Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Challenging material towards the second half of the course. Great lectures, but threw a curve ball with the final exam which was 90% material we learned in the past week or two but he said it was cumulative (average was 60%).

Take too long to respond. There are hundreds of student in this course,but his office hour is only one hour and twice weekly. Slides lack of too many details and hard to understand. Lecture is dry and he explains idea unclearly. No cheat sheet allowed for a cumulative final. Slides are copied.

Theo is one of the best orators I have taken lectures from. His grading is fair, but by attending lectures and reading the slides he provides, you won't have trouble passing this class.
