So I'm gonna break this review into parts of the teaching and class.

Lectures: I only went to lectures til 3rd week then stopped going because it was boring and everything is podcasted. You don't even have to watch the entire podcast, just look for the specific times when she does a problem that is similar to the ones on the homework. Unless you're the type of student that takes amazing notes during lectures, just save yourself time and podcast/skim everything.

Assignments: The homework is 10% of the grade and is extremely hard to do by yourself. She pretty much designed it so that students were forced to go to office hours if they wanted an A on the hw grade. However, this greatly prepares you for the midterm and final.

Exams: There are two midterms (20% each) and a final (50% or 70% depending on the grading scheme). If you fail one of the midterms horribly then you'll probably go with the grading scheme where the final is worth 70% and that midterm is dropped. Anyway, to study for the midterm, I highly suggest you work out the homework problems and the midterm review. Trust me, if you do at least that and understand the problems, you'll get at least a B on the midterm. For my first midterm, the last two problems were exactly like two problems of the homework except the numbers were changed. I ended up getting a curved B on that one. For the second midterm, it was definitely harder. To clarify, the average for the first midterm was 64% but for the second midterm it was 44%. But because I studied my homework like crazy before the second midterm I got an A on it. As for the Final, just review every single homework question and find past finals. There were like 2 homework question and a past final question that I recognized on my final which made it a whole lot easier. The average for the final was 53%.

Overall, my (curved) scores were as follow: B on midterm 1, A on midterm 2, A on final, A on homework. Ended up with an A. Keep in mind that I only went to 25% of the lectures because I thought they were hella boring and they were all podcasted anyway.

TL;DR Go to office hours for homework help. Review homework for midterm/final. Take it with chowdhury, its not that time consuming and if you put in the effort to understand the homework, you'll be fine.
