Fall 2023 - The reviews for Professor Palmer do not give him justice. He is an excellent professor and I would recommend anybody take him for Math 33b. To start, his lectures do not go very fast and he does example problems, so if you struggle with math he is your guy. The homework is 5-6 problems from the textbook per week, very easy. He posts his detailed typed lecture notes onto bruinwalk so if you did not understand how to do something in lecture you can read them there. In terms of exams, he is very fair and easy. There are no trick questions; everything is similar to homework. He posts a practice test and practice problems as well which are very similar to the actual test. His grading scheme is generous as well, so if you do bad on one exam you can recover and still receive an A in the class. On top of all of this, Professor Palmer gives you 5 percent extra credit on your final grade if you complete a basic coding project. As a math major who has taken a decent amount of both upper divs and lower div math (this is my last lower div), I can say I have never had a professor give this much extra credit. He honestly did not have to give any extra credit, everything was completely fair and easy without it. The reviews on this sub (as I am writing this review he has a 2.0), are just frankly ridiculous. Do not judge this man, he does his best to students and you can tell he cares. He answers emails, questions, and teaches you applications in coding and math. Great Professor would take again.
