If Brian Shin has a million supporters, I AM ONE OF THEM. If Brian Shin has a thousand supporters, I AM ONE OF THEM. If Brian Shin has one supporter, I AM THAT SUPPORTER. If he has no supporters, THEN I AM DEAD. IF THE WORLD IS AGAINST BRIAN SHIN, I AM AGAINST THE WORLD.

Take this man's class. He assigns a short, easy homework and a short, easy quiz once a week. His midterms and finals use questions that are extremely similar to the homework questions he assigns, and his lectures are closely based on the textbook. He also skipped a bunch of sections in the textbook and told us we wouldn't have to worry about them on the exams, which took a huge load off of us when studying.

Hot take but I think Shin is a little overrated. He is a good professor and really good at explaining concepts during lectures but he's not perfect. Although he is good at lecturing, the lectures do not cover all the information you need in the class and you need to do your own studying and reading of the textbook to supplement the lectures and he himself let us know during office hours. However, it would've been nice to know that without having to go to office hours. Despite this, Shin is still a really good professor and is extremely fair on his midterms and finals in my opinion. If you understand and can solve all the homework problems, you should be able to get a 100% on the tests (other than the multiple choice questions that are extremely conceptual).

Take Prof. Brian Shin if you can! Getting an A in his class is very manageable as his tests are based of the homework and textbook. The homework per week is also pretty light. In addition, he's a chill guy with a majestic beard and he probably plays League of Legends!

If every Professor in UCLA is as generous as Shin, every student who works hard will graduate with a 4.0 GPA.

Brian Shin is probably my favorite lecturer in all of the UCLA math department. His lectures are often pulled from the textbook and are simplified into more digestible material. His homework is only 4 problems graded for accuracy. If you all the recommended homework problems and pay attention in lecture, I feel like an A is a very attainable grade in this class.

Brian is clear, concise, and funny. Excellent professor. No attendance grade. About a B+ average on all the tests because of generous partial credit, so no curve. They're straightforward and fair. Homework is very light. Don't slack off too much and you should be fine.

Professor Shin is definitely one of the best 32a professors out there. While he oftentimes doesn't finish lectures during class, he posts lectures notes and bruincast in a timely manner. However, his lectures aren't even necessarily needed because most of his examples come straight from the textbook. He does a good job of synching what is learned in the book and what is taught in lecture. Discussion sections are mandatory and not the most helpful since it didn't seem like the TAs and the professor communicated a lot over this course. The midterms and finals were very fair, as long as you knew how to do the homework, you'd be fine. Professor Shin never made us draw graphs or read lengthy word problems. Even for topics like quadric surfaces our test questions would simply be multiple choice. There are weekly homeworks (4 questions each with optional problems) and 1 quiz (very conceptual and often 2-3 multiple choice questions), but at the end of the quarter he let us drop 2 quizzes and 3 homeworks. I would definitely recommend him!

THE GOAT

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.
