I took this 4 week class during COVID. He was very flexible if you needed help. His lectures are ppt read and boring but he offers multiple opp. to make a good grade on hw. Exams are difficult!!!He does drop the lowest to assignment grades to help. He was very understanding during this time as the class switched to 100% remote.

Prof Manage did a fantastic job teaching this course. As we all know, COVID messed up this class and turned it fully remote :(. The Prof didn't skip a beat and provided video lectures. Whenever I needed help he was fast in replies. His tests followed the homework he provided. He's very understanding and would 10/10 recommend his class.

First off, he is not a native, so I was able to understand roughly 60% of the lectures, which are heavy. Usually has around five videos per week. Some last only 5-8 minutes, while others may last 30 minutes, apiece. If you do not know how to use the calculator, get instruction from youtube. You will be on your own. 13 assignments, 3 tests.
