Such an understanding professor, and truly wants his students to pass. The quizzes weren't too difficult, and his final project was extremely easy. Stay on top of weekly assignments and its a great class.

Ive had some lectures so far. His class is so interesting and he explains everything super well. It's crazy how patient and how good at explaining stuff he is. Definitely take this professor.

Professor J-Mo is perhaps the best professor I have had at UCSB. His lectures go in depth & he shares a lecture video of all the classes he takes. I was never checking my watch in his lectures & his interactive way of teaching made me look forward to this class every week. Keep up with the lecture as the HW gets harder every week. Come to lecture.

Prof J-Mo is a good lecturer, and succeeds in making his lectures fun and interesting. This course itself is very easy, if you have any prior programming experience you don't need to go to any classes. Grade is based off of weekly homeworks and quizzes (online), and take home midterm and final projects. All of which are pretty easy.

He's one of the best professors I have ever had. Make sure you practice from his video lectures (same as the classes) later and try to keep up with the class. He's really good at his lectures, never felt bored.

This class is pretty self taught if you dont have programming or coding experience. The in person lectures are exactly the same as the prerecorded lectures on Gauchospace, so going to class isnt needed. The lectures are very good at teaching basics, but the homework throws you in the middle of chaos and theres a lot of creative thinking.

His lectures were not helpful at all. Sections were the only useful things as well as TA office hours. The math and stats portion at the end (derivatives/probability) were taught in two days and confused me despite already knowing this. The homework wasn't hard but the midterm and final definitely were and tanked my grade. Wish I took CS 8 instead.

Took during the summer. Prerecorded lectures are useless. All he does is derive and read out equations, variable by variable, without giving the intuition behind them. You can understand him if you're a computer. Synchronous lectures are similarly boring and unhelpful. Surprised he has such a high rating, maybe he's better in person.

Professor Moehlis is amazing. His lectures are fascinating and helps a lot for you to understand the course materials. Half of the credits is just participation; the final project is not hard but really interesting.

Great professor for ENG3. Exam mistakes are costly but an A is very doable! Sections were basically optional if you have coding experience. Awesome class!

Moehlis was one of the beset professors you can get. He is extremely clear, keeps it interesting as possible, and tests/grades very fairly. You should take him if you have the option.

Prof. J-Mo is really amazing! He is so respectful and humorous. The lecture was great and the material is very easy to understand. The questions in the exams are very similar to his practices. If you think the homework or sections are a little bit hard, don't worry! Just follow his lecture and do the practice exams and you will get a good grade.
