Fine, not amazing. Sped through lectures, topics were introduced once and the next time they showed up were on an exam. He was nice and responsive. Take advtg of EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM you have available before the tests (3 inc final). I'm a math person and the course was really hard. You need to study WAY more than you think you do!!!!Rate My Professors ↗
An great professor! Therere three exams during a semester, which take up 84% of the grade. Although it seems difficult, the programs in the tests are similar to the homework and he will give us review problems before midterms. And there are also a lot of practice exams in canvas, which is useful. If you do the practice, this will be an easy courseRate My Professors ↗
Exams are a large part of the grade (3 exams, 28% each), but exam content is straightforward and well-covered in lecture. Weekly quizzes. Professor Street talks and writes quickly, so it can be easy to get lost, but the lectures overall were very helpful. He closely follows the textbook, so textbook examples were useful while preparing for exams.Rate My Professors ↗
3 tests at 28% each make up majority of your grade, so luckily Brian does a great job of preparing you, giving problems and topic lists of almost everything exactly that will be on the exam. Focus on understanding every lecture problem example, rather than the tedious worksheet and homework problems, and do every practice test available, easy A.Rate My Professors ↗
He is one of the most egocentric and arrogant people on this planet. I was 1% off from passing this class and he gave no sympathy. He also makes fun of people for asking questions in the lectures and makes it a very unwelcoming learning environment.Rate My Professors ↗
Pretty good at explaining concepts, he just talks and writes very quickly so can be easy to get lost depending on the topic. 3 exams each worth 28% of grade, not too hard but need to put in some studying before each of you want an A and its easy to screw up your grade with exams. Somewhat condescending with questions in lecture, not too big a dealRate My Professors ↗
