6B . 4 Years Ago

If there's any professor you want to choose for Math 6b (or really any other math course), its Shakerian. Has an extremely clear grading criteria and very helpful in office hours. The final was more difficult than most students expected, but he graded it pretty leniently and allowed most students to get an A if they put in the effort. Great prof!

MATH6B . 4 Years Ago

Clear grading criteria and GS was set up extremely well. Course content was fairly simple but the final was super hard. However HW (webwork) was 70% of grade so students didn't have to worry about grade too much. Lectures were super long but extremely informative. Helpful in OH too. You can tell he really cares abt students. Definitely recommend!!

MATH117 . 5 Years Ago

He is amazing at explaining complicated math concepts. He has clean, neat, and organized notes and is really good during office hours. The midterms and finals can be difficult, but he is a generous grader and office hours help a ton!

MATH3B . 5 Years Ago

Throughout the quarter the work was not bad. There were no tests since we were online. But, the lectures were sooo painfully long and he talks very slowly. The homework on webwork took a decent amount of time. Throughout the quarter we had quizzes on webwork with no time limit which did not prepare us well for the final.

He was really nice and I tried really hard in his class. But towards the end he was in a bit of a hurry to teach us everything because he kinda lost track of how fast the quarter was going.

MATH3B . 5 Years Ago

This class was quite easier than other math classes I've taken but like most math classes, there is quite a lot of homework. The lectures take about two hours each and he gives out two of them every week which go with the HW and is a big part of your grade. Go to Math lab if you need help and can't make it to the professor or TA's office hours.
