I loved this class. Artur teaches very well and is extremely clear. He is friendly and approachable, and very invested in student learning. He is so enthusiastic about what he does!

I loved this class and it's one of my favorites that I've taken so far at UCLA. Artur is a very down-to-earth professor and clearly cares about his students. His office hours are very helpful, so definitely take advantage of those! He holds 3 hour review sessions before the midterms and final, so I would also recommend going to those. He includes memes in his lecture slides and often makes jokes which makes the class funny and engaging. Don't be worried by other reviews talking about his tough tests, this quarter he started working with the other LS 30A professor (Will Conley) to design the exams and I found them to be very fair. I would recommend studying with a friend in the class and doing lots of practice problems! There are two grading schemes, and the one that gives you the higher grade will be applied.

Grade Breakdown 1:
Participation - 10%
Homework - 10%
Labs - 15%
Midterm 1 - 15%
Midterm 2 - 15%
Final - 35%

Grade Breakdown 2:
Participation - 10%
Homework - 10%
Labs - 15%
Higher of 2 Midterms - 20%
Final - 45%

Overall, I would highly recommend Artur for LS 30A or LS 30B!

Professor Artur is really knowledgable and smart!

I'm just here to tell anyone that needs to hear this; If you're ever crying in a lounge or on your floor or in the Study at 3 am a week before finals because of the coding assignments, you're not alone. It's gonna be okay. The rest of the class is chill though. Artur is cool.

This is one of the best classes I've taken at UCLA. I'm a junior and the last math I took was 11th grade precalc but I was totally fine. He's a great lecturer and manages to explain concepts really well in a short time without it seeming rushed. The coding is taught in discussion by TAs, and was a little disconnected this semester but I heard the LS30 teachers are trying to improve it. Having a basic background in coding is definitely helpful but I did well on all the assignments without any prior exposure and not too much work. I'd definitely recommend taking this class!

REVIEW FOR LS30B SPRING 2020: All I can say is, hands down the most charismatic and accommodating professor I've had. He really loves math and you can see it in the way he teaches. Best piece of advice, go to the Midterm Review Sessions and really pay attention for those 3 hours, literally almost a guaranteed A on the exam. Love you Artur, hope you accomplish amazing things in the future <3

Nice guy, snazzy dresser, great teacher. Wish he taught all my classes.

If you get a chance, ask him about his tattoo ;) (MATH related). Very engaging!!

Artur is by far my favorite professor at UCLA so far. He is incredibly down to earth and clearly cares about his students, starting off most lectures by taking a few minutes to talk to students instead of lecturing and see how everyone was doing, and always pointed out when it was quiet to get students to interact more. His office hours were the first I've gone to and he was incredibly welcoming and made me feel like any question was a good question. If you have any calculus background the class isn't difficult at all, its just a different approach to math than most people are used to. Though his first quarter teaching everyone said his tests were more difficult than other professors and it showed that it was his first time teaching, he has read his bruinwalk reviews to learn from any feedback students give and it was clear he worked to actively improve his lecturing. His tests also were designed together with the other LS30 professors to make the tests more fair, and they were just like the practice exams he gave out. I would absolutely recommend Artur if you have the chance to take a class with him.

This class was just not my thing. Yes, you can succeed in this class quite easily and some people love this class, but I just didn't.

Arthur is a new professor and it shows. He is honestly a great guy. He's super charming, good looking (that's just a side note I wanted to include, heheheheh) and genuinely cares. However, I believe he has a long way to go as a professor. He needs to work on being more concise when explaining. He often goes on and on and it's confusing. I would also recommend him doing more practice questions in class, rather than just explaining theory. However, having said that he has a lot of potential to be great and I am sure with time he will be.

The textbooks for this class is useless. The coding is just annoying busy work. If you want to do well in this class just focus on the lecture slides and the practice tests he posts.

Throughout the quarter I actually really liked this class. Artur is super cool and a really great teacher. I always felt like I understood all the concepts and he was good about reviewing material from the previous class at the beginning of each new class. The homework wasn’t very hard but the coding sucksss. It’s actually the worst and I hated it. My TA was pretty useless but luckily my LA was able to help a lot. I’m not sure why we need to learn to code at all. Even though I never really got it and was actually pretty terrible at it, it wasn’t hard to get good grades on it. I actually considered this my easiest class this quarter which is why I was really surprised it was my lowest grade. I got perfect scores on all of the homework assignments, got full participation points and got nearly perfect lab scores. However, the tests are worth 65% of the whole class. The midterm is 25% and the final is 40%. I got a B on both and landed a B+ in the class. Make sure to study more than you think you’ll need to because Arthur’s tests were definitely harder than the practice tests he gave us from other teachers. So do be overconfident.
