Transition to Higher Mathematics . MATH 8
Introduction to the elements of propositional logic, techniques of mathematical proof, and fundamental mathematical structures, including sets, functions, relations, and other topics as time permits. Mastery of this material is essential for students planning to major in mathematics.

Reiterating what was stated before, Professor Agboola assigns a ridiculous amount of homework. I have never spent so much time for one class in my life. There is also a huge gap between what is taught in lecture, and the homework problems that are from the textbook. I found that going to lecture was practically pointless.
Homework is INSANE. If the units are based on homework amount, this should be a 10-unit class, NOT KIDDING. What's more ridiculous is that only a few homework problems are randomly graded, all for correctness-that means you don't get credit for completion of the rest. Refused to reduce the HW amount upon our request. Avoid taking him if possible.
Lots of work. Lecture was painfully slow. Material is actually quite easy, but no room is left for any errors of any kind on homework or tests.
Agboola is possibly the worst math professor I've had at UCSB, he is very unclear on what we need to know for exams & is disconnected on how students are doing in class. I loved the class and the material, I just wish I had a better professor. Put in a crazy amount of effort but really small mistakes on exams cost me BIG TIME on final course grade
