I may be biased because it’s math, but this was exceptionally dull. (Rating is subject to change as it is fully dependent on whether or not I pass the class)

Pretty good explanations, I loved the complimentary gift of tissues included inside! Some concepts were very abstract, but so are the people studying it.
