    Grade: A

    I loved Professor Chwe. He was super knowledgeable about technology which was especially helpful during covid and zoom lectures. He also used movies to explain class concepts which I really enjoyed.

    I think this class was great and an easy A. The professor is amazing and so willing to help. the class has no exams which makes the class even easier:)

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    Professor Chwe is a sweetheart and also very knowledgeable about the topic. I liked the way he went about lecturing, and the TA that I had, Ryan Hironaka, made the discussion section pretty productive and useful as well. Overall, as long as you get all of your assignments done and understand the material, you will be fine in this class. Mathematics/game theory are not my biggest strengths, but I managed to get by pretty well. I definitely recommend this class with this professor.

    Grade: A+

    The instructor truly cared about whether individuals understood a problem or concept and would take time to work through questions during lecture. Also, his office hours were very informative and he would go over to address extra questions.
