CollegeGood lecturer and explains the material pretty well. One midterm, which was very easy, and a final which wasn't too bad. Section attendance is mandatory and you just go over homework problems.
class is pretty easy, he is a good lecturer and if u go to office hours its p much an easy A, section adttendacne mandatory but he drops a section. great lecturer!
Lectures were fairly engaging, although there's way too much information on the slides and it gets impossible to follow at times. HW is a free 50%. But final was absurdly difficult based on everything else he assigned; it brought my grade down an entire letter. You'll be fine as long as you study MUCH more than you think you have to for the final.
Professor is fine, but his lectures are not interactive and a lot is gone over very quickly. The class was curved generously at the end because of the midterm and final being somewhat challenging. Homework and grading are both very lenient: scored a mediocre 89 on both midterm and final, but I originally thought my grade was going to be much worse.
Lectures were nothing special but sufficient to learn material. Easy midterm, harder final. Gave us extra credit for filling out a survey. Generous curve on lower end (63% turned into a passing C). Most people have difficulty with the material, not the professor. HW is harder than both midterm and final and serves as good prep.
He's just okay, boring lectures, he moves fast and skims over a lot. TAs were a lot more helpful. Exams were very difficult and incomparable to HW/practice exams, despite him saying they would be similar. The difference between what he gives us to prepare and the actual exam is genuinely laughable.
