Professor Trott is a fantastic professor and I'd highly recommend taking this class with him. He's a really engaging lecturer and he's super helpful outside of the class, he clearly cares a lot about the success of his students. I took this over A-session 2025, so we had an especially fast-paced class since everything was squeezed into 6 weeks. At times it felt like a lot of information very fast, but Professor Trott made things very manageable. The only homework was weekly quizzes that weren't too difficult, and the exams were very fair in terms of difficulty. They were a mix of multiple choice and short answer, and he allowed us to have a 1 page (front and back) sheet with notes for each exam. There was also extra credit offered on each exam, with the difficulty of the question determined by overall class attendance. Overall, I learned a lot in this class and I couldn't recommend Professor Trott enough to anyone who needs to take it.

Professor Trott is such an amazing professor! He gives very engaging lectures and breaks down the concepts very well! The class during summer session consisted of weekly quizzes with unlimited attempts, a midterm (30% of your grade), and a final (40%) of your grade. Exams were open note, open internet which makes this class 1000x better during the summer compared to the school year. Would take it again with Professor Trott!
