Lander said it in his course outline. Come to class, come prepared, ask questions when you don't understand and you'll be fine. Anyone who didn't do that has no right to complain. He cares, he answers my questions by email the same day, he helps me in office hours, he smiles, he is patient. I want to take all of my courses with him. Le Mielleur!
First I want to say, I'm not an Econ student. If you are the type of person that needs examples, to study and not just theory.. DON'T TAKE HIM. He explains very well... but doesn't do one example in class... But I won't lie... he explains very well... but sometimes that isn't enough.
His class is very interesting, but not helpful for the exams.You have to spend a lot of time studying on your own in order to do well in the exams. He disagree with the textbook a lot, which make it very confusing between studying materials and what he teaches in class.I won't recommend him, unless grade is not a problem to you.
he still not use to the concordia way of making a midterm he had the lowest ave of all classes of econ due to the fact he gave us a midterm that was completely different from what we studied. also he's the only teacher that actually takes into account all the labs on lyric
Don't recommend him at all. He is not helpful. He is s pessimistic person. His midterm was extremely hard. Most of the students drop a course after midterm. He does not explain the important materials in the book.
He doesn't use the textbook or powerpoint, he says the textbook is wrong and explains other ways to get different answers that are in fact true, but not what they will ask you on the exam (it will be your responsibility to know what to answer). He doesnt answer questions by email that he already explained in class and will tell u to go office hours
He is a nice teacher but his explanations are not so helpful. You need to read the book in order to understand. However, this teacher makes life much more difficult because he says that the textbook is wrong. You need to attend class or else you would miss a lot. Avoid if you can!!
He says how the textbook is wrong which makes it hard for students to study. You need to put a lot of time aside just to understand the concepts of this course. Very hard teacher. However, he is really nice and has a great sense of humor.
My BEST class ever. I wasn't interested in Macro but he made it very interesting for me. The text book wasn't really good,but I think department choose the textbook, not Mr Lander.He taught A FEW subjects in a different way than the textbook and this made some of the students confused but take your own notes in class and you don't have any problem
worst teacher ever.
AWESOME PROF!!!! Super helpful, if you take the time to do the work, this is university people, stop being lazy! He has office hours and dedicated 3 whole days for questions before exam. Midterm was so easy since it was his, but final was death since it was the departments. TAKE HIM AS YOUR PROF IF YOU CAN.
Dont take this prof at all if you just want a good grade. His explanations go way too far for what you need to know and this makes the course very confusing. If you are actually interested in macroeconomincs he may be a good teacher. On the other hand, I emailed him days before the final and told me that already answered to that question in class..
This is a good economics professor, he is really interesting to listen. He's passionate and it shows. On the other hand, even if I listented carefully, took notes, being interested, read the textbook, did all the exercises, I felt like I was really not well prepared for the exams. Also, the textbook is horribly boring and confusing.
Nice and approachable teacher, but makes the class too complicated. The book is your best friend, do the exercise, go to all classes and tutorials. If you want to have a hard time then take this class.
The guy is funny and his lectures are challenging, yet entertaining. No matter who the teacher is, ECON203 is a HARD course. But with the help of his clear and concise class notes, work on the past finals over and over again and you will be good.
Lander is a great professor, ECON 203 is not the easiest course. But Lander is super helpful. Work hard, attend all classes, go to his office hours, he even lets u record his classes if u want because he tends to speak a bit fast but not to the extend that u can't catch what he is saying. The textbook wasn't really helpful.
He's a really nice guy and explains topics well. The final exam is extremely well and he does not give enough examples during class. Go see him during office hours, he is really helpful.
Classes are interesting and fun. Do all Tutorials and Labs and show up to classes and office hours and you will be good. Tough class but great teacher. Take SOS tutoring for the final and you will be good.
Loves teaching, he transmits his love for economics trough the class. Make sure you do your labs, show to class and take notes and you'll do good. Practice makes perfect, don't be afraid to ask questions or send him e-mails via outlook web app, he responds very quickly as he cares a lot about everyone's learning. Smart guy, nice teacher, very funny
This was my second class with Lander,I love his approach to teaching and his humour. However, when taking his classes, especially higher level courses, make sure you have strong math skills and really master econ basics because his exams are unforgiving and he does not provide many practice problems. Would love to get a beer with him though
I didn't do as well as I had hoped in the class, nevertheless, I still learned a lot. Professor Landers makes a lot of real world references when lecturing, which ultimately makes the material more understandable. The textbook and tutorials sucked.
