Great professor, very clear and knowledgeable
Wonderful professor - very engaging, helpful, and clear.
Really supportive in terms of resources offered, clearly explained concepts
I loved this Professor. Sadly, I don't think he teaches at UCLA anymore
Professor Corsello's were sometimes difficult to follow because he moved through the material very fast, but his office hours were very helpful for understanding the concepts.
There was a lot of extra credit offered and a fair grade distribution. Midterms and finals are as expected based off the practice problems.
