I really liked Professor Sinclair. Although his exams were difficult, as long as you understood the material, went to OH, and reviewed homework problem you could get an A in his class. He is a very conceptual professor and cares a lot about his students. He is also very approachable and always willing to help and answer any questions. He gave weekly quizzes, but as long as you did the HW and understood it you could 10/10 on all your quizzes. He had 2 midterms and 1 final, they are hard, but like I said if you understand the material you should do fine, plus he gives a generous curve. That being, said if you put in the time and effort and not simply memorize everything you should do fine and get an A!

3C is a joke. I took this guy in the fall for Upper Division Linear Algebra and he did a pathetic job with it. Sure he curves the class generously to the point where he won't fail anyone but I seriously learned nothing from him. Worst of all he and his TA Anton Malyshev won't help you with the homework or give you solutions after you turn it in because some of the problems are on the midterms and final. Yeah that may sound great but if you are completely lost and have to listen to him muttering to himself during lecture, it becomes very frustrating to go to class. He may be good for lower division math but don't trust him with upper division.
