculus II3.84524YesGood Course. Good professor. Not an easy A. Best math teacher in YU.
12/29/20071412 - Calculus I4.04534YesBest math teacher in YU. He is extremely nice, and you can go to his office and ask him questions about the material.
05/29/20071413 - Calculus II3.53425YesHard class but Chen's the best person in the school to take it with. His tests are modeled after the homework except for the final which is more difficult. Do the work, make sure you understand the answers and you'll do fine. He tends to be good with partial credit.

05/27/20072601 - Differential Equations4.03445YesChen loves Diff Eq, and soon you will too. Do the homework, don't cram it all the night before, work out the past tests, and you'll learn the material. Tests are from the HW; some the first problems and some the last problems. There are many old tests going around, they'll help you learn the material and see what Chen's style is. For some people it's hard to understand him in the lecture or conversations due to his Chinese accent, but it doesn't affect the course really -- the book is pretty clear and the material *very* straightforward. The point of the course is to look at types of equations and go thru methods to solve them. There is an electronic solutions manual floating around, try to get it. Chen's also one of - if not the - nicest professor I've ever met. Fair grader, do your work and you'll get that A. Viva la Wenxiong!
03/05/20071413 - Calculus II4.55535Yeshe is the best
10/12/20062601 - Differential Equations3.82454YesI would recomend this course to any motivated math students. This class can be an easy A if you want to get an A. However, it is often difficult to understand what Chen is saying with his strong Chinese accent. And even better, he often doesnt undnerstand what the students are saying. But he is a fair testgiver/grader, so all you need to do is stay ontop of the homework, read the textbook, and do well on tests. Also, ask him for past tests is you wish, he is very nice with giving old tests.
