Lecture was literally the textbook which was nice because I barely read it. He goes extremely fast so make sure you can keep up with the speed. Exams mimicked the study guide he provides and were all multiple choice! The thing I disliked the most were the in class assignments which made me lose so many points but I never got any feedback from my TA. Be sure to make friends because the in-class work and semester long project is group work. The semester long project is a presentation and research paper right before the final, so it’s a lot. The class wasn't too bad just tedious.

TA's graded my assignments, so I have more of a bone to pick with them than the actual professor. Lectures fly by pretty fast because there is a lot thrown at you in one day, barely any time to do the in class assignment. LOTS of groupwork, which can be a good opportunity but in my experience I was heavily taken advantage of and could not believe the incompetence of some of the other people in this class. There are a few extra credit opportunities but they really didn't do much for me. Exams are closed book and taken in the classroom but he provides a study guide that was super helpful (I usually got a low A or B on them). Lectures mostly just consist of textbook material, honestly I barely ever opened the textbook at all...most answers to things I could find in my lecture notes.

Not the worst professor I've had, but also not the greatest. Super friendly, but lectures and assignments are very dense and he is kind of a picky grader about some things. Granted this is a research class so its dense to begin with, and the assignments and lectures are very organized, but I struggled with the information and projects the whole semester. You do work on a semester long research assignment with the same group that is randomly assigned. He is very accessible outside of class though!
