Lectures were very informative but there definitely wasn't enough time which is why I recommend doing practice problems from the textbook. To study for exams, I would recommend doing practice problems instead of just doing the homework and attending lectures/section.

His lectures are useless. Half the grade is free, midterm and final are hard.

Prof Wainwright is a great guy, and his class was really interesting. Took 120A as an elective, and it was fairly hard, but if you keep up with TA material and study with his resources (and CLAS) you will do fine. He helped me out when I had a scheduling conflict and really does care about student success. You will be extremely prepared for 120B!

Very good professor. HW is slightly challenging, but is 50 percent of grade and is based on completion which is great. Both the midterm and the final are very fair, as long as you understand the material. The only slight downside is that his lectures are slightly boring. Also, the PSTAT CLAS 120A made my Jeremy Li is incredibly helpful.

midterm was hard, but he curved a lot. Final was super essay, as far as i know a lot of people get full credits. However, his lecture was boring, but you have to go there since the explainations on the textbook were not clear. If you only read the textbook, it will be hard to get an A.

The first half of the quarter's content was covered really quickly and pretty confusing, but he slowed down a lot in the last half. Once he slowed down, I actually liked his lectures. The midterm was quite long so scores were very low, but he curved the whole class a lot at the end. The final was reasonable.

Midterm and final were difficult (especially the midterm), He accounts for it with a huge curve. Curves the entire class grade in the end Explains things clearly and throroughly answers questions Some people don't like his teaching style, but if that's the case, attendance isn't mandatory he provides a textbook that explains the material well

Professor Wainwright is a super nice guy and very helpful during office hours, but unfortunately mundane during lecture. His slides are ripped from the textbook with little elaboration, and his examples are also from the book, but often skip "trivial" steps which can make them hard to follow during lecture. Homework is graded on completion.

Gives long exams that make it difficult to finish in time but he very generous curves

While Brian isn't the worst teacher, he definitely fumbled the midterm W24 (avg. was ~50% after curve). I scored extremely low but still managed to pass the class after numerous office hour visits and practice. My advice to succeed is to do extra HW prob. from the book as he uses it for tests Grade Scale was 30 HW, 15 Section, 25 Midterm, 30 Final.

Sped through example problems in lecture, had to do a lot of review outside of class. Midterm was unreasonably short but he did curve it and the final had several problems drawn directly from the textbook, overall difficulty was pretty manageable. As long as you study consistently w/ examples from the textbook you should pass, could have been worse

His tests are the most unreasonable exams I have ever taken at this school. His lecture notes are oftentimes disorganized. At least bro seems like a nice guy
