Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible when exams mirror notes or extra credit exists, but poor teaching and tough grading raise the real effort cost.
All evidence comes from online reviews, with no in-person reviews available.
Is the course easy?
The math content is made harder by unclear lectures, unresolved topics, and self-teaching demands.
All course difficulty evidence is from online reviews only.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly prove whether attendance is optional, recommended, or mandatory.
Online reviews do not give clear attendance policy evidence, and there are no in-person reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Most negative reviews advise avoiding him because students feel they learn little from his teaching.
The recommendation evidence is entirely online and strongly mixed to negative.
