Winter 2021 - Make sure you understand materials on time because lecture pace is fast. Don't procrastinate. He expects you to not only apply proved theorems in class and homeworks, but also understand the ideas behind those proofs. Watch out as these ideas will appear in exam question. Exams are tough. He gives practice exams. I suggest you work through these practice exams, as you will have a great advantage on the actual exams. If you have concerns/questions, it's better to ask him during OHs instead of emailing/piazza. It may feel a little intimidating, but he's willing to explain a concept until you get it. He is a very kind soul.
