    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    At first I was unsure about the teaching style and pace of the class, but with a little effort it became clear that Brian is a wonderful professor who gives opportunities to succeed. Discussions were helpful since he gave the midterms to the TAs ahead of time so that we could properly be prepared. Overall a great professor who I would be happy to take again

    This class is quite challenging if this is the first time you are dealing with 3D figures but it is possible to memorize the figures and their equations. It takes some time to adjust to the material but through the notes and textbook you can get a good grasp of how to handle the problems. Shin is also a good instructor and approachable. He writes on the board so going to class is necessary, he eventually did post his written notes but by going to class you can hear the explanations and also he tells the class the materials that he does not require that may be in the textbook and you may miss if not in class. His tests were all pretty fair and he gave enough time to answer the questions.

    I thought that Brian was a very good professor. His midterms and final were relatively easy and fair, and I appreciated the fact that homework was generally pretty light.

    Brian Shin is the GOAT, his midterms and finals are just like the assigned homework problems. Highly recommend his 32A class
