The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is reachable with steady homework, attendance, and showing work, but weak math students can find the path unforgiving.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews; there is no online evidence.
Is the course easy?
The material can feel manageable with homework and attention, but the pace and skipped review make it harder for some students.
All course-difficulty evidence comes from in-person math reviews.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is explicitly described as mandatory and tied to succeeding on tests.
Only in-person reviews discuss attendance, and they point to a strict attendance expectation.
Is this professor recommended?
Many students recommend him for clear teaching and fairness, but a strong minority warn that his style can be confusing and fast.
The recommendation evidence is entirely in person, with no online comparison available.

Standard
58/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews mention tests, required shown work, and a final mostly drawn from earlier test questions, but do not clearly prove open-book or proctoring policies.
“No work shown on the test (even if u get the answer right) NO CREDIT!!”
“he tells exactly what problems he will give you for every test.”
“Study the tests cuz the final is mostly made up of test questions.”
