    I felt the class was disorganized and there were many typos and errors.

    The one bad thing about this class is the inclusion of a lab/coding portion that is time-consuming,

    Shevtsov is a really nice professor but it can be hard to follow/understand her sometimes

    Professor was good at explaining the concept, after all she wrote the textbook. The key to doing well in this class, in my opinion, is going to Problem Solving Sessions.

    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Shevtsov really does not deserve the hate she gets from the people who are writing her reviews on Bruinwalk! You have to pay extra attention in her class, but she presents the information in an engaging and intuitive way. Overall, this class is very similar to 30A but with a final coding project that was quite tricky. Like in 30A, many of my friends struggled initially with the content, but almost everyone will be quite proficient at the coding and math by the end of the quarter. However, just like 30A, this is not math, this is "math," so if you want to actually learn calculus, you should take the math 32 series ngl.
