Reviews of professor Michael Choi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Choi takes his lectures slowly and sometimes falls behind schedule, but he will cut material off the exams if necessary. If you do the ALEKS HW, pay attention, and go to all the lectures, you will get a great grade. I did no learning outside of the class and did so well on all the exams; so I only needed a 25% on the final for an A. Take his class!

He is a great professor, but I didn't like the software he used for homework. ALEKS is the worst thing I've ever experienced. It is so frustrating and I would spend HOURS trying to do a couple problems. The program would erase your progress if you get a problem wrong and it is so annoying. Other than that, he is a good professor.

He just reads off the slides and then expects us to know how to do the short answer questions on our HW. The MC section of the HW isn't that hard, but his short answer section is where it really hurts (he hardly posts sample problems in lecture) If you have the misfortune of having him, work with the TAs and your classmates to pass this class.

I don't mind when professors just reading off their slides, as long as their slides are providing complete knowledge that is needed. I don't even mind heavy reading as long as I could learn the knowledge that is needed for the homeworks and tests. But this professor's lecture slides are incomplete.

Very hard tester! He reads directly off slides and his explanations aren't good. He has trick questions on exams that you will never have seen before. The multiple choice part of test is reasonable but very tricky. Do not take this professor, it will save you the headache. The first midterm average was a 55%. Avoid this professor at all cost!

Very good lectures, he's very clear and concise which is easy to catch along.

His lectures were great, all slides were uploaded to Canvas. Grades participation through Clicker questions, but it's easy to make up material and missed points. One assignment per week, online questions with unlimited tries. Definitely requires studying and note taking outside of class, but its not too difficult. Online midterms and finals.

Solid class but was consistently 5-10 minute late to a 50 minute lecture. Class is not difficult if you pay attention and do the homework but you still are going to have to do most of your learning outside class with the lecture slides since he doesn't go super in depth and the lecture is more of an overview.

homework is through aleks and is nearly impossible, extra credit is helpful, and there are daily participation sheets so make sure you show up because, in the end, they all add up. Lectures are NOT recorded and everything is written on the board no sides or rewinding later you have to be present at that moment to get the information.