Definitely not an easy marker, but a great teacher. If you go to all his classes and understand basic economics it is very possible to do well in his classes. Ask questions and go to office hours and you should be fine
Awesome prof. Go see him if you need help. Super friendly and provides good explanations. Want to take more classes with him !
Took him for ECON421 and was basically a C average. Studied hard and went to his office hours finished with an A- ! Amazingly good teacher very knowledgeable !!
you gotta show up to classes and take good notes, and even collaborate with classmates by reviewing and decomposing the material together. show up to class, and don't expect to learn too much about sports, this is an econ class through and through. Heavy Midterm and Final, be ready
Fabulous prof, totally makes the subject come to life and he's hilarious. Tests aren't too hard, all MC and maybe 10% of them are tricky.
Overall Amazing Teacher. Keeps it real and interesting
Good Prof, but doesn't come off to be the nicest guy. He definitely knows the material very well, though the way that he explains things can sometimes be confusing. Nothing is easy in his class..
He's very funny and makes class interesting
Very good Teacher, he is always there to answer your question. Makes you relate Econ to life.
Memorable teacher and good lecturer. Very outspoken about the value of capitalism, the strength of the free market, and ideas such as "poor people are poor because of bad choices". While I can't call them "real world observations", he always supports his views with economic theory, and this was just as educational as the actual class content was.
ECON is not really my thing, but he made it interesting and funny so the informations is easy to retain. Loved this teacher, would definitely take again !
Very good teacher. Makes the class interesting and uses real life examples that are relevant to those pursuing a career in economics in the future. Class material is tough but if you ask him any problems you have he will answer them clearly. Show up to class, he was the coordinator for mine and he gave a lot of hints on tests and assignments
Overall, econ 201 with Moshe was much easier than any other teacher
Awesome teacher! He makes you love economics. He always has anecdotes to explain every topic. For ECON201, just attend his lectures, and you'll know everything there is to know. Very inspirational guy!
Great class! Lectures are very interesting, and he helps a lot with his examples. He loves to make the class laugh. Easy mid-term! great proff
He makes class laugh but his tests are hard. Try to avoid him as much as possible particularly summer classes.
Well, the Great Prof Store called, and they're running out of him
Best professor I've ever had. Amazingly inspirational and makes the class very interesting. Keeps to the course material but occasionally applies real world situations that are very relevant and insightful.
Lander is probably the best teacher at Concordia. He is highly passionate about economics and makes the lectures fun and captivating. He uses a ton of examples and is genuinely funny. He's a super nice guy and is always ready to answer questions. Exams were pretty easy; study his notes and you'll get an A. Would definitely take him again!
Lander is definitely an excellent professor. It is notable that he is very knowledgeable in Economics and he does not hide his enthusiasm for it. His constant jokes and anecdotes made this class a real pleasure to take.
Definitely take him U WON'T REGRET ur decision. He is funny, inspiring and always ready to help. Just read the notes he gives and u would get an easy A. Just DON'T SKIP LECTURES. Gives great real life expenses. I was an international student in my first semester. His class was probably the best decision i made in my first semester.
He is an extremely good professor. I would definitely take him again if given the chance. The material itself is not very easy but he tries his best to make as interesting and as understandable for the student. He is clear in his expectations and is always there if you need feedback, or have any kind of questions.
Ok, so this teacher can make microeconomics really interesting and funny by using day to day examples. Seriously if you can't get into his class, just attend his lectures anyways! The course isn't complicated per say, but don't expect an A+, what other teachers don't tell you is that the department forces them to give 50% of students a C or less.
Moshe Lander is most likely the best Prof in the economics department, he knows exactly what he's talking about and expresses the material in such a way that everybody understands. The amount of examples Moshe generates is incredible. He answers his emails in a heartbeat and the midterm was on the easy side. WOULD TAKE AGAIN
Amazing prof! I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Gives you plenty of material to help you study for the midterm and final such as tutorials and assignments. They are extremely similar to the midterm. If you put in the effort you will do great in this class. It really shows that he loves teaching and wants his students to do well
Lander is a hilarious and very passionate teachers. However, if you don't attend class, you're most likely going to miss some important information. I personally didn't like his class only because it was in a very large auditorium where it was hard to hear and see. His exams are decent, good grades are fairly easy to get as long as you listen!
