CollegeGreat guy, however his lectures were hard to follow, so after the second midterm I just stopped going. The class overall was very easy but the section quizzes were very hard. He would either make them ridiculously difficult or the material would straight up just not be what we're learning in lecture. Average of 4/10 on quizzes but ended with an A.
Prof Schley is very passionate about the material he teaches. It took a while for me to get used to his style of teaching as it is very conceptual. Math 6A builds on itself and staying on top of the material is important. Weekly quizzes were difficult and on pretty specific topics but they were only 10% of the grade.
Great guy, you can talk with him for hours outside of class. Lectures aren't anything special.
When going to office hours he helps decently. I will say though Academically I went to CLAS (Which honestly without that I would not have passed) everyday for 2 hrs to help me study and do the homework. Overall sweet guy but not the best teacher.
Look, will he be late to your 8 am, Yes. Will you not understand what's going on, Yes. Will you learn from lecture, maybe? Will lecture be a good use of time, probably not. But the guy is very nice and tries to be funny. He brought our whole class donuts to apologize for being late one time, and played his guitar for us when we do well on tests.
Nice guy, not a great professor. He spends way too much time focusing on simple problems we learned in kindergarten and skips over things we actually need to know. He shows up late and then goes on random tangents completely unrelated to math. If you have to take this class, get a different professor or wait until next quarter.
