    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    He teaches what you need to know, although he tends to go more theoretical instead of showing examples. There are 3 extra credit assignments that are just coding what he teaches in class, which he does provide some code on.

    Palmer was a very good professor who cared about his students. While the lectures were sometimes a little difficult to follow, the workload of the class was not bad at all and the homework directly correlated with the material on the exams, which made studying for them very stress free. Lecture attendance was not mandatory so I stopped attending after the second week since the textbook also directly correlated with the material on the homework and exams. Extra credit was also offered through three "computational" assignments which required you to construct simple visuals and graphs about the material taught. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking 33B with Palmer.

    Fantastic class, not much work to be done, offers cheat sheets on exams. Could not recommend more
