Very engaging lecturer, great sense of humor. Extremely timely with email repsonses. Grading was homework, 2 midterms, and a final. Holds a lot of office hours. Homework can be tough but he'll help you in OH. Midterms generally easier than homework. Also just a nice guy
HW 25%, 2 midterms 15% each, 1 final 45%; He's very funny and genuinely helps so much in office hours. Favorite math class at UCSB thus far and only class I ever went to that I waNTed to go to because the course content is fun (he makes it fun). Homework was light (5ish problems per week) and if they're hard, mathlab helps so much.
Very nice professor. Lectures were straightforward, exams were very reasonable difficulty. Very manageable class if you study effectively.
One of the best math professors I have ever had. Made all the material easily accessible and genuinely wanted students to succeed. Would absolutely recommend.