He is one of the best econ teachers ive ever had, i am not someone who liked economics but he made it super interesting!! I surprised his rating isnt higher, the only reason why you would get a bad grade in his class is because you don't show up. Easy midterm you just got to listen in class :)
great prof. make sure you show up
Honestly, for all you first years out there, don't take this teacher. He is such a good teacher that he will set the bar way too high for your future business teachers haha. All jokes aside, Prof. Lander is an absolute professional, I extremely enjoyed attending everyone of his classes.
This was my 1st semester in Concordia, and I am so glad I picked Dr. Landers class, he explains everything very clearly. He also relates the topics being discussed to relevant situations in real life. This makes everything very easy to understand and remember. All you have to do is make sure you attend all the lectures and take good notes.
One of the funniest teacher ever! This class made me realize how everything can be perceived in an economic standpoint. I enjoyed every single class of his.
I absolutely LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!! The class is very hard (starts off easy and gets harder) so you need to always make sure to be up to date with the weekly tutorials, class notes, exercises... It is important not to get behind because everything is related. He is always here to help during office hours and SO hilirious. Love him and such a smart guy.
Absolutely loved this teacher! This was my first semester & I am so glad I took him for ECON221. You have to go to class bc he explains everything in detail but makes it so easy to learn that you wouldn't even need the textbook! The midterm is exactly like the assignments (3 total) so if you do all your work & keep up to date, you'll do great :)
Really great teacher - explains the material in a very clear and understandable way. Very entertaining class as he has a great sense of humour. Highly recommend him!
take this professor and you won't regret.
Great teacher. He is able to connect his lectures to real life matters. I suggest to go to every class since he will make you understand tough parts from the textbook. Very funny and it is a pleasure to attend his lectures.
If you love structure, order, effective lectures, and appreciate professionalism and a sense of urgency , take him. He goes above and beyond all expectations and he's devoted to your success. I was a mathphobe and bombed the first assignment, but he kept appealing to my drive, became my voice of reason with great advice, and I got an A+ in the end.
Great Proffessor. H really knows what he's talking about. Attendance is not mandatory; however, he explains everything that you need to know. He gives funny examples that help you remember what he's talking about.
My experience with Lander can be summed up by 'woah'. He keeps it very real and makes you reflect. You'll crack up at least once a class and will start thinking in economics perspective A LOT. He makes the material interesting and gives concrete examples to help you reinvest info. Midterm was pretty easy (avg 72) but final is a bit more challenging
Moshe Lander is so inspiring I understood everything he said and I actually liked going to his classes, It was pretty hard for me since it was my first business related class even though I studied a lot, But He's the best, So sad he had to leave :(
If you have the chance, don't hesitate to take Lander. Concordia needs more econ profs like him.
His lectures are amazing but his exams are heavy. I dont know why but the class average was very low... and the finals were crazy. If you are willing to take Lander and get a good GPA, please work hard and DONT SKIP CLASSES. there is no textbook and his notes are super helpful
Overall great teacher, unfortunately the lack of greats at the 300 level courses puts us at a disadvantage in the class, because more is expected. The midterm average was pretty low and the final was crazy. But honestly one of the most interesting classes I've taken!
His passion for Economics resonates with his lectures and makes you feel passionate about the subject too. He's very accessible outside class, but you have to work hard and show interest (which is not hard with his lectures). Make sure you always read the chapter before every class. The fact that he teaches you to understand and not memorize is a +
I failed his class 3 times for 201, one day he comes in pyjamas the other days he comes in a dress shirt. He always wears earphones I don't know why. He can speak 11 languages so thats good, it turns me on its so hot. His exams are really hard but if you put in a lot of work you will succeed take take take at all cost.
Best economics prof at Concordia by far. His exams are very difficult, but they get curved. He knows the economics like the back of his hand, and this allows him to give a really good lecture. Crazy to say that his classes are more productive, engaging, and enjoyable than all of my others. Take him if you want to learn something.
I took his online class and his lecture was okay. Conceptionally the course is not so hard but the exam was super hard (It was not like past exam he posted) but I guess he curved the exam.
