If you take CLAS for this class it is an easy A. Midterms and final are exactly like practice exam and HW is worth 40% of grade. I super recommend taking him!
Didn't explain things well. Very unwelcoming office hours. I think he is only here for research.
The lectures were just him reading off the slides and his English isn't the best. The practice exams are very similar to the actual exams. If you want an easy A take him. If you want to actually learn the material, don't take him.
Bad at lecturing and explaining concepts. Gives very nice curves though.
Very proof heavy lectures but exams were quite easy and very straightforward.
Cannot lecture on material at all, dont even bother going to classes, his practice midterms are very similar to the actual ones and the homework is 40% of the grade so its super easy to get an A, but expect to learn all the material by yourself
