12/22/2025		He is a very nice guy and goes out of his way to learn everyone’s names, but his lectures are very difficult to follow. His handwriting and explanations are clear but he is constantly jumping from one thing to another making lectures impossible. Assigns biweekly homework’s that are not bad but exams are insane. Not super lengthy but includes many topics in single questions.

It contains a lot of topics but insufficient theorems and facts to finish homework. It's not well organized. There is a lot of homework from the textbook, very difficult.

06/12/2020 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.		Class is hard, but you learn a lot. One of the homework problems took 7 pages typed. I would suggest to only take the class if you're genuinely interested in the material, which is probably expected for graduate level courses.
