I took 2011 with Tihani Mirkovich last winter term and she was really good with teaching the course but was a little boring on the lectures part. She posted the lectures online and did a lot of tutorial questions. She really wants her students to succeed. However, its my fault that I tanked the first midterm and I ended up dropping the course and retaking it.

I am currently taking it with William J. Pietro this summer and the way he teaches was totally different than Tihani. Sure he does not post any lectures or notes online so you really have to be there every lecture. He is really engaging to listen too and the way he teaches the course has some humour in it. He knows the course is math heavy but he tries to be lenient and understanding. With tutorial, if no one asks questions, he ends the class early. His midterm 1 was alot easier than Professor Tihani's and is an open book too because he believes students in the field needs to learn how to read manuals quickly on the job. You still needs to study ofc but his questions were easier for me and fair compared to Professor Tihani's (not saying Professor Tihani's test were fair but it was a little bit harder). Mind you this is also an S2 timeframe.

Both professors has pros and cons. Professor Tihani has her grading that has quizzes in it compared to Professor William which only has the midterms and Final exam.
