Great guy who wants his students to do well and pass. He has open office hours and loves when students come and asks him questions.

Prof. Oulhote is very knowledgeable and has done a lot great work in the field. However, he struggles with teaching. He attempted teaching a graduate course to undergrad students this semester and we all struggled with the concepts. Very easy to pass and he is a good guy. But you will be very confused...

He does not give unnecessary assignments every week just to keep us busy but rather have a couple of useful assignments throughout the semester. 2 midterms the lowest dropped and the final. 2 HW and 3 quizzes the lowest one dropped. He is one of the best professors, I would highly recommend. Caring, enthusiastic, patient and competent

Professor Oulhote is a great professor who tries to engage his students, but because there is few quizzes and tests throughout the semester, the audience he is trying to engage may not be as well brushed up on the questions he is asking. The tests and quizzes are somewhat repetitive so if you are able to remember the basics you should do ok.

Trust me when I say that this class is not hard at all. You don't need to memorize any formulas, he gives you them and flow charts which are the most helpful. As long as you review the slides, review the hw before the exam, and review the practice exam, I promise you will be fine. He wants his students to succeed, he does everything he can to help

Very knowledgeable! 3 hw, 4 quizzes, 3 exams including final. Lowest hw, quiz and exam - not including the final- is dropped. Multiple extra credit assignments available, he provides the textbook on Moodle so no need to purchase. Gives secondary hw deadlines however takes forever to grade. Didn't know scores/ grade until last day of class!

He put way too much emphasis on the exams. Exams were worth 65% of your grade including the final. The quizzes were challenging even though we could work with people. He treated this class like a graduate class and there was WAY TOO MANY open ended questions on his exams. He grades very hard and his TAs are not helpful.

I took Epi with him and his tests weren't bad as long as you reviewed the slides, HW, and the practice exams. His first exam, I got a 30 - rest went well. The i-clickers were annoying - he put too much emphasis on correctness, which wasn't fair, but he was not bad. Tried to be fair and cared about his students understanding the material. He's good.
