Reviews of professor Genya Ishigaki

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Genya is a legend. Tests are fair, homework is not bad, and gives a lot of credit back on exams. If you read the textbook, should be an easy A.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Ishigaki is very knowledgable. You will have to read a lot to get good grades in his class. Very approachable and respectable and will help students a lot during office hours. Assignments and Exams are really hard. He has a very specific grading criteria.

Very nice professor. Very patient with questions during office hour. Lecture is pretty organized and straight to the point.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were very average. Fairly boring, but each has useful content for the exams. You need the textbook for homework. Only three homeworks, but each was WAY too long. However, they're the best thing to review for the exam, so try hard! There's exam reworks/redemptions for up to 20% back. He provides a (very wordy) formula/concept chart.

84% of the grade is on the exams, but if you take the extra credit exams you get up to 20 points back. His handwriting and monotone voice makes lectures very hard to follow.

Not much to say, very easy class, exam questions are directly from slides which you can have open while taking them, & hw is short - just based on commands and concepts he taught in class.

He does not take the time to explain what he teaches. Copies over other university lectures and does not take time to understand his audience. Also will preassume a lot of things that he may believe to be common knowledge and will cut your marks in his Assignments and exams over things he did not teach clearly. Very poor instruction.
