Professor Ebert is very nice, and incredibly helpful. His office hours are incredibly valuable as he can spend a bit more time explaining material that he couldn't expand on in the lecture. The homework is generally quite challenging, and the exams were very difficult with a generous end-of-quarter curve to move the grades up.

Prof Ebert is very helpful in terms of availability to answer questions and overall provides a good class experience. Lectures progressed well and the course was well taught. Would take the class again and thought the content/material was tested fairly on exams. Would recommend to anyone taking 115a, advise would be to read the textbook before lectures to really solidify learning, though this is more of a general truth for most/all upper divs.
