Comment:
Professor Cohen gave very good lectures, and provided very good answers on piazza to all student questions (when another student didn't answer first). The assignments are VERY HARD but then comparitivly, the exam isn't so bad. Beware: if you take multiple classes with Professor Cohen, he can and will tell the exact same joke in each class.

Shai is very knowledgeable and teaches well, however he tends to go off topic a lot during class. But you're in good hands because his videos are very helpful and he curves a lot.

Tends to go off topic nearly every lecture. Knows and understands material really well, however, not the greatest at explaining. Should've spent more times running through examples rather than ranting about Bahen.

Goes off topic every now and then on things that aren't related to the course. Office hours are alright if you can get to him. Tutorials are probably better for getting a grasp on material.

I found his online lectures to be extemely clear and helpful, and Im taking him again for APS163 this semester. His in class MAT188 lectures are frusterating as he goes off topic, I may end up stopping attending his in class-lectures.

No help for students outside of his packed 1 hour office hour, says he will look at Piazza, the online forum used, but checks once a month. Insanely long times to mark (Still waiting over 2 months for our first problem set, along with problem set 2,3 and test 2 mark ). I do not recommend taking a class with him.

I'd like to say despite how the summer course was ran, he was a wonderful and phenomenal professor. He really showed me the true spirit of mathematical thinking (and actually got me of all people to like it). The course itself though isn't supposed to be too hard (or interesting for that matter), but Shai defied all of that. Would take him again!
