CollegeVery theoretical in lectures, midterm easy, final insanely hard, but clearly curved. He is very intelligent and fair in the end
Glenn was an amazing prof!! He is insanely smart; ask him any question and he has an answer. Also, his passion for the subject is truly inspiring. I live for the smile he flashes after he finishes lecturing something awesome. 1 MIDTERM + 1 FINAL
This is the only 8 am class I ever enjoyed. His lecture handouts are super clear and helpful, and I use them for many of my other classes.
I have never met a man who is more passionate about what he does than this man. He smiles at the thought of math, and his smile inspires happiness in others. Glenn Fredrickson is the best professor at UCSB.
