Lectures are a bit boring and he mostly reads off of the slides, but he is so willing to answer questions and clarify material. Exams are tough, but open note and he gives you all of the materials that will be on the exams. I did not like econ, but he is a great professor.
He uses Iclicker on random class days and only gives you like 5 seconds to answer each question to show you were "in class", but this isn't true because even if you are in class and get the answers wrong, it counts against you. Tests were also meant to be online and 3 weeks into class changed it to in person. Tests were also on Fridays at 4-5.
Can't stay awake during his lectures.Talks slowly, heavy accent, and teaches slow. Tests in person Fridays at 4. Scheduled a test on Good Friday. does Iclicker for attendance but gives you 6 seconds to get an answer and if you get it incorrect it counts against you. Morgans may be harder but I heard she is a way better teacher.
He was not that bad, but his lectures were pretty boring. 80% of your grade is tests, so make sure you do well on those. Overall, the class is honestly easy, all I did was review the powerpoints the day before the test and always scored As. The homework is extremely minimal as well, but make sure you show up to his class to do the polls.
He is the most boring professor I have ever had. He talks at a very low monotone volume then will suddenly mumble to pull out tophat. He gives you maximum 10 seconds to answer it and if you get it wrong it counts against you. There is a cumulative final that is 35% of your grade. There are way easier teachers for the same credit. Dont take him.
Under no circumstances should you literally ever take his class. He has zero care or respect for his students and your entire grade is boiled down to 4 tests with no curve and no drop. He had an exam the day before spring break AND on Good Friday this year. If you can, AVOID HIM. His lectures are not helpful at all, he is repetitive and boring.
Not only the worst teacher I've had at UGA, but one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Sucks at lecturers, doesn't even attempt to be engaging. Emailed him and he has not responded. He uses Achieve which is the worst platform. 4 tests for 80% and minimum 94 for A+ and doesnt round up which seems like he's just trying to fail people.
Would rather watch paint dry than go to his lectures. Mostly teach yourself.
super difficult micro Econ class. hard to understand the way he explains different concepts.
He's top G but very boring.
Content is pretty simple but always some bad ?s. 2 of the 3 exams were at 4:00 on the Friday before spring break and Easter. I'm also writing this 4 days and a few hours after taking the online multiple choice final and grades are still not released. Don't feel like he does this on purpose but he is not very accommodating. Still the goat though
While the exams were very straightforward (just study the lecture slides/hw), the hw assignments were somewhat difficult, and there is no consistent grading criteria for the hw assignments. Tophat counts as your participation grade, which I think is very harsh. For some odd reason, he waits a whole week to post the exam and hw grades.
I genuinely believe that Prof Dinkar does not like anyone... especially students. If you study really hard and teach yourself most of the content, it is achievable to get an A or B. Going to class is kinda pointless tbh (except for the iclicker which you can do from home and just guess).
This class isn't too difficult if you study outside of class. Lecture is extremely boring & I only went for the iclicker. It took way too long for exams to be entered- especially the final, which took over a week. Tests on are online, multiple choice, & in person so theres no reason grades should take that long to be released.
Took this class spring and absolutely hated it, thought it was a waste of time and efforts, save them for the other teacher. Hard class with easy material and content and lots of homework and very very test heavy, final worth 20 of your grade and very difficult
His tests were not that difficult, but he is not the best teacher. You are mainly teaching yourself. Attendance is semi-mandatory. He does clickers randomly for attendance, and you never know what days he will do them. He is also hard to understand. No extra credit or drop text, so if you do badly once you will not get an A. An A is also a 94.
He's boring but a relatively easy and straightforward A. He uses an 80$ Macmillan textbook for assignments which are all free 100s. He also has iclicker he randomly does for attendance. He is very boring but the class is straightforward. Just study well on the ppts he uploads for each unit and you should get a semi-easy A. Tests are lockdown brows
Take Morgan Taylor if possible. Tests are lockdown browser with a password only given in class. Random attendance checks and lectures are boring and unhelpful. Homeworks and quizzes are open until the day before the tests and help a little, but can also be difficult. Not very friendly or understanding. He and TAs are hard to reach.
Wouldn't recommend Dink to my worst enemy. Boring, hard to understand, and has a genuine hatred for all of his students.
