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!

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!!

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!

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.

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.

He's a caring professor who wants you to do well in his class. He posts lecture videos twice a week and they're kind of long but if you watch them and do all the homework, you'll do well on his quizzes and tests.

Professor Shakerian was one of the kindest and most accommodating professors with the pandemic. He has very detailed lectures, clear expectations, and he really cares about his students! He was also super accessible through email and office hours. Overall, really recommend his class:)

Really easy to get a good grade. Most of the points come from HW assignments. Even if you don't do good on tests/quizzes you will probably still get an A. Office hours are really helpful for asking HW questions and he explains concepts well. Lecture videos are posted twice per week and usually a little over an hour long.

Math 3B with professor Shakerian was by far the easiest math class I've ever taken. The grading breakdown is made up in a way that it's almost impossible to do bad (the class average was a 92 this quarter). Moreover, the professor is a really nice and caring guy and will provide great help if you need it.

Shakerian is a nice teacher, but his lectures are way too long and can definitely be more concise. His grading weights are really nice because almost 70% of your grade is homework and 13% is quizzes and the rest is the final. It's not that hard of a class, but you definitely need to put more time in towards the end.

Really really nice professor. Just take it, you won't ever regret!
