    Do was a great prof. Lectures were not necessary to attend as he would post his lecture notes. Gave 43% of people As during this quarter.

    I really enjoyed this class and Prof. Do's teaching. I believe he was very clear in his lectures and was able to elaborate behind both formula and why those formula worked.

    Fair tests and a decent lecturer. Could benefit from more in class examples, but discussions help with that. For tests, make sure to study quizzes and homework.

    Make sure to pay attention a lot during class. Sad thing is is that he doesn't record lectures. The TAs were the best this quarter and provided so much extra prsctice
    problems and thoroughly explained concepts I couldnt understand in class.

    Do is a very clear lecturer. He clearly explains all the concepts and has a lot of examples to help. Notes were published online, homework was taken from the textbook and he occasionally wrote his own problems for the homework as well. There was a fair amount of proofs in this class but he always gave very clear examples.