Depsite what some of the other reviews say about Dink, he was not that bad of a professor. He is knowledgeable about Econ. He is boring, but prepares you well for exams. Homework and quizzes come from the online textbook and class lectures. Pay attention and you should have a High B or an A.
if you're confused about the content he's willing to explain it to you and ive heard it helps, the content is pretty standard but the exams are pretty straightforward, but there's a lockdown browser and closed book. if you need to take econ2106 he's not a bad professor but the lectures start to blur together so try and make a study group to do well
Don't know why he is rated this poorly. He is not bad, and is pretty easy. Slightly hard to understand at times, but is not a problem.
Overall, this is not a hard class, but he somehow makes it very complicated. Lectures and the textbook are both boring and confusing, and it is a chore to go to his class. However, the tests are fair and the homeworks aren't too bad, so it is not the worst class to take.
Dinkar's lectures are boring and make it hard to want to get up early to go to his class. However, the material is not too hard, and as long as you study a little out of class you should do fine. Grade is 80% tests 16% learning curve assignments and quizzes, and 4% iClicker. Not the best option but not a bad option
Never in my life have I despised a course as much as microeconomics. This class made me change majors out of Terry entirely. Sincerely, A now pre-vet student
He's a perfectly fine professor just go to class and pay attention because he goes over the material very well with ample examples.
While Dinkar isn't the best professor out there, he isn't a bad one by any means and a fine option for ECON 2106. He's difficult to understand at times, but his lectures are straight forward and his tests aren't that difficult if you pay attention to his lectures and study a little bit outside of class. Don't understand why people are complaining.
He got through the content, but it felt rush and he was a little boring. It was hard to go to the class knowing that the lectures were boring, especially a 9am. There are only three tests, but he does drop the lowest grade. He's nice overall. If you don't pay attention you will have to relearn outside of class.
If you take an econ, take him! His class is super straight forward and clear on expectations. He uses an online textbook with practice questions to go with each chapter. The practice questions go in the gradebook as participation grades, and you have a month to turn stuff in. His exams are pretty easy and he keeps the questions simple. I love him.
I barely showed up to class and got an A but lost a few points to attendance. You can get by with reading the textbook and slides a week before an exam and learn everything on your own cause his lectures are pretty slow. But I also average 91 on all exams so you could probably do better if you did pay attention but everything is multiple choice.
Showing up to class is a waste of time. All you need to do is read the textbook a week before the exam, go over the HW & practice exams, and you'll get an A. Exams are identical to the HWs & practice exams. TopHat at end of class, so be prepared, but only 5% of grade. Overall, boring professor but fair and easy exams with little work.
Was not a particularly engaging professor, but you could access everything you needed out side of class. He does iclickers as a participation grade, but if you can get someone to send them to you and keep up with the info outside of class, you typically don't have to go. I used Jacob Clifford's micro videos to study and did fine.
so. boring. teaches in a confusing matter and the tests are 50% your grade with the final being 30%. if you can't teach yourself and aren't strong with tests, DO NOT TAKE.
Good professor, not bad by any means. His lectures were a bit hard to follow, and the content taught in class was a more simplified version of the content on exams. Keep up with the assignments and review the content periodically, and you will be fine.
Course is relatively easy and attendance is not required. Study the textbook and hw/quizzes and you'll be fine. Class is lecture heavy and the lectures are somewhat boring.
Maybe not the most fascinating guy, but lectures are extremely straightforward and you should be able to get an A relatively easily. If you're into environmental issues, you might find this class pretty interesting.
He definitely is not the most interesting professor, but he is very straightforward. There are 3 test and he drops the lowest (they're 50% of your grade). The final is worth 30%. The test are in person, but I would still recommend taking him. They are very similar to the practice test and examples he uses in class.
Not the most interesting professor, but as long as you pay attention to lectures and study some on your own you will do fine.
If there was a bare-minimum for being a competent college professor, Dinkar sit rights on that line. This class is fairly easy as long as you show up for the lectures and read the textbook if you need it, but Dinkar does a very subpar job facilitating interest in the subject. His lectures carry no emotion or intrigue. Take someone else if you can.
Proferssor Dinkar is a safe option for 2106. He's not an engaging lecturer, but the class isn't too difficult. As long as you study the slides, you will be fine. Overall, he's a decent choice for 2106.
Great professor!
