Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - Great guy, engaging lectures. Lectures often recorded, and posts slides online (however sometimes he works out problems in lecture which he does not post with the slides, a fair balance). Everything is super organized, like referencing textbook chapters, although the textbook is too high level and not too helpful. However, is the type of class you can miss some lectures and have resources to catch up yourself. Exams are fair and he gives review/practice problems the lecture before. Homework is kinda tough, like the avg engineering class. Definitely as good a professor as you can get.
