Instead of teaching us the content, he assigns YouTube videos for us to watch which are insanely complicated and difficult to understand. He assigns a ton of homework every week, doesn't release adequate practice material, doesn't tell you the grade boundaries, and administers four total exams.",

    "comment": "I was in the other section, but it seems like he is in charge of the tests. As an undergraduate this 3 credit course felt like a poorly organized 5 credit course. I came expecting to take notes in lecture, rather we watch youtube videos and try to figure out the homework and activities. The tests are incredibly hard and the proofs are insane.  ",
