Overall Professor Ouellette teaches well and makes the concepts easy to understand. However, his way of grading is genuinely abysmal. You can have the correct answer and justification for your answer, and he will still maybe only give you have credit because your justification is not the specific justification he wants. I got every answer correct on a midterm and provided justification for them but still ended with a B on it because he claimed some of my justification was incorrect. My justification was correct in every textbook I had found, however, I did not use his form of justification and therefore got those points off. He will also grade your homework with this brutal strategy as well. I have gotten every answer correct on every homework with justification, but have never gotten above an 18/20 because he will mark your justification as incorrect/missing if you do not provide the justification he wants. I truly enjoy the subject material of this class and it is so interesting to me, but Professor Ouellette's way of grading and restricted mindset makes this class so much more frustrating and unenjoyable. Its such a shame that his lecture quality is overshadowed by his closed-off manner in which he grades practically everything.

I took this class online during the summer so it was a bit fast paced, but Ouellette did a pretty good job of covering the material. All lectures and discussions were recorded so you could always go back and rewatch them. Lectures were pretty clear, some topics were a bit confusing but the prof did a good job of breaking the material down. Lectures pretty much just follow the textbook, which actually explains things really well, so I would recommend at least skimming over it. This class may be hard if you've never seen the material before, but the textbook and lectures definitely help.
Grading scheme: 25% homework, 25% MT1, 25% MT2, 25% Final. There was one homework assignment due each week with around 15 questions, which was pretty manageable. The lowest homework is dropped. Exams were all completed during lecture time on zoom with cameras and microphones on. Both midterms were 1 hour, and the final was 2 hours. Exams weren't terrible, and questions were very similar to the homework.
A huge part of this class was justification, which I found quite annoying. You could show your work and get the right answer to a question, but if you didn't provide a complete justification to all parts of the problem, you would get points taken off. But overall, the class wasn't bad and Ouellette is definitely a solid professor.
