Professor Richard, who looks slightly vicious, is a lovely person who is highly knowledgeable in optimization, linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory. You may sometimes see him telling jokes with no expression during the lecture, and he is very patient with every student when you ask questions during office hours, class breaks, and class. However, I admit that some course concepts are hard to comprehend at first glance. Still, after reviewing the in-class material and combining it with the external video associated with that particular concept, the difficulty of the homework should be acceptable. As for the midterm and final, he will provide some review material and the review section. If you follow the pattern of the review materials, combined with some additional practice in linear algebra, both exams are good to go. Furthermore, for the final project, I recommend consolidating the topic and working on the solution as soon as possible; it may take longer than you expected. Professor Richard has the best mathematic expertise I have ever encountered at the University of Maryland. Eventually, he will automatically and dynamically adjust the grade scope according to the entire class's performance, so do not worry too much. As the final reminder, he will review the concept of linear algebra in optimization during the first several lectures; if you are not familiar with the relative concept, please try to catch it, which will make the rest of the lecture manageable. |

He had to handle a difficult topic for a class which was honestly not smart (including me). He tried his best, but it wasnt easy because of the online lectures. Class averages were pretty low throughout, but he curved generously in the end. |
