Reviews
He wasn't posting notes online for the first half of the class since he strongly encourages attendance. Lectures were confusing, and it felt like he was making some parts of it up as he went along. It was an insightful course nonetheless, it was just unfortunate that we would get bogged down by simple things like keeping consistent with our variables.
He's nice and easy to talk to, and his grading scheme isn't anything to be afraid of.
