The first floor was right, only that Horst taught these subjects, and he was a teacher at the college, not the University of Michigan. He studied physics, but his math was not necessarily worse than that of a math professor, and I had never heard of him teaching chemistry. The academic level is very high, but the content of the lecture is too difficult, and most of the students who choose his class are living in dire straits.
Let's talk about the overall quality of teachers. The current professors at JI are made up of three parts. 1. Some teachers of Jiao Tong University help the college to teach when the faculty recruitment is incomplete.
There is a huge gap in the level of these teachers, including masters such as Liu Xila, vice president of shipbuilding, Ma Dianguang of the Electric Power Institute, and some teachers who do not understand the lectures. Perhaps because teaching at JI requires a high level of English, SJTU should not only consider the level of teaching when sending teachers.
The second is JI's own professors. These teachers are recruited by the University of Michigan's recruitment team from all over the world according to the standards of the University of Michigan, and the level of the classes I have attended is good.
The third is professors at the University of Michigan and professors from other first-class universities in the United States, mainly at the University of Michigan. They mainly teach in the summer semester and the level is very good. Whether the teacher lectures well or not depends on the attendance of the students.
Generally, the teachers of the University of Michigan basically come to the classes, and the teachers of the college come to 80% of the classes, and the number of teachers at the University of Michigan is very different, some classes are basically all the classes, and some classes are only 50%.
Overall, I personally feel that the professors at JI are still good. In order to improve the teaching level of the college, the evaluation of professors is to pay equal attention to teaching and scientific research, unlike other schools in China that only look at scientific research; Moreover, professors also have relatively high incomes, and they do not need to use research funding as their main income**.

There are good and bad teachers.
In general, the teachers who come from the University of Michigan in the summer semester are very good.
Some of the Chinese teachers are very good, but some of them are poor.
There are also some foreign teachers, who are not from UM, and they are also good and bad.
In general, the teachers are still very strong, but because the institute has just been established for 3 years, there are still not enough teachers.
The teacher you mentioned who teaches everything in physics, chemistry and mathematics is called Horst, who is a good person and really strong, but it is more difficult to teach.
You can see the specific teachers.

1l Pretty much that's it, I'll explain the so-called "teach everything" phenomenon. I don't know about other majors, I'm in medical school, and I don't have high requirements for high mathematics, and the person who teaches high mathematics is a famous physics professor. Do you think it's not good for people to teach physics to mathematics?
Besides, the high math level of freshman learning is not very difficult, and the physics teacher can deal with it enough. However, the Faculty of Science is definitely a professional mathematics professor who teaches mathematics, and it seems that the sophomore and above are all majors.

Not originally to teach physics. At present, there are two mathematics teachers in the college, one is a doctor of mathematical physics and the other is a doctor of physics. For engineering colleges, it is not a disadvantage that physics teachers teach mathematics in the first place, but an advantage.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Joint Institute is not bad.
Founded in Shanghai in 2006 by two top universities, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Michigan, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute aims to build a world-class teaching and research institution in China and cultivate a new generation of international, innovative and leading talents by exploring the great potential of China-US educational cooperation.
In the past ten years, the college has won the honors of "Shanghai Chinese-Foreign Demonstration Institution", the first prize of the National Teaching Award, and has been praised as a "model of higher education" in China by the National Education System Reform Leading Group, and has won the "Heskeel International Education Innovation Award", which symbolizes the highest honor of international education.
The School not only lays a solid foundation for engineering education for students, but also cultivates and enhances students' soft skills such as creativity, teamwork, communication, leadership, problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
At the same time, we are committed to providing students with a variety of international exchange and learning opportunities in cooperation with world-renowned universities, helping students prepare for the challenges they may face in their future careers, and enabling them to become world-class industry leaders in their respective fields.
