Prof.Labutin is literally the best grader I've I ever met. If you are a human and have some basic logic, there is no doubt that you'll get an A. His lectures are sometimes confusing, but when the tests are coming, you'll thank him.
The goat of Math4A, giving incoherent lectures and still managing to give the whole class A's. Tests and grading scales are beyond generous and lectures occasionally will make sense. Class becomes much funnier once you realize that the lectures go in circles and you can talk through most of it.
72% of the grade comes from 5 take home exams. From them, only the top 4 exams are counted. The homework sets are most definitely not too long, I just do a few problems a night and get by no problem. He does have a heavy accent, but sitting closer to the front of the lecture hall makes his speech more clear.
This is the worst professor I have ever had to far. I cant understand his lectures, heavy accent, doesn't explain things and skips over them. I do not recommend it. He uses a weird homework site for grading and it is an absolute pain to use. I really regret picking him. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PROFESSOR YOU WILL REGRET IT SO MUCH
This is a professor who is perfect for me. Professor labutin assigns all of a semester's homework (meaning we can do it in advance) and doesn't check attendance. That means I can take his class in a week and I don't have to listen to his class. But his class is really hard to understand(not in academic), so he loses one point
