Chow Bing Ngeow professor reviews and ratings: 2.7/5 from 7 student reviews at Northeastern. TRACE + RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
Should have been an easy freshman course, but his stubborn attitude and heavy heavy accent got in the way. He writes everything he says which is helpful because you won't understand him, which begs the question, "Why even say it in the first place?" Very monotonous, and there was no TA to boost grade or help with the teachings.POLS1155 2010-03-31 16:40:21 +0000 UTC
Easy A, for the most part. He can be difficult to understand but he writes everything on the board. The TA is more crucial in determining your grades than anyone so make sure to go to the recitation and take part in those discussions. Class is made up of two exams, a term paper and recitation attendance/participation.POL155 2009-09-09 17:44:26 +0000 UTC
Probably a great guy but not a college level professor. Hard to understand what he's saying, read his handwriting, and follow his notes. If you know someone who has had the class he uses almost identical midterms/finals and doesn't change them between semesters. I was able to learn more from reading the book than listening to his lectures.POLU155 2009-03-15 14:38:12 +0000 UTC
Professor Ngeow was a a very nice professor but his monotonous and sometimes hard to understand accent may deter people from the class. Its a fairly easy class, just go to class, take notes (he writes everything he says) and you should be fine. The only issue would be the TA, definitely go to the recitations, if you don't, your whole grade will bePOL155 2009-04-03 02:24:47 +0000 UTC
He gives you the opportunity to get a good grade in this class. As long as you go to the class and take notes you should do well on the tests. Midterm, final and 5 recitation quizzes. Multiple choice, short answer and essay tests. Presents the material well, easy to understand, unbiased.POLU155 2009-01-11 17:00:49 +0000 UTC
Boring subject matter but is very clear with his teaching method even though he has a thick asian accent.POLU155 2008-12-09 17:41:29 +0000 UTC
Good lecturer, boring at times but knows his stuff. Very smart. Also, he isn't biased...just gives you the facts.POLU155 2006-11-30 17:47:41 +0000 UTC
