The best aspects of the course included the wel -organized lectures, the helpful homework assignments, and the approachable professor. The worst aspects of this course included the time consuming homework assignments and the insufficient amount of time available to learn each concept in this fast paced course. The course would improve if students received helpful feedback on their work, and shorter homework assignments. Prospective students should have a strong background in algebra and be prepared to be chal enged.
