MATH 376
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Lectures sometimes felt a little disorganized, but he was really helpful during office hour. Pretty cool prof. Exams also tend to be fairly similar to the practice exams he releases.

MATH 376
Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
He knows the content well but lectures were very disorganized at times. I learned the most from the discussion sections and outside sources. I recommend reading the textbook. Final exam was insanely difficult compared to the two midterms before it and it almost always felt like it was trying to trick you.
