I had Professor Taylor for 31b. I think it was one of his first times teaching the course.

Overall, i was not a fan of his teaching style. He focused primarily on proofs and proving equations, rather than teaching us how to actually apply them. He provided no concrete examples during class.

That being said, he is obviously passionate about the subject and seems willing to help out if you have any questions. I basically taught myself the course using khan academy and the textbook and was fine.

The midterms are not too bad, but the final is definitely harder. If you put in some work and do practice tests, you'll do significantly better.

Overall, his teaching style is not very conducive into how I learn. That being said, if you take some time to teach yourself the material you should be fine.

The guy is an idiot. Constant mistakes in lecture, spends time in class fixing his mistakes, disorganized to the point where he forgets his lecture notes, and to top it off Taylor posts the practice midterm solutions the day before the exam! You can also forget about seeing your homework.I would honestly take a professor who cannot speak English than take Taylor again.
