Selected comments from students
“The instructor was very knowledgeable and connected class concepts and assignments to real world events and tasks very well.”
“Was incredibly patient and helpful in working to make sure that students understood the concepts being taught in class.”
“I have never taken an actual coding course before that deals with languages like R, so coming into the course I was slightly intimidated. However, Professor Cho's teaching style was perfect for those that had no previous experience with R. She integrated us into R studio well, and then allowed us to delve deeper towards the end of the course.”
“The instructor was very friendly, approachable, answered questions clearly, graded quickly and more than fairly, and was very understanding of the fact that I had never coded before.”

“Ahyoung Cho was a great instructor. Her ability to further explain concepts we discussed in class was really helpful to me and the section provide many resources that I was able to use when studying for the exams.”
“Ahyoung is very approachable and always willing to help however she can"
“She absolutely knew what she was talking about. I also just really liked her attitude. She had a very no nonsense way about her that I really respected.”
“She is very knowledgeable and is able to explain concepts when people are confused.”
“Ahyoung was absolutely amazing!! Could not praise her enough! She was available to answer any questions I had, responded to emails quickly, and really connected with us in class. She would follow up on questions asked virtually in person, which really made me feel cared for. She was always prepared, listened to us well, and provided helpful insight and perspectives.”
“The discussions Ahyoung held were absolutely incredible. In these discussions, my classmates and I engaged in respectful, deep discussions of class content and our own experiences.”
“She always encouraged our participation and rather than knocking us down if someone answered incorrectly, she would instead guide us towards the correct answer and applaud the student for trying.”
