<p>Does anyone know who would be better to take 54 with, Lott or Hald? I've seen tons of reviews on Hald on 54 in ratemyprofessors.com, nothing on Lott. Hald seems to have taught lower-div math classes for a while, this seems to be Lott's first time teaching (it looks like in the past few years he's been teaching 185 & 277). Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Both 54 lectures conflict with my other class times, but Lott's only overlaps by 30 mins on Tuesdays while Hald's overlaps by an hour on MWs...</p>
<p>I wouldn’t know for sure. After all, I’m a freshman who’s going to take Math 54 next semester. I think I was advised to go for Hald. With Lott, since he hasn’t taught (math 54) for a while, one can never know how he does things. That, and Hald seems to be a solid lecturer (maybe… I haven’t had a good math lecturer yet, so I can’t say for sure). And he seems to have taught many math classes before, such as Math 110. That can mean that he’ll be rather difficult.</p>
<p>Meh, choose your poison. I’ll go for Hald.</p>
<p>midterms are inclass so you may wish to change one of your other classes.</p>
<p>My other classes are discussions, so I think it’ll be fine in that respect…</p>
