Worst professor I have had at UCSB. Extremely rude to students and wants you to fail. First midterm and final average were in the 50% range and he claimed that was ideal. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

class is graded on webwork, two midterms, & a final (best exam is weighed more, +10%). he listened to criticism, adding partial credit & offering points back after midterm 1. his practice exams were almost identical to the real ones + you can use a cheat sheet on all exams. clas tutorial groups were more helpful in explaining the material :/

Honestly nothing to complain about. You're expected to know lecture + textbook content and that's what's on the exams. Exams consistently averaged 50-60% but curved GENEROUSLY at the end.

Horrible lectures, and even worse exams. Simply does not teach material that is presented on exams. Do not take

Would not recommend. Confusing lectures and very difficult tests. Mean for final was 55% take porter

averages of 55% on a math 34B final is kinda insane. take porter
