One of my favorite professors. He is fun and he explain all the concept extremely clear and easy to understand. He answer questions after every new concept or topics which is really helpful. If he has other courses I would definitely love to take! As for the course itself, paying attention in lecture and practicing the past exams is enough.Rate My Professors ↗
One of the better professors I've had at UW for sure! Pretty good as a lecturer, responded to queries and was overall a great person. Made class really interactive and easy to pay attention in.Rate My Professors ↗
Amazing prof, I can go into lecture and come out understanding without needed supplementary material. He makes sure to clear confusion after every example and theorem. He's also pretty funny making jokes in lec. Truly one of the best profs I've had at UW.Rate My Professors ↗
