This class was great. He’s a great professor and you should totally take 31A with him if you are able to. The workload was not and at all. All you had to do was study to do good on midterms and final.

Best professor ever! The midterms and final are exactly like the midterm and final study guides, kinda even easier, the homework was sometimes even harder than the tests. He is very good at giving examples during class and always makes sure to ask if anyone has any questions when going over topics. If you took AB Calc in high school this is an easy A for sure.

Varvarezos is a very clear lecturer and provides several examples for each new concept learned. The midterm exams and the final were super manageable, and the TAs were very helpful. There are 2 midterms and a final, and your discussion participation (a weekly worksheet) are graded (discussion for completion (may vary by TA) and homework for completion and accuracy). His lessons were very easy to follow and understand. I'm very glad I took 31A with Varvarezos!!

Professor Varvarezos is a fantastic math professor, he makes challenging concepts clear.

The material is easy if you’ve taken AP Calc AB in high school. The practice midterms and final are practically the same as the real ones, and both are quite straightforward. The professor is clear with notes and answers questions kindly. Classes are recorded. The only things that you need to keep an eye on are the weekly homework assignments because he takes marks off for lateness and accepts nothing after 3 days tardy. Overall, would recommend. Easy A if you pay attention and have learned any of it before.

Amazing professor and lecturer! Explains concepts very clearly and is easy to understand. Exams/midterms aren't too hard (HW is harder). Very helpful during office hours and always leaves room to ask questions during lectures. Allows notecards in midterms and a cheat sheet in finals. Posts lecture recordings on BruinLearn.

Professor Varvarezos is the best!! He is an absolute godsend for 31A compared to what I've heard about other 31A professors (ex. Wu) he's practically a guaranteed A. I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say I'm god awful at math but his exams are so so easy. I got 100% on both midterms and 96% on the final, my exam performance was better than my HW performance lmao. He doesn't overcomplicate concepts like some instructors tend to and I believe his exams are a fair assessment of what is learned. He allows a double sided notecard for each midterm and a double sided sheet of notes for the final, which is beyond enough. The most challenging part about his class was probably juts a handful of super challenging HW questions that I chegged, but virtually no curveballs were in the exams. Take 31A with Konstantino if you can, a GPA saver!

This professor is AMAZING! He is always nice, helpful, and clear on concepts. The homework assignments are harder than the tests. That is to say, he is not that type of professor that puts up tricky tests. Just go to his lecture, take notes, pay effort, then you’ll get the grade you want. I would strongly recommend this professor to anyone!

Professor Varvarezos goes materials in a slow-paced but explicit manner. The exams are getting harder as the course proceed, but the examinable contents are consistent with what covered in the class. The workload is relatively light, but be cautionary about the practice test problems as they could be testing in a trickier way.

He is an awesome professor. His lectures are clear and straightforward. The examples we go over together in class are helpful. What makes him GOOD is that he would NEVER try to trick you on an exam. All problems on the exams are testing your understanding of the most basic ideas. As long as you know the key theorems/definitions and do a fair amount of practice problems, you will nail the exams. Overall, this is an easy class, definitely not a math class that would traumatize anybody.
