Typos in the notes and he can be quiet and hard to understand. Test heavy, 20% 20% 40% on the 3 exams. Gave extra credit 2x in lecture for attending. Quizzes are easy. Use Khan.",

All of his exams were fair, and he provided review problems that were helpful and relevant to the exams. What could have been a really hard class was made enjoyable by his teaching. Can't recommend him more!",

All of his notes are typed and well organized, and he follows them perfectly in class. 80% of your grade is exams, but he is super clear on what will be covered. Homework is just for a completion grade and the solutions are posted ahead of time. He makes a hard class easy.",
