Most Helpful Review
Spring 2025 - Butson does a great job of making the homework challenging but not impossible. I always felt as though I was thinking when attempting his HW, unlike lower division math classes, where the problems are just rinse/repeat. He's always very helpful and kind in office hours; whenever I was uncertain about a question, I never had a problem asking for his help. I will say the second midterm exam was a little more difficult than anyone anticipated, he's really looking to get you to think beyond just a simple plug/chug formulaic approach to math. Final was very fair, all the questions were questions he went over in class, to some degree. Some were even from the second midterm. Overall, would very much recommend this prof but he probably is on the harder side of 170E professors.
