This class was a bit strange, since the exams were both open-note and open-book. However, the exams were fairly challenging, especially because lectures were focused on derivations and not applications of the knowledge, and the exams were focused on application. The median for the midterm was 64% and the median for the final was 59%. I believe the median translates to approximately a B in the class.

There is weekly homework, and each problem is graded for correctness. Sometimes, he would create his own problems and those were significantly more difficult than textbook problems.

The professor consistently went overtime each lecture by 5-10 minutes, which is not ideal when you have another class immediately after. Fortunately, notes are uploaded online.
