Review:
Professor Olia offers probably the most straightforward teaching of this particular class. His students have a much easier time understanding the material than those in other sections. I definitely recommend taking ES-9 with Olia, it's really not a difficult course with him and he leaves you feeling very confident about the material after every lecture.

Workload:
There was 1 problem set each week, never short, but usually moderate (and there are plenty of recitation sections to get help in if you're having trouble). 4 exams, all just like the homeworks, no surprises.
