I found this class to be straightforward/easy, but ik not everyone else did. Fully depends on your background in calculus. Show up to class, take notes, do the homework, and go to office hours with questions. My TA was Benjamin Major, and he is awesome. His discussions are useful because they help you grasp the theory/understand why certain formulas work, etc. His office hours are also great; he'll help you a ton with problems you don't understand.

There are two midterms and one final. Homework assignments are about ten problems after each lecture, but you don't turn them in. At the end of the week, it picks two problems from all that were assigned that week and has you turn them in. Check your work with a friend and it should be easy points.

The midterms are during the lecture (40-50 mins long) and have problems that are exactly like homework. Honestly, it's pretty predictable what kinds of problems will be tested on the midterm if you do all the homework problems. Also, none of them are word problems; he gives you the numbers straight up.

very fair class, well structured, the notes are very clear and easy to understand, test material usually comes from the notes as well. the true or false can be a bit tricky, but the professor is very helpful (and also pretty funny).

well balanced class with good resources and help

great lecturer and gives fair tests with sufficient time. posts notes from before + after lectures, and sometimes has recordings on bruincast. no homework due to funding cuts but his suggested problems are extremely helpful
