Very funny professor and made his lectures engaging (through the content, not necessarily asking students questions etc). The final exam was easy, but judging overall on all past exams, he tends to give slightly harder exams than other professors. Would recommend!
Dudes unintentionally hilarious lmao
I never had this Professor luckily, but when I was reviewing midterm and final exam questions from previous years, his exams were disgusting. I recommend taking 10a with any other professor.
Tough class, but having this professor helps. Exams were very fair, and similar to previous exams. Highly recommend taking him.
class isnt really useful, make sure you do old exams and you'll be fine
Wrote a ridiculously hard final. Got 80% and 100% on the midterms so I was okay, but seemed like the FRQ questions on our final were harder than almost any of the previous tests available for practice. Make sure to do well on midterm 1, everything after that is much harder.
