Spring 2020 - (Took the undergrad version of this class.) This professor might seem nice at first, but to balance off the grade distribution of the class, he would turn into an extremely unreasonable person and downgrade extremely harshly for the final project. It seems that he is more concerned with how the curve/grade distribution made him look than the actual quality of group projects. I would suggest anyone who plans to take this class to AVOID him. He doesn’t take consideration of some students living in bad conditions during the pandemic. His participation grading scheme is ridiculous: it’s a Socratic type of class where he calls out students to answer. However, overachieved students would say everything they know before he even have a chance to ask the questions. So the other students who are not fast enough to talk/raise hands ended up only getting asked two or three times throughout the quarter, meaning that they get a really low participation score. Think really low. That seems to me is unfair because not everyone enjoys being at competition mode all throughout lecture. Tbh, I think he uses the participation grades to balance off the curve too. You could have really good grades up until last day of week 10, but could ended up with a bad grade because of the harsh final report and participation grading. His lecture videos are too fast and goes over things too quickly. Overall, he is not an easy person and this class doesn’t teach you much. SMH
