Easy to follow along as long as you understand the examples in class. Don't hesistate to ask questions!

The class itself is very doable. The material is not very hard to understand and there is plenty of time to take notes and fully understand the material. It sometimes can move too fast, but it is an A lane class.

The only memorization is the formulas, nothing else. He would handwrite notes for you to copy along in class and would upload them later on. The study guides are just like the test so no surprises. Very accessible and would make himself available if you needed more help. Engages students well and approachable.
