    I loved taking this class with Bennoun. LS30 wasn't always my strong suit, but Bennoun made his lectures and the material more simple to understand than other professors, and he really put time and effort into making the slides so that they were easier for his students to understand. Overall, if you are taking the LS30 math series, I would recommend Bennoun. He was also very helpful since the capstone group project was based on the things we learned in class and in coding labs. Going to his lectures were beneficial for learning and understanding the material, and were beneficial for completing the homework and coding labs on time.

    I liked the slides, they were helpful and the way benoun lectured was engaging and easy. The book doesn't help, so personally I don't suggest using it. The practice exams provided were the best practice.

    Bennoun is a great teacher and leaves students prepared, attend practice problem solving sessions and review the homework

    I found reading the textbook as I did the homework helpful. Bennoun was really nice and good at explaining. The practice finals and midterms they give you are really helpful! Make sure to do those.
