MATH220 . 3 Months Ago

We can all agree hes among the worst profs at UCSB, but here's a list of my favorite agboola moments: That time he told a prof to shut up/stop asking questions during a talk. When he got pissed because he heard a single NOTIFICATION. When he didn't answer a question because he thought it was too trivial (every single question hes ever been asked)

The midterm and final are online, just so much homework.

MATH3B . 6 Months Ago

It's just a lot of work, and I would have to go to CLAS Drop In every week. There were even some super difficult questions that tutors couldn't even help with. But he teaches very well, and the midterm and final are online. The emphasis of the class is basically to practice math over and over, with 60-90 math problems a week.

MATH3B . 1 Year, 15 Days Ago

This class is hard only because of the homework but literally half your grade is online tests so it was easy to get an A. Many people are complaining about the amount of homework but it wasn't only that. I've had other classes with 70 webwork questions but the questions were actually beyond difficult. Also I swear he doesn't like college students.

Professor Agboola expects you to learn a lot outside of class. It's homework-intensive, ranging from 60-80 problems a week. He will teach you the fundamentals but you will have to learn a lot on your own. The 2 tests are online. If you do all of the work, put in some effort, and have a basic understanding, you can get an A. He's also pretty funny.

MATH3B . 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

This class is an interesting one. The professor is very funny and the lectures are easy to follow and quite interesting. The homework is due weekly on Thursday nights and probably takes 5-10 hours per week because you are not taught how to do the HW. You get unlimited attempts for HW and it is 50% of your grade, so an A is achievable.
