Just 5 online tests, and homeworks which are not that bad. But the class is poorly taught, mainly depends on the student to self study with youtube, CLAS, finding the textbook online, or hope they have a good TA.

Class was very easy, 5 online, at home tests instead of a midterm/final. Not good at lecturing, talks too much about theory and not enough about how to actually solve problems, but my TA understood that and was how I did all of my learning for this class.

Professor Labutin's lectures make no sense. Going to lecture just made me more confused. There are no midterms or final, just quizzes every other week that are take home, open note. Having a good TA and attending CLAS made the class manageable.

Labutin's lectures are usually confusing and hard to keep up with. That being said, this class is a free A, all tests are online and at-home, open note.

Professor Labutin was a challenge, in that -though he seems to be a very caring and available teacher- he did very little explanation in his lectures. It was hard to follow what was being talked about, and more times than not I ended up having to teach myself. If you have him, make use of TAs, videos on youtube, and study groups for understanding.

Prof. Labutin is nearly unintelligible in lectures and very disorganized. In a lecture of about 500 students, eventually less than 100 showed up. Despite this, the exams were super easy and the class average was in the high 90s. Homework is tedious but manageable.

I didn't go to any of the lectures this quarter but the online quizzes were easy. The professor was almost impossible to understand so you have to self-learn to do the homework but the grading is super easy so it's a trade off. I would do the homework little by little throughout the week because it gets a lot to wait until Saturday.

I never really attended his lectures. The combination of his fast-paced lectures and his heavy accent made them hard to follow along, so I self-taught the entire course. However, I will say that the exams themselves were very fair, easy even, (there were five throughout the quarter and he dropped the lowest score) and so I did well in the class.

Basically a terrible lecturer but so easy to pass the class. Don't go to lecture, do the homework problems, review the slides, and do the practice midterm problems. Midterms are super easy, no reason anyone shouldn't get an A in the class.

All tests are take home and online so it's the freest A ever. Lectures are confusing and his accent is difficult to understand. You won't learn much.

I took 4A and it was a super easy A. Professor has a super thick accent and his lectures are practically useless, but all tests are online and there is no midterm or final. Additionally, your lowest test score is dropped. I would recommend CLAS for this class if you can't understand the lectures.

Professor Labutin teaches Math 4A extremely well, once you get past his heavy accent which usually happens after the second or third week of lecture, the class becomes super easy as 90% of the class is just repeated applications of the reduced-row echelon form which is introduced in the very first lecture. Overall, his class is was super enjoyable.
