Lectures aren't recorded but feel like a giant waste of time. She doesn't come prepared and often only gets through about 5 slides of information. You can skip/ skim most readings though and get through in discussion.

He's very helpful in office hours but lectures are just copying long definitions. The tests are short and weighted very heavily, so a small mistake will cost you. Also, weekly problem sets graded for accuracy.
