Russell really impressed me in epi with the exam. Even though he snaked us with the first question, the fact that we were able to justify why certain multiple choice questions had multiple answers at the front of our exam shows that he cares about students learning, not tripping them up on a multiple choice test with tricky wording (@DrDay).

I really enjoyed 2G03 with Dr. de Souza! His lectures are clear and he's accessible in office hours to explain harder concepts.

Lectures are all available online, so very few people go to class. Prof de Souza is an alright lecturer but talks a little fast. He mostly reads off slides. Lots of mistakes on his tests. Not that hard a class, but I wouldn't say its the best organized. Guest lecturers were atrocious. I wouldn't take this as an elective if I had the choice.

Dr. De Souza is approachable and knowledgeable. His lectures are mostly well-organized (except for when he brings in guests lecturers that are not so great) and clear. Yes, he has made quite a few mistakes on test-making, but he always acknowledged those and did not count those in the grading.

Russ is amazing!! He's so considerate about deadlines and his tests and exams are very doable if you pay attention during the year. Would def recommend taking this course, as long as he continues teaching it.
