Even if you score well above the median you are still not garunteed an A. I think only 19 percnet of people in the class got an A or an A +.

Professor Wink is pretty decent. however, he doesn't follow a textbook so it's kind of confusing/hard to study for tests and homeworks aren't super similar to the tests. he provides practice midterms that are pretty good and similar to tests. tests are not hard but not super easy.

Test were difficult compared to the homework provided. The final was worth most of my grade.

I liked his lectures, he writes out and solves problems with you. Attendance was optional for lecture and section. I would be weary of taking if you don't know any calc because it does kinda just throw you in the deep end. Section with my TA was pointless (going over HW questions) but some gave worksheets.

Exam scores determine everything. Informative on the subject, but his lecture notes were pretty confusing. The final is worth half your grade so the main focus should be on that. Also, sections weren't great.

pretty solid prof and explained concepts well during lectures, cares about his students and encourages participation during class. make use of office hours! sections kinda suck. however, the final is worth 50% of your grade and pretty much determines your final grade so prepare heavily for it, as it was harder than the midterms and practice final
