THE GOAT

Professor Shin is one of the best math professors in terms of how he teaches. He's chill and is very welcoming so you shouldn't be afraid to ask questions in class. Homework is hard, but thankfully he is very responsive to any questions (the TA Chuyin was also very helpful and if you need to pick a specific TA for a class choose her). If you can go to any of the office hours for Professor Shin or the TA, I would recommend going since they help break down ideas and tricks for solving problems that are more glossed over in lectures. Finally, DON'T FORGET QUANTIFIERS. You will lose easy points on homework and tests.

This class for many is the first you will have to take for an upper div math course. If there is anyone you would want to take it with it SHOULD be Shin. Lectures and HW are based off the book, and for many you could afford skipping lecture and reading his notes. The great thing about this class and Shin in general is that he is very down to earth and always willing to help. You never feel intimidated about reaching out to him during office hours. His exams are fair and homework based. The one drawback is that the grading is a bit on the stricter side, but it will force you to write better proofs. If you are able to get a spot in his lecture I would recommend 100%. He is for sure one of the chillest profs you will have.

Professor Shin is awesome! The homework load is manageable and his lectures are engaging and easy to follow. The exams are pretty fair since the problems are similar to those covered in class and on the homework (no trick questions). He also is generous with partial credit on exams. Overall, this class shouldn't be too stressful as long as you do the homework and take good notes during lecture. Lectures are also recorded. 10/10 would recommend taking Shin for 32A.

Professor Brian ia amazing! He has a great sense of humor that makes class engaging and records all of his lectures, which is super helpful for studying. Attending his lectures is better than watching the videos because he does practice problems in class, and actually doing them there gives you a chance to ask questions and clarify. He's very open to questions and answers them very thoroughly. Also, he usually answers questions on CampusWire (the Q and A website) promptly, so if you have a last minute question before a test, it really helps. Overall, I really enjoyed this class despite not being that into calculus and would take it again!

Shin is just the GOAT. Lectures are recorded and his explanations dumb it down to your level. Homework was super easy and quick. Tests were also really light. Take him for every class you can.

Brian Shin is one of the greatest lecturers and professors at UCLA. He is engaging, funny, and overall a must take if you can. His homework is really light, he gives quizzes each week that are easy to answer because the answers are in his notes. The exams are nothing tricky and based off notes and homework, and he will never give you something he did not cover. He also is generous with partial credit. B.Y. SHIN IS THE GOAT.

Great teacher, enjoyed his class. He taught the content very well, was engaging, funny, and honestly just real.

He's just a great teacher. Very good at explaining, tests are fair and accurate reflections of the homework. He is a super nice and approachable person, and he makes the class very straightforward. It was a very moderate level of difficulty, it wasn't super high stress but I still felt like I learned a lot.

I loved him. Genuinely one of the only teachers in the math department that is fair. Do the homework problems and really understand them and you should do well on all the exams. Tests are hard but the homeworks prepare you really well.
