Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Grades skew D/F/C+/drop; even the positive review needed careful lecture following for an A.
All evidence is in person; no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
Students describe fast problem walkthroughs, weak explanations, and exams much harder than practice.
All difficulty reports are from in-person sections.
Is attendance flexible?
Some sections mark attendance mandatory and heavy; others list it optional with little Canvas material.
Only in-person data; attendance policy appears inconsistent by course.
Is this professor recommended?

All recommendation evidence is in person.
