initial enrollment = ~85, final enrollment = 48. Hilarious isn't it? First time he taught an upper div and seemed to drive out like half the class. Harsh grading on the first midterm (i.e. lose major points for computational errors) probably had a lot to do with that. So he seemed cold at first, like other reviews have suggested. He actually ended up being pretty nice. He gave us what I thought was a pretty easy final, probably to help raise our grades (no curve in the class; he had a special scale) and reward those who decided to stick it out. My friend was actually a couple points short of an A (you needed 890 out of 1000 points total for the class). Lew ended up giving him the A anyways. Thus, at least from my perspective, he ended up being pretty nice, and not so cold as other people think. OK lecturer. Sorta acts like an oddball/nerdy, but that's alright.

Winter 2022 - This class was interesting but definitely a lot more math and problem solving than I thought it was going to so be prepared for that. Had weekly problem sets which the TAs help you with during section. We were allowed to use notes during the midterms and final, but you definitely need to make sure you are able to solve the problems pretty well. We did 'poll' questions during lecture so attendance was kind of required but I think he had some other option for people who didn't attend lecture too.
