Homework is simple but quizzes and exams are brutal (nothing like the lecture). Can't see your grade all semester and they don't let you see the average grades either.

Usually are given something that you've never seen in class, which is just not how you should be graded. I saw the bad reviews on this teacher and decided to take the risk and hope for the best.
