Comment:
The guy is so full of himself, awful "professor". He doesn't care for his students whatsoever, small requests are laughed upon. Does not answer emails either. Wastes class ALOT to the point where his notes are all over the place, just avoid at all costs. I had my doubts but took him, saying "How bad could he possibly be?" - Very, very, very, bad.

Comment:
Dr. Wylie was so much fun. In the first class, he'll scare you. He'll make it seem like the course will be super difficult, but the hardest part is the final exam. Midterms are a breeze if you pay attention, and he gives lots of test questions in class. He wants you to engage, so if you're willing to do that then it's easy. Textbook recommended.

Comment:
He does not use mikes, so if you wanna hear him clearly you better sit close to the front of the class. He seems know what he is talking about but he does not actually say things straight up. He tries to make students to come up the answers, which I really don't like because then I will hear many stupid answers and be ended up confused.

Comment:
The material is interesting and lots to like. Midterms are easy and 100% lecture based. Final is considerably tougher! TA is super nice. Wylie's personality will appeal to many but it was too much for me. Straight forward and funny sometimes, but other days almost condescending and rude. Fun material but not a fan of the prof.

I was worried about this class after being bored out of my mind in 275, but Wylie proved me wrong. Fantastic professor, he tests only from his lecture notes for the midterms and "anything is fair game" for his final (he brags about the difficulty) but I read over the last 3 untested chapters and read all the notes and did really well on the final.

Doug is an absolutely amazing instructor. Key to getting a getting an A: Attend every class; Study ONLY in-class notes for the midterm; Study all in-class material AND last few chapters of text for final (older text edition is okay); Make sure you understand all concepts he discusses in class; Participate and enjoy class! (P.S. Doug doesn't curve)

Comment:
Douglas is an exceptionally gifted professor who consistently engages the class through his biting sarcasm. If you do not understand the content that he teaches, I can assure that it is not his fault. He is one of the clearest professors at the University. As an added bonus, he also rigorously outlines test content. Oh and make sure you talk, a lot

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Don't read the textbook for the midterms, just come to class. For the final, read the textbook chapters for the last few units, and just memorize everything else in the notes. The final is NOT THAT HARD!!! Wylie is an extremely fair and interesting prof.! I loved this class and did great!

Awesome prof. I found he did an amazing job lecturing this class. I found him insightful, halarious, and all around helpful. Going to class is a must, but try to be on time (you'll see haha). All around awesome professor.

I liked this guy. He does an excellent job engaging a class of 200 people. Oh, and if he ever gets mad at you for being late, just tell him Dallas sent you :)

I honestly have to say he is one of the worst profs I have ever had. I found his antics entertaining for a little while but he condescended so much that I couldn't stand him by the end. Easy midterms, final was pretty tough though. There were about 8 questions on his own research that were not pertinent to our material.

Don't let his yelling scare you - he's a really great prof. Engaging - he makes everything interesting. Actually funny (as opposed to all the profs that mistakenly think they're funny) Yes the final is challenging, but the midterms are so easy that it makes up for it. I loved this class!

He scares the class on the first day, he hates it when your late, So don't be! He basically tells you what will be on the midterms. The final is a different story. Make sure you study the text, he tests on everything. Great prof, interacts with the class!

I went to only a few classes and just studied the book well (there wasn't even much reading since it was a short book)... I did well. The midterms were easy. He was a really good prof. Also the final isn't hard I don't know what everyone is saying. I did slightly worse on it since I didn't read som but the stuff I read was there like word for word.

He's a very good prof although he may try to scare away the first few classes. He's quite entertaining and will review important points. Watch out for the final though (the text book is VERY important for the final)
