CollegeI like Ograin. He's a good lecturer. He often puts things into common language so it's easy to get what he's saying. Homework load is light. Office hours are worthwhile.
Definitely one of the best math profs I've ever had! The questions on tests always had familiar concepts; it's just a matter of self-discipline when it comes to studying. Ograin gives out about 10-20 practice problems per week, but only assigns 1 to be due each class. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. Not doing them is why I almost failed: lack of studying
I have this professor for 4 of my undergrad classes and so far 2 of my graduate classes. He is easily one of my favorite professors at UCSB. I would definitely recommend taking his courses. He clearly enjoys teaching and is more than willing to go the extra mile to make your experience in his class enjoyable.
Great professor! The exams are very fair and he does a great job at covering all the required content in lectures.
