He's just a great teacher. Very good at explaining, tests are fair and accurate reflections of the homework. He is a super nice and approachable person, and he makes the class very straightforward. It was a very moderate level of difficulty, it wasn't super high stress but I still felt like I learned a lot.

Shin is definitely one o fthe better math professors at UCLA. his midterms would reflect what we did on the homework. he doesn't give practice midterms/finals but if you do all the homework problems he assigns (including the ones you don't turn in) you should be fine. some T/F could be challenging so I would make sure to understand the material conceptually. overall goated

Dudes the GOAT. Take with this professor if you can. If you aren't super strong in math and need this class, then this is the professor for you. Basically just do the homework problems and really understand them and you should do well. They prepare you conceptually for what you need to know and you should thrive. ONCE AGAIN, TAKE 33A WITH SHIN!!!!!!!!!

GOAT. Absolute GOAT. When I say I almost gave up on math and took this class as a last hurrah, and Shin absolutely saved me and made me fall in love w math again with how clear he taughtttt I love this guy sm who is this divaaa. I will say he fled to England for a little bit which threw us off but he explained things quickly yet concisely! Nothing crazy but still like compared to other ahem math 31b classes I love this class so so much. I would major in basic linear algebra if I could fr

MIA ZENDER IS THE BEST TA I'VE EVER HAD. Actual valley girl baddie like if every math TA explained shit like her I would get a PHD in math bc I learned sm in her discussions it felt like a friend was explaining to me

Midterms were fair asf and pretty light, final was kinda rough for all of us but still fair. Take this class!!!
