Professor Daryl kept things fun and engaging in this class. While the lectures could be a bit confusing at times, the class itself was pretty easy. Unstuckstudy AI and the practice tests helped a lot with preparation.

Despite some lectures being a bit confusing, this class ended up being a breeze. The professor's hilarious antics and jokes made the lectures fun, and the course overall was very manageable. Definitely check out the recorded lectures and don't skip class - it's worth it for the entertainment factor alone!

Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOODBYE DARYL! Enjoy retirement in France! Best (now retired) teacher I've ever had at UCSB. Made me want to show up to every class. His jokes never got old. The class felt more like a lighthearted comedy show than a lecture- amazing.

Honestly not that good of a professor, but he makes everything super easy. The tests were all online and the lectures were not mandatory. He was very funny in class cracking jokes and I would love to see him teach again, but unfortunately he is an old retired man in Cuba now. Wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Lectures were difficult to understand and confusing, but overall an easy class.

gonna be so real, I love him but not the best teacher. lectures got a little confusing because he makes lots of jokes but class itself so easy so it didn't really matter.

Daryl is the best professor I've had so far. He makes class so fun and his TA's were very helpful with homework and midterm review :) Wishing him the best retirement ever!

Rip to a real one, played the greatest songs before class started, I was introduced to the song 'Like a Surgeon." During one particularly sick week of class, you could hear a symphony of 800 people sporadically coughing and sneezing and sniffling all throughout the lecture. D.A.R.Y.L. would occasionally mimic someone when they coughed, classic.

I enjoyed this class! Very funny, definitely loved to go to his office hours. Will tell you if you're asking a dumb question but is helpful. You can skip lectures and be okay because he uploads recordings but he uses iClicker. He goes over the practice tests and some practice problems that aren't on the slides in person around test time.

I'm so happy i took this class before he retired but he's genuinely a great professor i'm glad i had him

Had the pleasure of having Daryl for his last class ever before retirement. He is hilarious and always brightened my day!

I really enjoyed having Daryl as my MATH 34A professor and am sad to not be in MATH 34B with him. 3 lectures, 1 section, 3 homework assignments per week. Textbook was free, had unlimited attempts on homework problems. He also has videos uploaded to help with homework. 4 exams, all take home. He was hilarious and a very entertaining professor!

Professor Cooper is great, lectures are entertaining and he makes an effort to make sure that the material is being understood. I would recommend this class to anyone.

D.A.R.Y.L is one of the best professors here at UCSB, he loves when you asks questions and always takes the time to explain further if necessary.

D.A.R.Y.L. IS AMAZING!! He will make fun of you for asking stupid questions during office hours but when it comes down to it he actually cares and is very funny. His online recorded lectures were very helpful. He is also amazing at explaining the material and breaking everything down to simple terms. If you put in the work you will pass this class!

Honestly the best math teacher I've ever had in my entire school career.

Very good

Daryl is an awesome professor! Such a shame he's retiring, a few quotes I've collected: "a chicken can do calculus, the hard bit is the words" "mathematics is just common sense on steroids" "math is easy, thinking is hard" "fractions are the work of satan"

Class was extremely easy if you are ahead in math from high school or college. Much of the content in the class is review from stuff you learned in the past. Only hard part is word problems in homework and tests. Daryl is extremely funny and it is a joy going to lectures and discussion groups often end very early.

D.A.R.Y.L is the absolute GOAT!!! May he live happily ever after in the French Riviera.

Great math professor.

Cooper cares about his students and will work with them to ensure they know what they need to do to get the grade they want. He's a great lecturer and drops the lowest grades in multiple criteria. Amazing professor

Daryl was an amazing professor. He was clear and understandable in all of his lectures, adding his signature flair through jokes and funny videos. Provided many, many resources for homework help, practice exams and explanations for specific topics. Always very accessible and open to giving help. 100% would recommend his class.
