Comment:

He is very knowledgeable and helpful. He's genuinely interested in ensuring that the class understands the material office hours are very useful. The quizzes and tests are fair. HW assignments can be lengthy, but they really help to prepare for the tests. He keeps the lectures interesting by including real world applications and experience.

Comment:

No book was used. 90% of the power point slides are useless. Professor is poorly prepared to present lectures. Homework problems are vague, and lack proper description. Professor is competent but irresponsible, and most of the time not helpful.

Comment:

Not a good professor for an easy class. Quizzes are a joke. For one time, he took out a hardest problem out of homework for quiz...and the problem became part of a exam..With a not helpful TA to succeed this class is merely impossible for an average guy. If you have other choice don't take a class with him.

Comment:

He should be avoided at all costs. Grades very hard and makes exams even harder. No equations provided or allowed in exams. Gives too many problems for hw and is not interested in teaching students much. Also uses a book that is as terrible at explaining concepts as he is. He may come off as mean, arrogant and self-centered.
