Fall 2020 - This professor was the most unclear and unfair professor. I don't understand why he was even able to be teaching and don't believe he should continue. When I first started the class, I thought he was a really cool math professors with lots of icebreakers and fun games to help understand concepts. However, as the class went on it seemed to me that he really was playing mind games on the whole class. He would make typos on lectures and then frame it as if he did it on purpose, giving people bonus points left and right for what felt like complete favoritism. For our second midterm, he gave some of the class the ENTIRE midterm with word for word questions that COMPLETELY ruined the curve. The first midterm was fair and those who worked hard actually did better but since you were able to take the midterm with the higher score almost everyone got 100% on that midterm. Not to mention, he would tell us to ignore certain material that he said wouldn't be tested which then showed up on exams! For the final, there were many rumors that he gave people in office hours the questions that would be on the final. This class was extremely corrupt, as I had an A in the class up until the terrible and impossible final that was given. I am extremely upset with the way this class had ended and definitely wouldn't recommend taking his class. I have even reported this to the math department and I am very disappointed that no action was taken further.
