Used a lot of examples in class and very good at answering questions. Textbook also pretty useful. Sometimes had pop quizzes but they were never difficult. Homework had to be typed on LaTeX which was annoying. The final was easy if you did the practice exam.

Very thick accent and mumbles a lot, so sometimes lectures were hard to understand. Explained things in a way that was usually more complicated than needed (if he did explain concepts). Wanted students to do well. Math TA saved me, best I've had. Literally did not know anything that was going on and got an A. Still don't know what a vector is.

This man might be the worst lecturer OAT. I did not gain a single thing from him reading off the slides, and 3blue1brown carried this class. He also got emasculated when he couldn't solve problems, saying things like "i don't usually do these computations." Lin alg is fascinating and he didn't convey this at all.

While the class is relatively easy to get through, the homework was frustratingly long and I never really got what he was talking about in lecture. He works through things fast and doesn't spend time explaining much. I know a friend who went to lecture once the whole quarter, studied the week before the final, and got an A. The final is worth 40%..

I went to every lecture, but didn't gain much. Occasionally, he would mention a topic that may show up on the midterm. A large lecture issue was the computational errors. (multiple times per lecture) Also, even my TA didn't understand one of the homework problems. The final was 40% and no partial credit, but the problems and curve were fair.

Ponce is the worst math professor I have seen. His final was easy in retrospect, but didn't grade for partial credit. I never went to his lectures because when I did, I couldn't understand what he was doing. You can easily self study but avoid him at all costs. I am a math major and he is an awful professor.
