BSE 270
Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Content is easy for the most part. Exams are hard but a curve always gets applied. All work is online and there is quite. a bit. Expect to spend anywhere from 3-6 hours a week on the class. I would recommend doing all work in a computer lab. Office hours are very helpful too.

BSE 270
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
He did a good job with providing a great textbook that gets you very familiar with solidworks. As someone with zero engineering experience, I was able to do pretty well. I found the lectures to not be helpful in terms of problem sets, but more so connecting topics to the real work significance. He makes it mandatory to meet with him for a 2% grade

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
This professor is the worst for senior design projects. He has no idea what he wants and never gives a straight answer to any question. Dodging as many questions as possible while giving no helpful information.

Professor Choi respects your time and only asks you to do things that will directly help you pass his class. I wish more of my professors were like him.
