MCCAMMOND J P
He is a very good prof. You will have a good idea of what is on his tests and how to approach it. Proofs are not fully straight forward but if you do the homework you should be able to figure it out. Overall, very fair and is extremely helpful in office hours.
The best math professor I've ever had at UCSB. He puts a lot of effort into his lectures and his exams are very fair. You will have to work hard to do well though. The homework assignments are several pages long since Math 108A is a tough course, but he made it understandable and enjoyable. I wish he was teaching 108B.
Very good at explaining things. 108A is a hard class but his lectures are clear and he is thorough. Accessible during office hours. Want to take more of his classes.
Very easy class. His tests are straight forward and only cover the basics. The homework is fairly easy and is a good respresentation of how the tests are. Be sure to go to the in class reviews he holds before each midterm and final, they are very helpful.
Best professor ever, 4A is really easy tbh, and I felt like this is easier than 3A & 3B. His midterms and final are easy and conceptual. As long as you go to the lectures, do homework, read the textbook (sometimes it really helps), this should be an easy A for you. Highly recommended.
Definitely the best professor I have ever had. The tests are simple and straightforward. His lectures were amazing and he explained the math, why the math mattered, how what we were learning tied to everything else. I would love to take another class from him, he reminded me why I love math.
The best professor i have ever taken in the math department. He makes 4A so simple to understand. There are two midterms which are fairly easy if you go to lecture, majority of the class gets A/B. He has a review day where he explains what kind of questions could possibly show up and gives hints to what will be on there. Overall, take him
He's such a great teacher. We do all the cool stuff in class. He is really helpful about the homework.
McCammond is easily one of the best math professors at UCSB by far. All of his lectures are incredibly useful and the concepts he teaches are crystal clear. His tests are straight forward and he doesn't try to make the tests overly difficult. Honestly, as a physics major, he provided an excellent basis to my much needed understanding of vector calc
He is a wonderful professor. His homework is relatively difficult, but his tests are very straightforward. He also gives review sessions where he all but tells you exactly what will be on the exam. Overall I think he is definitely one of the better math professors.
He is a wizard. The best teacher I've ever had. Straight up.
The textbook sucks so don't even buy it. His test were very straight forward and if you knew your stuff it is an easy A. Very good professor with an excellent ability to help students visualize the 3-D objects or spaces.
