Reviews of professor Yoshiaki Azuma

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Exam grades only. His exams are difficult if you aren't fully prepared. By that I mean there are lots of "reverse" multiple-choice questions so if you don't know the little details scattered throughout his slides, you may find yourself in trouble. Study the slides from the lectures heavily because the exams are 100% based on the slides.

Lots of people in my class had a couldn't understand his accent, but I didn't have a problem with it. His tests are based directly off of the PowerPoints so if you know those then you'll be good. The entire class grade was based on tests. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gave us 3% EC on our final course grade if we answered 2/3 clicker questions

An incredible professor. His lectures are certainly worth visiting, the time doesn't allow much for discussion, but he creates an environment that made me more engaged than when I was listening from home. The content difficulty ramps up halfway through but exams were never a "huh when did we learn this?" Exam format is similar to practice exams.

Dr. Azuma was an excellent professor to have. The class was all lectures, with most of the information coming straight from the textbook. Grade is all exam based. Exams are easy as long as you study the old exams. Dr. Azuma was very helpful in explaining concepts during class, and I loved his funny little anecdotes. Cool guy-ask him about youtube.

Dr. Azuma genuinely cares about his students. He makes sure that we understand what is going on in the class and explains his slides very clearly. He also takes the time to emphasize what is important for the exam on his slides which makes studying for exams easier. The exams are based on information covered in lecture only so studying is easy.
