If you see that your lecturer is Dr Mark Razhev, then please do yourself a favour and drop the subject. This probably won't be an issue for any of you, as I'm sure he wont ever be trusted with this level of responsibility again, but his lack of professionalism, dedication and in general, investment into this subject made it difficult to engage and indeed succeed in. The content actually wasn't awful and I imagine it would be very doable with a committed lecturer.

More mathematical than I though.

Great teacher, interesting topics
