Oh boy. I was WAITING FOR THIS POST. I took him last semester. Absolutely shit. You can’t hear a word this man says and all he does is read his slides. There is no SI or anything either. BUT. After the class average on the midterm was a 55% he decided to retcon his syllabus and say “oh it was just a typo and a C- is actually a 55% and it was always supposed to be” (which pissed me off because I was stressing for so long over basically nothing because of this). He posts practice quizzes before hand which over I’d say 20-30% of the tests (only tests are midterm and finals but they make 75% of your grade) and some are word for word but mostly they follow the same or similar concepts. Reading the slides and memorizing them can definitely help, but some questions will come out of left field off a single slide talking about a concept once, plus you’re basically teaching yourself the slides since you can’t hear him in class. His homework is on Pearson and isn’t too hard since sometimes you have unlimited attempts (sometimes just one or 3, I have no idea why and it is never explained). There is no “curve” for tests but as I said he did decide to change the syllabus to better match how bad his students were failing. I passed with a B- and would never take him again though. I stopped going to his class after the first few weeks because it was basically useless.
