Reviews of professor Noriyuki Hamada

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Hamada is such a great teacher. I took his course while we were learning online due to covid and he was one of the only teachers who made online learning bearable. He writes all his notes before class and then goes over them in greater detail during class. The class is graded on the weekly written homework and the tests.

While his teaching style isn't my favorite and sometimes hard to follow (Usually reads off notes), Professor Hamada makes up for this by being VERY clear about what we're learning, always sharing his exact notes, and being very clear to what we have to learn. Everything is broken down into steps so that it's understandable. Makes subject easier.

From Japan and really hard to understand his lectures. However, his weekly homework is online and helps with the material. Tests are easy.

He often glosses over mathematically important or interesting topics. The order in which is lecture is ordered feels unnatural as he teaches applications of concepts before rigorously defining them. His accent is also a bit hard to understand at times. Regardless, if you're good at Math, this will be a minor hurdle. Homework is easy. Exams are easy

Took class online. Midterm 25%, Final 25%, Homework 50%. Homework are long, but if you do it you will pass the class even if you do badly on the exams. The midterm is tough but the final is easier. He does have an accent but is understandable and a nice guy. Posts notes after class. Zoom lectures were very boring and I only attended 4-5 classes...
