Fall 2025 - One of the best professors I’ve taken in my academic career. He makes the subject incredibly easy to understand, his lectures are clear, he offers a lot of office hours, and he ultimately just wants his students to succeed. The homework is straightforward if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings. The final is a group project, and my one piece of advice would be to select your groups wisely. The workload is incredibly manageable if your group is evenly splitting up the work for the final project. Overall, amazing class and extremely interesting content!
