I felt the course itself was not difficult. However, the exams were ridiculously long. Moreover, the T.A.s did all the grading, and they were harsh--rewarding little or no partial credit. That's no wonder the standard deviation was so large. Out of "fairness" for the T.A.s' preset grading rubric for everyone, almost all regrade requests were turned down. The prof supported the T.A.s. He did not take the time to evaluate the students'answers & T.A.s' grading or students' regrade requests. He ended up curving the class, but since he was adamant about the straight grading scale, the curve only allowed for a couple of A-s!

Summer 2019 - I studied with much effort and dedication and despite all the work and time I had committed to this course alone, i received a grade that was much inferior to my classmates' grades (I should note, by the way, that these classmates hardly studied). I know that the grading system of professor nonacs is unfairly biased and rigged (the hardly-studying students just went to office hours and got As). Even though I did not attend oh other than 4 or so times (work schedule often conflicted with oh times), I know I studied more than these other classmates **and I should note that I'm not referring to all the classmates, but only to these specific acquaintances** Not only is his grading system very biased, but his tests are too tricky and confusing. You need to pay attention to the utilized words and the wording/syntax of the question because nonacs intentionally makes his exams by means of asking u tricky questions, essentially tricking you. Save your time and GPA and stay away from this pretentious, condescending, egotistical bigot!
