CollegeGreat at office hours, kind person, flexible and responsive via email. Great lecturer and well-structured slides. Fair grader and moderately difficult exams. However, easily the most course work I have ever had for a class. He's the heavy weight of the department for sure.
An especially kind professor I thought. Lectures are well structured and clearly thought out.
you definitely have to pay attention in lecture to be able to do well in this class as well as the labs. the grade was based on your labs as well as the midterm and final. tests are easy if you pay attention in class but definitely difficult if you dozed off or did not show up. some labs do take a long time so prep yourself for that.
The most tedious thing about this class was completing a couple pages for our "lab" which could be done before section and submit it to leave early. Besides that, notes were posted online (although they were blank), and the tests were open note! I loved coming to class and found the material super interesting.
