Professor Li is not the best lecturer and I often found myself a little confused on where in the book we were. However, his tests are extremely similar to the homework and definitely manageable. The homework is in general pretty doable although you do have to code it with LaTeX which can be a little tedious and time consuming. In addition, some problems require you to use MATLAB which was a little difficult for me as someone who had never used MATLAB before. I would say expect to dedicate some time to this class early on in the quarter if you need a review on linear algebra or aren't familiar with LaTeX or MATLAB.

Good professor who basically tell you what are in the midterms and final before exams. Everything you need to do is memorizing.
