Even though the class was hard, I do think it was taught in a fair manner. The homework was not easy but not impossible and I think everything in the class was well structured. He gives many examples and always answers questions no matter how long it will take. He was very considerate given the COVID situation and was the TA's were also very on top of commenting on Piazza.

The concepts in this class were hard but Professor Hsieh did his best to teach them and was never impatient when students asked multiple questions (sometimes repetitive ones). He is also very nice and extremely considerate for this special quarter. Whenever a student asks a question he also never fails to respond and say "thank you" afterwards which I thought was really cute haha. Not only did he immediately say it shouldn't be a problem to make our finals optional if you pass/no pass but he also extended the final from 24 hours to 72 hours to accommodate more students. There were only 4 homeworks for the entire quarter and although some of the questions were challenging they were doable. If you go to the TA's and Professor's OH they are more than willing to help you with it! Shoutout to Hadley Black for also being an awesome TA :))

Professor Cho had to teach a very difficult class in a tough situation this quarter and I think he honestly did better than almost every other CS180 teacher besides maybe one or two of them. The concepts of the class are very difficult in general but I think he did a good job of trying to teach each concept while providing further resources in the textbook. He gave us reasonable time to do each homework and complete both the midterm and finals. Even though the final was a lot harder I think that was in part due to the concepts on the final since it wasn't cumulative. I don't think the people complaining about him this quarter have ever taken the class with one of the other professors who are much worse. He is a super nice guy and always takes time to answer questions in class and overall I enjoyed my experience much more this quarter than with other professors.
