CollegeHe is a very good prof. You will have a good idea of what is on his tests and how to approach it. Proofs are not fully straight forward but if you do the homework you should be able to figure it out. Overall, very fair and is extremely helpful in office hours.
The best math professor I've ever had at UCSB. He puts a lot of effort into his lectures and his exams are very fair. You will have to work hard to do well though. The homework assignments are several pages long since Math 108A is a tough course, but he made it understandable and enjoyable. I wish he was teaching 108B.
Very good at explaining things. 108A is a hard class but his lectures are clear and he is thorough. Accessible during office hours. Want to take more of his classes.
Very easy class. His tests are straight forward and only cover the basics. The homework is fairly easy and is a good respresentation of how the tests are. Be sure to go to the in class reviews he holds before each midterm and final, they are very helpful.
