This was Professor Xu's first time teaching 100B and he closely followed the textbook, so the lectures were pretty dry in my opinion. There was also no random sign-in sheet that was passed around. Homework problems were mostly taken from Professor Christou's homeworks. The exams were straightforward, but they were not open book/notes. We did not get to use a calculator until the final. He had two grading schemes: Straight scaling and curving. For curving he would give top 25% A, next 25% B, and so forth. For the curving grading scheme, he said he would fail people if they did really bad in the class, e.g. 40 on final. Although I have never been to his office hours, I have heard he is extremely helpful during them.
