Raux uses pedagogy, so you basically teach yourself the course and then he just goes over the homework. The main things about this class to remember is to always read your book in advance, so you'll be ready for the quizzes, do the homework every single night, and NEVER miss class. Raux's an excellent teacher who gets a bad rep. TAKE PROF. RAUX!!
