Winter 2025 - I kinda disagree with my classmate's post. First the median for midterms is 16.25/28 with std 22%, and 36.6/51 for final with std 17%. which I think not too bad for an upper-division math class, especially real analyze is not an easy topic. His teaching is pretty good at least in my opinion, and he offered all the lecture notes at the beginning of the class, so you can study ahead and review the topics easily. Talking about the test, the test itself is not hard, and he is definitely not a harsh grader. Since his idea for this class is intuitive combined with logic, so you don't have to prove things super rigorously. Also he is a really nice guy, I did pretty bad in midterm since I just recovered from the flu, and I was a little lost, so I emailed him say if I can schedule a meeting with him to talk about the reason why I did not get the grade I expected, and he said yes quickly. The final grade is A 96%-90%, A- 90%-86%, B+ 86%-80%, B 80-74. and everyone in the class get at least a C-.
