Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades appear possible, but students describe heavy workload, late feedback, and unclear assignments that make the A costly.
Most evidence is online, while the two in-person reviews also describe heavy work and poor teaching.
Is the course easy?
The difficulty comes less from clean intellectual challenge and more from disorganized materials, outdated labs, and unclear instructions.
Online reviews emphasize broken Canvas materials and late grading, while in-person reviews emphasize recycled work and busy work.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly establish a strict attendance policy, though one in-person review mentions canceled lectures.
Online evidence does not discuss attendance, and in-person evidence only mentions canceled lecture without a clear policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Students overwhelmingly recommend avoiding the courses because they feel unsupported, overworked, and poorly taught.
Both online and in-person comments are negative, with online evidence being much larger and more detailed.