Had Prof Lander for ECON 465. The class is difficult, however, if you show up for class, are engaged in the discussions and put in the work, it is more than worth it. Prof. Lander was my absolute favourite professor during my undergrad. It is too bad I only got to take a course with him in my last year.
Had Prof Lander for ECON 491. The class is difficult, however, if you show up for class, are engaged in the discussions and put in the work, it is more than worth it. Prof. Lander was my absolute favourite professor during my undergrad. It is too bad I only got to take a course with him in my last year.
Professor Lander is the hardest professor in the Econ Department, he goes out of his way to make life difficult. He's an extraordinary orator and class is enjoyable. The Optimal Contract model is just not explained well at all. It's absurd that he expects students to have perfect attendance when he blows off class because he doesn't feel like it.
An amazing teacher that knows his material really well. I highly recommend taking him, he's highly entertaining as well.
( I had him for Econ 331) Dr. Lander is incredibly intelligent, and will not hand out good grades for fun. His lectures are entertaining, engaging and overall insightful. Expect to get slammed with homework, and also exams that have no business being that hard. side note: all the reviews on Con U and McGill that are 4-4 are probably him #exposed
Lander is probably the best economics professor in Montreal, maybe even Canada. This was the greatest class I've ever taken.
I'm a huge fan of professor Lander, if you have a chance to take a class with him I wholeheartedly recommend you do so. Yes, any class with him will be very hard, but you will learn a lot and improve.
great prof, but creates very difficult exams
Excellent professor. Helped me a lot with personal projects outside of the class, and extremely knowledgable in his field. This is NOT going to be an easy A though. You are really going to have to work for it, so if you love economics then this is definitely the professor you want. I'm going to continue taking him for every class I can.
Likes to mess with your head. If you want to just pass the class, he is not for you. He has very strong opinions and is honest, yet, patient if he thinks you are a hard-working student. Take any of the classes he offers if you have a genuine appreciation for the subject. Avoid if you have no intention to learn because he will treat you accordingly.
Lander is a great professor, his lectures made economics enjoyable. He's also hilarious. He's great at using everyday examples to help you grasp topics. You have to study for the midterm and final, but if you attend lectures and pay attention, you shouldn't have much trouble in exams.
Had him for ECON201. Moshe Lander is a great lecturer, and clearly has a passion for economics. He makes the course fun and relatable to everyday life situations, and I believe his course gives you your best bang for the buck (as he says). If you are in University to really learn and pay attention, then I suggest taking him whenever you can!
His lectures are very good and he's a charismatic professor.. Mid term was alright, but the final was one of the hardest exams I've ever had. Luckily grade was curved.
Really funny but cocky Papers are super hard
Lander is one of the best professors i've ever had. His lectures are amazing and keep you interested. However, beware of the final exam as i had an A+ on both my midterm and labs but ended up getting a B+ on the course after i barely studied for the final thinking it was easy. Also, do not skip class.
BEST university teacher! You definitely need to go to class to pass but his lectures go by really quickly and he is available, respected, funny and teaches really well. He gives clear examples and it is easy to get an A if you attend class and work on the theory. Very passionate and the auditorium was always full.
Lander is one of the best profs I have at the uni. He does give work to do which is hard to keep up with if you have a full course load but he is lot better than all other profs in the econ department. He is a hilarious man but super serious about his class. Absolutely no complaints, I would definitely take him again.
My favorite teacher for all time. I made my friend watch his class (pre-record due to pandemic), so interesting. He's funny and explain everything SO GOOD. My first language is french so its hard sometimes to understand properly in class but the way he speak is so easy to understand. RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.
BEST teacher I ever had at Concordia. His lectures are funny and the way he teaches makes the content very easy to understand and more interesting. If you do the homework and listen in class, it's an easy A. DEFINETELY recommend to take him as soon as you get the chance.
Final was 15-20 pages long. The math is really intense here. Lectures are ok, gives the general idea. 0 way to practice your knowledge to study for exams. No books or outside material as everything is from Lander. Worst ECON course I taken. Which is a shame as the topic is cool. Why is there so much math for a course on sports?
I don't know how he is in person, but online hes horrible. Never answers his emails, office hours are "first come first serve" and always packed. We're the ones paying but cant even get this guy to answer a simple question. He thinks he's funny, but his jokes are bad. 20 page impossible final exam to top it all off. Waste of $400 for this course.
