Hardest class I've ever taken, but Prof. Madrid-Padilla is super nice and willing to help. We never got our grades on the final, though, but it was very fair.

Dr. Madrid Padilla is extremely helpful during Office Hours, but very unclear during lectures. Unfortunately, you will have to attend both, since he cares very much about in-class attendance, even though most of your learning will take place in OH. Though his tests are extremely challenging, he curves everyone up to ~B average at the end of the class. You will just never know where you are on that curve without talking to your peers.

Understanding the problems from the textbook was vital to succeeding on the exams, and Dr. Padilla will patiently walk you through every test question after they're all graded. Make use of this opportunity.

Compared to other professors, Dr. Padilla is less meticulous regarding proof eloquence. His primary focus is that you demonstrate conceptual understanding.

Youtube university is fantastic for preparing for his tests. Simply search "Real Analysis [insert topic name]" and there are many videos explaining concepts in different ways. Make use of this if his lectures are not beneficial to you.

Dr. Padilla makes many important announcements exclusively in class, so try your best to attend or network accordingly. He will not judge you for asking questions, so be sure to clarify any uncertainties with him or the TA (if you have a good one).

He releases homework on random days, and will always have them due in a week, so it is challenging to establish a working routine in that regard.

His homeworks are long but helpful. He allows collaboration and I would encourage that. Try your best not to procrastinate the homework in this class. The problems you blow off are likely to show up on the exam.

The professor was okay, I felt that he was very inconsiderate considering the pandemic. He often threatened to stop zoom recordings to force more students to come in person. This was while pandemic cases were rising.

Analysis is a hard class, especially during the 6-week summer session. Even though Professor Jose has accents, but he is very helpful: he is willing to spend much after-class time on answering questions, and also provides us with useful PPTs.

The tests are hard, but managable during a 24-hour period (we had take-home exams during the pandemic). The homework is quite easy, as they all come from the textbook.

Be prepared to learn a lot of knowledge, and spend much time on the material. As long as you follow the pace of the class, getting an A is possible.

I liked this prof and would recommend. He is quite generous with the curve which is nice. The first midterm and final had a 87% median so it was kinda rough because I messed up the first midterm. I didn't follow lecture because I had another summer class I was taking and it overlapped. But he usually just read off his slides and proved the theorems he talked about in his slides.

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.

Professor Padilla is a very nice professor. It is already Spring 2019 now, but I have to write a review for him because he is probably the best professor I have ever seen for my first year in university. His lecture was incredibly clear, moreover, his slides were very organized. His lectures sometimes get really funny, and he could make super complex theorem easy by giving very ingenious intuition. Definitely recommended.

Madrid is awesome. The dude is pretty funny. He is like 25 years old and has a sick accent. He really wants to help his students understand the material. His tests are not the easiest but he shoots for about a 65% average and will curve if necessary. He is always available to help, I even scheduled personal office hours multiple times and he immediately got back to me and eventually helped me with my question. His lectures are solid, but make sure to read the theorem proofs from the book too. He gets a ton of his test questions from the book so just be sure to do extra problems from the book. Overall, he made Analysis my favorite class at UCLA. I highly recommend!

Also, he makes it clear that as long as you put in a good amount of effort, he will pass you. He does not want to fail anyone, but just don't take advantage of his niceness. He deserves your best effort.

Madrid is the best professor I've ever taken, probably my favorite. He is really engaging and funny and occasionally roasts people during class. he is realllllly nice and laidback. You can tell he really cares about his students' learning and is very passionate about teaching. He's also really helpful and patient during office hours and makes sure that students fully understand everything there is to know. His midterms are slightly harder than the homework but I've heard he curves generously. Overall 10/10 I would take him again.
