20/30/50 hw/mt/final grade distribution. Clear lectures but a little dry/boring. Section is super useful so don't skip. Moderate amount of homework but not too bad. Midterm was easy and both mt and final were flat curved by 5%. Easier than other math 8 profs so I would try to go for this one.
50% final, 30% midterm and the homework was up to 90 questions a week. However, he teaches pretty much directly from the textbook, the midterm was easier than the textbook problems he assigned, and I'm pretty sure the final was curved. He lays all of the information out very clearly, but he's a dry lecturer, so go to section and you should be fine.
