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.

Great professor, he deserves better score

His teaching style and fast-paced lectures forced me to always pay attention in class which can be tiring, but was ultimately helpful and effective. I think he's a good professor who enjoys the material he is teaching, but I'm sure there are easier professors out there.

Really great professor! Going to lecture and office hours helps a lot. Exams were very fair.

Professor Becker is an awesome guy. It is clear that he really cares about the education of his students and making sure their grades reflect the work they put into the class. His exams were not too easy, but not so hard as to ever require a curve. They were also always timed well. His lectures were very clear and the homework was not too bad.

Becker's 6A was not bad. I learned a lot from his lecture. I think his practice midterm reflects his actual exam, so even though the test is a bit hard it's still doable. The downside of Becker is his handwriting. His handwriting are at times hard to read. Overall I'd a great experience!

I am not sure why Dr. Becker has so many bad reviews. I thought he was pretty good in math 8. It is a difficult class but he made it pretty doable, often asked if we were doing alright with the workload. Tests were difficult but curved.
