CollegeSchley is more concerned with teaching himself how to code than actually teaching you. The only knowledge comes from (rushed) lectures, which are primarily his rambling rather than teaching you any material. When there is information, it's somehow wrong. Think you can learn in office hours? Only about his personal side projects. Not recommended.
lecture notes are copied from online, not that helpful since he basically just explains in very abstract ways the "mathematical intuition" but doesn't really go over concrete examples. prepare to self study/ask ta. gives out extra credit for doing hw early (before he goes over the concept in lecture) so just self study, midterm has stuff not taught
it was okay could be better to be honest.
Professor Schley is genuinely the worst professor I have ever had at UCSB. He would not tell us what was on the midterm and he told us three days before that we needed to know 3 more chapters and his practice test was so hard so I dropped the class.
