I thought Eskin was great. He's a pretty slow, clear lecturer, his homework assignments are reasonably long and his tests are very fair. For his exams, understand the theorems in the chapters. He likes to put proofs on the exams(as if that's a surprise). Understand the homework problems and understand the theories that you find in the book and in lecture and you'll be fine.

This prof is definitely one of the best at UCLA. He makes analysis manageable for the students. It is pretty important to go to lecture because it gives you all the information that you need for the test and also sometimes hints on midterm or final questions. In addition, his review sessions before each exam are very helpful.

Really great lecturer, if you sit in the front two rows... to be able to hear him clearly. Everything on the exams was covered in lecture, no trick questions whatsoever. Everybody I know including myself received an A in his course. His office hours are great if you're struggling with any homework problem or concepts. In short, this man is a genius! A few things, the book assigned for this class (small and red, ten bucks at ucla store) was terrible and I stopped reading after the first section. I recommend getting another textbook, I used Saff's to learn the material.. even online slides for intro to complex analysis would be more useful. Still need the book for the hw, though. He usually assigned a lot of hw questions, I'm talking 15-30. This hw took me foreveeeer to complete... but in the long run helped solidify my knowledge b/c the key to learning this material is doing a ton of problems. Grade was hw, one midterm, and final. Two grading schemes, one with and one without the midterm. Overall, this guy is old school, hand written exams, nothing on the course website except hw problems, and he lectures without notes! I just thought he was a GREAT professor. I recommend!
