Spring 2023 - I thought this class was reasonable and even though it was his first time teaching, I think his lectures really improved a lot over the quarter. For the lectures he mostly read off Pilon's slides and would sometimes rewrite the equations on the blackboard for some reason, but they were still informative since the slides were well-made and easy to understand. Homework was doable but quite time consuming. As for tests, there were two quizzes, a midterm and a final which were all modelled after Pilon's class. The quizzes were purely conceptual and the midterm and final were each separated into a conceptual part and a computational part. All of the tests were pretty reasonable and followed pretty closely to the problems covered in the hw and lecture. Overall, I enjoyed this class even though the content was kind of boring at times.
