Spring 2021 - Professor Gannon is my absolute favorite professor in my 2 years at UCLA. Words cannot describe how much I wish I could take every class with him. Gannon made me feel like I was attending a little “fireside chat” in every lecture. The lecturing environment was supremely chill and relaxed compared to every other math class I’ve been in. You can tell that Gannon keeps his students engaged and gives them the intrinsic motivation to learn math. It’s just his charm. Homework assignments were rather difficult compared to other math classes I’ve been in. There was one particular problem on an assignment that took me 8 hours to figure out. To be sure, though, that problem was an outlier. A few problems on each assignment are graded for accuracy, while the rest are graded for completion. He also gives extra practice problems on each assignment, and I highly recommend you do them. I probably spent an average of 8 hours on each assignment. Homework assignments are designed to be harder than exams. The exams in this class were fair but hard. Gannon finds ways to interconnect multiple concepts we learned in single problems. It is essential that you remember every theorem in class and pay attention to how the material from one lecture may connect to material from the others. I leave this class feeling like I learned a lot and confident in what I learned. Grading (there were 8 homework assignments in total): 20% Homework (Best 7 scores); 25% Midterm 1; 25% Midterm 2; 30% Final exam or 20% Homework (Best 7 scores); 35% Best midterm score; 45% Final exam And in case you were wondering, his beard is as luscious as it appears in his profile pic, perhaps even more. What a stud.
