Don't take this class with Fabricius if you don't care to really learn the material. You cannot get away with memorizing how to do problems without fully understanding the concepts, but he does a good job of teaching in class and gives a decent amount of points for participation (I think around 30% of total).FINA3303 2026-02-10 00:44:24 +0000 UTC
