For context, I suck at math and don’t like it at all, so this course was hard for me personally. I felt like the lesson content didn’t entirely prepare you for the quizzes and exams, and the wording in those were bombastic.

All the online material was through Xronos, which is easy(ish) to do but it didn’t really help me, does count for a grade tho so you need to complete it. There were 4-5 quizzes and 1 exam due at the end of every module, plus the final exam which covered everything. Exams were all honorlocked

Not my kind of professor, mind you I only went to a couple lectures and did everything else online (attendance wasn’t mandatory) but he talked a lot and the examples were jumbled so I felt like I wasn’t gonna get much from his teaching. There weren’t too many options for Mac1114 tho so I can’t say much.

Lock in, if you can go to lectures and if they don’t help you’re going to have to teach yourself the content. You will most likely struggle tbh, but I ended with an 88 and got an A-

It's one of the pre-reqs for mac2311 if you dont do mac1147. I think the class was okay but it is hard to understand and truly practice when everything is on Xronos.

It’s one of those courses where the lectures and practice make so much sense, but then quizzes & exams are significantly harder. He says you should be able to “apply basic concepts to new problems”…but that’s very hard to do with no practice. I had 100s on all the homeworks and good grades on quizzes (for the most part) but honestly bombed the exams which destroyed my grade. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’ve taken a course with similar content before, or absolutely need this specific class.

Lecture videos are posted through Xronos, with practice problems in between. Nothing except exams has an actual due date, it’s all just recommended…I would follow them thought because it sets a manageable pace (one “lesson”, which includes several lecture videos and practice problems, and quiz due each week).

It’s fully online so there’s not much interaction…his lecture videos are good though, he explains things well.

I honestly hated this class not because of the workload, but because the homework/quiz/exam problems are so much harder than the examples from lectures. You watch the lecture and feel confident, then don’t know how to solve the problems…and the platform won’t show you steps on how to complete the problems.
