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 2024 - Very disciplined and prepared professor. Knows his material. Wish he curved the class because I feel like I understood the material well but got the average scores on tests which still ended up as a B- which is annoying. TAs are awesome. Go to discussion. Good job at organizing the class schedule. Can be a bit boring sometimes and hard to follow along because the concepts can get complex but overall interesting. Rosner is a good professor for sure. I would take another class with him. Just wish the grading was better. Homework was good in making us understand the concepts actually and not just wasting our time.

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.
