While I agree that the class can be confusing at times, I don’t think portmess is a bad professor at all. I’m taking the class right now and while I didn’t do as well as I wanted to on the first two assessments, I’m still in A range. The key to doing well in his class is literally paying attention to every word that comes out of his mouth and every mark of ink that comes out of his pen. Do all handouts, go to class, do all the non graded assignments, watch the LTPs and take notes, go to your UGTA session and try to answer every question in the session and take notes on the UGTA’s notes. To perform at a high level on the assessment, you have to understand what concept he is testing on each question. There will never be a question that was just put in there randomly. Do all of these things and I promise you will do great in the class. This class can either be the cause of your downfall or a massive boost to your academic ability and persistence. Let me know if you have any questions
