The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is realistic for prepared students, but comments repeatedly say you must attend, do homework, and perform on exams.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews because there are no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
Students say he makes math clearer, but the material can still be fast-paced, test-heavy, and conceptually demanding.
All course difficulty evidence is from in-person math courses.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is not described as formally mandatory, but several reviews imply skipping class makes success much harder.
Only in-person reviews discuss attendance, with no online attendance evidence.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend him for clear teaching and strong support, though a minority warn about pace, tests, or lecture style.
