    I love Professor Tung, his lectures are amazing

    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Prof Tung is so articulate, he’s so well-spoken and a really great lecturer. Beware though that there are 3 midterms and they can be challenging, however he seems to scale the grade at the end so there’s leeway to get an A. Every chapter you’re assigned textbook pages, read them! Same with discussion worksheet and homework, they really help with test questions.
