3a . Garcia-Cerver 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Horrible teacher, DO NOT TAKE. Retaking 3A right now, absolutely unbelievable how much easier it is with a different teacher. Would assign 40 hw questions a week, lectures didn't help whatsoever, and gave zero examples in class. Please don't take, it's not worth it.

3a . Garcia-Cerver 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Utterly challenging to learn from. TA zero help. Used advanced notation and taught concepts in the most confusing, unnecessary ways. Study guides nothing like actual tests. I went to CLAS, got a tutor (who laughed when I showed her our study guide/notes), and had to basically teach myself this entire class. Somehow escaped with a C+. Beware.
