Lectures are dense, but with the free textbook and engaging study sessions, you can grasp the concepts. Using ChatGPT and unstuckstudy for practice questions really helped me prepare. Exams are challenging, but the curve makes it manageable. Overall, a worthwhile class.

nice guy but you watch his lecture videos and gives the most bare minimum explanation for every concept that he teaches. his online videos were extremely hard to follow and requires 3x the amount of time and effort to understand what he is trying to say. on top of his convoluted teaching, exams were extremely vague and ambiguous.

I can tell he is very knowledgable, but he really isn't made for teaching online. You know its bad when he holds a whiteboard up to his camera. His tests questions felt very vague and open ended. He was available for office hours but it took him forever when answering questions. Sections depend on the TA but don't miss that unique info in them.

Dr. Thrower is a good professor and always tries to help everyone in the class. The lectures are very long and dense. The course is graded on problem sets, midterms and a final. It was a bit difficult to understand the material at times, not sure if it was the way the professor taught it, or whether it was just the material itself.

Long and dense lectures. 90% of grade is 2 midterms and final so make to do well on each one otherwise its hard to recover grade. He curves exams but everyone did so well that it basically meant nothing. Exams are open notes but questions require you to apply your knowledge so simply memorizing won't help. Nice professor but exams are unforgiving.

Lectures are long and detailed but useful. Doing the reader problems and going through the old exams that he provides is the best way to understand the course concepts. If you keep up with lectures and do the practice problems, you'll do well in the class. Exams are hard but the curve is helpful.
