Goat. Explains concepts very well and is very lenient on homework deadlines, quizzes were lowkey annoying, but the lowest 2 get dropped. Midterm and final were really easy. Easy class as long as you stay up to date. Only con is his accent, which you get used to after a couple of lectures.

Only cons r bit of an accent and sometimes he's off track but thats kinda cute in a way. Went to all his lectures and never looked at his notes (which r supposedly pretty good) and finished with an A. 5 quizzes 2 get dropped and a final and a midterm that were easy. Would def take him again.

Jitendra's class has a clear grading criteria. His lectures and notes are also fairly decent. However, in my class we didn't cover Laplace transforms. It is unclear how well he has prepared me at this point. Overall, he's a fair balance between rigor, content, and accessibility. A fairly decent professor overall.

I honestly slacked off when I took 4B and ended up with a 71.9%, and I begged for a roundup to 72 to meet my prereq, to which he said no. The material is easy, but sometimes the quiz material caught me off guard. Take it, but please lock in (since I didn't) and keep in mind that he won't round up for you.

Has a heavy accent which can be difficult to understand at times. Can be disorganized during lectures. Lectures are ok but sometimes go over things that aren't very relevant to the course. Quizzes in section were difficult but midterm and final were easy. As long as you study a lot on your own you'll be fine.
