CollegeLiterally just used another professor's lecture slides and notes.
Very heavy accent and does NOT care about his students. Just keep talking and talking and assume everyone knows what he talks about.
Makes almost no sense during lecture - I taught myself a majority of the material. TA's are super helpful, as they teach you patterns to recognize for exams. The exams themselves are worth 30 and 50% of your grade, so each question is either worth 1 or 2.5 percent of your overall grade. Though, the exams were pretty easy compared to the homework.
Two midterms, the lowest one is dropped. Weekly homework, the lowest one is dropped. All the exams weren't too difficult, but his handwriting during the lecture was not great.
Very easy all mcq midterms and final. lowest midterm dropped. hw due weekly online. TA resources were extremely helpful and I never went to lectures. Not the best teacher with confusing lectures so I didn't bother going.
Pretty bad lecturer and the slides he has posted are from previous years and don't always match up with what he covered in class. There are two midterms, lowest is dropped. Lowest homework is dropped. Midterms and the final were really easy though. Easy class but poor prof IMO.
