ED134 . Ograin C M 9 Years Ago

Lots of group work in class. We did a new investigation every week which got tiresome after a few weeks. 3 papers and no exams. The papers were an easy A as long as you made an effort Prof is very enthusiastic when teaching and really cares about his students. Attendance and participation are parts of your grade

I like Ograin. He's a good lecturer. He often puts things into common language so it's easy to get what he's saying. Homework load is light. Office hours are worthwhile.

MATH101A . Ograin C M 2 Years Ago

Definitely one of the best math profs I've ever had! The questions on tests always had familiar concepts; it's just a matter of self-discipline when it comes to studying. Ograin gives out about 10-20 practice problems per week, but only assigns 1 to be due each class. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. Not doing them is why I almost failed: lack of studying

I have this professor for 4 of my undergrad classes and so far 2 of my graduate classes. He is easily one of my favorite professors at UCSB. I would definitely recommend taking his courses. He clearly enjoys teaching and is more than willing to go the extra mile to make your experience in his class enjoyable.

Great professor! The exams are very fair and he does a great job at covering all the required content in lectures.

Prof Ograin was great. Very organized class. His lectures were easy to follow and he was always available for questions. No curveballs on exams because he truly tested for understanding of the material. Homework took a while but was helpful to understanding course content. 5 exams worth 75% and 9 webwork sets worth 25%.
