-Interesting Professor, attend lecture and section. -I really appreciate that at the end he doesn't make it dramatically hard to get a reasonable grade, he wants to see students succeed, at-least thats how I felt. At the end you can see how much he helps grade wise.

Really nice guy overall, his lectures just got really boring but unfortunately you do have to pay good attention to them. Great TA, which I think made the course super engaging. Content is obscure, super easy GE, even easier for my major course.

If you are taking this class only for a GE, do not take it, the TA's are tough graders and stingy with their grading. The professor himself is amazing, he engages with the students and tries to entertain the crowd during lecture, but overall the ones grading your work is those TA's. There are lecture quizzes every Ta section,hurts my grade 3# down.

Hes an interesting lecturer and the tests are very fair. I would say its not the easiest GE but its very clear cut. Some of the TAs are pretty harsh graders though. Overall, hes a likeable guy. I got a 102% without too much work.

He's a nice professor and the class isn't too difficult. I would go to class everyday or make friends with somebody who does because the slides themselves are just pictures. Definitely a note-taking requirement. The sections are mandatory and you take quizzes for a grade almost every section. 1 midterm and 1 final MCQ, and 1 group project.

Prof. is funny and enthusiastic but sometimes rambles. Lecture attendance is not required although you will be quizzed on the lecture material and participation in section. One essay and one group project. Final and midterm were not difficult but I would recommend paying at least some attention to the readings and lecture. Overall good class/GE.
