CollegeProfessor Agboola expects you to learn a lot outside of class. It's homework-intensive, ranging from 60-80 problems a week. He will teach you the fundamentals but you will have to learn a lot on your own. The 2 tests are online. If you do all of the work, put in some effort, and have a basic understanding, you can get an A. He's also pretty funny.
This class is an interesting one. The professor is very funny and the lectures are easy to follow and quite interesting. The homework is due weekly on Thursday nights and probably takes 5-10 hours per week because you are not taught how to do the HW. You get unlimited attempts for HW and it is 50% of your grade, so an A is achievable.
Professor Agboola is hilarious and knowledgeable. Can come off as intimidating/might embarrass you in front of the whole class if you ask a stupid question. His whole teaching philosophy is learning by doing so he assigns an absurd amount of HW, up to 80 HARD questions/week. Midterm online/easy, final online/hard. HW is 50% of grade which helps.
Agboola has a funny way of answering questions; he's a bit of a cornball. The lectures are pretty straightforward, but there is a LOT of pretty difficult homework (70-80 Webwork problems a week). The midterm and final were easy and covered the concepts at the most basic level. Homework was 50% and the midterm and final were 25% each which was nice.
