I took this class virtually and did not enjoy it. That being said it could have been worse. I did not learn much and the homework did not really prepare you for the test questions so the best way to prepare was to read the book and come up with questions on your own. The lectures are just Egorov reading from the book. the homework, the midterm, and the exam are all worth 1/3 of your grade but there is a curve at the end.

I would say that this class, while not amazing, could have been worse with a different professor. The problem sets, midterm, and final are all worth a third of your grade and the whole course is curved fairly generously. I did not learn much in the course, but with the help of the TA's and the Simon and McQuarrie textbook it is not hard to come out with a pretty good grade. I attended about 1/5 of classes and was able to do okay (seriously Viranga was the best TA though)!
