This class was the fresh breath of air I needed after dying through 31A and 31B. I was still spooked coming in because I’d heard that my older LS friends had struggled in 3C. It was the easiest, most enjoyable class I took in all of my first year. The professor is a little quirky and lectures (in the beginning) are a little hard to piece together. Nevertheless he teaches the material clearly and then (??!!!) tests from the same material at moderate difficulty (and allows a note card during midterms). In my first two math classes I’d learned to come to exams expecting the absolute worst and hardest material (and the tests did not disappoint they were brutal), I instinctively approached this class the same way and ended up with a 98.5 final grade (the grades in his class were so high that this was considered an A on the curve not an A+)
I definitely did see some people struggling and it’s honestly again if you walk in expecting the worst and preparing for the worst you’re gonna be pleasantly surprised, do that.
The TAs are awesome, Matt was an amazing teacher even if the quizzes didn’t mandate attendance I would’ve gone because it really helps. Him and another TA do review sessions that are super helpful to attend.
The professor also spends all of week 10 reviewing all of the material on the final which is also great you’re like never really rushing.
DON’T buy the textbook. The one the department mandates apparently has a lot of mistakes and the professor gets hilariously mad at it. He’ll provide pdfs of the pages of hw for free every week and that’s all you need to practice and study.
Take the class with him. He’s awkwardly funny and grades fairly.

Dr. Jamneshan is very friendly and helpful, but sometimes people do not realize it. His tests are very fair, and I really enjoy it overall. Just one important reminder is to attend office hours regularly (I am glad I did)

So he's not horrible, let's start there. His lectures are confusing and hard to follow at times (1/4 the class dropped in the first week because of that). The main issue is that his tests test your arithmetic and willingness to grind out ridiculous numbers than actual linear algebra concepts. Overall, the tests are easy and he's a generous professor, and a really nice individuals but the numbers are just insanely large. He's definitely not the worst choice out there and is incredibly smart if you get to know him, but sometimes that doesn't translate well. Just read the book in class and you'll be fine.

A great guy who cares about the students. He does not mind if you send your work through email to check the workings on proof. One downside, his notes are not organized and lecture could be unclear sometimes. But he is very helpful in explaining the concepts during office hour, just don’t hesitate to raise your concern and ask if you need any help!

The professor could definitely be a better lecturer, as the lectures are sometimes unclear. However, he is very good at explaining stuff during office hours.

Homework is 100% optional, but you basically have to do well in the class. He uploads scans of the textbook online, so you don’t need to buy the textbook. The quizzes were cakewalks, and there was an extra credit quiz that adds up to 5% to your grade.

The midterms were a mixed bag, but the final was brutal. The numbers on exams were computationally difficult, but conceptually, the midterms were straightforward. You’ll need the 5% extra credit to get an A in the class.
