Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but students repeatedly say strict grading, frequent quizzes, and exact formatting rules make the A costly.
Online evidence is much harsher, while in-person evidence is split between older easy-grade praise and newer strict-grading warnings.
Is the course easy?
The math content is often called easy or manageable, but unclear teaching and strict grading make the experience feel harder.
Online reviews say easy material becomes frustrating, while in-person reviews range from beginner-friendly to very difficult.
Is attendance flexible?
Many reviews state attendance is mandatory, participation matters, or skipping class makes passing difficult.
Online reviews consistently mark attendance as mandatory, and many in-person reviews also tie attendance to quizzes and grades.
Is this professor recommended?

Online recommendation is strongly negative, while in-person recommendation is mixed because older reviews are much more positive.
