Review:
Professor Staab did a great job teaching the easy material. Unfortunately, he didn't budget enough time for the harder concepts at the end, giving the class a mere 22 hours to study for the final exam. The exams were difficult, as expected for a math course; however, he would comment that he should have made a question easier after the exam, but not curve it. Professor Staab has a history on this site for making mistakes. When he says he messed up multiple problems on an exam and does not compensate for that, there is a major problem. The final review session was in no way helpful, because although it was presented in the format of a review, many of the concepts were new. 24 hours before the final, the class was not at all prepared for the exam.

Workload:
The homework is a generic math course load. When you add the material that you have to teach to yourself, however, the amount of work outside of class becomes rather extreme. The course is not recommended.
