Labutin is a great professor but the grading scheme was lackluster with no curve. This is a hard class but not impossible, and if you do the homework and the reading, you should be well equipped for exams. 3 exams, open note inlcuding take home final. It's a hard class but a very awesome, interesting, and mindbending one, so don't get discouraged.

Rushes through topics and homework is SO LONG. Assigns one very long written homework and one webwork assignment every week. webwork is limited to 3 tries instead of unlimited tries like usual. 2 midterms. However the final was online and the course ended in week 9 which was nice so you can focus on other finals.

hard class and fast lectures but he teaches it very well. homework takes a while, though exams are open textbook.

Labutin just reads off of lecture slides so I stopped attending class. All tests were online and made the class much easier. Although he's a terrible prof, the class was super easy.

Lectures weren't mandatory, there were no midterms or a final, the class was only graded by weekly homework and five online/asynchronous tests, and the lowest score is dropped. Labutin is the goat.

His lectures are very theoretical and quite confusing. However, there are 5 online midterms and no final, and the homework is all webwork, so it's easy to get an A. The TA ended up being really helpful and all the section worksheets were just like the midterms. The only reason I understood the content is because I took linear algebra in hs.
