Fall 2020 - Not the hardest class I've taken, but not easy either. I thought the professor explained things really well, and was happy to answer any questions. There was weekly homework taking 4+ hours with varying difficulty from pretty easy to brain-numbing but it is a upper-division math course so that is to be expected. I'm glad the professor didn't make the midterms and finals unnecessarily long during the pandemic. The midterms took about 2~3 hours. The final was a little longer at around 6 hours, but still not terrible. Overall I would take the course with this professor again.
