If you are a life science student stuck in the 30 series, take Jukka's class. He is the best. The class is challenging, but he provides excellent lecture materials and is engaging (and often funny). His assignments and homework are clearly related to the topics we're learning and are excellent prep for exams. He also has many extra office hours, where he goes over homework problems and weekly quiz answers, and review sessions for the midterm and the final. He was one of my best teachers at this school.

I am just not a math person, so this class was challenging for me. Jukka is very helpful though so if you have to take this class I would suggest having him. I was really struggling to understand the material and he was very accommodating in trying to help me as much as he could. I had the class online so this could be part of the problem. I feel like the grading is very fair. Almost too fair. I didn't understand anything in this class and still somehow finished with an A- which stunned me. So if you are like me and don't really like math, this class will be challenging, but if I was able to get an A I'm sure you will be able to as well.

Really great professor. I often watched the recordings on 2x speed instead of staying caught up with lectures but I think Jukka was really funny and helpful. Tests were similar to what was done in class, but the lab sections were a bit difficult and graded pretty harshly (you have to do coding).
