The class materials were very well presented even though there was no textbook. Office hours were very helpful in understanding the class content as well as the homework assignments. This was a very challenging class but the material was very interesting.

Kamei is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He is incredibly knowledgeable, well spoken, and personable, however, taking this class is a beast of its own. The class is incredibly conceptual and you absolutely MUST go to class. Falling behind is easy with the pace Kamei goes at and you have to spend a good amount of time learning the material outside of class. Discussion is "mandatory", but you should go. There are two midterms and a final, Midterms had a class average of around 50.

A couple key to success in this class:
- Go to Office Hours. I've never been but I've heard he is incredibly helpful in understanding the difficult material of this course.
- Do the problem sets early. Another mistake I made was not doing the problem sets right after I got them when the material was still fresh. Don't do what I did and leave them till the last day.
- Print out the lecture slides or get a tablet. He posts all the lecture slides early and he has slides blank where he does an explanation on the board.
- Do ALL the problems he gives you for test prep. I cannot stress how helpful this was when I was studying for the exams. He provides in-depth solutions for all the problems, and these problems were incredibly similar to the exam problems. Do your best to solve the problems and understand the solutiosn and you will succeed in this class!

Good luck to all who must take this class!
