The final is worth 35 percent of your grade and is based on the last chapters that are taught 2 weeks before. The final makes your grade not safe at all, I went from and B to not passing the class simply bc of the final. He is nice but if you want to risk your whole grade then don't. I get he is better rated but I would take someone else.

Great professor; his lectures are super engaging and you take notes on premade worksheets for the class, which was really helpful. He also really cares about all of his students and wants you to succeed, but he also makes it very clear that in order to succeed in his class you have to work hard for it, which is fair. Just do the hw and you'll pass.

 Difficult class but the professor is a GOAT. Worth taking no matter what grade you get. You will earn a lot.

Literally the goat of all teachers.
All the bad reviews are from students who didn't do the homework and expected to understand the material. He should be your number one option because he keeps the class interesting and you leave every class understanding the material. Also has office hours everyday and will help you with ANYTHING!

he was good until he falls behind on lectures and just speeds through everything. Tons of homework and derivations that he says that you won't be tested on but overall still one of the best professors to take at LPC.
