This class was just not my thing. Yes, you can succeed in this class quite easily and some people love this class, but I just didn't.

Arthur is a new professor and it shows. He is honestly a great guy. He's super charming, good looking (that's just a side note I wanted to include, heheheheh) and genuinely cares. However, I believe he has a long way to go as a professor. He needs to work on being more concise when explaining. He often goes on and on and it's confusing. I would also recommend him doing more practice questions in class, rather than just explaining theory. However, having said that he has a lot of potential to be great and I am sure with time he will be.

The textbooks for this class is useless. The coding is just annoying busy work. If you want to do well in this class just focus on the lecture slides and the practice tests he posts.

Throughout the quarter I actually really liked this class. Artur is super cool and a really great teacher. I always felt like I understood all the concepts and he was good about reviewing material from the previous class at the beginning of each new class. The homework wasn’t very hard but the coding sucksss. It’s actually the worst and I hated it. My TA was pretty useless but luckily my LA was able to help a lot. I’m not sure why we need to learn to code at all. Even though I never really got it and was actually pretty terrible at it, it wasn’t hard to get good grades on it. I actually considered this my easiest class this quarter which is why I was really surprised it was my lowest grade. I got perfect scores on all of the homework assignments, got full participation points and got nearly perfect lab scores. However, the tests are worth 65% of the whole class. The midterm is 25% and the final is 40%. I got a B on both and landed a B+ in the class. Make sure to study more than you think you’ll need to because Arthur’s tests were definitely harder than the practice tests he gave us from other teachers. So do be overconfident.

Although I did not get a good grade, part of it was on my end, personal issues, but I WOULD RECOMMEND to take this professor! I did not take calculus in highschool but I still managed to understand the concepts. The coding ranges from medium to hard, but other than that, this professor was really helpful and he is very engaging in lectures and funny at times. If he sees that most of the class is struggling on a certain topic/concept, he will review the topic/concept again until most of the class understands. This shows he truly cares about the students learning and offers many resources for the students to succeed in the class. I would def. retake this course again If i could.

For a first time professor, I thought that Artur did amazing. It seemed as though he had been teaching the course for years. His lectures were engaging and well-structured. At times, the coding can be difficult, but there are many opportunities to get help with it. He also is very attentive is his office hours, and I would strongly recommend going. There are often not that many people there, so you can clear up any questions about homework before it is due. I would say that the workload is manageable, but I wouldn’t recommend leaving labs and homework until the day they are due. His exams were challenging, but they were manageable. Overall a great professor and great person.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He is a GREAT math professor (coming from someone who loves math) He is very engaging and makes funny jokes/ laughs throughout the class. This class is somewhat of a follow up from 30A (some content is sort of new but not really (matrices etc)). His hw assignments were doable use lecture slides for help/ office hours, and great for exam practice. The labs some were challenging others straightforward, for TA I had Hao Lee and he was very very helpful! If you’re stuck on a question he will walk you through for you to come up with solutions and can be funny at times. The midterm was neither hard nor easy, more easy than hard though, I did okay but that’s on my end making those tiny mistakes. The final was also hard nor easy depending on some questions, if you go to his final review/ office hours (which highly recommend) he will walk through practice problems from past exams which is VERY helpful as you can review your answers and compare thought process etcc. If you study efficiently you’re set to do good on exams! Pay attention in lecture, do practice problems from past exams/textbook, and go to review sessions + office hours and you’re good to go!

I took LS30A with Artur and it was his first time teaching the course, but in my opinion, he did an excellent job! He's pretty young but since day 1 he seemed very knowledgeable about the material and was always ready to answer questions. During lecture he always reviews the new material from the previous lecture, so the concepts blend together and it is easier to understand the context of what he's saying. The midterm and final were not bad at all, they were just like all of the practice midterms and finals that he posted on CCLE for the class to review with. The grading scheme is pretty fair, and even if you get a B/B- on the midterm and/or final, its still possible to get an A in the class just because of clicker points and homework. I would 10/10 recommend that you take Artur for this class or LS30B, which he also teaches.

If you already took calculus I would say you will do well in this class.

Artur tries to teach this class as if it isn't calculus which makes what he is teaching even more confusing. I eventually just starting going to class for the clicker questions (which are mandatory) and working on the homework in class.

The textbook is provided online but you must have a clicker for participation points.

There is one coding lab and one homework assignment due every week. The coding is based on correctness and the homework on completion.

Artur is very helpful during his office hours and explains the topics more in depth so I really recommend going to as many as you can!

This class was easy to me because I had a background in calculus and wasn't relying on him to actually teach the materials, however, if you don't have that background, I recommend taking this class with a different professor.

I LOVE ARTUR!! He is such an amazing and approachable professor who truly cares about student learning. He is very personable and he handled the online transition (due to COVID19) very well and I think it reflects on his character very well. He is very honest and real and relateable. I wish he taught more classes:)

Going into LS30A, I knew this class wouldn't be too difficult compared to the Math 3 series or 31 series. However, I was a little apprehensive about taking it with a professor who had no reviews on Bruin Walk. I soon came to realize that Artur wasn't a bad professor by any means. He is a nice guy and genuinely cares about his students. He makes sure that students understand the material by allowing them to ask questions during lecture and he encourages attending his office hours if need be. The midterm wasn't too difficult, but there was one question that was a little tricky. The final was much easier compared to the midterm as long as you put the work in to understand the concepts. Overall, I would highly recommend taking LS30A with Artur!

Took this class fall '19 which was my first quarter at UCLA and Artur's first quarter teaching. He is so organized and so knowledgeable on this topic that I had no idea that was his first quarter, I didn't learn that until I took 30B with him winter quarter after that. Highly underrated prof. I didn't hear students talk about him much (probably because he was new) but going forward students need to know he is a great professor. His slides are organized very well and he is a prof with good character who responds to the needs of the students. If you've taken AP Calc in high school, you could easily get an A in this class by doing the bare minimum, but an A+ is really not hard if you apply yourself a bit and go to office hours.
