Funny guy but the lectures are genuinely horrible. Teaches concepts in an extremely round-about and complicated way when it really doesn't have to be. This class was entirely self-learned for me due to how bad these lectures were.
He provides homeworks as a way to test our knowledge for the tests. Unfortunately, these answers are never posted nor explained so it is entirely on you to find out if you are on the right track. To add on to this, the exams were extremely different from the homework and asked us types of questions that were never taught.
Overall, he made this class harder than it has to be. You should be okay if you are self-reliant and resourceful on your own but if you want a good professor for this class look elsewhere.

Lectures were good, learned the material but the exams and all professor-written questions were way harder than what we learned.

This is a hard class! Killip is a great guy and his lectures are engaging, but sometimes they are a bit unclear or confusing. Sometimes he'll spend an entire lecture explaining something simple, but he makes it seem very complicated. He often writes his how homework problems, so no looking in the back of the book! (they are also much harder than normal homework problems).
I'd consider myself fairly good at math, and each week's homework took me about 10 hours, though I know they took others much longer. Killip is an okay professor, but expect a lot of work and don't expect to get your grade curved.

The thing I liked most about Prof. Killip is his tendency to use simpler words instead of formal vocab. His energetic lectures made this class my favorite calc class. Exams and homeworks felt pretty standard, although I did take this class in Winter 2022, which had COVID perks.

I am writing this review two years after I took the class. 32B with Killip is still my favorite class I've ever taken. TAKE THIS TEACHER he is the GOAT. He talks about his kids sometimes and it's really cute :) He gives plenty of resources to study from and wants you to succeed!

Prof Killip is a great lecturer and you really understand the material by the end of the class (except for the last two weeks of lecture). In the last two weeks you learn green's theorem, stoke's theorem, and divergence theorem. And that is pretty much what the entire final is mad up of and wow that was a really hard final. The midterms were reasonable. The homework was hard but doing it made you really understand the material. The class is pretty easy until those last couple weeks. I strongly recommend but be prepared.

Great lecturer! He is lowkey very sassy and funny and explains concepts very thoroughly. If you go to office hours, he is super willing to help you learn and is an understanding professor. Keep in mind that homeworks are very challenging, and that each problem takes quite a while to figure out. Tests are also pretty challenging (averages are anywhere from a high D/low C), but the class is curved. The material on the test is based only off of homeworks and what he lectures on in class. I definitely recommend Killip.

Damn, this is a hard class. While 32B has a reputation for being the hardest lower div math class, Killip's class is just pure destruction The homeworks are impossible without help from friends/TA's/Killip himself. I literally spent more time on this class than CS 32, which is a very time consuming class itself. The midterms were decent, with lowish averages (between 60-70), but the final was just the toughest exam I have ever taken in my life. I basically left 40% of the paper and thought I failed, but ended up with an A- bc the curve saved me. Killip himself is decent, and has a great sense of humor, but some lectures were incredibly confusing . Take this class if you love math and don't mind a real challenge with the homeworks, but otherwise there are other easier profs out there.

32B IS REALLY HARD BE PREPARED and Killip is pretty difficult too. His homework is usually pretty difficult and always time consuming, so definitely be prepared to set aside a L O T of time for his problems. He also loves to make up his own problems and those are honestly fucking terrible. :(

That being said, he is extremely knowledgeable and good at explaining the material (though he explains things rather quickly), very funny, and one of the most approachable professors I have ever had. Definitely go to his office hours! You will learn so much.

Just know that this class is horrible not because Killip is a bad professor (I love him I want him to teach all my math classes) but because the math is terrible and it is difficult to wrap your head around. Would HIGHLY recommend reading the textbook and watching the relevant Khan Academy videos before going to class--it makes lectures a hell of a lot easier to understand.

Killip is one of my favorite professors so far after a year at UCLA. He is probably the funniest professor or teacher I've had. There was a distinct lecture when he was doing ballet in front of the class to demonstrate some point about moments of inertia or something and everyone walked out laughing. I heard some kid say to someone else "That was fun", which is something you generally won't hear regarding math lectures.

That being said, this class is not easy, but there's not a lot Killip can do to prevent that. He really does do his best and if you have to take 32B, then Killip is the way to go. I only got a B because I had a very very heavy course load that quarter and didn't have the time to study and really understand the material.
