Calculus I in 8 weeks is a scary scary thing, prepare to surrender your life. Ocean of HW, 4 @ home exams (open book) and a comprehensive final @ HCC(calculator only, no cards). I had zero communications with this prof. Thanks to YouTube and Khan I scratched out a C, which magically turned to a B due to some secret mystery curve. Yikes and whew.

this professor does not know how to be a math professor. his tests are out of control, impossible to do. i do not recommend. i have no idea how he has a 4.0 rate with the way the class is. his online class is on autopilot. he has no communication skills. no lectures. way too much homework, something like 100 questions per section of each chapter.
