Reviews of professor Bertrand Sager

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Was an extremely hard marker. After doing bad on the first take home exam, I got no comments on where I went wrong or where to improve (the other TAs did) so I had to set up a zoom meeting. He met with me and made me feel like crap but I had an idea of where to improve for next time. He graded me worse on the second exam. Avoid him as a TA.

Bert is a phenomenal TA. He was extremely accessible, compassionate, and witty. He always took time to check in with his students, was reasonable with assignment grading, and took additional time to go over questions before submitting. He always vouched for his students and pushed me to succeed far beyond what I thought was capable.

Awesome prof! Tests were all multiple choice and very fair. However, the criteria for the paper was a bit unclear, and the class average for it was 58%. Make sure you talk to your TA to clarify and ask questions!

Bert is definitely a character, super funny and sarcastic but very relatable. He is so knowledgeable about a variety of topics and is always open to talking to students. His lectures use examples that show up on the tests so it's helpful to attend. If you're ever confused, I definitely recommend going to him for extra help, he genuinely cares!

Best prof I've ever had. Interesting, hilarious, and truly cares about his students. The class was at 830 am but I didn't miss a single one simply because he made lectures so fun. He makes every concept easily understandable. His tests are fair and show your knowledge, he doesn't try to trick his students. Wish he could be my prof for every course.

He is nice and friendly. But he speaks too fast and refuse to use a mic. It is hard for non-native speaker to understand what he said.
