Awful
Professor Plaxton is easily the worst lecturer I have ever had. I am completely miserable in this class and not learning anything. Don't even bother going to class, just watch youtube tutorials and maybe read the book for clarity. If there is an option for a different professor, take them no matter what!
Awful
Unless you're okay with nearly learning everything from a textbook, do not take Prof. Plaxton. Lecture is pointless because he doesn't speak up. I also can't understand our TA for the life of me. Homework is worth 60% of overall grade and they are pretty hard. I wouldn't recommend this class at all.
Good
Classmates almost convinced me not to take his class, but I discovered that the trick is to go to his office hours if you need help with understanding. He'll help you with homework if you ask him questions and all you have to worry about is the exams. Would really recommend him!
