Comments on the professor

Overall a nice guy. Likes to chat with students and bring in real life examples and stories. Strict. Explanations a bit hard to understand.

Advice

At the end of every tutorial is a quiz that counts of marks so be there. Same study strategy as EPSC 221 (memorization and internalization of key concepts should be fine). Make sure to get along with your lab group as you'll be working with them through the entire semester. Labs can be very hands on so come prepared.
