Most Helpful Review
Fall 2018 - If you can, try to get a different professor for this course. I never really learned the material during lecture, Zocchi is an okay guy but not much of a teacher, could hardly hold my attention, and rarely answered questions. I just went to lecture to get my notes and then learned the materialfrom the TA and on my own. Zocchi also went over the most important part of the course in the last week of class, but told us specifically that he wouldn't test on it, so me and many other students did not learn it. Anyway, from simply studying the few homework problems he gave and reviewing the notes I was able to get a B, but if you want an A you'll probably need to study a lot or example problems from the book (which he hardly follows, and the sections are sometimes difficult to find), and make sure you know ALL the notes. And his exams only have 4 questions, each question worth 5 points, so each point is worth almost a percent.
