He's a nice guy, cracks some dad jokes here and there during lecture. Class is HW heavy, but he posts good slides and gives helpful resources for the tests.

Garfield teaches in a way that makes me understand his material less. I do not like math and he contributed even more to it. Section was actually helpful though. He uploads practice tests that are almost identical to the actual tests so shoutout to bro.

His lectures were horrendous, but he is a silly funny guy. The practice exams were identical to the tests and he provides a notecard. Literally just write the practice questions on your notecard. Lowk a lot of hw, but he didn't geofence iclicker so you could do it from home. SO SLOW AT GRADING so be aware. I had him for 34A and 34B.

This is the best calc course ur gonna find. The practice tests are next to identicle to the actual exam, as long as u suceed on them u will do great. Lots of HW but managble bc u have unlimited tries and several are dropped. Lecture can be boring though, attendence is mandatory and for me the class was early morning.

Peter restored my faith in math professors here at UCSB. He is a great lecturer and is very clear and concise. He explains very well how to solve problems and has many iclickers in his class that will help prepare you for his exams. He graded his exams very slowly but they were extremely similar to his practice exams he posts on canvas.

34B was an easy class. Lectures are engaging and have good iclicker questions to learn content. Practice exams on canvas are identical to the 3 in-class midterms + final making them easy (but graded slowly). Prof Garfield is very funny and makes lectures interesting. He is also caring and offers makeup exams. I highly recommend taking his class!
