The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn A-range grades through attendance, homework, extra credit, dropped scores, and partial credit, but hard exams keep it from being effortless.
Online evidence includes stronger self-study and homework warnings, while in-person evidence more often credits lectures, extra credit, and fair grading.
Is the course easy?
The content is often manageable with clear lectures and practice, but calculus sections can feel fast, abstract, and exam-heavy.
Online reviews more often mention independent learning, while in-person reviews more often depend on lecture clarity.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is mixed across reviews, with some classes marked mandatory and others optional but strongly recommended.
Both formats include mandatory and non-mandatory attendance reports, so the policy appears course-dependent.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend him because he cares, explains patiently, and gives grade support, though some warn against him for confusing calculus lectures.
In-person recommendations are more enthusiastic, while online recommendations are positive but more conditional on self-study.
