Worst professor I have had at UCSB. Extremely rude to students and wants you to fail. First midterm and final average were in the 50% range and he claimed that was ideal. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

class is graded on webwork, two midterms, & a final (best exam is weighed more, +10%). he listened to criticism, adding partial credit & offering points back after midterm 1. his practice exams were almost identical to the real ones + you can use a cheat sheet on all exams. clas tutorial groups were more helpful in explaining the material :/

Honestly nothing to complain about. You're expected to know lecture + textbook content and that's what's on the exams. Exams consistently averaged 50-60% but curved GENEROUSLY at the end.

Horrible lectures, and even worse exams. Simply does not teach material that is presented on exams. Do not take

Would not recommend. Confusing lectures and very difficult tests. Mean for final was 55% take porter

averages of 55% on a math 34B final is kinda insane. take porter

Prof shared an announcement after the final, saying ChatGPT found a high level of similarity between the practice exam and the final. AI Era 🤣

This course is not hard in general but the professor is not good at teaching.The course is graded off 20% webwork, 20% mid 1, 20% mid 2, 25% final, and max grade of your three exams 10%. There are no calculators allowed on exams and he gives very specific numbers but you are allowed a full page cheat sheet. I would not recommend this teacher.

Well-organized lectures and clear explanations. Give make-up points for midterms. Put efforts and time to help students understand course materials.

The course was well, I wish it wasn't an 8am

Pretty clear on grading, offers a couple bonus points on exams. Practice exam and hw is almost identical to real exam-allows full page cheat sheet. I'm not the best at math but I've done just fine in the class so far. Drops lowest two hw scores and also bumps your grade for attending section. Does not curve exams however. Is fair, just put in work

- did not explain the answers he got on problems in class, often would just give the answer - quiet as hell despite being told to speak up - gave literally just the answer on the midterm practice solutions, AND the actual midterm was way harder. - hard to understand - bad handwriting - by far, in general, one of the worse professors here.
