Winter 2021 - The professor made this class an amazing experience. His exams were never out to get you since as long as you understood the material pretty well you would get an A on the exams. Professor Suzuki is amazing and I encourage everyone to get him for Math 32A and any other math courses he teaches.

Fall 2020 - Professor Suzuki was very caring and one of the few professors who has ever taken mid-quarter feedback into consideration. He added CampusWire halfway through the quarter after people said they wanted something like that, which shows that he's a really helpful and caring professor. That being said, I did not like this class in the slightest. Professor Suzuki was a mediocre lecturer at best. He would rarely ever tie together concepts from different lectures together into one story, which is something I think is crucial for lectures. Instead, it felt like every lecture was disjointed and disorganized. There was a lot of reliance on the textbook to figure out all the content, even though the textbook for the class itself is kind of mediocre too. Workload is pretty light though, and exams weren't too difficult. I almost wished that we had more homework problems (and Professor Suzuki accommodated by giving more practice problems along with the assigned homework problems). Exams were easy but mostly because of the 24 hour exam rule during remote learning, there is a lot of computation to do on them. Quizzes were not that easy and are worth a significant portion of the grade, but I honestly found the stuff on the quiz to be pretty important, even though so many of the conceptual questions on the quizzes we never learned.
