There was no syllabus provided, the lecture sessions were made mandatory and so boring, there were pop quizzes, the homework assignments were graded harshly, and my TA didn't help with them. There were 2 take-home midterms, similar to HWS. I do not recommend this course at least don't take it with him!!

It really only follows the textbook, and the lectures can be replaced by the textbook. However, attendance is mandatory, and there are unannounced pop quizzes here and there. They are not hard, but do count towards grading. A lot of homework for practice and tests is similar to homework.

The labs in his class were quite time consuming and not very helpful for learning the content. His lectures were hard to follow and he missed a few classes and posted online videos from COVID for the last 2 weeks of lecture content. His tests were decently difficult and usually had 1 or 2 hard questions.

WORST course I've ever taken. Most class materials are used directly from other universities. The professor put minimal effort, didn't prepare enough for lectures, sometimes just gave pre-recorded videos from Pandemic. He and TAs are super inaccessible. Don't expect to get any help and feedback. Plus, NO electronic devices are allowed. What a joke.

This is the worst course I've ever taken. The prof kept canceling the lectures, and the course staff was extremely inaccessible (The prof and TAs ignored most of the questions on Slack). The labs are very hard and you get little help from the course staff because they don't care. Exams are hard and no study guides are given. This course is a joke.

I've never rated any professor before. However, this course was by far the worst I've taken. Missing multiple lectures. Assignments posted late. No grades released until after finals. 0 communication between course staff and students. Need help on the difficult labs? Good luck, you are on your own. Take at your own risk.

He was kind of boring. I mostly taught myself from the textbook. The exam blindsided me and was deceptively difficult.
