He was a great professor! He really made the material straight forward and easy to understand. His midterm was especially straight forward. Everything he emphasized in class, was on the exam (just like he said) and everything he glazed over was not on the test. He made lecture very entertaining. Definitely recommend taking a course (or two) with him.

*An Ode to Greatness* Professor Garfinkel Is a Great Genius Who makes my mind Twinkle, During lectures I'm Speechless; Like a star on a dark night, I was lost in the abyss At last, gone is my fright And Math gives me bliss; His presence is holy, His wisdom is Deep; Please give this man a Trophy As now we no longer Weep Onwards we march toward unknown Roads, With knowledge equipped and hungry to Code.

Prof. Narins is one of the few good professors I had at UCLA. His lectures are well organized and he really teaches you everything you need for the midterm. No need to look at the book. Average for my midterm was 75% which is not bad. His test, like he said is fair. Just make sure you know the lectures really well and memorize everything in it. He also asks weird EC questions on his tests, like geography stuff because his son does something on the field. Overall, he's a great lecturer and friendly at office hours

Winter 2022 - Overall, I liked this class and thought that it provided some very useful information regarding the topics that it covered and the way that it connected them to research. Critiquing and reading the papers was difficult, I can't lie, but it did get better throughout the quarter. Your grade on these definitely can depend on your TA. In terms of Dr. Paul, I think he had good intentions, but his midterm was unfair and he did not present the material in a very digestable manner. He often went way too fast in lectures, and would not go back to review the material. He knew the material well but just couldn't put it in a way that many college students could understand. They say you should do the readings, but I only did them if I did not understand something.

Worst professor I have ever had throughout my whole time here at UCLA. As the person below previously stated, he only has pictures in his slides. His slides are ridiculously long. Worst thing is, he can't even explain them well. Yeah I read the book, but there's too much information. He didn't even send us our study guide for the final. He stands there, tries to be funny, but ends up cracking himself up. He repeats the same thing over and over and each time it gets more confusing. When he runs out of something to say, he stands there pauses, then says something that does not make sense. He is always late to lecture, and his breaks are only 5 minutes long, ridiculous. GG for those taking Phy Sci 111A. You cannot avoid him and he teaches the last two modules, which are the longest and hardest.
