ISYE 521
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He truly cared about his students and that we learned the material. Focused on overarching concepts rather than emphasizing details. Lectures were interesting, homework and quizzes were fair, but the project directions were vague. You could really do whatever you wanted because it was super open ended. Talk with him to make sure you're on track.
