    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Min is very good at explaining exactly what you need to know for the exam and what he is just showing you for deeper understanding (i.e. proofs of the concepts). He is very good at explaining the complicated definitions into something super easy to understand. He is also occassionally funny lol. The homeworks pull directly from the lecture, the tests are straightforward if you just know the basics of the concepts. Overall very solid.

    Was a clear lecturer. Went through everything nicely and wrote reasonable tests. Not super exciting, but that's kind of what you want in a math professor anyways.

    Very chill professor, tests are very straightforward (true and false are mostly taken from homework)
