Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Amazing professor if you can take him, he's very accessible outside of class and very understanding if things come up. The class was well structured and he often gives options for extra credit or makeups.

His notes were very clear and the explanation was brilliant! Explain complicated concepts in a simple way that you can understand. 6 home works and a final project and 3 exams

Nice guy, difficult class. He allowed for test corrections on both exams, as both averages were in the 60s. Also had extra credit questions on the exams. If you don't like MATLAB, don't take this class with Flannery.
