Has anybody had Geoffrey Tien as a teacher? What is he like?

    I remember when he was a TA for Dixon. Hes willing to help any student, however there was times I personally found him to be arrogant and that he felt it was beneath him to teach students in introductory classes. 

    It's funny that now he teaches them as the sole instructor. Should be fine, but expect it to be tough though. Could be that I caught him on bad days, or maybe hes better as the instructor.
  • Tien out of Tien
  • Just kidding I've never had him before
  • Oh boy, I'm screwed...
  • I'm in 250 with him as a TA for Dixon right now. He's a great TA. Knows his stuff, always does a good job at helping when you have questions. Extra office hours whenever an assignment is due. I haven't found him to be arrogant this semester so maybe he's changed since kc2k8 had him. Not sure how he would be as an instructor but I would imagine he'd be fine.

    You give me hope, let's hope he's as good as you say he is!
