Key questions
Is this an easy A?
High grades are realistic because exams are often similar to practice and extra credit or score replacement can rescue grades.
Online reviews describe the clearest easy-A path, while in-person reviews are easy in Math 1A and 1B but harder in Math 1C.
Is the course easy?
The course content is still calculus-heavy and can be fast or tricky even when exams are predictable.
Online 1D sounds easier and more guided, while in-person Math 1C is much more challenging.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is optional in some sections but mandatory or participation-linked in others.
Online reviews show no mandatory attendance, while in-person attendance varies by section.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend him for fair exams and grade support, but several warn that confusing lectures require self-study.
Online reviews are consistently positive, while in-person reviews are positive overall but polarized in Math 1C.
