Fall 2023 - Everything in this class could have been fine. The weekly quizzles consisted of homework questions from the previous week with different constants. The midterm exams were very fair and rather simple if you reviewed the homework problems beforehand. Then there was the final. Oh boy. To put it simply, this was a very, very misleading statement: "if you have been on top of the homework, and felt that the midterms and quizzes were do-able, there shouldn't be any big surprises on the exam!" -Professor Flynn, 2023 I honestly feel like the questions on the final were reasonable for this kind of class, it's just that the material taught and assigned did not accurately reflect what was on the exam. I'm just glad Patrick ended up curving at the end.

Winter 2024 - Patrick has super clear lectures and cares about content. The first half is pretty straightforward mathematical applications and the second half is a lot more theoretical and its somewhat not as connected, but if you go to office hours and ask questions Patrick is happy to delve deeper. Exams aren't tedious but do test your knowledge of the course! Definitely take 135 with him if you can
