CollegeProf Stopple gave a fat curve. He has his own textbook with all the theorems, propositions, and exercises. This quarter, he covered 13 theorems, 27 propositions, and 80 exercises. In order to ace the class, you should try to do the exercises not assigned for hw on your own. You can go to TA and professor's OH for help. Would take his class again.
He is truly a genius. I greatly admire his extensive knowledge and outstanding problem-solving abilities. His teaching is filled with passion, and he always uses vivid examples and clear explanations to help us understand abstract mathematical concepts. Grading is based on a curve, improvement and your overall understanding of the concept.
Stopped is good when it comes to lecturing, but grades unforgivably and will take off points even if your proof is correct. Do NOT fall behind on your work, and you'll be good since his midterms/final are just homework/textbook questions.
Don't take his math 117. It's awful. Doesn't give deatils in his notes. Exams extremely hard. Median score of midtern 1 was 6.5 out of 16. Ruined my GPA. The worst decision I have made is to take his 117.
