His lecturing on complex analysis was ok but in the end he turned the class into a PDE class.

it's legitimately impressive how little feedback a professor is willing to give. it's the last week of the quarter, he just assigned three new homeworks due during finals week, meanwhile he has seven outstanding assignments to grade. i'm in awe.

began the first day of class by saying this isnt going to be a complex analysis class, its going to be riemann in geometry with the complex you need learned on the fly/on your own. this is supposed to be an intro complex analysis class. instead he consistently used material from courses that are not prerequisite or necessary if taught properly.

Labutin just reads off of lecture slides so I stopped attending class. All tests were online and made the class much easier. Although he's a terrible prof, the class was super easy.

Lectures weren't mandatory, there were no midterms or a final, the class was only graded by weekly homework and five online/asynchronous tests, and the lowest score is dropped. Labutin is the goat.

His lectures are very theoretical and quite confusing. However, there are 5 online midterms and no final, and the homework is all webwork, so it's easy to get an A. The TA ended up being really helpful and all the section worksheets were just like the midterms. The only reason I understood the content is because I took linear algebra in hs.
