Spring 2026 - A legend. Gives homework and so many examples in class. On exams, there is no way there is a question on there that you haven't seen before. This class can get hard and overwhelming with all the equations being thrown around. Simplify your life and get rid of the part where you're worrying about what's going to be on the exam. Homeworks could be hard, but a lot of discussion help on the Bruinlearn discussions.
