You know, I took this class well over a year ago and he still makes me angry. This guy would be better suited narrating a video of paint drying than teaching. K.C., what are you doing, why would you do this, is it too much to ask for lecture notes, or even intelligible lectures? I still want the results back from the final! Please stop teaching >:(
All midterms and the final is very similar to the practice exam, but you still need some self study to get a good grade in this course.
A+ Pros: Homework is at most 6 problems a week, practice tests are identical to tests, no participation grade, funny and caring man Cons: No online materials/notes (can't skip class), thicker accent, unorganized lecture topics are not coordinated with sections of the book, Final was worth 50%, cannot solo homework, sections teach nothing relevant
Honestly a lot of people did not like this class because it was not taught like other UCSB math classes. KC is extremely passionate about math and if you go to office hours you will gain a very in depth understanding of the material. Unfortunately 6A is a requirement for a lot of majors, ones that don't necessarily need that depth of understanding.
This is by far the worst math professor at UCSB. There was 3 courses for Math 6A being taught, the other two were maxed out, this one had 32 spots open. Avoid this professor at all costs.
He is one of the best teachers I've had! Well prepared for class and always ready to answer questions. Very passionate about the subject. Reasonable assignments and exams. Takes a minute to warm up to his students but committed to providing a good overall class experience.
