Winter 2022 - This is for 110BH in winter 22. Sharifi is a good professor with engaging lectures and willing to accommodate students by giving extensions on homework and finals. However, the homework, while contains fantastic questions, was difficult and there is no answers online. The Final was even more difficult( mean 123, high 173 out of 200) but I did feel that I learned a lot from the final. For instance, the final was the first time which I used the Nullstellensatz to calculate radicals of an ideal. I had a 80 average for the homework and midterm, and I barely passed the final, and i received a A-, so it is clearly that the professor recognized the difficulty of the assessment. Overall, recommended, but be ready to put a lot of effort into it.
