do not take this professor course. He will say something beautifully. However, it is hard for you to pass the course.

hard to get pass in his course

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His grading doesn't make much sense, he did weekly sequential quizzes AND a midterm which seems kind of redundant to me, and he had a requirement that though the assignments had no weight, if you got less than 60 on 4 or more of them, you automatically failed the course. I think this put a lot of pressure on us to do well, but the content was easy.

I wish that assignment marks were included in the final grade but sadly they weren't. The course itself isn't very hard but his exams seemed too long to finish in the allotted time this is what brought my grade the most.

Absolutely amazing prof. Lectures were amazing and during the transition to online courses due to coronavirus he gave audio lectures and was very responsive to any questions and gave feedback emails about common pitfalls throughout the online course. Would love to take another course from him.

Never ever take him. Exams are nothing like practices.

He's gives alright lectures and slides but his tests can be tricky. The average on the first midterm was a 5/20 but the test was all multiple choice and most people didn't get through the whole test without guessing on a good chunk of the questions. Other than his exams, nothing about his teaching was special or stood out.

Pretty relaxed prof, teaches clearly and comes across as pretty approachable (i.e. not at all condescending). Notes/slides are comprehensive and assignment/test questions are straightforward. Quizzes are worth a large chunk of the grade but very easy and generous with partial marks. All around cool prof
