Winter 2017 - I loved Bauchy. His lectures were super clear and methodical. He never skipped steps. The midterm wasn't too bad, and it was on par with the homework assignments. I think the TA, Han Liu, made the homework assignments and he did a good job with them. The final was also about on par with the homework assignments. The class wasn't too difficult for me. I think in previous years Bauchy assigned homework from the book but this year he didn't. Having good homework assignments really helped.

Winter 2025 - i thought class was extremely fair idk I really liked it but i know a lot of people who did not download the textbook online and do the practice/chapter review problems. One of the exam problems (the hardest one imo) was in the ch. review and also fully solved on youtube, they just changed it a bit homework was a bit annoying but it was nice that it was basically guaranteed you would get 100% in that category attending lecture is not necessary at all, very easy to self-study, but go to discussion because both TAs are goats also you get 6 cheat sheets per exam thats crazy i just filled it with practice problems lowkey you have every resource to succeed in this class

The concepts in the class aren't too difficult to grasp, and Professor Shugar is pretty good about sectioning things off into the categories you need to study. The homework is worth a lot of your grade, but it's not too bad. Discussion is mandatory since there are quizzes (though they CAN eventually count for 0% of your grade). Professor Shugar knows his stuff pretty well, but lecture can get boring at times. His notes are very straightforward and complete. Pretty good overall.
