Reviews of professor Seiji Takemae

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
honest review: very nice person, but mediocre teacher. he is soft-spoken, so sit towards the front of the classroom if possible. the first half of the lab sessions are also lectures unrelated to the lab experiment. all assignments are submitted via Canvas, even for his in-person courses. honestly, he'd be a better researcher instead of a teacher

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Did well just by carefully watching his lectures and really paying attention to things I didn't understand. I did subscribe to Chegg, but this and the lectures were enough. Lectures are slow, but you can speed them up. He does a great job explaining problems. He is a tad disorganized, but once you figure out what needs to be done, it's a breeze.

Very nice and shy dude. Responds to all questions, grades quickly, and has saintly patience. Not an easy class by any means and he can grade somewhat harshly but great teacher overall.

This class is tough, but that's expected. He didnt finish the materials on time (short summer session with 2 holidays), but professor is lenient, and he gives you extensions to complete your HW and lab. Despite of many students (who clearly did not read the syllabus) say about the final exam, he is fair & understanding. Highly recommended.
