Pro. lee absolutely did a great job at lecturing CS450, he did review all the basics before you get started to work on the OS, the only down side is that he did not spent enough time to lecture file systems instead spending too much time on concurrency.

Awesome lecturer. He teaches by doing so any question you have and he'll show you why intuitively by walking through the code. His excitement in class makes you want to listen, participate and learn.

His teaching style makes you enjoy the class. Worth starting labs earlier, since they are not typical easy programming assignments. Hell make sure everyone understands the topic. Do the labs, since they worth 50 points.

Comment:

This class is absolutely coding heavy, there are 4 heavy lab assignments which contains at least 300 - 1000 lines of codes each. If you are familiar with C languages, especially the usage of pointers, you have no problem to ace this class. There are only several concepts you have to implement with the C lang. Good luck!

He is a great teacher but his tests and labs are hard. You gotta devote time to his classes, they aren't easy A/Bs. Upsides: Reallllyyyy easy on the eyes, cares about whether his students learn or not

Saelee is by far the best teacher/professor I have ever had. He's obviously extremely passionate about computer science and is the most knowledgeable professor I've ever had. He is the most confident speaker/presenter I've seen as well which makes students very attentive/excited to learn in class.

SUUUUUUPER energetic, his structured in a way that its actually fun to attend. He himself is a good teacher. Only complaint is that he expects ppl to have a certain background knowledge even for an introductory course.

Really good at lecturing and taking the time to make sure students understand the topic. Always eager to help students outside of class as well. Really funny, too. There were only labs, a midterm, and a final for grades. Labs were 50%, midterm 25%, and final 25%. The labs were tough, so get an early start on those. Have fun!

Comment:

Great professor. Lectures are very involved and aren't boring in general. Labs are basically self graded so you know what grade you're going to get before you turn it in. Seems to care about students and is always willing to take questions. In general the professor is very nice and the class was great, would recommend.

Comment:

He is very patient to his students, even if you ask about very conceptual or primary code design on his class or on office hours(I always do), he will give you a very good insight to the problem instead of rephrasing the problem statement. In a word, nice-guy.

The intro to the profession CS is basically not graded if you take Lee, he exposes you to a bunch of different material and projects from different areas of CS but the pressure of doing well is nonexistent. Super fun, personable teacher.

Comment:

Clearly passionate about CS as a subject and wants students to understand. Pay attention to his lectures and you really will learn a lot. Beware, exams are multiple choice. Main frustration came from very slow grading time -- he graded 90% of our labs only a couple of days before the final.

Comment:

If you do the labs & quizzes, all you need is a 70-75 on the final and you've earned yourself an A. Moreover, every exam replaces the grade of the previous exams (granted that it's received a higher grade). Pay attention in this class, it's very important for all CS/CE majors.

Comment:

Lectures are great. Labs are checked using unit testing, so you're pretty much guaranteed full credit as long as you can make your code pass. Tests are multiple choice and aren't too hard as long as you understand what was taught in class.

Amazing lecturer, well-spoken kind person. He recognizes that the material is difficult and explains things very clearly. The class is interactive and he is responsive to what the needs of the class are (ie extensions). He also posts helpful videos that are hugely beneficial to completing machine problems which contain helpful hints in themselves.

Dude is a great instructor. He is really chill and loves joking around with you. You will learn a lot while enjoying the class. It is really interactive too. Also he drives a sick motorcycle. I asked him if he was inspirational and he said no.

Comment:

He's a great lecturer. He's very funny and easy to listen to. He keeps things interesting but his lessons also feel very linear and intuitive. Whatever textbook he tells you to get, do it. You won't have homework from it but the info is vital. He's way nice. And way better than I would be at tolerating stupid questions that were JUST answered.
