Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Reported grades include F, C, drop, and one A only after thorough notes and full effort.
Both the online drop review and in-person reviews signal high grade pain.
Is the course easy?
Long lectures, dense reading, many papers, and no posted slides make the course hard to manage.
Difficulty complaints appear in both formats, with more detail from in-person students.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews mark attendance mandatory and one positive student stresses never skip class.
Attendance pressure is explicit in in-person reviews; the online review also lists attendance as mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Take-again is only 40% and multiple recent reviews say avoid or report drops.
Recommendation is weak in both formats, with stronger avoid language in-person.
Course guide
Grading
Strict
24/100
Tough grader tags, AI-use accusations, and multiple F or drop outcomes point to strict grading.
Format shift
Harsh grading evidence is mainly in-person, with online tags also listing tough grader.
Workload
Heavy
20/100
Lots of homework, many papers, heavy reading, and long lectures create a heavy load.
Format shift
Both formats carry lots of homework and so many papers tags.

Course format
Classroom format
Medium confidence · Best fit for Hardcore Learner
In-person reviews range from great lecturer who wants students to succeed to rude, unclear, and drop-inducing.
Main concern
Harsh interpersonal style, AI accusations, and heavy note-dependent testing.
What students said
“Very rude and disrespectful dude. Nothing was clear and he'll accuse you of using a.i. on a whim. AVOID”
“His lectures are great, but I would have appreciated being able to have something to refer to other than my notes”
“If you want to learn take his class, he is a good professor”
Remote format
Low confidence · Best fit for Hardcore Learner
One online review simply says the student dropped, with tough grader and heavy paper tags.
Main concern
Only one online review and it ends in a drop.
What students said
“I dropped.”
Exam style
Assessments rely on thorough personal notes from long lectures, with limited posted materials.
Assessment risk
Standard
42/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person students must take thorough notes because slides are not posted and quizzes or tests depend on lecture content.
“He didn't use a textbook and doesn't put any of his slides on Canvas, so you need to take extremely thorough notes.”
“by doing the required reading, tests, assignments and exams”
Online review does not describe exam mechanics beyond drop and heavy papers.
“I dropped.”
