Lectures were all over the place sometime but it forced you too really pay attention or fall behind.
why can't the TAs do their jobs and scan the exams rather than forcing us to do it DURING THE EXAM TIME
Honestly just wait to take this in the spring quarter, with any other professor. Trust me, its the better option.
The lectures were aimless, with it being a lot more difficult to follow than it needed to be and never clearly stated what certain principles are and how they should be followed. There is NO reason to make the tests this aggressively, much of a time crunch, and never made it clear what the curve would be (the curve itself wasn't too great either).
Was there even a curve?
