    This guy was literally the GOAT. Super fun guy, always tried to make jokes, even had a little class pet. He gave us extra credit when we caught his little mistakes during lecture, and his practice tests were nearly identical to the real test. If you have the choice, TAKE HIS CLASS. Great guy, super understanding, literally love him.

    Truly one of the better professors I've had here. His lectures are clear and communicate the material to students in a way they can understand. Super caring and you can tell he genuinely wants his students to succeed.

    For his first quarter as a professor, he did absolutely amazing! He teaches at a fast pace, but still manages to explain concepts and examples very well. Exams are in the same exact format as practice exams, so it's easy to prepare well. Would highly recommend for everyone!

    Very kind professor and the mid-terms and final were very easy as long as you do the practice exams. Homework was pretty minimal and easy to manage; would definitely recommend!

    Very nice guy, lectures were theory-heavy but interesting and concise. Practice exams emulated the actual exams closely and TAs were very passionate and nice. Attendance is mandatory for sections
