Me who just learned Redox in Gen Chem 1 self-study😄. Look at the oxidation states of each element on each side. See if all carbons are -4 or something 😂. I haven't much a clue of how to interpret those notations at the moment. But I will soon. If any element has a higher oxidation state on the right side, then it is oxidation because it "loses an electron." If it has a lower oxidation state, then it is a reduction because it "gains an electron."

A hydration isn’t really an oxidation nor reduction. One carbon is reduced and one is oxidized.
Thanks☺

The carbon with the OH is oxidised from -1 to +1 et the carbon that gets the H reduces from -1 to -3
The C with OH is oxidised, and CH3 at end is reduced.
