4A . Ponce G 8 Days Ago

Ponce is the worst math professor I have seen. His final was easy in retrospect, but didn't grade for partial credit. I never went to his lectures because when I did, I couldn't understand what he was doing. You can easily self study but avoid him at all costs. I am a math major and he is an awful professor.

Very easy class with a generous curve at the end. Make sure to check work well for midterms and final because there was no partial credit at all. The homework was weekly and pretty difficult.

Terrible lectures, I ended up just going to CLAS and self studying by the end of the quarter. The final and midterms were very easy, with basic questions about the material. Easy to succeed in terms of grade if you just want the credit but would not recommend if you actually want to learn the material.

A horrible lecturer who just reads slides that aren't his + he has an accent (chill/nice guy tho). TA was horrible, was passive-aggressive & always boasted about how lucky we were to have him. 3 online midterms (ChatGPT). Homework was 20 problems/week which were hard (ChatGPT). Self-study class, I got a B even tho I barely put in the effort.

super hard to follow during lectures, ended up not going to them. relied on TA's review and just watched youtube videos. Pounce seems nice though. midterms and final were super easy they were just basic questions on the topics you learn. no conceptual questions, final was 5 questions but no partial credit. he curved the midterms and final.

Overall not that bad of a class - lectures were kind of hard to follow, but examples in the latter half of the quarter were helpful. Would recommend going to math lab + TA office hours. 3 midterms that were online and pretty straightforward. The homework was honestly harder than both the midterms and final. Final was worth 40% but light.
