Spring 2020 - Professor Salazar was incredibly sweet and kind to us students during the Spring 2020 quarter. At first, I was concerned about taking Math 61 with him because of his mediocre BruinWalk rating, but I have to say that I am really glad that I ignored them and took the class anyway. Firstly, his class was very fair. All our exams had problems similar to the homework, so earning a good grade was a matter of being diligent and doing all your assignments. Also, the reviews that talk about him being a terrible lecture are totally untrue, in my opinion – there are times where he goes a little bit too fast, but he always answers questions during lecture and overall does a good job keeping everyone on task. The only thing I'm concerned about is learning – since we had open note + open internet exams, I did feel like I didn't learn as much from the exams. Additionally, because of the circumstances around this quarter, we did not finish all the material that is typically covered in the course, which makes me slightly concerned about future courses that might use some of that information. But, despite that, Salazar is an incredibly nice human being and I would highly recommend his class.

Summer 2020 - I don't think the comments in bruinwalk truly represent Professor Salazar. He is really really nice and warm. He cares his students a lot. He explains things carefully and slowly in lecture. He has two quizzes every week but it is very easy as long as you do all your homework. Exams are easy and are based on homework.
