120B . Oh Sang-Yun 7 Years Ago

Terrible lectures and section don't bother attending he really does not know how to teach. Ridiculously hard midterm and final. My advice switch professors or take it a different quarter just avoid him.

120B . Oh Sang-Yun 7 Years Ago

I came back to write a review after taking 120B again this quarter with a different professor and honestly this material is easy Oh made it unnecessarily hard. He is bottom line a horrible professor: lectures are confusing, homework is graded way too toughly, midterms were extremely difficult for no reason. You'll regret it if you take 120B with Oh

120B . Oh Sang-Yun 7 Years Ago

Very poor professor, really failed to make concepts clear or explain the subject well. Homework was graded way too toughly instead of checking for completeness and effort. The midterm average was far below failing and yet there was no curve. Final was unfair as well. Bottom line don't take this professor. Got an A in 120 just to fail this class.

120B . Oh Sang-Yun 7 Years Ago

VERY HARD professor. I got an A in 120A and I had no idea what he was talking about half the time. His midterm had a class average of far below failing, unreasonably hard tests, difficult to follow during lecture. Very nice guy though, he is definitely just new and trying

His lectures are often boring but he does go through a lot of examples. The homeworks are really hard but are also much more difficult than the exams. He's a young guy so will probably (hopefully) get better.
