Winter 2021 - I loved 170E with Professor Tyler – he was a really good teacher, taught a lot, and was really helpful during office hours. There's a good amount of homework, but since we were virtual the midterms and final weren't bad. Class seems to be one of the easier math classes, but also one that's pretty interesting as well, and Tyler is a great teacher for this class.

Spring 2024 - I came into Algorithms with very limited computer science background and it ended up ok! Tyler is very nice and chill and a clear lecturer. His office hours were a great help for the exams and weekly homeworks. There were 8 homework assignments (lowest dropped) and 2 midterms and 1 final. There were also 2 grading schemes such that one midterm may be dropped. The average exam scores for the midterms were around B- and the final about A-. I highly recommend doing the study guides that Tyler posts before each exam. He also records all of his lectures so you can rewatch them. Overall I'd recommend this class but be prepared for potentially difficult exams.