Just a very straightforward guy, not super interesting but if you study you can get an A. He drops a lot of your lowest grades which comes in super clutch. Would def recommend him
between the simple things in class and control f for the textbook, the homework is not hard, but it is weekly. The tests are pretty much the same as the homework. You do need to go to class for attendance, but if you are even remotely paying attention then you will get an A.
Attendance was required despite not always taking attendance. All notes are posted. Extremely boring class.
Very straightforward and tells you everything you need to know for the tests. Pretty light workload. As long as you pay attention and go to class you will be successful.
The lectures aren't the most exciting but neither is econ. His lectures are textbook are easy to understand if you pay attention. Tests make up 50% of the grade and the final is 30%, but the assignments are basically guaranteed 100s and they are due the night before the exam, which there are only 3 of.
The class is basically a few tests and the final exam. The only hw are a few online assignments that take 30min-1hr and are guaranteed 100%. The test questions are just as hard as the example questions from the slideshow. Very straightforward and no curveballs.
Dinkar may be boring, but he explains everything so clearly, and his tests are very easy and straightforward. I would 1000% take this class again. I am now in Macro with Kaminski, and the difference is so crazy.
This professor is pretty good, not great, but not bad. Just be prepared for iClickers. His quizzes and tests are easy just go over his presentations.
Not sure why he has so many bad reviews. Lectures can be boring but if you show up and take notes you'll do fine on the exams. Pretty average professor I wouldn't mind taking him again. Sometimes does iClicker for class participation.
Very monotone and drones on, and therefore very difficult to understand. His slides are horrible, his lectures are 50% reading directly off of them and 50% handwriting notes that he doesn't post, and he doesn't give any indication on what exams will look like.
He is boring, but not a bad teacher at all. He covers everything that will be on the tests and provides a review for the test as well. The people that don't like him probably did not go to class to take notes and therefore didn't get a good attendance grade. My advice: study a few days before the test and go to class and you'll get an A.
His class is honestly not that bad, it is just unbelievably boring. He posts all of his slides and reads straight off of them, but still requires you to come for daily iClicker question. His tests aren't that bad, pretty similar to his practice exams. Some of the definitions on the exam will be very precise, so make sure to study specifics.
Pretty boring lectures but not difficult class at all. Homework due right before test days. Tests are similar to homework questions, not difficult if you study a little bit. Iclicker most days for attendance. Not bad at all.
Boring, but it is an easy class. Just show up, and do the (very minimal) homework, study a bit and you'll be good. Beware of in class iclicker quizzes for attendance.
So boring. Take anyone else. Not that hard tho
He is a wonderful teacher because of how easy the tests are. He gives all the information you need to pass with flying colors on his lecture slides which he posts all at the start of the semester, and he gives you practice tests and goes over them. He can drag on in lectures but overall a good pick for a microeconomics course.
This man is so boring. He reads directly off his slides, but does iClicker for attendance. The homework isn't difficult but most of your grade is based off 3 exams. Some questions have confusing wording, but they're not that hard. Take anyone else if you can. He offers no extra credit but he drops your lowest test score.
He's not the most interesting man in the world but it's a very straightforward class. There are often in-class iClicker quizzes to check for attendance, but he drops the bottom 10% of them in case you miss class. Lowest test score is also dropped. Just study a bit and you'll be fine!
Very boring. Tough grader. Would not recommend taking him.
Dinkar's lectures were very boring. Not many examples given and information is read straight from the slides. 3 tests (lowest dropped) and 1 cumulative required final. The tests had confusing questions at times, but they are doable if you study enough for them.
He is a good generous professor, he has a monotone voice but I don't see that as a reason to rate him so poorly, I learned a lot in this class and it inspired me to do a minor in environmental economics and management (Im not a STEM major). Graded by 3 exams, a final, Iclicker and learning curve assignments, exams hard but not if you study enough.
Professor Kuchibhota requires attendance through a graded iClicker, so attendance is mandatory. Other than that, the class is very manageable if you're consistent with reading the textbook chapters before each exam. Very reasonable amount of homework for the time given to complete it.
Honestly I love Dr. K, sure his lectures may be monotone, but the class in itself is easy as long as you stay on track. Anyone who complains has got to be used to having their hand held all throughout life.
Dr. K is a monotone lecturer but as long as you follow his slides and take decent notes this class should be fine for you. Graded only on Tests, a final, and Iclickers which count as attendance grade but he does not do it every class. Lecture slides are the only examples but go with the tests well. Overall not a bad class to take.
