Spring 2020 - I love professor Campbell! He's the nicest guy I've ever taken a class from. He handled having classes online very well this quarter. He speaks clearly and makes sure that everyone understands what is going on in the class. His notes are also LOVELY as he writes down almost everything he plans to say. A straight-forward and kind professor is what I need and Robert delivers.

Spring 2022 - Professor Ma was not the most exciting professor. The lectures were 2 hours long and I often found myself drifting off to sleep during class. He posts the slides but pretty much reads off of them completely. The homework worksheets are not too bad and usually you can just use the examples in the textbooks for help. Exams were take-home (remote and timed) and were not too hard. Discussion sections were extremely helpful, and sometimes reading the book in lieu of attending lecture works just as well.

Spring 2018 - Course is very straightforward and quizzes won't have anything surprising or out of the blue on them. Study for a couple hours before each quiz and you'll be golden. Homework assignments were often very similar to problems on lecture slides. Not exactly an easy A, but pretty difficult to do poorly in. Professors are very transparent about grading. Lecture material gets kind of boring when the guest lecturers come in-- only really engaging if you REALLY care about this sort of thing. Ribeka was a legendary TA but she graduated :(
