Han seems like a nice, caring, and helpful dude but unfortunately he's not a great teacher. His English is often difficult to understand, he breezes through so many slides per lecture without clear explanations, and his expectations for the test were very vague given the 800 slides that were fair game to be covered.Rate My Professors ↗
very hard to understand with the mic in the lecture hall but awesome prof. Very straightforward and organized presentations. Easier to hear him talk on the lecture recordings.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Wang doesn't do demonstrations or explain things he is teaching about. It is very dense material and he throws slides up with a ton of information, glosses through it, and moves on. It makes it seem like what he doesn't bother to explain isn't important or needed to be retained.Rate My Professors ↗
If you've taken Psych 454, this unit of the course will be a breeze. Han was a great lecturer and his slides were clear and well organized. His exam was the easiest out of the 3 units, and the technical Tuesday section of his lectures (a brief explanation of neuro research techniques) was pretty interesting. Do not skip lectures for this unit!Rate My Professors ↗
