I love Professor Shin. Despite not getting an A, I still felt like I learned a lot from him and would definitely recommend. He goes over the information at an appropriate pace and while lectures aren't required, I think it's worthwhile to go. His exams are a bit tough but the lecture notes are very well written. Overall, Shin is a very very good professor.

Take Prof. Brian Shin if you can! Getting an A in his class is very manageable as his tests are based of the homework and textbook. The homework per week is also pretty light. In addition, he's a chill guy with a majestic beard and he probably plays League of Legends!

If every Professor in UCLA is as generous as Shin, every student who works hard will graduate with a 4.0 GPA.

Very good. lecturer, fair homework and tests, and fair grading.

I didn't go to class but shin apparently is good.

Brian Shin is probably my favorite lecturer in all of the UCLA math department. His lectures are often pulled from the textbook and are simplified into more digestible material. His homework is only 4 problems graded for accuracy. If you all the recommended homework problems and pay attention in lecture, I feel like an A is a very attainable grade in this class.

Brian is clear, concise, and funny. Excellent professor. No attendance grade. About a B+ average on all the tests because of generous partial credit, so no curve. They're straightforward and fair. Homework is very light. Don't slack off too much and you should be fine.

Professor Shin is definitely one of the best 32a professors out there. While he oftentimes doesn't finish lectures during class, he posts lectures notes and bruincast in a timely manner. However, his lectures aren't even necessarily needed because most of his examples come straight from the textbook. He does a good job of synching what is learned in the book and what is taught in lecture. Discussion sections are mandatory and not the most helpful since it didn't seem like the TAs and the professor communicated a lot over this course. The midterms and finals were very fair, as long as you knew how to do the homework, you'd be fine. Professor Shin never made us draw graphs or read lengthy word problems. Even for topics like quadric surfaces our test questions would simply be multiple choice. There are weekly homeworks (4 questions each with optional problems) and 1 quiz (very conceptual and often 2-3 multiple choice questions), but at the end of the quarter he let us drop 2 quizzes and 3 homeworks. I would definitely recommend him!

THE GOAT

Professor Shin is one of the best math professors in terms of how he teaches. He's chill and is very welcoming so you shouldn't be afraid to ask questions in class. Homework is hard, but thankfully he is very responsive to any questions (the TA Chuyin was also very helpful and if you need to pick a specific TA for a class choose her). If you can go to any of the office hours for Professor Shin or the TA, I would recommend going since they help break down ideas and tricks for solving problems that are more glossed over in lectures. Finally, DON'T FORGET QUANTIFIERS. You will lose easy points on homework and tests.
