Collegelegend. One of the best for upper divs.
If you can manage getting up at 8am, this is a solid class. Very good lectures and he always leaves room for questions. Although the homeworks were difficult, the exams were very fair. Plus he's very accessible in office hours. Attendance is sometimes taken, and he sometimes gave quizzes with about a week's notice.
Pretty decent overall. Sometimes he goes really fast and doesn't explain what he's doing. He also makes a lot of mistakes
Lectures are incomprehensible, with completely illegible handwriting. Professor makes little effort to communicate with students. Homework is annoyingly lengthy. The only redeeming factor for this professor was a very easy final.
Super nice guy but lectures felt a bit all over the place and he did not explain small but key ideas that really made studying quite difficult. I don't think I learned much from this class even though I went to lecture and did HW but if I had kept up better I could have easily gotten an A because the final was light.
Gustavo Ponce's lectures can be quite hard to follow if you are trying to take notes while listening. I'd recommend just listening during the lecture and taking notes afterward. As long as you can grasp the problems and understand the homework, the midterm and final exam will be easy for you.
