He literally was "sick" for half the lectures and was so chill. He literally canceled the final and is a D1 chiller. You will get a decent grade in this class and I know he tells his TA's to grade easy so if you get a bad grade, talk to your TA.

Love this man he is my icon. He doesn't wanna be there as much as you. His tests are legit like 6-7 questions. You can bring a notecard too. He's so easy take him if you can.

The lectures are great and the final is similar to the practice sample.

MATH4B . Porter M J 3 Months Ago

Having taken him for 2A/2B last year, 4B was one of his more ok quarters. However, he's still a legendary prof who's well respected. Weekly HWs, 2 midterms+final (doing well on final replaces your lower midterm score) and he curves generously. Skewed diff. rating cuz 4A last year (w/ Morrison) was terrible so 4B was hard for me. I recommend Porter!

Pretty mid lecturer(just boringly writes examples on the board). homework, midterms and finals all pretty fair. The only issue is the course had big pacing issues, it started off very easy but had huge chunk of material in last 2 weeks. Also he assigned homework for the thanksgiving week and the final week which was really annoying.

Two midterms and a final which are not too bad. Posts clear notes for students to review and understand the concepts better. If you understand the notes and do the practice problems, the tests are not going to be too bad. Pretty good professor.
