Professor Santugini is genuinely the best professor here at UVA. Very interactive with students and always willing to help. This class is much easier than his 3010 course. Exams were easy if you prepared and talked to him.
Not a bad class, but certainly not an easy A. There is no textbook for the class, so you have to attend lecture or else you can very quickly fall behind. Class is also very Calculus heavy requiring some more advanced derivatives. Santugini is a great prof, and he clearly cares about the students. He is very helpful and accommodating if you go to his office hours. Overall grade is comprised of 3 non-cumulative exams (25% each), and 25% mini quizzes after lectures (graded on completion). He gives lots of very helpful practice problems before exams, so if you look over those you will probably do fine in the class. Attend lecture, do practice problems before exams, and you'll get an A-. Put in more effort and an A is attainable.
