Spring 2020 - Professor Rubin is the GOAT. For the first few weeks of class, he was experimenting with the class structure and used surveys for students to voice their opinions. To say the least, he took our responses into account and reduced the amount of worksheets per week and gave us more time for quizzes. He was a super accommodating professor! He had pre-lecture videos, which introduced us to the material and he elaborated on the concepts in class. Professor Rubin was friendly and open to questions in class and during office hours. He also has the best mugs. Overall, I would recommend him and I would definitely take another class with him. The grade breakdown was: Optional Homework (super helpful to do in preparation for quizzes/exams) 20% worksheets (based on completion) 20% Midterms (second one was harder than the first) 40% quizzes (takes 3 questions from the hw so you are guaranteed a 7/10) 20% final

I thought Schul was a good professor, he explained everything great, was willing to answer anyone's question (even the people that would always ask really annoying questions). The TAs however...(Wilson and Dustin) are not very good. Wilson is a d*ck, and Dustin is just not very effective. Anytime you ask Wilson a question, he basically tells you to go f*ck urself and figure it out on your own.

Winter 2023 - If Brian Shin has a million supporters, I AM ONE OF THEM. If Brian Shin has a thousand supporters, I AM ONE OF THEM. If Brian Shin has one supporter, I AM THAT SUPPORTER. If he has no supporters, THEN I AM DEAD. IF THE WORLD IS AGAINST BRIAN SHIN, I AM AGAINST THE WORLD.

So I noticed that not many people sign up for his class and instead opt for Park. Bottom line is, take Park if you want to learn the material, and take Song if you want easy exams. Song's exams were straight from the book and homework (just with different numbers). He gets the harder problems from the chapter reviews. The curve is set pretty low, which I don't understand. His accent is very heavy, but you get used to it. Just sit in the front.
