Winter 2023 - The Professor is nice and his lectures are usually pretty good. He tends to read off the slides a lot. The workload isn't bad at all because the readings are more recommended than required. The tests weren't too difficult either, especially since he made the final a take-home test. As long as you keep up with the material and study before the midterm and final, you should be fine. There are also group quizzes, so it would be helpful to form a group to do the quizzes with early on.

Winter 2019 - Took a chance with this professor as he had no reviews because what could be worse than 120B? I really tried to like this guy since he does care about the class and tries his best lecturing BUT man I really hated coming to this class. He sometimes confuses himself in lecture while I'm already struggling to pay attention. Really the only saving grace of this class was the mandatory section which would go into further depth on topics (get Maureen Gray as a TA or perish). His tests are unnecessarily difficult (and a fan on the cursed E answer choice). While the in-class / online quizzes and essay were easy assignments, the tests just make you feel like you wasted your time going over his 400+ review slide compilation. Perhaps reading the book could have helped but I wouldn't know because I can't read. You're probably better off taking this with someone else.
