I think Professor Carpenter would be a fun guy to sit and have a beer with, but the class was just insanely boring and you could tell that he did not care. There was homework due every few weeks, two midterms, and a final that all needed to be curved.

Great class for building intuition, and Professor Carpenter was a great joy. His grading style might catch you off guard, but if you go to office hours and ask questions, you'll do great. Also, the textbook used in class is the one he wrote, so lectures basically follow the textbook.

I loved this class. The material was so interesting and Carpenter was great with it. He is obviously super knowledgeable and was really good at teaching it. Some examples in class are straight out of the textbook that he wrote, but there are a lot of examples. Has a pretty funny, sometimes blunt sense of humor that can be jarring at first, but he's really nice and very approachable if you have questions. It's a tough class but I would 100% take it again.
