Lectures consisted of him reading his slides, which came from the book, but he was very helpful when he actually showed work.",

Once in a while he would write on the chalkboard but it was difficult to follow along. We were required to do some pointless homework problems on a computer program called \"R\".",

    "comment": "He seemed like a nice enough guy, but I disagree with how he taught the course. I was often confused as to what was important to know. I strongly disagree with his policy that no clarifying questions can be asked during exams, given that English is clearly not his first language, and it's hard to know what he expects. Overall, a frustrating course.",
