Amazing experience on math and great lectures! Prof. Fumiaki is very kind and his lectures have impressive logics connecting different concepts. He never troubles you on the exams and have extra Zoom lectures and review sessions from time to time. You will never regret taking his classes and talking to him!

Professor Suzuki is awesome. The tests are manageable and he helped me clarify the unclear concepts. He also gave me partial credit even though my answer is wrong. I love to take this class. Really recommended to everyone to take math series with him.

Professor Suzuki is extremely kind and caring. His exams are very fair and he does a great job at explaining concepts, and he also takes his time to answer each individual question so the student gains a better understanding of the material. I highly recommend taking Math 32A with Professor Suzuki

Suzuki is a great guy. He cared for us, and though he didn't always know the best ways to help, he did try! Lots of office hours, lots of asking-the-students-what-they-need, lots of Campuswire help.

Class is Homework + Quizzes + 2 Midterms & Final (COVID times). Homework was difficult for me - con is that lecture didn't always help complete the HW. If you can do the HW though, you can do the exams. It was difficult to do very well on the exams, but easy to do moderately well (B).

Loved his lectures. He posted notes and worked through problems to teach. No slides, just Goodnotes.

Going into 32A, I was a little worried because math has been a class that I tend to struggle with and I had heard that 32A was one of the harder math classes for underclass students. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how I did in this class. The lectures are recorded and put up on ccle with his notes so I usually would watch them later in the day. I was able to follow the material (sometimes it would take me looking at my notes for a while but it did not slow me down weekly) and did well on the tests and quizzes. There are 5 categories for this class: homework , quizzes , midterm 1, midterm 2, and the final (10%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 30% respectively).

Homework: Homework was assigned weekly and you were given a week (sometimes more if something came up) to complete it. He dropped your two lowest homework scores so if you are busy one week, you have some leeway. The homeworks were not too hard if you went through the lectures and you could either do it all at once or do little by little throughout the week.

Quizzes: There was a quiz every week except midterm weeks. The quizzes tested on what we had learned the previous week and were very similar to the practice problems we did during lectures so they were not too stressful. Again, two lowest quiz scores were dropped so if you had a bad week, you again have some leeway.

Midterms: Compared to 31B where the midterms took me between 8-10+ hours, these midterms were a lot shorter and much easier in my opinion. I actually scored pretty high on both which was surprising to me. If you are able to do the homework and quizzes then you can totally do the midterms with little difficulty.

Final: The final was about the same difficulty as the midterms and I was able to score pretty high on it too. It went over mostly material after midterm 2 but still hit some topics from before. It had some true or false (that's the part that is hardest for me but still nothing compared to the 31B final and midterm) and the rest was computational.

Professor Suzuki is amazing! I enjoyed this class a lot more than I thought I would and he is very knowledgeable! Sometimes he could be confusing in his lectures with how he explains something but usually it would get cleared up in the lecture since the students would ask him about it. You can also email him (he responds pretty quickly) or go to his office hours for questions. He was so good that I actually did not go to any discussion sections because I felt like I was well prepared just from the lectures. My TA recorded his discussions and put his notes on CCLE just in case you were worried about that.

I would highly recommend Suzuki for 32A!!
