Spring 2023 - As the weakest student entered the classroom Brian Shin realized he realized the student was about to drop. He asked the student “are you not studying enough because you are failing or are you failing because you are not studying enough”. The student who had left it all behind responded equally “If you were unable to understand any of the concepts, would you drop?” Brian Shin responded “Nah I’d learn”. He knew it was time to take action, and said “Stand Proud you are capable”. Unbeknownst to the student, Brian Shin activated his domain expansion “extended office hours”. As the overwhelming intensity of the linear algebra crushed the student, he could only ask one thing, “how?” Brian Shin responded “You failed to consider two things: one, always bet on the professor. And two, throughout heaven and earth, i alone am the diagonalizable one”

3C is a joke. I took this guy in the fall for Upper Division Linear Algebra and he did a pathetic job with it. Sure he curves the class generously to the point where he won't fail anyone but I seriously learned nothing from him. Worst of all he and his TA Anton Malyshev won't help you with the homework or give you solutions after you turn it in because some of the problems are on the midterms and final. Yeah that may sound great but if you are completely lost and have to listen to him muttering to himself during lecture, it becomes very frustrating to go to class. He may be good for lower division math but don't trust him with upper division.