Dinkar was chill but sometimes doesn't explain concepts too well, tests weren't that bad. He does iclicker most days for participation
If you remember some concepts of microeconomics, take notes, and put in some time for study, you should be fine.
Why he has so much bad reviews, I get his lecture style is boring, but his exam is a fair game and easy as hell. I didn't even went to class for like 3-4 weeks, and still got an A. Unstuck AI, solving his handouts, practice problems, then this class is an easy A.
I don't understand why he has bad reviews. Professor Kuchibhota was an AMAZING teacher and did attendance through IClicker. He had engaging lectures and posted practice tests and worksheets. The quizzes were online and we could retake it as well. The tests were pretty easy. He is a great person and I would highly recommend everyone to take him.
Not a very high RMP rating, but it is because he is very monotone lecturer. The tests are worth a good portion of the grade, but he makes them very similar to the homeworks and examples in class. Overall not a hard class, but very test heavy.
I think these reviews overhate on him a tad bit. Yes the lectures can be super boring and he can be kina rude at times, but in general he doesnt do anything to intentionally make his class hard, the grade is almost all based off the tests, so just go listen to his lectures and study for the tests and youll be fine.
Dinkar is a very boring lecturer and speaks in monotone. He just reads off the slides so it doesn't help that much. Attendance is taken based off iclicker. There isn't that much homework and the quizzes are online and you get two attempts. The tests were often much harder than examples in class and you need to study a lot to well on the tests.
Dinkar is a straight-up professor and nothing else. He tells you what he expects from the first day and gives you many study resources. The tests are in person with a lockdown browser and are pretty hard. If you need this class for your major Id take him because he explains topics pretty clearly.
This professor is so incredibly knowledgeable. He does not hesitate to jump into lectures and expects you to follow along. Get ready this course subjectively is "not easy". But if you attend lectures, study, complete the Achieve assignments in a timely manner you will succeed. The tests are not hard they are genuinely what we go over in class.
He was a great professor overall. His lectures are very boring and it is hard not to fall asleep. Exams were straightforward but each one is worth 25% of grade so study hard. He does drop worst quiz and worst exam. Attendance isnt mandatory but he does random iClickers which are worth part of your grade,
His class isn't hard if you show up and do the homework and the practice exams, but he is really rude. He doesn't sympathize with students at all
Professor Kuchibhotla is an underrated microeconomics teacher! His lectures are very straightforward and are posted online, making the class easy to follow. He is a really nice guy and is happy to answer any questions that students have. I'm pretty sure he also drops the lowest test score, and all the quizzes are taken online at your own pace!
Decent professor and the class itself is boring since it's about environmental economics. As long as you pay attention do all the study guide and HW you will pass the exams. 2 exams and 1 final worth 35% and a few HW assignment. BEWARE of TOPHAT it is random and that will be your attendance grades.
Tests are very similar to homework. Final is 35% of grade but has repeat questions from first two exams. Tophat and homework aren't bad at all
Great professor for a course that can be found dull. He teaches everything well and writes out helpful examples not found in the slides. Tests are really straight forward and easy, all multiple choice. He drops the lowest exam grade and your lowest quiz grade. Make sure you don't miss lectures, he does iClicker (tophat) at the end of class.
Easy class. Dinkar is great, but very monotone and boring. His class is easy, just read his slides again before class and it is an easy A.
Dinkar is a fine professor yet it is very confusing and he is not very easy to access outside of class. It is a tough subject matter and it involves a lot of self-teaching. It's not enough to just go to class, you need to actually attentively take notes and review. He has very bland lectures which is tough when the course work is hard.
He is boring, but I think going to class is very important. His tests are very similar to the learning curve/quizzes and practice tests, so do them. If you are good at econ it will be pretty easy, if not then study a lot. Overall, not many complaints but go to class. Uses iclicker for attendance, but not all the time. (drops an exam!) I recommend.
Dr. Kuchibhota was a very thorough, but monotonous lecturer. I found myself nodding off in his class, but if you want to get a good grade you need to go and do all of the reading and practice tests. In reality it is 3 tests that make up the majority of your grade, so don't think you can just go to class and be fine. He takes attendance sometimes.
