CollegeReally engaging, the best college math experience I've had honestly. He's hard but caring.
extremely boring lectures. he spent 10 minutes teaching and the rest is just a worksheet that you figure out and he walks around asking if you need help. math 8 in general is pretty hard and his exams are quite complicated. quizzes in sections and one gets dropped.
I believe this was his first class at UCSB and it was very enjoyable. Engaging lectures that were actually example heavy were super helpful. There is a quiz every section which was rough when my section was an 8am but it definitely made sure you didn't fall behind. 2 lowest quizzes and HWs dropped, good b/c some of the quizzes were difficult/
