Andrews is a really great professor. His lectures are generally engaging and he does very useful examples in class.

His tests are like the more difficult homework problems and are generally manageable. If you can do all the problems in the homework you'll be fine. His final was slightly more difficult but if you do enough practice, you'll be fine

Professor Andrews is a wonderful guy. Really chill, a great help, and explains the concepts extremely well.

Homework sets range from fairly straightforward to fairly tricky. We used Piazza, which was incredibly useful for working through the homework.

I definitely recommend going to Andrews's office hours. Without them, I would have spent much longer and been much more confused about the homework.

This class has two midterms and a final. All of the tests were fairly difficult; the medians were in the 60% range. I was probably tracking for a B or B+ but I got an 83% on the final, which helped big-time. I had to study a lot for it, though. Working through old homeworks is always a good idea.

Professor Andrews is a super reasonable guy. He was super understanding when I had some health issues come up right before a midterm. Although the tests themselves were difficult, he did a great job of teaching the harder calculus topics that I did not understand when I was taught them in high school. The only thing I struggled with was when he lectured and I felt like the examples he gave were a lot easier in class than on the homework and tests. But overall, I really liked him as a person.

Math 31B is has a lot to do with sequences and it was both interesting and annoying at the same time. On the flipside, Professor Andrews is very interesting and engaging. I'm sad that he is leaving academia but it was good being able to take a class with him. He sort of taught with a "doesn't give a shit" attitude, in a good way. He is very colloquial and expressive in regards to how he teaches math. Here is his SoundCloud account https://soundcloud.com/mjandr

PROS:

* Andrews is a great human being

* He assigns a lot of homework that really helps with grasping the subject matter

* Math can be fun

* Practice midterms/finals are very helpful

CONS:

* Some problems are frustrating, but that's math

* Apparently his tests are tricky, personally I felt like that was an exaggeration. There were still some oddball questions but it wasn't impossible

TIPS:

* Please check your homework, I didn't do that and was fine losing a few points every assignment because of my sloppy handwriting or simple algebra errors, but they add up. Personally, I used Desmos to check some of my graphs/derivatives, but I've seen people use Slader (or Chegg?)

* Do the practice tests

* If there is a hint on the midterm, ride/die with it, don't be a bonehead and ignore it

Professor Andrews is hands down the BEST professor and overall human being I've ever had at UCLA, and I'm not even exaggerating a little bit. I had him for 31A and 31B and he's hilarious, super intelligent, engaging, straightforward, and very nice/approachable. He somehow manages to make my least favorite subject in the world not only bearable, but almost fun. I would highly recommend taking any of his classes, I wish I could take more of them myself. If he taught all of my math classes, I would probably be a math major by now. Love you mjandr!!

Andrews is a very funny professor who obviously was a super genius that knew the material by heart. However, I felt like lectures went way to quickly when going over hard topics and I wish we slowed down in order to get a better understanding. But Andrews helped in review sessions before the final, which I greatly appreciated.

Andrews was a very tricky professor. His lectures were decent but his tests are difficult and anything but straightforward and he will purposely give you more difficult questions and expect you to think outside the box. If you want an easy A and keep moving forward he is not the professor for it. He does not hold review sessions and he gives out a bulk of HW from the textbook. The problem was that his tests are nothing like the homework he assigns.

I enjoyed the class and the exam. The only thing is he writes extra of notes on the white board... Also, highly recommends TA JOE!
