It was Simon’s first time teaching the course so it may have gotten better. But I found the material pretty boring and found it hard to study for this class. As well, I thought he was a pretty harsh marker. The first midterm had a low 50 average but was luckily scaled. I would have dropped if I didn’t miss the deadline.

Record lectures (with the prof’s permission) and take notes each class. Ask questions to clarify concepts.make sure to always go to class.
