Unbelievably accessible. Very passionate about the content. Just a great dude. He was out of town for a conference one week and the following week he offered 30 (!!) hours of office hours. He says there's a curve but he's ok breaking it if everyone does well. highly recommend.Rate My Professors ↗

Prof Seo is one of my favorite professors I have had so far. He truly loves what he teaches and you can see that through his lectures. He also cares about his students success and is always accessible outside of class to explain thoroughly any lectures or concepts you didn't understand.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Sang was one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very caring and wants every student to succeed. He is incredibly intelligent, but teaches his material in a way that makes it very clear and understanding. Highly recommend taking this class, one of my favorite classes as he made challenging lecture material very engaging.Rate My Professors ↗

Sang is my favorite professor I've had this far at UW-Madison. This guy is not only a genius, but is also super funny and caring towards all students. Exams are super fair, and if you pay attention in class, you will do very well on all of them. I can't recommend this guy enoughRate My Professors ↗

Prof. Seo is a very friendly and caring person and a fantastic professor. I enjoy his office hour. The course material is concept-heavy, and it takes you some time to review before each exam. Overall, it's not difficult and once you go to the lectures and read though the slides, you will be fine. The third exam is more difficult than the first two.Rate My Professors ↗
