CollegeRushes 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.
Just live in his OH's and everything will be alright.
Homework is extremely hard. Doesnt use textbook for reference. He has his own system to teach the class. Class materials are almost irrelevant to homework.
I don't think the accent is a problem. His handwritings are sometimes messy, but you can ask him to clarify. His homework is harder than other math 8 classes. We don't have final in final week, but we have 3 exams and the last one is during the dead week. It really helps to release your pressure and all the things tested are very fair.
Put this man on UCSB hall of fame.. Gives 3 midterms and no FINAL. Dennis provides practice midterm thats very similar to the actual test. midterm #2 is take home so you better skirt skirt and Chegg that woe!! seriously did not learn anything after week 3 and still going to pass this woe with an A!!! take him for math8. S/o to Dennis the GOAT xDDD
Labutin is fine, neither excellent nor bad at teaching. His class is not very hard. And he has accent but is not hard to understand. Some said he grades easy, but this is not the case for 118(seems he doesn't curve), e.g. 91.5 is A-.