Grade DEFLATOR. Tests are a large percentage of your grade in this class. Went to every lecture and still struggled. He did not lecture for the 3 weeks leading up to the final. It was very difficult. Take a diff prof.
Not as easy as everyone says. Need to show up to class for attendance. Exams are similar enough to the exam practice questions.
Very straightforward lecturer. Tests were never too hard. Class is designed to mostly benefit the student.
Great class and very straightforward. He explains the material very slowly, allowing everyone to understand. The practice tests are basically the same as the tests as well. Do the practice tests and attend the lecture, and you will be fine.
Dinkar is a very straightfoward guy. His lectures are very monotone and its easy to get bored but he is very open to questions. iClicker is for attendance most days. The exams are not impossible as long as you study.
Easy class
Easy class, show up to class for daily tophat questions. If you do the HW and understand it, you'll be fine on the exams. Use his PPT slides and HW for exam prep. The exams were fairly easy.
The professor moves very fast and is hard to understand. Study very hard for exams
Dinkar was okay, he explained how to do the problems once in class and not much else. More of a class where you teach on your own. The class is a hard class specifically for an undergrad for Terry. 3 tests and a final making 80% of your grade. I recommend studying the homework as much as you can, but if you don't do well on a test, there's a drop.
Worst class and worst teacher! Hard to understand. Made this economics class much harder than it should be. Dinkar was very rude and arrogant. His lectures are very boring and did not align with his tests. He was never available and was condescending when you ask him anything. Avoid this teacher at all costs, no matter what class he teaches.
This class was extremely easy; however, I had to fully teach myself the material. I took notes from the textbook outside of class and only showed up to class to do the TopHat questions. If you read from the textbook and prep for a day or two before each test, you'll get an A. Not a lot work besides notes so would take again.
Worst class/professor ever! Extremely hard to follow. Made economics way harder than it needed to be. Dinkar was rude, dismissive, and full of himself. His lectures were dull and disconnected from exams. Rarely available and acted superior when approached. Avoid him entirely, regardless of the course.
Class is alright. He is not engaging at all. The amount of times I've fallen asleep in this class is unbelievable. he seems like a nice dude but he genuinely just reads off a slide. No one in the classes pay attention at all, literally everyone's screen is everything but his class slides.
Class is mid. He is not engaging during class and most of the time only half of the class or less actually goes. The tests are mainly based off of the homeworks and practice exam. Nobody really pays attention everyone is there for the tophat at the end of the class. You can pretty much teach yourself everything in the course in like 2 days.
Yes, he's boring, but the tests are incredibly similar to the practice exams, and the content itself isn't horrible. Before each test I'd teach everything to myself and do fine. You really don't even need to go besides for the iclicker. I would recommend!
just a rude guy overall, doesn't seem to enjoy teaching and doesn't really explain anything well. iclicker for attendance and its based on correction.
super easy course and easy teacher no outside work you just have to study for tests.
If you can learn from reading a Macmillan textbook, taking notes and memorizing, this is the class for you. Just go to class for the I-clicker and use the class time as a study hall for whatever you need to do. Test are basically the practice exam. Everyone is over-complaining tbh.
Good teacher if you need the credit. Most material is common sense, and paying attention in class makes it easier to understand. His lectures are slow and can get kinda boring, but he really cares about his students. Study a couple days before each test and you'll be solid.
This class would have been much easier had I taken a different professor. I attended every class without an absence and still struggled heavily. It wasn't entirely his fault I will say econ is not my strong suit, however I genuinely felt like everything was self taught meanwhile other friends of mine were actually learning the content in class.
Dinkar is fine. If you're looking for an easy Econ, maybe don't take this because you have to do work. The concepts are not hard but they are incredibly boring. Quizzes and tests are fair. He does have a heavy accent so if you don't like that, don't take him. Tophat geolocation attendance, awkward silence after questions, okay class
Easy exams very similar to homeworks and your only grades are the tophats, homeworks, and exams. Tophat attendance is the only annoying part of the class, other than that take the class for easy elective.
Horrible teacher. Lectures are hard to follow and attendance is mandatory taken through participation questions at the end of class. Exams are hard and gives you no prep. Practice questions are nothing like the exam. Homeworks are useless. Easy to get 100 on homework but doesnt help u for exam. Drops 1 lowest test, 2 hw and 1 quiz.
