The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A is realistic because homework is often optional and some tests are dropped, but exam-heavy grading still requires solid preparation.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews, with no online reviews available.
Is the course easy?
The math content is not always advanced, but fast pacing, unclear writing, and self-teaching demands make it harder for some students.
All course difficulty evidence comes from in-person reviews.
Is attendance flexible?
Homework is often optional, but some reviews say missing class costs points or makes passing unlikely.
Only in-person reviews mention attendance, and they describe mixed flexibility.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend him when they value examples and approachability, but weaker math students report serious teaching and exam concerns.
All recommendation evidence comes from in-person reviews.
