Professor Bai's lecture slides were all posted online, but you did have to memorize them all if you wanted a decent chance at getting a good grade on the exams. The weekly homework was all math based and the exams were more conceptual. He asked random questions from lecture about percents, facts, etc. Overall good guy and class for quant B.
