Professor Labutin's 4A was easy to pass given the online tests and allowing of notes/calculators. If this policy changes, it could be quite difficult because his lectures are highly conceptual. If the current exam format remains then you will definitely be ok. If not, pay close attention and do some self studying you'll probably be ok.
He has a strong accent which is especially unfriendly for non-English speakers. But the grading is very easy.
Definitely an easy class, but not one for learning things. Reading the textbook and doing practice problems was enough to get a high A, but I don't feel like I learned anything. Easy class, but I feel like it's gonna screw me over when I don't know the material in 6A and 6B.
An okay but funny lecturer, but his lectures aren't the best for learning. HW sets are usually long but individual problems are fairly easy. Practicing problems in textbook is the best way to study IMO. Luckily exams are online and are in general very very VERY doable with a light amount of studying. Overall: Textbook carried
