Do yourself a favor and don't take his class. Only midterm and final are the grades and study guides aren't doing much for you. Also the section material is on the test, and they say "they cannot share the slides" to students outside of the sections.

Class is only graded on the midterm and final. Study guides were not helpful.

Great professor and engaging/hilarious lectures. Told us the exams would be dense so I started studying early for both and ended with an A+, definitely doable but it does take effort. Exams were a bit tricky but nothing insane. Def do all readings and take detailed notes

Excellent course and professor. Students were shocked by exam difficulty based on midterm, but scores improved greatly for final. STUDY WITH A PARTNER! Book so/so... you need it for the required additional readings but not for reading alongside lectures. Very engaging class and lectures went by super quickly. Odd final grade policy. Very friendly.

I don't suggest this class if you have the choice for another upper div. Grade is only midterm & final. Tests are extremely tricky and will have 2 correct answers but you have to pick the “best”. If you do have to take this class u rly just need to study for the test like a week in advance, cramming won't work. if u fail midterm 1, ur sadly cooked

This class is so interesting, but please keep in mind that your grade is solely determined by midterm and final. I personally would not take it if I could go back. I did all the readings and studied hard will still get a mediocre grade. It's not worth it. Tests are also hard.
