Funny and helpful professor. Requires some math calculations but overall emphasize the large concepts. Math calculations aren't too difficult but can be challenging (especially the pedigree)
Homework can be somewhat difficult (mostly calculations) but you don't need to take the exam if you do well on the homework.
Discussion sections go over the calculations needed for homework (with sample problems) and the research paper to write for the assignment (mostly summary and some application).
Attend class for clicker participation.
