Pretty difficult to understand lecturer and overall the textbook not clear answer wise.

Although she was a bit difficult to understand at times, you'll eventually get used to her speaking and the class just becomes easier from there. She does a very good job breaking things down simply and providing many resources to her students to prepare for the midterm and final.

Her tests are much easier, which is why I ended up finishing well in the class. But if you can get a different professor, people love bennoun and jukka!

Shevstov is a very nice person, but her clarity is quite bad.

I didn't really enjoy learning from Shevtsov because I felt lost on the calculus parts and the conceptual lessons. She was a better teacher when she had virtual classes, but she was not that great in person. If you end up taking her, be prepared to review the content a lot, and strengthen your knowledge in calculus. I also recommend watching lots of youtube videos on the topics of the course because they helped to strengthen my knowledge better.

She was not the best lecturer. However, she did post slides that essentially covered the content at hand along with recorded lectures. The labs were time consuming but were not too hard. Overall, the grading on this class was pretty fair as the exams were fair along with the homework being graded on completion. I would recommend this class as an easy A as long as some time is put in.

Fair class overall. I never took Bennoun so I cannot directly compare but Shevstov was straightforward and the exams were very similar to practice exams that she provided. Read the textbook, go to the midterm and final review sessions (or watch the posted recordings), and do the practice exams and you will be fine, there are no curveballs. There was I-clicker which required attendance, and the coding can be tricky in 30b if it's your first time, but there are tons of office hours where the TA will help you with any question needed. Would take this class with Shevstov again.

It's hard to understand her, and the book is written by her and it was really confusing. Going to CCL sessions and relaying on the TA notes is what helped me pass. But it's really not that hard of a class.

I did not like the way the instructor structured the lectures-- at first, it was fine online and the slides were very helpful. As soon as we moved back to in-person, the lectures were quite bad. The professor has an assistant who writes on the board for her as she talks and they just did not match up and it was hard to understand what was going on. The class itself is easy but be prepared to self-teach yourself a lot of it.

I thought this class was pretty good. I think Jane gets to much flack for being difficult to understand, I hadn’t taken any calculus before and I thought the way she explained was pretty clear. Homework’s not to hard and in her class it was only graded on completion when I took it, not correctness like some of the others. My only issue is that there can be some big gaps in examples and terminology between the her lectures and the hw and textbook.
