Fall 2024 - Professor Ding is a relatively new lecturer but I thoroughly enjoyed his course. He follows the textbook to a T so you would be fine not going to lecture and just learning through the textbook, albeit he explains the intuition and concepts in lecture pretty well. Ding is also a funny professor and quick-witted. I would recommend this course with Ding- he makes lectures enjoyable although he doesn't really know how to use the mic, making it difficult to hear him past the first few rows. He is getting better at mic placement but its just because hes a new lecturer. He expects exactly what he's putting in as he allows an index card on both midterms and half a piece of paper for the final. His exams are extremely similar to the practice exams and your knowledge in the course is reflected pretty well from the midterms. His first midterm is extremely easy, second tough, and final pretty normal. I had Daniel Rui for my TA and I LOVE THAT MAN. HE IS SO FUNNY, QUIRKY, AND EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT. FOR HARDER CONCEPTS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IN LECTURE, GO TO DANIEL'S OFFICE HOURS AND ASK HIM. DANIEL WILL EXPLAIN IT AMAZING. ALSO, I GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS SOMETIMES JUST TO HANG OUT BECAUSE HE'S JUST A SILLY GUY. LOVE THAT GUY.

Winter 2024 - I really enjoyed taking this class! His lectures were well organized and he always posted lecture notes in case you had to miss a class. He was very approachable and helpful during office hours. I thought 131A would be challenging but I believe I really understood the proofs and the content. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking 131A with Prof Ding. Details on the class: Homework (drops lowest score), 2 midterms (can drop 1 midterm), and a final. The homeworks were manageable given that we had a week to complete it. The exams were very fair and his practice exams and notes are very helpful.
