His exams are simple for the most part. Most of his exam questions have only 2 answers so if you guess you got a 50% chance of getting it correct. The textbook is not necessary since exams are based on class examples not TEXTBOOK. Do well on the exams and you will get a high grade. Do poorly on those then expect a low grade since there's no curve.

AMAZING TEACHER. Doesn't take attendance, but I recommend going because his tests are based off of his lectures - I never bought the textbook since he was so thorough. No homework, only one quiz, midterm, and final. Fairly self-explanatory and very helpful, just email him or talk after class. Also a funny story teller. LOVED HIM AS A TEACHER!!!

i can't believe how good of a professor he is, i often catch myself thinking what life would be like if all my professors taught like him. makes material EXTREMELY easy to understand with funny examples, but if you never show up you will not do good at all. or if you never pay attention in class (a VERY bad mistake). TAKE HIM!!

Lectures are easy to understand b/c of him and warning, pay attention to every detail he gives because all test questions are based on class lectures. Funny professor and is willing to go over the topic again so everyone understands it. Definitely recommend

Professor Liveson is a great professor. He's friendly, and he makes his lectures enjoyable. Attendance isn't mandatory, there isnt any homework for the class and you are graded by one quiz, one midterm and the final. His handwriting is a little bit on the sloppier side. Overall I would definitely recommend him as a professor.

Awesome guy. He's funny and clear. Tells jokes within the lecture, sometimes to add to you understanding of the topic and sometimes just to make you laugh. Go to class. Honestly it's enjoyable to be there and like 99% of the test is based on explanations he's given over and over in class. If you don't get a B or more you didn't pay attention.

He's an amazing professor. He knows exactly what he's talking about and keeps the class very interesting with his examples and jokes.
