His lectures are helpful but he moves through material at such a slow pace...which I guess isn't a bad thing except that you have to sit through every one because most of the material he tests on is specifically from details in his lecture and not the textbook. However, if you do manage that, his exams are pretty much easy As, especially with the notes he allows you to have. I went to class about 80% of the time, spent an hour max preparing for each exam (which consisted of making my notes sheet) and nearly aced every one.

This class was very interesting and I learned a lot of useful skills. No textbook, just power points. The midterm and final were multiple choice with a couple open ended questions (no partial). Not really that bad if know the material because they were not too hard. Oh and the exams were open notes. The wrong answers in the multiple choices were completely random and were not derived from mistakes you would make while doing a problem. This makes getting >90 very doable. Grade: A. Workload: Low. Difficulty: med. I recommend you know how to play poker before taking this course.
