Ross is such an amazing professor! He is super passionate about the subject that he is teaching, and it shows in his lectures. The class seems like a lot of work at first, but it's honestly worth it if you're looking for a fairly chill class. His lectures are engaging and he tries really hard to make boring topics interesting. There are pre-lecture required readings and short pre-lecture quizzes that go along with the readings. Exams are long and can be kind of difficult, but if you put in the work beforehand they're completely doable. He gives a lot of partial credit on the exams. There are problem sets as well that are a bit hard since he doesn't really go over a ton of the math during the lectures, but they're not too bad since you get a week to complete them.

Ross was one of the best teachers that I had during my first year at Maryland! He genuinely seems to love his job and always comes to class in good spirits, which is hard to do on Zoom. From a grading perspective he's very accommodating if you have any emergencies or other things impacting your schoolwork. The only thing that could have made this class better was if it was in person, as I assume it would have been even more fun. The class has no exams and is very interactive and discussion based, so you will learn a lot but also not be stressed out!

Ross was awesome, he did a great job of keeping class engaging when we all were getting Zoom fatigue. He takes a lot of student feedback when it comes to how the class is going — the final exam format was completely based on what we wanted!
