MATH8 . 7 Months Ago

Literally the best math teacher I have had at UCSB. He gives a ton of extra credit in assignment and exams, so you can easily make up if you mess up a component. Worksheets are very detailed and spell out exactly what one needs to learn. Only issue I had was that the sections did not connect well with lectures but that seems more like a TA issue

Please do not take this professor for your Math 8 class. He goes through lectures so fast and expects his students to understand it quickly. Basically, I do not think he knows how to teach. The homework is literally so hard for no reason. And the midterm and the final were so hard that I was literally on verge of tears taking these. Avoid him
