Prof. Simmons liked to give interesting examples that are beyond textbooks. And his midterms and finals were connected closely to these interesting examples. What disturbed me was that he always wanted you to preview textbook before attending lectures, which was really time consuming. And at the 8th week, his lecture became very unorganized, which confused me.

For his office hour, he was really nice to answer our questions, and he also let me know some fancy ideas which were not in the textbook.(although I barely understood) But for he was not good at solving problems.