The only thing about him is that he is an amazing lecturer! That's it! Apart from that he has many problems: he wants to make tests unnecessary difficult; the text book and his lectures were two different things; even his weekly assignments didn't prepared us for the final exam. In the exam, we didn't have enough time to even read questions!
Lectures were easy and entertaining. Opinionated and large ego but in a humourous way. Textbook not necessary for exams but helpful if you didnt quite understand the lecture. Homework assignments had some content from the book that wasn't in the lecture (which he warned us) but I only accessed it to 'crtl+f' the assignment questions I wasnt sure of
He is not only a good professor but also an interesting lecturer. I enjoyed his every joke and he always make a clear introduction through an easy example. If you want to get a reply from your professor quickly, he is your first choice. There was one time that I got a reply in 2 minutes. He could tell you many things out of the book.
His final exam was tough and wasn't standard at all. 100 difficult MCQs for 150 minutes! He's the course coordinator, and he writes exam questions, so at the end, you don't have any other option! So if you take his class, at least you can enjoy his jokes, but watch Khan Academy videos to get prepared for the final exam!
Lander is the G.O.A.T. of economics. NEVER skip class or you'll fail, his exams are tough but you'll learn so much during his lectures that all the stress is worth it. He is hilarious yet so smart, the best professor I've ever had
This guy is no joke. Hes the real deal on his field. Lander is one of the best professors you can ever cross paths with. This guy knows his stuff. He has a very engaging method of teaching, the material is interesting and lectures are long but awesome. I wouldve really liked to take his classes in a classroom instead of remotely. 100% recommended
Lander is very clear about what he expects from his students and his course is well-structured. The weekly assignments might seem annoying at first, but they force you to stay on top of things. The midterms and the final are based on comprehension of the topics and not memorization which makes them more difficult. Great professor in my opinion.
Really funny and engaging lectures even though they were all asynchronous. Make sure to study hard for midterms. They are always much easier than the final. Also, triple check my lab submissions. They are annoying but make for an easy grade booster.
Lander seems to have the misconception that everyone taking his class learns material the same way he may have as a student. Rather than changing his teaching style he keeps to his own format and forces students to learn his way. Email response vary from hours to days. Lectures while interesting are long, and only cover some key material. Avoid
So 2020 was a pretty rough year for many students, but Prof Lander made his course so fun. He recorded all the lectures within 3 weeks of the start of the semester, so you could go as quickly as you wanted. Lots of good feedback on emails and really cares about the daily implications of economics. Great jokes and concise lectures, no bs.
I took Prof. Lander's ECON 201 class in fall 2019 as well as his ECON 331 class in winter 2020. Prof. Lander's lectures a truly an added value to the class: clear explanations a good examples. the exams are hard, but he is a fair grader. Prof Lander has good availability for his students. He's a coordinator, thus he has info on the final exam.
If you have to take econ 201 HIGHLY reccomend Landers. He's an amazing professor and makes the material really interesting. He also writes the midterms & finals so you understand his question style. Don't take the class if you won't put the effort or work hard. NEED to study for midterms and final but if you put the effort you can do well!
Professor Lander is truly incredible. His lectures are really amazing and he gives real-life examples so you can really understand economics. Also has a lot of passion for what he does, which made me very passionate about the subject as well. This guy is an absolute gem. His exams are challenging tho, so make sure you really understand the material
Lander might be the best teacher at Concordia. I honestly get the impression that he could make watching paint dry an enthralling activity. He knows his topic INSIDE AND OUT, crafts lectures that are as engaging as they are informative, and fires off topical/relatable jokes that make ECON funny. He answers his e-mail in a flash. TAKE HIM.
I can count one hand the number of world-class lecturers I've encountered and Landers is one of them. He does a lot of work outside of academia, so he's not going to be responsive in regards to lab extensions. HOWEVER, conveying information in an understandable way is a craft he excels at. Highly recommended. Lab #5 has come and gone :(
Awful teacher, who does not respond to calls or emails. During exam period, he was unreachable and his readings are long + recordings are sometimes out of context. The assignments are like 30 - 50 questions compared to other classes I get like 10-20. Also, because it is an online class, he tends to make things harder because of we are at home..
