    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Lectures were optional and recorded, posted afterwards, and there was no textbook for the class - all material was covered in lecture itself, and every homework had examples showing a walkthrough for each problem. Compared to ls30 a/b this class seems like it could have been the first in the series, very straightforward - highly recommend!

    Grade: A+

    I liked that he made class engaging and fun rather than being serious all the time. I also liked that he gave many practice problems to help prepare us for the exams
