Reviews of professor Dong Choi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very fun person to be around, and a very good teacher. One of the only teachers in the department that are approachable. He cares deeply about students and is passionate about their growth. Class is difficult but very fair. His twitch streams are very useful and helpful.

He's a really funny, smart, and caring professor. He legitimately wants to see you succeed not just as an engineer, but as a person. The ece 120 courseload is the same regardless of professor and he's definitely the best option. Great explanation techniques.

Top things he did: - Keeps the lectures lighthearted and fun, while maintaining engagement - Twitch streams as office hours are something I have never seen other professors and something I wish more professors did - Sticks around after each exam to talk to students about the exam - He made a seemingly daunting class really interesting and fun!

Professor Choi is really down to earth and understanding but he is strict on assignment expectations and due dates because he expects so much greatness from his students and knows that his expectations are reasonable having gone through UIUC himself. He has office hours often and online office hours. His lectures are how I learned 90% of material.

Casual savage, tells me to "get good." Honestly? That's a mood. On a more serious note, pretty good lecturer, someone I could pay attention to even on a coffee-fuelled day. Tough grader, expects you to go over and understand the material well.

In Fall '19, Dr. Choi was the most entertaining lecturer teaching ECE 120. He is very capable and really pushes his students. Some people find him to be somewhat harsh and are scared to ask stupid questions, but most students enjoy his approach. He is very laidback and relatable - in fact, many students go to his office hours for fun.

He marks based on anything else but the rubric. His marking is terrible and unjustifiable on so many bases.

Professor Choi is by far one of the best professors I've had. He keeps lecture interesting and valid, cutting out what we don't need for the exam, and instead explaining other topics more clearly.

At times, his lectures are disjoint, with no unified lesson thread followed behind examples offered in class. Would do well to make his own presentations, and follow them as opposed to jumping from slide to slide on the course director's slide shows.

I genuinely believe that professor Choi was the best professor to teach ECE120 during my semester. Luckily, the system allowed us to choose whichever professor to go to for lectures, and compared to the professor that I was assigned to, professor Choi simply teaches better. He even posts his office hours online so everyone can access them.
