Michael Durst

Professor was amazing and super organized. The teaching was very straight forward and easy to follow along. The course pace was perfect and easy to stay on top of work. Exams were reasonable and my opportunities to balance your grade, ex. labs, homeworks.

Durst constantly asks for feedback on exams, homework and generally how the course is going and then honors the feedback to change the course depending on what the students need. The labs are pretty long but interesting and I liked the format in an excel sheet. The exams were quite long but they reflected what we had learned in class and seemed fair if you did the work in class.

Prof Durst is super nice, but can be intimidating when teaching. He moves super fast and it is crucial that you pay attention in lectures. He records and posts lectures, so if you miss stuff in lecture you can go back and re watch the videos. The homeworks are pretty hard, but TA hours are super helpful. The exams are also hard, but if you understand the homeworks, they are manageable. Durst is chill with grades, he weighed the lowest exam score to 10% and dropped the lowest lab and homework grade.
