Ala Abdelbaki is a very funny and helpful professor. He often goes off on random, unrelated tangents during class. The majority of the class is only taking calculus to fulfill a requirement, such as econ. Not an easy topic, but he does a good job of teaching material. Class is made up of two midterms and a final and weekly webassign homeworks. The homework is easy to get 100% on. If you have to take calc II, take it with Ala.
