You don't really have to come to lectures but it would help, since he doesn't write very clearly or make powerpoints for his notes. Grading is lenient and workload is reasonable. ",

Content is extremely useful and applicable outside of class, and it is a very easy A as long as you check your work with a mentally competent partner. Exams were not proctored and 24 hours to take.",
