MATH 222
Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Lectures weren't super useful, but it was still interesting sometimes if you could get over his accent. Textbook (I took the class before the switch to packets) was very useful and taught me everything. I recommend getting it anyways (Thomas' Calculus). Exams were identical to practice exams.

Most certainly the worst professor I've ever had. I went to lecture the first two months but gave up after the first midterm. I actually did better teaching myself with the text book and watching online videos. If you have a choice, pick a different professor. You may think all the reviews are from jaded students, think again. This guy is bad news.

Definitely the worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are very difficult to understand because he makes so many mistakes (TAs always had to correct him) and he goes on tangents quite often. (no pun intended) If you have the option, take someone else. If you don't have a choice, then skip lecture and read the book or work on problems with a tutor.

Smart professor, but possibly too smart for this level of course. Received corrections multiple times during lecture because he was unsure what he was talking about. He also only taught at a level he could comprehend, not something that everyone could comprehend. The TA's provided for the discussions were either knowledgeable or dry teachers.

If I could give a rating of zero, I would give Professor Oh that rating. Math was one of my favorite classes in high school but not any more. Oh's class is impossible. He is without doubt a smart guy. He just has no idea how to teach. His class is way more challenging than it should be simply because e is a horrible instructor.
