Winter 2022 - This guy literally called us his guinea pigs in the first lecture and that’s what it seemed like we were. He didn’t upload slides or record the lectures, which is appalling since half the class was during a covid peak. Actually, the only thing on canvas for this course was the syllabus and quizzes. No resources or anything to help you. Not even the readings he could link you. Since he doesn’t upload slides you have to race to copy them as fast as possible AND listen to him lecture about the complicated subject. Every class I’ve taken here the slides were uploaded, except this guy. His office hours were before class started so if you have another class before this one you’re out of luck to attend those like I was. The workload is light, but this professor seems like he wants to do the least amount of work possible. He doesn’t even offer feedback on the quizzes so you don’t even know what you did wrong. Avoid this guy if you can, worst class I’ve taken.
