Assigns too much unrelated homework (expects you to spend 15-20 hours outside of class on this class).

Homework and tests are the only things that count towards a grade in this class. THe homework is much tougher than the actual tests given but it dies count towards half the overall grade. Average lectures and sometimes helpful. Will have to rely mostly on self-studying and outside resources.

I stopped going to lecture pretty soon into the class. This class is mainly just doing a lot of homework so be aware. The good thing is it’s 50% of your grade, so if you do it all then you’re good but there are pretty tough problems. Class just wasn’t very useful. Midterm was easy, final was hard.

Prof boola is the goat and anyone who says his class is too hard is probably an econ major lmao

Reiterating what was stated before, Professor Agboola assigns a ridiculous amount of homework. I have never spent so much time for one class in my life. There is also a huge gap between what is taught in lecture, and the homework problems that are from the textbook. I found that going to lecture was practically pointless.

Homework is INSANE. If the units are based on homework amount, this should be a 10-unit class, NOT KIDDING. What's more ridiculous is that only a few homework problems are randomly graded, all for correctness-that means you don't get credit for completion of the rest. Refused to reduce the HW amount upon our request. Avoid taking him if possible.

If he graded his own lectures like he did his exam questions: all or nothing, then the many mistakes he made, would make him a D or F prof. Assigned INSANE amounts of homework each week. 1 midterm, full lecture load, and 19 multipart/long HW problems all due in two weeks in the middle. Also insanely rude and condescending. Wouldn't recommend.

Don't take 122 with him this will ruin your GPA. His midterm grading does not give any partial credit if you get the result wrong and he gives a B- for 88.9% overall score which is ridiculous. Very unhelpful office hour and do not care about students.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He doesn't care about his students. Gives homework problems that are way too hard compared to the problems he discusses in lecture. VERY unorganized.

Initially his lectures were hard to understand as he really tries to teach conceptually rather than practically, however in the long run it really does help to understand it on the deeper level. The homework was online and occationally ridiculously long, but still doable. His sense of humor absolutely cracked me up but not everyone feels that.

Lectures are only useful if you want to know what's going on in the class. (But even then you can probably ask a friend who's also taking the class or just go to CLAS). I had taken Calc before, so I didn't feel like I was learning anything - it was mostly review. CLAS was incredibly useful for practice. VERY SARCASTIC HUMOR.

I went to most lectures, but learned more from 10 minute YouTube videos than his hour or so long lectures. Midterm and final were nothing like his lectures and the harder parts of the tons of homework he assigns. The class is very much do-able, but if you really want to learn in lecture, he isn't really the go to professor.

Agboola is a cool dude (or not; his most redeeming quality is his bucket hat), but not a great lecturer. Don't waste your time going to lectures, just work on the 60 buggy webworks problems he puts out. I never went to section, but CLAS can teach you everything you need to know. The midterm and final were easy compared to the homework.

The only things i remember from his lectures are partial fraction decomposition and arc length, the rest my TA taught me and khan academy, his lectures are confusing and he repeats examples of riemann sums like no other. His hw takes an insane amount of time and effort where the midterm was a joke compared to the hw. Try to get a different prof.

No one attends his lectures because they are terrible so he assigns a fk ton of homework

As others have said, midterm and final extremely easy compared to the difficult homework. Lectures were confusing, and I think I would've done the same without going. Going to section helped a bit on the homework. A little challenging if you are someone like me who hates math.

Tests were far less scary than the homework, but lectures were a joke. Don't expect to learn much. CLAS is mandatory.

Lots of work. Lecture was painfully slow. Material is actually quite easy, but no room is left for any errors of any kind on homework or tests.

A lot of homework, which can be very difficult. The midterm and final are very easy by comparison, though.

If you haven't taken calculus before, then this subject is pretty tough. I wouldn't say he is the best professor in the world, but in terms of the math department at UCSB, he's alright. His HW is HARD, but his tests are a piece of cake. Go to CLAS, do your HW, and you can do well in his class.

I could have probably never gone to class and still passed. All he did in class was go over confusing proofs which never came up on tests anyway. Homework is tedious, long and tough but if you can do the homework, the midterm/final is SO EASY. His midterm/final consisted of the simplest forms of what we learned. CLAS/section helped so much.

Don't even bother attending lecture. Most of his lecture is proving the theory and formulas. I learned most of my stuff through CLAS, the textbook, and Khan Academy. His midterm was stupidly easy. His final was ok--I felt like I got 1-2 wrong, but I ended the class with an A. But beware of a LOT of tough hw. Do all of it though, it prepares you wel

The midterm and final weren't bad, but the HW was way too hard at times. My TA couldn't figure questions out in the time allotted for section so he had to email the explanation after class. One time the prof couldn't even solve his own example problem and told us to do it on our own later. I learned all of the material from CLAS aka my grade saver.

When it comes to 3B with Agboola, you kind of become your own teacher. I learned the most from my TA and the book. He is very entertaining and his jokes are terrible but he finds them to hilarious, which in itself is hilarious. If you've taken AP calc AB in high school, you've already seen half of this course's material.
