  • but lecture experience is inconsistent.

  • Support quality swings from go-out-of-his-way help to no help at all.
  • One student loved the lab; another called the intro class shell-shocking.

Low confidence · Best fit for Hardcore Learner

one student found him nice and helpful in lab, another found intro PHS1 confusing, overleveled, and unhelpful.

Main concern

Intro classes may demand upper-level math without listing it as a prerequisite, and help can be inconsistent.
