If you miss class, there are videos with all of the day's content on Canvas, and if you do go, Crabb will be pretty clear about the questions you'll see on the exams.",

    "comment": "Nothing bad to say about Richard. He's super chill and really funny during lecture. He gives you tons of practice problems and I would suggest relying on those more to study than the old exams he provides since they're usually outdated. Nothing too shocking on his exams. Again, just do his practice problems. ",

On top of running a class of over 500 people, he responded and wrote my request for a LOR in 24 hours. ",

When it came to preparing for exams there were previous midterms and finals, but these are super outdated (2019) and did not correlate well with the actual exams. ",
