CollegeTook this over summer with pre recorded lecture vids and in person exams. Accessible in OH but it was mostly managed by the TAs. Sections were pretty useless for anything but knowing a couple exam qs. He's a sweet guy but I def would not have been able to get an A- if I took this during the year because it's rlly lecture heavy. P good curve though
This was an async class where you could go the whole course without actually talking to Thrower. He would explain things in OH but the main interaction was his TAs. His tests were horrendous and it's a test heavy class. Very in depth multiple choice that made it look like you hadn't even studied. Truly tough, I don't know how people succeeded.
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.
Nice guy but not very good at explaining things. Goes into a lot of depth and random tangents. Would be a lot better with less yapping and more focus on the important stuff. Also doesn't point at what he's talking about in the slides and slides are loaded with information so have fun pausing all his videos to figure out what he's talking about.
He is for sure in the retirement mindset. The class was a mess. There were regrades on all quizzes and tests, all of our lectures were over 2 years old and thus did not align with our homework, and on weeks where we had midterms he would "give us a break" from lecture but assigned twice as many the following week.
Professor is probably on retirement mode and you can tell. Isn't even at SB just has lectures made probably during COVID and still uses them instead of actually teaching. Videos are also really hard to go through, constantly smacking his lips and pausing so flow of info is always scattered. Not a bad class or person at all, just mildly irritating.
