This course was co-taught by Professors Louis and Riggs with Louis teaching most of the Excel-based portions and Riggs teaching more of the harder math portions.

Professor Louis tends to go pretty slow and can be pretty boring, but its also pretty easy to catch up by yourself on his sections by just reading the textbook which takes like 20 minutes maximum.

Professor Riggs is my absolute favorite and makes this class such a joy. He always tries to make sure everyone is on track, engaged, and entertained with a lot of fun examples and personal stories. He is also such a casual, friendly guy that makes the atmosphere when he teaches so much better.

They also encourage a pretty lax grading system on homework to make sure students get as many points as possible there, but the points taken off on exams are more to scale of how much the part of the answer makes up the entire solution so don't go too chill.

If you do any of the following: pay decent attention in class, go to TA office hours, or just ask Professor Riggs questions outside of class you're basically guaranteed an A.

I always love every class taught by Professor Riggs because of his teaching style and because of how he shows he truly values the students learning the information rather than formalities in grading.

This class also just teaches a ton of pretty applicable Excel skills I can see in general life, but especially if you're looking into going into data analytics, supply chain, business, consulting, etc.
