MATH/STAT 431
Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Took this course in the Fall 2019. Easily got 100 for all exams. It's true that the professor wasn't fully devoted to the course, but I don't understand why so many people complain about the difficulty.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Lectures are irrelevant to assignments, which are in turn irrelevant to exams. Ridiculous.

MATH 234
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
This is for Math 376. Shaoming appears to be an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor, but he cares little about his students. He comes to the lecture barely prepared and makes the simplest proof verbose and confusing. He rarely replies to emails. No exam review problems. Brutal class.
