Winter 2024 - Some tips for others intending to take this class. Overall it is not a very difficult class, not a lot of difficult conceptual thinking but a lot of memorizing of small details that seems to be not that relevant/important. The only thing you should do to succeed in this class is to memorize all the information in his slide. The lecture and reading aren’t that important, he makes tests based upon the lecture slides and he gives a lot of curves. I got low 90s probably in both of my tests and I received an A+ for some reason. Definitely doable, especially if you have some Chinese background.
