About this rating

Raw average: 1.43/5 from 44 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

MATH 211
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
I dropped the class after two lectures. This class was especially hard if you have never taken calc before (Even though it's Calc 1, he teaches as if we already know the material). The way he teaches material is very confusing; he doesn't walk through problems ever; he just talks and clicks through a slideshow.

MATH 221
Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Chanwoo was hard to understand, came late and unprepared to lecture, failed to properly answer questions, and constantly messed up and seemed like he didn't understand the concepts himself. He was a nice guy, just not a very informed professor.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
He did not teach; I had previously taken calculus in high school and spent my entire semester teaching my friends the curriculum. If I didn't have previous experience I would have failed. Would get problems wrong every lecture while doing them on the board and then would just move on knowing that he was wrong. DO NOT TAKE.

Good luck, he doesn't teach and reads his slides instead of explaining what's going on.
