    Grade: A-

    Getting the right TA is important because the discussion points are a lot. Some TA is harsher on weekly homework’s than others.

    Both professors are good at lecturing. The TA will really determine your experience with the homework. My TA graded very harshly and everyone lost a lot points on the homework assignments, but some other TAs are very lenient. The exams are multiple-choice and honestly hard to prepare for because the wording can be confusing and the answer choices are intentionally tricky.

    Gorlitsky’s midterm was difficult and tricky but her lectures were interesting. Lipman’s slides were all over the place, could not tell what to study and her lectures were okay. Both midterms were tricky and difficult to study for.
