Reading the textbook is easier than understanding his lectures. Midterms were not difficult but final was ridiculously difficult. Told us it had the same format as midterms but did not. ",

Exams were not too difficult. I barely spend anytime on this class and was able to get an AB. HWs were very difficult and I would recommend spend a lot of time studying.",

He is very encouraging of asking questions in class, and responds to all of them in great detail, no matter how basic.
