WORST professor i've ever had!!! He did not help you learn the material most of my class dropped it at the end because they didn't understand how to do it and he wouldn't help. If you asked for help he would explain it very difficult and if you didn't get it he'd laugh at you. If you aren't good at math i would not recommend him.

Had him Fall 2021. 1 of the most chillest but great math profs. He made a Youtube channel for his online lectures and made our Zoom meets where we would ask for help and practice. Course prep gr8. I recommend taking him math15 b4 Stat50. He explains it short and easy to understand. He could repeat his math solving again. Grades fairly. Funny.

Take this class! Professor Cho is so nice and approachable. You will need to study to do well but that is expected in any math course. There are 3 tests that are 45% of your grade and a final that is 25% of your grade. He gives plenty of time during these exams and allows you to use a full page cheat sheet. Speak up for help and go to office hours!

I came to this class with an open mind to learn, but this professor does not cut it. He is very vague with his teaching style, and belittles/laughs at students that don't grasp the concepts quickly. Get ready to do a lot of self teaching if you take his class. Avoid this guy like the plague. Actually I'd rather have the plague.

Explained lessons well. Lenient and a good class environment. But mountains of HW every week. Even after exams/quizzes. A major exam the week before final and a last minute, not part of syllabus HW assignment to turn in on final day, created on the day of final. The textbook we used did not correlate with the worksheets which made it difficult.5/10

Overall a good professor, however, your grade will mostly depend on the tests. He gives retake opportunities but only for the first couple tests. Class was hybrid, so the online lectures were pretty boring, and sometimes material was unclear. The in person class was only to do worksheets in groups, and he wouldn't explain the material much.

Had him for a hybrid class. Calc is a relatively tough class and he did not really lecture in-person, as our in-person days involved group assignments. Tests impact majority of the grade (retake for first 3). Video lectures were semi-helpful, but does not go over hard problems. Some quizzes (proctored) and weekly hw. Nice guy and lenient, but mid.

Not the BEST prof, but better than most math profs here. Grading scale is very lenient w the opportunities he gives to retake a test (no matter how you scored); tries his best to take off as little points as possible when grading imo. Will need to do some self studying, ok at explaining, tests being relatively easy is probably best attribute of him

There is no lecture at all in class, only a list of exercises and group assignments for you to complete on your own. The exams and quizzes are heavily weighted, but the test points need to be figured out on your own, and it's easy to see what you didn't learn through the videos. The exams are completely closed and required use calculator.

Mr. Cho goes above and beyond, he is very energetic and funny when lecturing; he doesn't hesitate to answer any questions even if they seem very obvious. He preaches growth mindset, and genuinely wants students to do well, and makes me actually excited to show up to his class. In conclusion would recommend end this class wish I could take again.

lectures were mostly online (async) class was mostly to review. personally, the way in which the lectures ran was really confusing to me, & when I asked a question he treated me like I was dumb & would tell me to ask my classmate instead "b/c he knows" or would just ignore me & explain it to my classmate instead. i don't recommend him.

Professor Cho was a solid math teacher. Cho's class consisted of 3 exams with one final. Homework was lengthy and due every Sunday; however, he offers full credit for submitting after the due date. Additionally, there are a total of 5 to 6 quizzes which I found to be easy. Study guides are offered for every quiz/exam. Study those to succeed.

Mr.Cho is a very funny guy. I took his hybrid course and although it was difficult, I passed with an A. As long as you watch his lectures, do the group work, ask him questions on what you're confused on, and do the homework, you'll be good. Make sure to make use of resources such as office hours and tutoring. He allows retakes of exams. Helped sm!!

I took this class for 5C and I thought it was alright. He is very chill, but I think his lectures aren't very engaging. It's still pretty easy to follow as he provides formats for the notes, which makes it better. Overall, he provides good resources to learn, like the notes, study guides, and Webassign for homework assignments.

I took this professor because I had no other choice. Despite his low rating, I enrolled in his hybrid class. He doesn't teach—you're on your own. In class, it's just group work with no explanations. although he doesn't teach you. He's a tough grader with high expectations on exams. There's also a quiz every class. Avoid this professor if you can.

Generous grader, may round grade if close, not scam. Exams not scams. Homework accepted late for full credit, not scam. Lectures boring, scams, but doesn't care if you use lecture time to learn the stuff on gpt instead of from him, makes up for scam. Honest about what he does vs doesn't know, not scam. intuition on solving new problems, not scam.

He doesn't teach—he expects you to figure it out on your own. I took the class thinking the retake would help, but his retakes are way harder than the original test. He doesn't care about your grade and even laughed when I asked about mine. Avoid this class if you actually want to learn. Don't believe good revs is him trying to keep his job.

Highly recommend. The daily quizzes and classwork are always done in groups and the quizzes are the same questions as the classwork. Although he can't teach well, if your having trouble you can just ask him and he'll happily help. He's very inviting and opens each class with a life question.

Took it hybrid, flipped class. Mr. Cho is chill but doesnt really lecture or teach anything in class but he will help u if u ask. Notes on an AI website that werent very helpful. Weekly work was in-class group quiz, group worksheet, guided notes, and problems. Gives practice exam before each exam which is basically the same exam with diff numbers.
