Dont take this professor, the lecture examples are too easy to the point that doing the homework is having to teach yourself the topics again. And the exams were awful, harder than any problems given by the homework/worksheets. The questions on the exams were nothing like the practice. I do not recommend this professor.

Avoid him at all costs! This professor does not care about his students. He made the final exam the same as the one in another lecture, but he never explained the related concepts well. In addition, the other professor has a much better grading scheme (15% homework, 85% exam for us; 25% homework with 3 extra credit points toward the final grade for the lecture with the other professor), which makes it extremely unfair. He even disabled Piazza after students shared their feelings about the exam. The average for the final was around 70, and it accounts for 50% of the total grade. The lectures are terrible as well, with no notes or recordings posted. Overall, he is the worst choice for 32B.

No lecture notes, no recordings at all. This professor is not who he used to be. Do not trust his high score. The major problem is he himself might not even understand his lecture as they seem unprepared. He even took the final of another professor as our final, but the other professor covered all the problem types in his not while VKK did not even have lecture notes. This makes his tests super hard for his students but relatively easy for students in other lectures.

Really good glass. The homework was very manageable and had a lenient late policy. The exams were reasonable. The lectures were also recorded, but I usually went to them in-person since they were very engaging helpful. Would highly recommend taking Varvarezos if you can

This class pleasantly surprised me because Prof. Varvarezos was not previously reviewed on BruinWalk. He, however, was a very normal lecturer and he described concepts in a clear manner. We were allowed a notes page on all tests and both midterms were very easy; he does not try to fool you on exams. Some people complained that the final was more difficult than the midterms but I did not think it was too bad. If you do bad in this class it's kinda just on you.

I didn't go to lectures but sometimes watched them online. He seemed to be a very good professor and I heard good things about him. Tests were never too hard and the pacing and workload was good.

Konstantinos is an overall amazing professor!

I didn't attend about 4 lectures due to travel, but since the class is BruinCast it's very easy to keep up with the material.

His homework is VERY reasonable- only 6-10 problems per week and is really good practice for tests.

His midterms are also very fair- I found both midterms easy, and they were direct applications of the content learned in class.

The final was relatively difficult compared to the midterms but not unreasonable (just required a deeper level of thinking/understanding).

Konstantinos is a very kind person and always pauses his lecture for people's questions. He is always willing to help students out, so definitely go to office hours if you need help!
Totally recommend this class to prospective students!

Professor Varvarezos is an excellent lecturer with reasonable homework and exams. However, I did not enjoy attempting the discussion worksheets. If they were shorter and more manageable to complete with a group during section, I would have enjoyed this course much more.

Good course - the professor explains concepts very clearly in lecture (though he does adhere pretty closely to the textbook), and he does a good job answering questions during class and office hours. The workload is not especially high: one homework (approx. 8 textbook questions of average difficulty, graded on correctness) and a discussion worksheet (graded on completion) every week.

The exams were all relatively simple - pretty much all of the questions were just straightforward calculations using things from lecture. Notecards were permitted for the midterms, and a single cheat sheet for the final.

Konstantinos Varvarezos is by far the best professor I have ever had. He's incredibly kind, patient, and intelligent. He answers all questions asked in lecture clearly and simply. I only got a C cause I was sick on the day of the final and did horribly. The class itself is super hard and if you don't have to take it you shouldn't, but if you do, Varvarezos is the prof you want.
