Thomas Anderson

This class is very intensive and time consuming because the concepts are abstract. On top of that, all the material is cumulative, so you really have to nail down past information in order to move forward. It is hard to stay on track if you aren't reading the textbook because every day in lecture is new material.

I thought Professor Anderson was very organized with the class and with notes. He came prepared to every lecture with prewritten notes and would copy them and do additional problems. He would then post them on Canvas after class or that week which helped me significantly with studying. There was also a tutorial every week where it reinforced material that was covered in class with practice problems. If you did the tutorial, you got 100%. There was also a problem set weekly and if you went to problem set hours or office hours, everyone was willing to help and would ensure that you got the problems correct. Overall however, he is very picky with notations so you need to me mindful of that on problem sets and exams.

This course was quite demanding in terms of the content and the pacing of the class. In lectures, it would be constant writing and a consistent stream of new information, but that seems inevitable with any professor, given how much content we had to get through. Professor Anderson was always willing to answer questions very thoroughly, but exams were very difficult.
