Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A is possible with consistency, extra credit, and strong exam preparation, but many students report very hard tests and heavy workload.
Online evidence is more grade-friendly with curves and extra points, while in-person evidence includes severe no-curve complaints.
Is the course easy?
The course content is demanding because students mention proofs, advanced concepts, strict expectations, and tough exams.
Both formats describe calculus as manageable with effort, but in-person comments show the strongest difficulty warnings.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews say attendance is not mandatory, but one online and one in-person review mark it mandatory.
Online and in-person evidence both vary, though most comments treat attendance as useful even when not required.
Is this professor recommended?
Recommended for motivated math students because he is caring and passionate, but not recommended for students seeking an easy class.
Online reviews are more consistently positive, while in-person reviews are highly polarized.

Assessment risk

Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews show tough exams and low averages, but do not clearly prove closed-book rules, proctoring, or allowed materials.
“Class average on the tests was 40% or below, and will not curve.”
“our midterm average was under 25% for exam 1 and 2, 25/30~ people in the class failed.”
Online reviews mention quizzes, tests similar to lecture notes, take-home quizzes, exams, and curves, but do not clearly prove webcam, proctoring, Lockdown Browser, or open-book exams.
“2 quizzes a week (1 in-class and 1 take-home quiz) and like 3 exams I don't remember.”
“He gives out a lot of extra points at the end and curves your grade by a lot.”

“Class average was under 30% and he still did not curve.”
“Otherwise be careful because the workload's enormous.”
