Jeffrey Carpenter

This course is quite tough. It is fast-paced, and he asks you to learn a lot of the material on your own. He allows you to drop a test, which is nice. His grading is quite odd since he grades on a GPA scale, so there is no difference between getting a low A and a 100. Overall, he is not great at explaining the material.

Solid course, but the work was challenging. It pushes you out of your comfort zone if you're not great at math, but you will be better for it after. The exams are challenging, but he gives you the flexibility to drop your worst one.

Professor Carpenter is a really cool professor and does his best to make the material somewhat interesting. You honestly get as much out of this class as you put in. If you keep up and do the problem sets, the exams will be fine. The curve is generous and while I think the grading scale is unnecessarily complicated, it is fair. The class has 4 exams, with each of your 3 best scores counting for 30% of your final grade.
