Labutin just reads off of lecture slides so I stopped attending class. All tests were online and made the class much easier. Although he's a terrible prof, the class was super easy.
Lectures weren't mandatory, there were no midterms or a final, the class was only graded by weekly homework and five online/asynchronous tests, and the lowest score is dropped. Labutin is the goat.
His lectures are very theoretical and quite confusing. However, there are 5 online midterms and no final, and the homework is all webwork, so it's easy to get an A. The TA ended up being really helpful and all the section worksheets were just like the midterms. The only reason I understood the content is because I took linear algebra in hs.
Easiest class ever I didn't even try
5 online tests and homework which wasn't bad. However Prof was a terrible lecturer and you basically have to self-study using youtube, CLAS, or hope for a good TA.
Just 5 online tests, and homeworks which are not that bad. But the class is poorly taught, mainly depends on the student to self study with youtube, CLAS, finding the textbook online, or hope they have a good TA.
Class was very easy, 5 online, at home tests instead of a midterm/final. Not good at lecturing, talks too much about theory and not enough about how to actually solve problems, but my TA understood that and was how I did all of my learning for this class.
Professor Labutin's lectures make no sense. Going to lecture just made me more confused. There are no midterms or final, just quizzes every other week that are take home, open note. Having a good TA and attending CLAS made the class manageable.
Labutin's lectures are usually confusing and hard to keep up with. That being said, this class is a free A, all tests are online and at-home, open note.
Professor Labutin was a challenge, in that -though he seems to be a very caring and available teacher- he did very little explanation in his lectures. It was hard to follow what was being talked about, and more times than not I ended up having to teach myself. If you have him, make use of TAs, videos on youtube, and study groups for understanding.
Prof. Labutin is nearly unintelligible in lectures and very disorganized. In a lecture of about 500 students, eventually less than 100 showed up. Despite this, the exams were super easy and the class average was in the high 90s. Homework is tedious but manageable.
I didn't go to any of the lectures this quarter but the online quizzes were easy. The professor was almost impossible to understand so you have to self-learn to do the homework but the grading is super easy so it's a trade off. I would do the homework little by little throughout the week because it gets a lot to wait until Saturday.
