Everyone is being so dramatic. Some lectures were boring (its OTM) but Prof Batt truly tried his best to make it engaging as he can in class by providing simulations/demonstrations & guest speakers. He's clearly passionate and is avail for help. Midterm was difficult, but final was easier (you get a full cheat sheet). An A is doable with hardwork.

He'll go to the extent to "record" the lectures to be "nice", but he'll only record his voice and not any of the calculations so that the recordings are of absolutely no use. He also makes attendance mandatory. I'm sure he's competent, but he is the opposite of a nice person.

It was his first semester teaching this course, so it was very disorganized. I learned nothing in lecture and found it a waste of my time. The first exam was extremely difficult, but I think he realized his mistake and made our final exactly like the homework. Overall, not a hard class- just feels like a waste of time.

Prof. Batt is an exciting, intellectually curious, and motivated professor. The only thing to be aware of is that exams do not match prior work.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. All his classes weren't fun to stay in, an hour was an eternity and his class weren't like the exams. His lectures were all over, didn't help with problems that were 3 mins. I never wanted to go to class but he made attendance mandatory even though he records lectures.

Looked forward to this class every week. He was always engaging and made lectures fun. This guy is awesome.
