Collegetook his 104A earlier so take this 104B again. getting a good grade is not easy when your TA is tough, but prof himself is not bad. hw is reasonable. if u skip his class, dont skip the review session. the grading policy is so nice. the "drop the lower mid score" literally saves my life. //will write another comment when i finish his 104c.
This professor is extremely straight-forward. The homework for his 104B class wasn't so bad either, especially if you work with your peers. His exams are awesome. He has a review lecture and goes over ALL possible questions he could ask you in the exam and goes over how to do them in detail. It seems pretty counter-intuitive, but I learned a lot.
You get a good grade if you work hard on this course.
Easy Midterm One and Difficult Midterm Two, but you will pass this course smoothly if you work hard on reviewing the lecture notes and two midterms before the final exam.
Lectures were a bit all over the place, I did a lot of self-studying. The course was almost entirely graded by just a midterm (there were 2 and the lower score was dropped) and the final, and some homework points. One midterm was really easy and one was really hard for some reason (didn't matter). Final was reasonable, and cutoff for an A was 92.
Makes almost no sense during lecture - I taught myself a majority of the material. TA's are super helpful, as they teach you patterns to recognize for exams. The exams themselves are worth 30 and 50% of your grade, so each question is either worth 1 or 2.5 percent of your overall grade. Though, the exams were pretty easy compared to the homework.
