Most Helpful Review
All the notes for his lectures are posted on the web. He basically reads off a series of overhead slides (same as those on webpage) during lecture...Boring and ineffective teaching style (a monotonous lecturer doesn't exactly help either). The key to doing well in his class: DO HIS PRACTICE TESTS!! I had to struggle a bit w/ Buddin's class only because i'm the type who learns thru effective teaching, for those who can do well by just studying alone, however, this class should be a breeze for you.

OK professor, but as most people said, BORING! I swear, you have to either be high on caffeine or have slept right before class in order to keep awake. Before I realized that, every time I went to class I had to fight off sleeping. Then I started taking naps right before class, which was fine, and then I finally realized that it's pointless to go to his lectures, because all he does is read off the slides. Guess what, you can do that yourself, even better. The tests are not easy, I would say they're medium difficulty; however, he does put in a problem which is usually tricky, that's what separates the a's from the b's. so be on the watch out for those tricky questions. TA sessions are vital, make sure you go to them.
