Das has a bit of an Indian accent, but it's quite easy to pick it up after the first lecture. The content is quite hard (but easier than 32B), and at times you may feel it's a bit hard to keep up with everything. I found Das' lectures pretty helpful, which says something considering the experience I had for 31B. For the most part, every new topic was introduced properly, and he made sure that many students understood them before moving on. He also did a copious amount of example problems and potential test questions you could see. As long as you did most of the homework questions, generally the midterms and finals were the same format. Only a couple times a curve ball was thrown, but that was mainly to separate the As from the A-s.

Honestly, I spent a long time studying outside of class and ended up understanding everything but got a B- due to mistakes on my end (not a good test taker here), which made me quite sad. It's partially because I'm a pretty slow learner. Either way, based on the reviews for other teachers, I'd still say he's on the better end.

The homework isn't graded, which is nice, and the weekly quizzes are very doable if you did the homework. Tests are challenging and Professor Das isn't the most helpful in office hours. I had to rely on my TA

Das talks really fast, but somehow the pace of the class was way slow. We were behind by about 2 weeks going into the last few weeks of the quarter and he had to rush through the last few topics. The good thing is his midterms and final aren’t bad at all. He gives materials that really help you prepare for the midterm and finals and his tests are very easy to score average or above on if you use the study material he gives. If you’re a person who doesn’t go to lecture and just learns from the books and takes the tests this class is definitely for you. You will have to go to discussion but lecture you will not. If you are a person who needs a strong lecturer Das is not that. It’s a bit all over the place

Workload is very easy as there is no mandatory homework. Midterm 1 is easy, Midterm 2 is tough, but the final is the easiest of all.

I came into this class expecting a pretty good grade (B or higher). The first midterm was relatively easy and I could've gotten a good grade but ended up with a 60% because I didn't check my answers, so that was a mistake on my part. For the second midterm, I scored 37% and my quiz average was 82%. The class mean for the two midterms were 68% and 61% and the final's mean was 76%. At this point, I thought I was gonna end up with a C- or D. I felt very hopeless because I thought I wasn't gonna get the grade I wanted. However, I decided to stick through it and work on the study guide he assigned (it's very helpful for the final) and got an 82% on it.

As for the overall class experience, Das was hard to understand at times because of the accent and would talk very fast, I had a pretty decent TA that helped go over the concepts that were covered in class. One piece of advice I would give is to read the textbook and practice the homework problems he assigns, you do need to have a " superficial understanding of the formulas" to do the proofs on the test. CHECK YOUR ANSWERS because it is VERY EASY to mess up. Out of all the quizzes, there was one only quiz that was really bad because many people didn't know the shortcut, but other than that the quizzes were easy because they were homework problems and the little mistakes got me. Also, the class is curved.

This class is definitely not an easy A. The professor is very nice and understanding, however, it is very hard to understand him. Regardless, that is not the main problem. The main problem is that there is no room for any mistakes when it comes to your grades. If you mess up one midterm, that is it. You cannot go back and fix you grade. The quizzes every week are very challenging and many people fail. The second midterm's average was a 60%. Professor Om said that he will make the final easy because of this. However, do not come in expecting to get an easy A in this class. It is very tough and the TAs grade very harshly.

Professor's second language is English, and it is sometimes hard to understand him because he lectures extremely quickly.
He is alright at understanding and answering questions, but sometimes his answers are not much more helpful than the original explanation. I found it helpful to read the textbook to review each section after listening to lecture.
Tests are pretty standard difficulty for math department, which is to say some of our averages were below 60% on some tests... but the class is curved :)

Das has the easiest tests in the math department. His review session, study guide, and past paper are very helpful. You only need to have a superficial understanding of the formulas and learn to apply them to ace the tests. Problems in his final study guide may appear in the final. Weekly quizzes on discussions can be tricky. 32A is a very easy but useful class. Highly recommend Das if you are looking for an easy A.
