Comment:

He is the coolest professor. Even though his quizzes and tests are challenging, his lectures are fun. He records lectures and uploads them before class, while class time is spent on doing actual implementation of topics. He is very approachable and wants to see everyone succeed.

Comment:

Good professor, knows his stuff. He made the class watch content videos before each class and gave clicker quizzes at the beginning of class. Those videos only explained the theory behind the subject but not the coding part. There were coding in-class assignments on every class which some were challenging. Want to pass? attend class is a must!

Comment:

You: If you really intend to learn (and are not behind grades you didn't work for), this is the class to be in. You'll learn a lot. But you must be good at prerequisites (like MatLab for image processing) He: Has vast knowledge; in-class discussions and assignments follow his lecture videos profoundly; helpful Grading: fair and square; not tough

Comment:

Great lecturer. He really knows the material. The best professor I've had at UNCC so far. He goes over all of the theory in class and you have to apply it to your programming challenges. Assignment grades were weighted competitively. Tests can be difficult. If you want to learn some interesting stuff and be challenged, take these courses!

He is a very good professor. He explains everything well and if you take notes in class he gives you the code you need for the assignments and tests. Just go to class and listen and you'll get an A

Amazing teacher. Hes clear about everything and he puts his own personal spin on it when teaching. A really down to earth guy when teaching. Tests and very easy if you pay attention and do the homework. Came out with a B

He speaks english very well despite his korean descent. Always takes the time to try and explain various data structures clearly, and uses examples/analogies all the time to help you understand... great prof., and is pretty funny sometimes too.

Comment:

I can honestly say I look forward to this class. He does a great job explaining everything and the assignments are more than acceptable for the skill level a CS student should be at by now. I had to some research outside of class to get things done sometimes but isn't that how it's supposed to be? Highly recommended if you want to learn something.

Overall very good professor, knows this topic well and delivers in a fun way. His assignment is tough but his grading is lenient. He and Dr. Souvenir are the best Professors I met in UNCC.

Dr. Shin is one of the best professors I've had! Computer Science is my major so I can't speak for someone outside the major itself but he makes the class fun and is always willing to help out if you need it. Easy to understand, very enthusiastic about what he teaches and funny. Learned tons!

Comment:

Dr. Shin is a great professor. He is very enthusiastic about CS, and he gives detailed examples in class. He's also incredibly nice and helpful. I have a CS background but data structures was still new material for me; I just showed up every day and paid attention and I made an A. Weekly HW assignments, occasional quizzes, 3 tests and a final exam.

Comment:

Its his research area so he is very knowledgeable and helpful. His powerpoints are hard to interpret without him lecturing - i.e. two slides of pictures and then a slide that just says "Why?". Homework every week, 3 tests, 1 final, 1 big project. Not an easy class, but you learn a lot. I'd take again.

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable on the topic (its his research area). Homework every week, 3 tests, 1 big project, and a final exam. The work starts to get overbearing, but the homeworks are generally only one important thing to learn. I did not like it too much, but I'd still recommend taking it because its different than any other cs class/subject.

In all fairness if you fail any of this teacher's classes you really don't belong in Computer Science. I understand that it has a high starting salary, but that doesn't mean it's for everyone.

Comment:

Definitely not a professor I'd recommend. I had to withdraw from the class b/c he was just impossible. Hard programming assignments weekly, hard exams, corny jokes, and useless textbook is what you'll get from this class. Nice guy and a good programmer, but bad professor. He also doesn't do any live programming and expects you to be a Java master.

Comment:

More than a third of my class failed the first test. His teaching methods are hard to follow and he excepts us to already be experts with Java. Makes little remarks that are probably supposed to be funny. Programming assignment due once a week.

Did not learn a thing in class. This was my first programming class, so everything was new. evidently he thought everyone in there was for computer science majors. failed every single test. the material i did learn was in lab. does not clarify work, tells you to check moodle to find your answer to a question. does not help out of class.

Comment:

Holy crap. Super hard. Tests are hand written, no compiler, no notes, and twice as hard as the lab/take home tests in a shorter amount of time. Slide shows are worthless outside of class. Attendance is taken with a clicker "quiz" with questions that confuse the hell out of you rather than show you something important. Prepare to learn in lab.
