👨‍🏫 About Teaching Style

One of the and enthusiastic professors I have ever met.
You won't understand much of his lectures because he has no easy train-of-thought for you to follow.
He is very helpful if you go to his office .

Very hard class. I studied my butt off.
its a 5unit class for a reason. put in A LOT of effort
You have to study everything.

Theme 3

📝 About Tests

told us we should study for.
so simply memorizing isn't effective.
The study guides provided are too general and don't help at all.
