Spring 2023 - This class is an easy A there is pretty much no way you cannot get an A in this class. It is not possible to get an A+ in this class because the department has deemed it too easy a class to justify an A+ (according to the professor himself). It's 2 easy assignments, 1 easy midterm and 1 easy final. Attendance is encouraged but vaguely optional. The professor is awful. Awful. The BruinLearn is disorganized, he just spends lectures rambling about things and showing YouTube video after YouTube video. The worst thing is if you have to email him for an extension. His emails are unhelpful and rude, he does not reply to the actual question you asked. He asked for my personal mobile number after I asked to submit an essay early because he wanted it submitted on a saturday but I would have no Wifi on that saturday (it was a group project all of us had to submit individually and my groupmates were not able to finish it until Saturday morning). I said I wasnt comfortable with that. Another student told me he did the same and yelled at her on the phone after she asked for an extension. I had to cancel my weekend trip as a result so I could submit the project on Saturday. This is what he sent me after I asked to submit it a day early: "I've been available quite a bit in class to clarify and provides extensive I'm not understanding the request if you are in a group cannot give special additional time to some and not others students We've provided a lot of support and flexibility Please do as you plan and need to given your contexts and requests We'll figure out Thank you Best wishes" He then sent me 3 other emails in the space of 5 minutes, none of which answered my question or made much sense.
