MATH104A . Ceniceros H 2 Years Ago

Took this course in the summer. Checks attendance every now and then (~10% of grade)Hard material but his lectures were fun to attend for me, as long as you learned the concepts it was fine. HW does require coding knowledge, he doesn't teach you to code but is helpful in OH. 2 exams that were ~4-5 questions with T/F and curved a lot at the end.

Not a good teacher. Not a good teacher. He rewrite the note on board and there is no practice for the exams.

Awful lecturer. Goes way too fast and writes formula after formula, without providing intuition or a big picture. Helpful in office hours at least. Provides study guides for midterm and final, which are very helpful and yielded a high average.

His homework for 104A was challenging, but not impossible. Attendance isn't *really* mandatory but he randomly checks every few weeks. His lectures are clear for the most part, and he's pretty funny. The tests, however... dude gave us a T/F midterm AND final. They weren't very easy questions either .. top 10 anime betrayals smh.

Nice guy with "lightheartedly cruel" lecture humor. Regurgitates the lecture notes which i'm pretty sure all the 104 profs use. Hw was hard but worth doing and understanding. Tests were T/F style--(W)TF, indeed. I don't think anyone expected him to double down on it for the final, but we should have known better. He may or may not pull this again..

Hides behind a veneer of humor. Going to office hours is more painful than the dentist unless you enjoy being made feel like you're incompetent. Will assume that you understand the wall of complex summations he writes in lecture without clarification and answers questions superficially. 0/10 do not recommend
