The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is not easy because tests and quizzes carry the grade, and several students call the tests hard despite light homework.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews; there are no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
The content can feel manageable with preparation, but the fast pace and trig or algebra demands make it risky for beginners.
All course difficulty evidence comes from in-person math classes.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance does not appear strictly mandatory, but students need to attend because quizzes happen often and lectures drive understanding.
Only in-person reviews mention attendance-related issues, mainly quizzes and lecture dependence.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend him for clear teaching and humor, but weaker math students warn that the pace can be hard to follow.
The recommendation signal is entirely from in-person reviews.
