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.
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.
His lectures were pretty scattered and not super worth going to. He also writes out a bunch of problems and concepts but his handwriting is almost completely illegible. I had to teach myself almost all of it but the TAs had very useful resources.
He wasn't the worst that's for sure. In fact his lectures were good for the first half of the course. His lectures at the very end were kind of all over the place. His tests were pretty fair, but he constantly didn't follow the lecture slides and was unclear about certain expectations. It's a test heavy class, but doable.
Stopped going to lecture after week 2 because I couldn't understand a word he said. Has a thick accent, mumbles, and his handwriting is illegible. The only good thing about this class was the TAs and the slides they posted bc all the slides from the prof were entirely unhelpful. Tests were super easy but you won't actually learn anything.
