Spring 2024 - Prof Sherstov is awesome! He's super kind and always willing to help his students understand concepts. A lot of times, the two hour classes feel really long and tiring, but this wasn't the case with 181 with Sherstov. He was great at keeping the class's attention, and the concepts themselves were pretty interesting. Like other reviewers have mentioned, his exams have a built in curve (max 30 points for midterms but score is out of 25 and max 36 points for final but score is out of 30). The final was significantly harder than the midterms imo. Definitely do all the practice midterms and finals he provides, and reading the textbook also helps solidify your understanding. Doing textbook problems can also be helpful. Some homeworks are harder than other, but they're great practice for exams. They're graded on completion/effort, so make sure not to lose these points by forgetting to do them. Final grades were calculated using standard cutoffs: eg: A- : 90-93, A: 93-97, A+ : 97-100 Overall, I totally recommend this class!
