Quotes from Students:

• "Professor Roh was a very dedicated professor to his students. He made it clear that if you were in his class, you were going to learn the material. Nothing was easily achieved but he wanted to ensure you succeeded. He taught not only the material for the class but skills that would be useful in our future careers. Professor Roh is ahead of his time with the applications he teaches and he maintains high expectations for his students. If I could take more classes with him, I would simply because of his demeanor and attitude towards his students. Outside of teaching, Professor Roh makes time for his students and makes sure to check in with them. Personally, I played frisbee with him and another student because he arranged for us to have some free time before finals. It was fun and a well needed break from the stress of finals. He asks his students about their future goals, what they have achieved thus far, and offers his help in any way he can. It's inspiring and encouraging to be one of Professor Roh's students."
• "I loved Professor Roh’s online Operations Management. Many other students in other OM sections had a very difficult time and disliked their class. My experience was the polar opposite with Professor Roh. He made the rather difficult topics easy and enjoyable to learn."
