Historical instructor
Original student reviews · all captured dates
You can hardly learn any thing from the lecture which is simply a combination of deriving of formulas and reading out contents from poorly organized slides, without any meaningful interaction with students. PS: a quote scary from syllabus: "failing to submit any one of the homework will fail the overall course".Rate My Professors ↗
Solid lecturer, BUT DO NOT ATTEND LECTURE! He records all of his lectures and goes way too fast in person to really take notes and understand what he is talking about. Skip lecture and watch the recording at your own pace. Somewhat difficult material, but he does a good job with examples and concepts and the homework helps too.Rate My Professors ↗
