Grade is exam heavy (worth 70% of overall grade) but Porter does a great job of providing work that accurately reflects exam difficulty and prepares you. Grading system is very generous and incredibly helpful. Lectures do a good job demonstrating concepts. I felt well prepared for exams and would 100% take this professor again.

MY KINGGG I love porter, math 2B is much harder than math 2A but he recognizes that and really wants people to pass his class. I had him for 2A too, he's really funny and a cool guy in general. I will say he doesn't really curve at all (rounds up to next percentage) but it's not too hard to pass his classes since the practice tests are good

the only math professor ever. weekly problem sets make up most of your grade and exams are light work if you use the practice exam for reference (very, very easy a). you can bring 1 flashcard of notes into the 2 midterms, 2 flashcards for the final. section is mandatory but nothing serious, mostly for attendance. i love him and his dry humor

very chill. his tests are fair so if you put in the work you should be chilling

he is a king and even if he is a bit quiet he is very nice. he cares about having people get good grades. i wish people laughed at his jokes more in lecture

Professor Porter was very chill and a good professor overall. His tests are not especially difficult and he gives extra credit on each one. Just do the work and make sure to do the homework. Study groups are very helpful with this foundational class. Office hours are always your friend.
