AWFUL TEACHER!!! He cannot explain anything in comprehensible terms. He just talks directly to the board the entire hour. He never provides example problems, and just goes into a lengthy proof of the idea, which he later tells us we don't need to know. If I have to hear him say "exes squared" one more time....

Not the best teacher ever or anything, but i guess he gets the job done considering calculus is pretty boring. He is quite repetitive in class though.

His lectures were inspiring. I had no clue what I could do professionally until I took this class. He connects concepts to the real world. Great prof and sweet person too. This class with him is a must for all applied math majors.

He is great. He has a special talent to explain things and to connect to applications. He is really funny and approachable. Best prof I had at UCSB

Explains concepts well and goes through a lot of examples. Practice midterm was identical to the real midterm. Homework is hard, but not worth that much. CLAS is a good call.

Probably the best Math prof. that I've had at this university (and I've almost had them all). His boardwork is perfect, he spends lots of time making sure you understand theory and his tests are very fair (do the practice ones!). He isn't exactly the type of prof. to just GIVE you the answer, but he'll point you in the right direction. A+!

simply the best. funny as hell and excellent at explaining things; his boadwork is great! Very approachable and he is hot too!

Boring!!!!! and he had the nerve to question why i didnt come to class. midterms is like the practice. he goes through material too fast and he doesnt care if you know how to program or not.

Class is somewhat difficult for people with no programming experience. Prof flys through material by providing proofs for methods rather making sure students intuitively understand material. No one seems to be very interested until he cracks a joke or two...not enough to make the class worthwhile.

To the reviewer below: you wouldn't know a good professor if he smacked you in the face with knowledge.

WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING TEACHER. GOT AN A+ and I slept through class & barely did any homework. VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE GUY. HOT TOO! IMHO

He's not bad at all. Despite the homework being easy it is all totally busy work though. This class takes time to understand everything fully so you can't try to do everything at the last minute.

Two weeks into the class and I have to give him an F--. He is completely unclear, and the book is awful to boot. He teaches math as if it's voodoo.

tests are pretty fair. really good teacher, but not that helpful in office hours. homeworks are hard and are graded unfairly but if you can do them you are set for the tests.

Very good.

go to review sessions they help

Great professor. He is very good at explaining concepts and gives great examples. His tests are very much like the practice exams he posts online. Homework is worth a lot for a math class and he only grades one or two problems, so if you mess up on the hw it can really affect your grade. Overall I loved the class.

Awesome teacher. Practice tests just like midterm/final.

Clear, gave lots of good examples, and gave tests that were reasonable.

hes a good teacher, and lectures are actually helpful to attend. his midterm wasn't too bad either

AWESOME!

Great prof, writes a little small for people in the back, but nonetheless a clear and concise professor. Quite well spoken and understandable for a guy whose first language wasn't English. Really, better at speaking English than many American profs. Uncommon for a calculus prof. :)

Very clear and easy to understand. A good teacher.
