- **2020-04** — Great instructor and the course is interesting

- **2020-04** — At first you might feel lost and confused. It's okay, just try recording his lectures, and then write down everything he says and study it very well. He mostly asks questions about what he explains in class. If you go over something really complicated in the slides and that he didn't explain, it most probably not going to be in the exam.

- **2019-08** — Requires great understanding of the material. He is a bit boring in explanation, must take notes in addition to slides to study for his exams
