REVIEW FOR LS30B SPRING 2020: All I can say is, hands down the most charismatic and accommodating professor I've had. He really loves math and you can see it in the way he teaches. Best piece of advice, go to the Midterm Review Sessions and really pay attention for those 3 hours, literally almost a guaranteed A on the exam. Love you Artur, hope you accomplish amazing things in the future <3

ARTUR IS SUCH AN AMAZING PROF, really gonna miss the guy. As usual,even though he's a young professor, he was really helpful, and taught the material clearly, going over the previous lecture's information and building on it each time.

This class was surprisingly a breeze, even though it dealt with tough and mind-twisting concepts like eigenvectors, linear algebra and matrices. The tests were super easy (I mean, go to lecture and pay attention and take notes of course, its not easy otherwise). The questions were straight forward, and tip: just draw diagrams if you have any extra space left over, it really does help the TAs know that you know your stuff. Just like last quarter, Artur posts practice midterms and they were a huge help to understand the format and go through the material. Last quarter most people were a little worried about the midterm, so we all studied much more this time, and the midterm was so easy most of us finished early. Pretty sure that over 3/4 of the class got an A!
The labs were a little harder, just because I'm still pretty bad at coding and don't try that much. But I was still able to get As on each of them because of my TA and LA guiding me (Shoutout to Hao, an icon). The homework assignments were usually not too long, although Artur had to push the deadline since we got a little behind on the material. One of the homeworks became extra credit at the end. There was a lot of extra credit this quarter actually, like extra questions on the midterm and final, the LA survey, and various other little things.

Basically, I came into this class nervous because I didn't have any experience with calculus, but eventually I didn't worry too much about this class and my grade in it, even before taking the final. So I know Jukka has been the golden standard for the LS30 series, but honestly I stuck with Artur for both quarters because I liked his pace of teaching and it helped me a ton. Both of them are superb. I HIGHLY recommend Artur, and good luck with life, whoever you are!!

This class is insanely easy. All the lectures are recorded, but before lecture, you have to watch mini lectures recorded by Will Conley, which makes the learning extremely easy. This quarter the professors were extremely lenient and gave out a lot of extra credit. There were homework problems from the online textbook, labs, and small activities to be completed every week. They made each category worth 2 less than the total amount, so if there were 10 homework assignments, then you only needed to complete 8 to get 100% and anything extra was extra credit. The material in this class was very straight forward and easy to learn. However, it is very easy to slack off and get behind on the material, so make sure you stay on top of your work. I didn't do almost all of the labs, 2 homework assignments, 1 weekly activity, and I didn't take the (optional) final, and I passed so you all should be fine.

Artur is amazing!!! My favorite professor thus far! I had mine for 30A and I took his class again for 30B! Super clear in lecture! He seeks to help all students whenever he can! His practice exams are the most helpful for studying; use these to prepare and you will get an A! Homework is not dense at all and it was graded on completion! My quarter he didn't test on coding but I am not sure if that changed. Overall he's very passionate about math and is so funny. I would definitely take his courses if I had the option to do so!!! He's the best!!

The best thing about this prof is how excited he gets about math. As a student that means so much because we often subconsciously wonder if the professor isn't interested in the topic, why should we? He prioritizes and responds to the needs of his students. His lectures are well organized and the homework is helpful to understanding the topics. There is no busy work, everything we are assigned in this class is conducive to improving your understanding. I had Artur for 30A and 30B, and I tried my best to get into his LS 40 class. My favorite prof so far.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He is a GREAT math professor (coming from someone who loves math) He is very engaging and makes funny jokes/ laughs throughout the class. This class is somewhat of a follow up from 30A (some content is sort of new but not really (matrices etc)). His hw assignments were doable use lecture slides for help/ office hours, and great for exam practice. The labs some were challenging others straightforward, for TA I had Hao Lee and he was very very helpful! If you’re stuck on a question he will walk you through for you to come up with solutions and can be funny at times. The midterm was neither hard nor easy, more easy than hard though, I did okay but that’s on my end making those tiny mistakes. The final was also hard nor easy depending on some questions, if you go to his final review/ office hours (which highly recommend) he will walk through practice problems from past exams which is VERY helpful as you can review your answers and compare thought process etcc. If you study efficiently you’re set to do good on exams! Pay attention in lecture, do practice problems from past exams/textbook, and go to review sessions + office hours and you’re good to go!

I'm not sure if Artur is continuing to teach LS courses, but I found that he was really engaging and effective - especially for being a new lecturer. His lectures sometimes went over by a few minutes, but he was always thorough in his explanations and took questions and re-explained if necessary. Students felt comfortable asking questions and expressing confusion, and I was always engaged during class and actually wanted to pay attention. His office hours were incredibly helpful and he didn't mind taking more time to explain something if one person was still confused. He was also super approachable and open to talking about graduate school and research, among other things, which I think a lot of students really appreciated. I generally felt really supported in this course - the LS department does a good job of assuaging math-anxious students like myself, and I found myself actually enjoying the material and wanting to learn more. I think Artur genuinely cared about his students' well-being and wanted to help people understand what was being taught. Would definitely recommend!

If I could take more classes with Artur, I would! He's a very good lecturer who makes sure that if the students don't really understand what's going on, he will take more time to explain it. He thoroughly explains how we get certain answers, instead of just saying the answer. His review sessions are the best and they really help you understand what's expected of you on the exams.
