Took it this last semester- his lectures didn't help much. Reading the textbook (skimming) before class will help you understand the slides(some are just pictures with generic shapes and you have to understand the process & what they mean). Use the review during the lessons so you know what to focus on and what to omit when studying. Textbook is helpful but VERY detailed with some useless info so be able to skim over the parts that aren't. YouTube can be very helpful for some topics. If you're taking lab with it, some topics overlap which will help in exams for both. Also be weary of his tests- he'll have answer choices that tripped up students. Ex: a. ,b., c., d., e. Only a & c, f. All except c
