Very good professor with great lectures and reasonable homeworks. Our midterm was quite difficult but rereading lecture notes helps a lot.

Good professor, great environment in the class. But his teaching is likely to be an info seminar than a lecture. So, if u really want to learn something, I recommend you utilize office hours to talk with him. He's so EZ to contact! And u can use the information from OCW as ur REAL lecture notes if you want both an A grade and a good environment.

Awful professor. Expects everyone to be an expert in coding and calculus and doesn't accommodate for those who aren't. Posts lecture videos to watch outside class, then lectures the entire class period, then assigns coding and quizzes. Expectations for the midterms are wildly unclear. If you don't have coding experience- buckle up.

Sebastian's lectures are hardcore and derivation-heavy, which I like a lot. He is very happy to answer questions and clarify things. The tests are not hard, and he would brief you before midterms and finals, which are not cumulative.

Never thought i would not receive an A for a lab class. Everything was graded at the end and had extremely vague instructions. Gotten points knocked off for a bad conclusion. even though it told me to summarize. By the time I knew what type of lab report she wanted, the labs were all done. Someone should honestly fire this atrocity of a professor.
