Lectures are not the most helpful and English is not his first language. I learned more from the TA. However, 3B should be easy if you took AP calc in high school.

Lectures are fast and hard to follow. However Becker really knows his stuff and is willing to help always. I personally hardly went to class so not too shocked by my grade but if I actually went and consistently asked for help from him I'm confident I would have gotten an A

professor becker is the GOAT. easily best professor ive had at ucsb. his lectures go really fast so you have to be super focused during lectures but his practice exams and homework is the same as his exams. the homework he gives is usually manageable too and he gives extremely good feedback on them especially on proofs. 10/10 professor.

Second time taking a course with Becker, he is an excellent professor with significant teaching ability. Sad to see him go.

Weird to say but genuinely enjoyed doing his homework. All problems are pretty simple and can be solved with lecture notes. Very caring, and extremely forgiving with grading. He's nice guy, and while lectures can be long, he is very passionate. Definitely worth getting to know him. Solid curve too on exams

Becker's Math 8 is on the harder side compare to other professors. The HW were extremely difficult and I couldn't have done it without his and the TA's Office Hour. Lectures are really fast paced and sometimes hard to understand, but he truly cares about his students. Tests were slightly difficult but I would say it's fair as long as you study.
