Reviews of professor Sandi Xhumari

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
YOU WILL BE OVERWHELMED BY THE SYLLABUS, BUT DON'T QUIT. It's a strange setup, but you get used to it after the first few weeks. The main thing you gotta worry about are the challenges, but they're not impossible if you actually pay attention to the hw. Definitely make a class group chat and go to office hours. The workload is pretty heavy.

Just don't take his class unless you want to through away money and don't care about your grade. It is overly complicated by his system in place. You will not see him teach any lessons, just youtube videos of other professors that barely covers the material on test. Be prepared to spend 5-8 hours a day trying to figure out his system and material.

A huge work load for this class that will be unrelated to what the test questions will cover, so you will work a lot and hard to comply with all his assignments and to understand the material, but you will still fail because the test questions you have not ever practiced before.

The class is asynchronous but there are required group meetings and weekly "challenges".
What is covered in Homework and example is vastly different than the so called challenges.
The challenges have a multiple attempts but the topics each attempt are completely different and get significantly harder the more you fail. Take if you have urself.

Sandi is a very nice person but his way of managing the math class is awful. Lots of work for the class. He uses class time to do his challenges (tests) not to explain concepts, every week you have to take the challenges  because even though you have 4 attempts, the tests are so difficult that is your only chance to maybe pass.

Very ineffective and unorthodox grading system. It wouldn't have been that bad if instruction was decent, but it was subpar. Had to rely on Wolfram Alpha the entire course to eke out an A-, if you do a min of 15 hours a  week study, you'll pass... you just won't like it. It's not actually hybrid, you only take tests in person, no instruction.

Terrible professor, terrible grading system.Tries to be unique with his grading system,but it just makes it more stressful for everyone.He says that he wants the class to be not based on exams, but then weights the final exam abnormally high.Only reason he's still a teacher is because he gives so much extra cred for evals.DONT TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM

His "unconventional" teaching methods did NOT help me learn at all. I've had instructors in higher-level math classes that I had to learn HIS material from, and I learned much better from THEM (not to mention that he used lecture videos from OTHER instructors instead of recording his own). Also, people shouldn't have to "decode" a SYLLABUS.
