I was looking forward to Korman's lectures, which were engaging and informative. That said, his grading criteria is archaic, grading students on their English, thus (not necessarily intentionally) penalizing them for being ESL students. He also gives far more benefit of doubt to the TA over the student, leaving grading disputes unresolved.

This is the kind of professor that wants to see you do well as long as you do it by their standards. Any deviation from it, despite the quality of your work, will result in a poor grade. You can attend every lecture and section, take meticulous notes, but creativity of any sort is frowned upon. Answer the questions like he wants you to answer them.

Dan is the best! His lectures were interesting and engaging. I had never studied the topics covered in this course but he explained every concept clearly and answers questions thoughtfully. Such a kind and understanding professor.

Definitely one of the best professors I have taken thus far. Super interesting lecturer and answered every question in depth. Tries his best to help students understand complex topics. 3 papers and no final, pretty complex but you could actually ask him during lecture about potential paper topics and he would give you feedback/help format them!

He cares a lot about teaching and students learning the material. Tests are exactly based off the lectures. Papers instructions were kind of unclear but the grading wasnt too strict for me. Material is interesting and makes you think critically. The biggest thing you are graded on is knowing the material and how it relates to the chapter.

amazing lectures. Grading is highly correlated with which TA you get.
