The class is fairly difficult to get an A in since the grade is 100% tests and quizzes, but a B isn't difficult at all. If you're going for an A it might be difficult, but worth it. If you would be fine with a B, take him.

I wasn't sure what to expect and was worried about so much material in such a short time, but he made it very easy to understand and retain.
