The grading system takes away all the interest from this class and makes it much more difficult than it should be. Your grade is competitive with your classmates, so how they do will affect the curve and ultimately your own grade.

Neal Koblitz is very smart and passionate about math, but he's a very ineffective teacher. Also unapproachable.

Try to do well on the quizzes with the short time you had on them. This was made somewhat better by remote learning.

Don't take Koblitz.