After reading all the positive comments, I was convinced that he would be an amazing teacher, dont get me wrong he knows his stuff but its monotone. Assignments are long and you wont always find the answers in the textbook or notes. One more thing : he DOES NOT reply within 24h so people stop saying he replies ASAP or in a flash LOL
I had taken Moshe lander for Money and Banking (ECON 331). One of the best teachers at Concordia. If you ever get the chance, please take him. He really explains the concepts/material really well. He is always available during office hours. I have no doubt you will receive a really good grade, if you study hard and participate in class.
Best prof. at Concordia. I take him for every class I can. He takes the time to explain what the chapter presents and adds INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL EXPLANATIONS. Good examples, good analogies, he makes you understand the topic truly. Warning: He will skip a thing or two from the book and put it on the test so that only the textbook readers get an A+
This man hard carried my micro grade, I didnt even take him as a prof but my useless prof posted Lander's lecture videos and that's the only good thing he did the entire semester. Lander is the absolute MVP bruh
Expect to fail or ruin your GPA. I have to say his online lectures along with the book are both quite useless. The assignments are insanely long and most of the answers can't be found from the book or his lectures. He seems like a really cool guy honestly..But his class does not prepare you for the tests. Expect to fail if he's you're teacher.
Good teacher,straightforward pre recorded online lessons provides good examples related to real life that makes you understand the content better. 1h15 is not enough to complete his 60 questions exams, if you are stuck on a question skip it without wasting time and bring a watch. He uses different terms in exam questions which can be confusing
This guy is too good, he's gonna make you love the course and the subject.
Awful person, talks down to you, makes you feel like an idiot.
Awful
Awesome lecturer! He managed to keep me engaged in an online class that I didn't really care about. Technically he wasn't my prof, but I had his lectured because I took the course online. Can't really comment on the exam difficulty since it was probably my real prof that designed it. If you can take the online section for ECON 201 I recommend it.
I found his lectures super interesting and this prof made me appreciate economics as well as having me fully invested in this class. Really concise in his explanations with great examples. Looking forward to do my macroeconomics class next semester.
Just take his class if you can. One of the best (if not the best) teachers I've ever had to be honest. You don't need to go to his lectures since he provides video lectures on Moodle and my advice is to read the textbook and do the labs if you want to succeed in his class.
Most difficult course i have ever taken, class meets once a week and yes the course is interesting but unless you are very good at math and very good at calc do not take this course slides are like 200 pages long and wow they are not easy to understand trust me for ur gpa do not take this i promise you
Professor Lander makes this otherwise dull course engaging. The online format works well, with helpful lecture videos and a reasonable workload. Unstuck study was a game-changer for preparing, but the exams can still be challenging.
Fire Him - very opinionated , he does not have " it " Yes he knows the subject
Really looks out for the students and tells us everything we need to bring and makes sure we're able to reach him and his lectures are so brilliant.
He is a very nice person, and he wants you to do well. He isn't a harsh grader, and his lectures aren't boring.
A gem of a prof, honestly if I could take him for all of my econ courses, I would. Makes lectures so interesting and cares about you doing well, unlike other profs in the econ department who only care about keeping their class' average low.
This course is super chill and easy i would def take him for this course also its all MCQ , but just because his rating is high please do not take his econ 465 it is horrible one of the toughest courses he teaches and he even says im not sure why people take this course. So take this and not 465
He is the best econ prof that this school has to offer, lectures are extremely useful if you take notes and pay attention. People that are on here saying he sucks are probably salty about their grades TBHHHH. Grading can be tough its either you know it or you dont, but if you spend 20 minutes a day on his class 3 weeks before a test youll be fine.
Lectures recorded in 2020 are outdated in 2025 and poorly crafted, the university can & does a better job of administering online classes & producing course content. There are no zoom or teams sessions live & all homework is AI generated Pearson banks, he is disassociated from the learning.
Moshe is extremely knowledgeable, and has moments where he's genuinely hilarious. He did talk a lot about people failing though, which was a real vibe killer.
I did the EC (online) section of ECON201 and ECON203 with him. The 201 video lectures are very engaging to follow, the recording is a very high quality lecture that is easy to focus on and his examples are very detailed and digestible. I can't say the same for the 203 recordings, because the lecture is a screen recording of slides, but still OK.
this is the worst proff i have ever had. doesnt teach anything that comes on the exam, even if you follow his exact instructions somehow he finds a way to mark you down for no reason. does not put any effort in the course material and doesnt give any useful feedback
