    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: B

    The professor was very disorganized and explained the lecture slides poorly. By week 3, more than half of the class stopped showing to lecture. The homework is not hard and he drops two lowest homework grades. The midterm and final difficulty was fair.

    This class has the same grading scheme as any other PIC class. I would not recommend this professor - while he had helpful lecture materials, the way he lectured made it hard to listen to him as he sounds perpetually angry and out of breath. I've heard this class was pretty easy from other professors but I really struggled on the homeworks. Additionally, he did not provide any practice exams or review materials.