In my opinion, super chill. Practice exams and homework are very similar to the tests, also finding Quizlets online to study helps A LOT. Attendance is not mandatory, and iClicker counts for a small portion of your grade.
I would take Dinkar over Morgan Taylor for Micro any day of the week. You have to actually put in work but, sometimes people are not used to that. He explains stuff clearly and only teaches you what you need to know. Def had to study for the tests but he drops the lowest one. Attendance is 4% of final grade but going to class helps.
Honestly not a bad course, I would take Dinkar again. Coursework is very manageable, but you'll do better if you don't wait till the last minute to do everything. Exams and quizzes were very easy and straightforward as long as you study. Lectures are pretty boring, but he does iclicker for attendence. Good option if u need the credit!
His class is incredibly easy and should be an easy A if you have half a pulse. However, if you want to actually learn something that has any relevance to the real world or want to have a teacher that cares about what they are teaching and/or engages with their class and expands how they think, never take this teacher.
dinkar goated take this dude for micro
Would take again
Exams are so easy, I studied for like two days before and aced them and I'm not smart like that. Lectures are painfully boring, but he seems to care about what he teaches. Attendance is a top hat question that he asks at the end of class on random days, its 5% of your grade.
take for Econ 2100, best professor I've ever had my 3 years here at UGA
Dinkar's fine, I just found his class extremely boring. The content itself is redundant, a lot of it is based on micro/macro concepts. That and him being monotone made it very easy to pass out in his class. On the bright side, the class is ridiculously easy and you can ace exams studying the day before. Def take over ECON 2200.
Dinkar was easy to tune out, but the class was very easy. The exams are 85% of your grade, but if you study a little bit beforehand, you'll do fine. A lot of the content just seemed to be regurgitated content from micro/macro as well.
Respectable and knowledgeable professor. His exams aren't too hard, but some are worded quite subjectively. I would take a different professor simply due to the fact that the lectures are not engaging.
I highly recommend Dr. K for this class. The lectures and exams are straightforward. He explains the content slowly and clearly. The class is pretty test heavy, but they are quite easy if you study and do the homework and the practice exams. He does IClicker for attendance, but he drops the lowest 10%. He drops the lowest midterm. Great professor!
this class is so doable and it's easy to get a good grade. he didn't really teach much but do it for the grade. homework is easy and you get one test drop. very test heavy tho but the tests get easier as the semester continues.
80% of the final grade is covered by exams, which often include challenging questions that are difficult to anticipate or prepare for. Attendance is mandatory, even though the lectures are boring. Additionally, iClicker questions are graded based on accuracy with a 50% penalty for incorrect responses. Overall, I would not recommend him.
Easy class, definitely could've gotten an A if it weren't for silly questions I missed on exams. Class is super straightforward, lectures are boring but he posts all the slides. Practice sample tests help a lot and he uses iclicker for attendance. Pretty chill class, I thought he was a good professor.
Dr. K's class is light on homework and is easy for the diligent student. He is a bit more on the monotone side but I didn't see that as a detractant. Most of the teaching material is available on elc but he does some in-class examples. He can be a bit forward and intimidating, but he means well and isn't trying to trick you (on tests too)!
Kuchibotla is easier compared to the other professor because he covers less content. However, I personally didn't like him. I felt that he made exams much more challenging than the practice exams and he was hard to approach if you had questions. He can be very intimidating and sound a bit rude.
He honestly was such a good professor. He can get a little repetitive at times but if you like someone that will go over a topic multiple times then he will be amazing for you! If you just go to class and take notes you'll do fine.
Attendance is important (uses iclicker for partic. but drops 10%). Lectures were pretty boring but he explains A LOT, I will say I learned better by myself rather than in class. The test avgs were 85+ but you definitely need to study (no curves). He can be pretty dismissive to questions but he was chill overall. Go to tutoring if needed!!
Overall, Dinkar was a great professor! He knows what he's talking about and provides great examples. The course is quite test heavy, but he drops your lowest score, so only 2 of 3 exams count, but final exam is non-optional. Just show up to class, do the iclicker and you'll do fine! He doesn't have an accent I don't know where that came from. Love!
I wouldn't recommend. Lectures are extremely monotone and robotic. He's lowkey a bot and talks like a washed GPT 3.5. I stopped paying attention in class and taught myself and scored higher on the exams. I will not be applying anything I learned in this class to the real world and I'll bet you won't either. Look for another class if you can.
