I will personally deliver it to you if you are on campus.
This is definitely a tough class. The homework questions requires tons of work with all those nasty numbers. Alpar is interesting sometimes, but his lecture spends a lot of time on proofs and relatively shorter time on examples. His exams are REALLY hard and time constraining. The midterms average was about 60% and 56%. And for the FINAL. OMG. He really makes it a three hour exam. He only gives 3 questions for the final, but the first one is somewhere like 15 parts and the second and third have around 6-8 parts for each. Anyway, he will curve. But I'd say having a relatively good grade really needs a lot of work.
Mixed bag. I wanna be truthful and say, this class was roughhhhh. I knew 32B was hard but damn. Really stresses proofs during lecture, which I wish he wouldn't. Averages on midterms were around 50%. I cried. BUTT, even though I got around 50% on both midterms, and a 60% on the Final, I got a B! Bless Alpar and that beautiful curve.
Avoiding him would make your life easy and happy :). The worst professor in the UCLA. The exams are soooooooooooo hard. The average for the final is 13/ 33? I remember correctly. To be honest, it should be 13/46, because there are extra 13 points as bonus points. However, it is completely impossible to get these bonus points and it turns out that no one get it because the highest score is 29. His homework is very very hard, and I spent more than 10 hours each week to finish it. The worst thing I felt is that lectures, homework and exams are three completely independent parts. They are not correlate with each other. If you can understand lecture, you can still have no idea about how to do the homework. If you finally understand the homework, you still have no idea about how to do the exam. It further turns out that he is not a good teacher, but just torments his students. He is not a good lecturer, because he speaks very weird English, and cannot explain concepts well. What really made me angry is that before the submitting the teaching evaluation, he tried to make his students happy, and even sent email saying that he will give everyone good grade and give easy final exam. However, after teaching evaluation, he began to not replying email, gave unreasonably difficult exam, and did not allow students to look at the exams if students need a regrade by giving excuse that he would travel out of LA. He is a liar and I am really mad at his morality. Such a bad person should not be stay at UCLA.
