it was okay could be better to be honest.
- A LOT of WebWork homework. (2~3 per week) - Extra HW Credit if you complete 3 days in advance (basically self study) - Lecture: 3/5. Slides: 4/5. As the others said, he likes to teach "different approaches" to problems. I love it and this is the exact reason I chose his class in the first place, but you might not.
Lectures are hard to follow. He talks about his preferred way to approach problems which are actually useful sometimes even if they seem like they won't be. His tests are super easy.
Overcomplicates concepts because he finds the different version of solving something "cool." You can get extra credit on every HW if you turn it in early, aka before he teaches it. So, you have to teach yourself/cheat to get that EC. Tests are fair, but you won't learn what you need from class. Use CLAS if you have him.
