Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
The professor seems like a good person but not a good lecturer. He tries to explain the stuff, but it doesn't translate well to the students. Not a very tough course if you have little bit of math background

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
He reads almost exclusively from slides and spends the first 20 minutes recapping last lecture. He ends class 15-25 minutes early and so you only spend 30-40 minutes of the dedicated 75 going over actual new material. It was incredibly frustrating as someone who is actually interested and wanted to learn the material. Easy to tell he is a new prof.
