his lectures are weird..like the problems he puts on the lecture slides and midterm practice are way harder than the actual midterms. i was always freaking out before exams because i would never be able to do most of the midterm practice problems. also he barely puts any points for each exam, so if you lose like 3 points you're already almost down a letter grade. i didn't really like his teaching style at all. he's not the worst professor by any means but there are definitely better professors out there for this class. |

His lectures were clear, and all of his examples were well defined. Overall, he was a good person, and seemed to really care about the success of his students, even in such a large class. On the days he couldn't physically make it to office hours, which was only once or twice I believe, he would set them up through Skype so people could still ask him questions as needed. We did have required homeworks, but for someone like me who won't do work unless it's graded (no matter how much I try to think otherwise) it's incredibly useful. We were not allowed to have a cheat sheet for the midterms, but this meant we were able to get a lot of partial credit for things like writing down formulas and showing our steps. For our final, we were allowed to use a cheat sheet, since he thought it would be unfair to test us on our rote memorization skills for things that we learned back in the beginnings of class. If you prefer a rigid class structure with useful lectures, and don't want to teach yourself out of the book, this is a great teacher to have. |
