PSTAT135 . Oh Sang-Yun 5 Months Ago

Sang is a considerate professor, and taught the course content in a useful, albeit monotonous fashion. A lot of new content to cover than most PSTAT courses, with weekly quizzes in lecture (open note!) and pointless sections, and while assignments were certainly doable some programs chosen were quite difficult to work with (especially the project).

PSTAT135 . Oh Sang-Yun 5 Months Ago

Lectures were very slow and dry. Content seemed disorganized and jumped around topics week by week. Quiz every Thursday in person at the end of class. And there was a final group project, but it was just really tedious because of the online system we had to use. Overall very disappointing for a class I thought would be really interesting.

Very bad and boring lectures. Do not take this professor if you actually want to learn anything.

the way the class is weighted it is easy to get a good grade without doing that much however class was so boring i did not learn anything in class and I was confused all quarter long. I came away from this class feeling like I learned absolutely nothing.

Oh has a unique talent for ignoring student feelings and never bothers with such trivial matters as seeing things from their perspective. Truly, a 'remarkable' choice for anyone seeking an 'unforgettable' learning experience. Highly 'recommended' for those who appreciate the finer nuances of educational indifference.
