Winter 2020 - Sangchul is probably one of the best math professors I have ever met at UCLA. Although he just received his Ph.D. in 2019 and became a first-year lecturer, he really knew how to be a good teacher: he gave clear lectures, detailed lecture notes, and extra office hours. Whenever I have questions and emailed him, he would reply within a day with very detail explanations (even with graphs!). Midterms were fair and easy and the final was long and hard (but it is open book, open notes, and you have a whole day to complete the exam). I believe no professor else would be such cute to draw smiley faces in lecture notes and such kind to give more than one practice test before examinations. 32B is a very hard class, and Sangchul has made it much easier for me. Definitely choose him if possible! Overall: 5 Easiness: 4 Workload: 5 Clarity: 5 Helpfulness: 5

Spring 2021 - Take everything you read here with a grain of salt. This is probably the worst class I've taken at UCLA but it honestly was due to outside factors. Dr. Lee was pretty sick for most of the quarter so the class was definitely on the backburner- communication fell off the face of the earth and the class was pretty uninteractive. We were supposed to have quizzes for each lesson with a flipped classroom but we basically stopped having them after like week 6 or something and honestly they really helped me keep up with the content. Midterm 2 wasn't graded until the last day of grades being due (with no answer key uploaded) and the last homework assignment was abandoned. I also hate flipped classrooms and basically didn't attend live lectures for the last 5ish weeks as I felt they were pointless. Overall though, tests were pretty fair, homework wasn't too hard, we had infinity attempts for quizzes and everything and he tried his best. At the end he said he even gave a light curve because the averages were a bit lower than expected (which is honestly unheard of for covid era 24hr tests ngl.) The lectures gave me enough information to succeed and even though I wish it were more engaging, I don't doubt that he'll be a better professor when he is at full strength.
