Mathematical Analysis - Very slow. Glad I'm not going to these lectures to learn the content. How slow the lecturer is going makes the whole "2.5x+ the contact hours over cambridge but still manages to cover less" thing make more sense. Assignment sheets are far too easy. The vast majority of the exercises are standard results and none require any sort of creativity. I like the lecturer - and I'm sure he's only going slowly because that's how the course is.
•
Sets and Numbers - Really like the lecturer, probably my favourite that I've had. Very energetic and charismatic and goes at a pretty good pace. Would love to get him again. Unfortunately other people think he's going far too fast and said he was bad, lol. That said he's doing complex numbers stuff now, which is just A-level revision with nothing added. Apparently it'll be like this for the next few lectures. Flatmates are skipping so I will too. (feel I can't otherwise)

Mathematical Techniques - Painfully slow. And I mean painful. There has hardly been anything new in the last few lectures - she tends to spend whole lectures doing particular examples. Speaking to a few people this seems to be the common feeling. Though when she releases the results of the student evaluation a few people said she was going too fast?? I was flabbergasted lol. She did say that she was surprised how good people were at proof writing, so it's possible she just underestimated the level of here and has pitched the course at too low a level. From the challenge questions she's set for tutorials, it's clear she can present challenging examples during lectures.

Differential Equations - Skipped the last few lectures (they're all early in the morning so I end up sleeping through them. for this purpose, 12pm classifies as early) but skimming through the lecture capture they're still on Second Order ODEs and so haven't really got to any new stuff. Assignments have been straightforward so far though less standard than the analysis ones.
•
Introduction to Geometry - Didn't know it'd just be the last week on spherical geometry lol, got the impression there was more. But yeah this has been an alright module. We start Introduction to Abstract Algebra next week, the lecturer for which is legendary (https://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/staff/S.Siksek/teaching/aa/aanotes.pdf) so that should be entertaining.
