Genuinely one the of the best profs! So funny and lectures were NEVER boring. He always made the time to talk after class. 4 Problem Set packets, math was difficult. Easy 8-min group presentation in section. Entire grade based on 2, 70-100 questions exams w/ EXTREMELY SPECIFIC questions. Such an amazing & caring man, but exams were lowkey a joke.
Four problem sets, one presentation, two midterms. Problem sets are relaxed, but grades really depend on TAs. Mine was chill and helped me with questions I was stuck on. The first test was 100 questions, the second 74. No study guide or cheat sheet. Review sessions were not great. Ended the class with a 98% after studying slides for hours.
Loved lectures but your grade is basically two exams that are worth 200 points and are 100 questions long so if you aren't a good test taker like myself you are screwed. Attendance isn't mandatory but you kinda of need to go to lecture to pass so go to lecture.
great online class. tests were very easy. weekly assignment was easy. you don't need to watch lectures, but he gave great lectures that were recorded so you could watch them on your own time. section was weekly zoom but didn't take attendance.
Open book/note which made things easy. All you have to do is watch the lecture videos and do the associated problem sets (there were only four but you get three attempts at them). Two midterms, no final. There's also a pre-recorded presentation assignment.
I LOVEEEEEED this class. literally so easy and so fun. prof's lectures were very engaging and easy to understand. TAs made reviewing for the final super easy bc of the final exam review slides they sent out. only thing that was slightly challenging was problem sets but TAs were available to help you understand. 100% would take this class again!
