CollegeThe best professor I've ever had. The course material was really interesting and inspirational. The grading policy is also very good. Want to take this course again.
Slides are not posted anywhere so you have to attend lectures.
AsAm8 with Professor Cho was my favorite class I've taken yet. Definitley attend lecture because the slides aren't posted online but lecture is never boring. Quizzes are easy as long as you do the readings. Study guides are given for midterm and final but study beyond that as well. Would def take the class again!
Professor Cho is a really good lecturer! The readings are usually short and if you just skim them you'll know enough to write the discussion posts. If you want to do good on the weekly quizzes definitely go to lecture. The content is also interesting and he tries his best to make it relevant to students.
This class was really fun, informative, and easy. Section is mandatory but participation isn't. There is 1 midterm and a final that were multiple choice and short answers. Very doable if you go to class and skim the readings.
Cho's lectures were amazing! Slides super informative and he always gave examples via videos and photos. Goes into depth on concepts and weekly quizzes are easy as long as you took notes during lecture and skimmed the readings. The end of the class was moved online, but he made lecture recordings and any media shown very accessible.
