His tests can be tricky, but he curves like crazy. He also gave multiple choice questions on our midterm and final??? Take that as you will, I felt like it just showed how little he cared about teaching. I never went for his office hours, so I can't vouch for how he is as a person. If you can take Tim as your TA, he really helped me out

Professor Padilla is a very pleasant and engaging professor. His midterms are not too difficult if you study and go to discussion. I never went to office hours, so I can't vouch for how valuable they were, but based on his helpfulness answering in class questions, I assume they would be good. Two things to consider before taking his class. 1, he has a strong Spanish accent. I had no trouble understanding him, but some might. 2. his lectures occasionally are a bit disorganized, so you might have to read a textbook chapter here or there. Overall however, his class was a bright spot in an otherwise challenging quarter, and I would definitely recommend him for this course

He lectures off slides, and he creates his slides by copy pasting theorems, definitions, and examples from the textbook verbatim. English is his second language, so he has a heavy accent and can at times be difficult to understand, but he's quite good at clarifying what he means when you ask him questions and gives good tips for the homework. He posts practice exams (though no answers) and for the final straight up told us what would be on the exam (1 question on differentiation, 1 on integration, 2 on continuity, etc).
Overall, would recommend. Be prepared to put a decent amount of effort into this class, especially if you're like me and analysis does not come easy.
