He NEVER answers his emails. I have emailed him several times this quarter and he never emailed me back. It's so aggravating because sometimes I really needed him to answer and he never did. Also, I had a 79.87% in the class and he did not bump it up to a B-.

This class would be easier with a section to review material in, as no review material is given prior to finals week aside from lists of recommended textbook questions. That being said, recommended textbook questions accurately reflect exams, and lectures are informative, concise, and engaging. Unfortunately, Bernt does not reply to emails.

Bernt is nice and knowledgeable about the material, but he never replies to emails and stopped sending weekly announcements 2 weeks into the quarter. He doesn't have review exams posted, so I recommend doing book problems and doing Sylvester's review exams to get practice with questions in that format.

the actual class is pretty easy if you put in the work, but he makes the final RIDICULOUSLY hard for no reason, then gives little to no curve.

I'm one of the few people who have actually seen him as I went to his office hours. Super nice guy who is very helpful and even gives you a snack for coming. Labs are whatever, unless you watch the videos you will be lost. Grading basically depends on how much of a tweaker your TA is. Go to a TA's office ours to discuss the lab and get answers.

hate this class....so much work for what? measly 2 credits....also the quizzes are excessive: 5 question quiz every week...get one wrong ur down 10 pts already...whats the point?
