Spring 2020 - (note--taken online due to covid) Dr. Nordendale is an all-around great professor. Exams are reasonable and fairly graded; homeworks are straightforward and reinforce the material learned in class, and the lectures were live (not pre-recorded) and he frequently stopped to take questions. I'd definitely recommend taking this class.
