Fall 2020 - Professor Bennoun is quite possibly the best professor and person I have met at UCLA. He is so funny, and he makes class incredibly engaging. Bennoun has got to be the kindest and most understanding teacher I have had the opportunity to learn from. Not only are his classes relaxed and fun, but he also takes time to acknowledge the social aspects of mathematics. Bennoun spent a few lectures taking time to acknowledge the influence of BIPOC and WOC in mathematics, and it made learning the content even more worthwhile! He also conducts extensive office hours, and social hours, and overall he just made this class so much fun and so easy to understand.

Winter 2024 - Professor Bennoun is goated. Mbappe in the World Cup final type of goated. You only get one homework and one lab assignment per week, which is completely manageable. Midterm and Final is fairly easy to study and prepare for. Most learning is done by doing the homework. If you do the homework honestly and look at the answers after the due date then you should be fine. The coding is not too difficult, you just have to be patient with it. Overall, I would take again and recommend, but this class is not for those who like to complain when faced with a bit of difficulty.
