Fall 2023 - this man is so chill i remember walking into the first lecture and he was really nice, kinda funny too in an uncle sort of way. midterms and finals are ripped from the textbook basically so as long as you do the homework you can't be surprised. lecture is definitely skippable but he explains the intuition between a lot of the processes, which if you struggle with calculus is really helpful.

Winter 2025 - I dont know why this dude has a 5.0, but im going to make sure that students in the future do not make the mistake I did. He goes so fast in the course its almost as if hes expected you to take the course already. The hw and quizzes are really easy, but the tests have time sinks that are virtually impossible worth like 6% of your grade. Other than that, they are relatively easy, I have nothing awful to say about this class, but the in my opinion he does not deserve a 5.0 unless you a fan of jokes that are not very funny but for some reason makes the entire class burst out laughing. The lectures are unclear and there is very little substantiation in anything he does on the board, forcing you to learn through the homework. Overall relatively mid experience.

Fall 2024 - Professor Do posts very detailed lecture notes, but he was one of the few math profs who actually motivated me to attend lectures because he presents things in a pretty intuitive and easy-to-follow way. His exams are very fair - he might throw in a slightly tricky question or two, but usually offers generous EC (we're talking ~7 points on a 100-point exam) to make up for it. His exams often draw directly from homework assignments, which can take a while, but they're worth doing and he's very willing to help you out (or straight up give you the answer) during office hours. 10/10 would take again
