PSTAT134 . Oh Sang-Yun 6 Months Ago

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.

Prof.Oh is approachable and organized. Grade is determined by 2 exams (25% and 35%), and 40% hw. One downside is his complicated lectures; the material is not the most difficult if you read the textbook but Prof.Oh's lectures make them seem more complex. The exams were conceptual and much easier than the lectures. The class uses R language.

I had Oh for 134 - he's been a good prof. Very accessible through Nectir if you need help on HW. I will say his HWs are VERY long and were extremely difficult as I'm pretty new to Python, but you get 2 weeks to do them and can work with others. Exams are easy and the final is a simple project, meaning I've done much more learning than cramming.
