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).

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.

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.

He's a great professor. I didn't have him for PSTAT 131, but I will say that 131 is notoriously difficult since it's streamlined course by the department. Oh has been exceptional in 134 in terms of explaining material and concepts. Don't expect and easy A but expect a fair course. Keep up with the material and you'll be fine.

Professor Oh is really available whenever you have any questions. His lectures are more about concepts, and the quizzes are based on that. He doesn't talk about coding in lectures but the homework is in python. Therefore, you may need to learn by yourself how to deal with it. However, he will give hints and documentations in the prompt.

Great material. Great HW. However, Professor Oh if you are reading this, please be a bit more specific on what will be on the midterm. You made it seem like it was Heavy Coding exam, when it was mostly 50% theory, and the rest coding. I screwed up my midterm because of this. If I would have known it was heavy theory, I would have gotten an A+. (
