Tiu gets a "B" from his students at RateMyProfessor, and one comments suggests he may have the smarts he needs to win:
"This class was very difficult. His answers are very difficult but they are meant to really test whether or not you know the material. … You can't just do problems and expect to do well. You have to actually understand the concepts behind the problems."
Good luck, Phillip!
