Wow this professor has a gift for teaching!
He is great to take with zero programming experience.
His lectures are quality, engaging, and stick to your brain.
He does mention it is possible to pass the class without getting the textbook. Focus on lectures and pay sharp attention to his snippets and you'll do good.

Homework is almost weekly (he extends due date near midterm season).
Try to start it early and go to the office hours. He is so helpful in his office hours. Even when you are completely stuck at the very beginning of a question, he gives useful hints. There were a few questions where the code was similar to the snippets, but needing some tweaking.
There is one homework you cannot drop near the end, I think it was somewhere around the 6th homework, the one with classes/structures. For this homework I used the snippets as a "template" or groundwork to help me.

There is 1 midterm and 1 final. For both tests, he is crystal clear in his expectations. He gives you a chunk of code and it is more of explaining definitions, vocabulary, and concepts of why the code works, instead of like solving for the needed code in the homework. He does help by giving sample question/answer and is very willing to explain his expectations in office hours. For the midterm, he gave ample time to prepare. For the final it is mostly the material after the midterm. He even held multiple office hours during both the midterm and the final.

For me the reason why I wanted to give a review was because of what I experienced. Sometime before the final, I had an emergency surgery where 5 teeth (all 4 wisdom plus 1 tooth) were pulled out because of an extremely bad infection. So bad my brain was under very strong, heavy pain meds for a week and I couldn't talk/think well for two weeks and I was unable to attend class for some time. Despite this, the professor allowed an extension and homework drop (technically two if the last homework doesn't count, depends on the quarter). Additionally, during my recovery he was very responsive with the many emails I sent him in clarifying concepts and the homework. Even on the days I didn't have class, he would still respond to my numerous emails on questions about the homework with clear explanations. He was very understanding of me and in my class his final thankfully didn't test on week 10 material.

This professor is amazing! He recently won a teaching award. I learned so much from his class.
Even though I had a big surgery and was recovering, I was still able to pass and enjoy taking his class with an A.
Please do not be afraid to take this class.

Professor Andrews is a wonderful guy. Really chill, a great help, and explains the concepts extremely well.

Homework sets range from fairly straightforward to fairly tricky. We used Piazza, which was incredibly useful for working through the homework.

I definitely recommend going to Andrews's office hours. Without them, I would have spent much longer and been much more confused about the homework.

This class has two midterms and a final. All of the tests were fairly difficult; the medians were in the 60% range. I was probably tracking for a B or B+ but I got an 83% on the final, which helped big-time. I had to study a lot for it, though. Working through old homeworks is always a good idea.

Professor Andrews is engaging, knowledgeable, and British. He supplemented his lectures with a screen of various compilers with which he executed his programs, providing a very effective visual aid. He is also quite funny, often utilizing humor to hook his students into his examples to teach his concepts. Professor Andrews also made his students think about how programs execute, which is evidenced by his midterm primarily testing understanding of tracing. I would recommend him for this class! He will make sure you remember what he teaches.

Michael is a dope professor. He's always down to help with problems. I didn't really do well on both midterms, but I ended up with an A-. Shit tonne of work though. Like you have to do a tonne of assignments and like only a quarter of it is graded; that really pissed me off. But a good class overall. Will be taking 31b with him next quarter.

Andrews is a great professor, if you ask for help, if you go to office hours, if you sit at the front of the class you will most likely pass. None of the work he assigns is impossible to do, challenging yes but not impossible. He teaches the class like everyone has background knowledge of calculus so the people who have taken calculus before have somewhat of an advantage over those who haven't, thats why its important to seek out help if you havent taken calc before so that you dont get behind in class. I hadnt taken calc before I took this class so he kind of assaulted me with terms I had no clue about the first couple weeks, but I was able to catch up with what he was teaching in class. He is an extremely fair grader, I got a C for the first midterm, an F---- for the second midterm and a C for the final and I was able to pass the class because he recognized that I had done better in the final than I had in the second midterm. The key to this class is to ask for help and practice what is taught on the final, if you havent taken calc before you are probably going ta have to try a lot harder than the other people but its totally doable.

Good class, not too easy or hard.

Honestly, I learned a lot in this class. I took Calculus AB (part 1 of calc) in high school and I didn't learn anything; well I must have learned something because I passed that class (lol). I learned a lot more in this course and the materials were very well taught. The professor is definitely nicer (fair grader) than the TAs only because I felt like they graded really hard on the homework. Also taking the extra step in contacting the professor if you're having trouble is very useful because he's willing to help. I guess I didn't fully understand the materials, so I didn't do as well as other students, but I mean c'mon some of the students are in the engineering major. He does try to grade fairly so there are grading schemes, whichever works in your favor is the grade you get.

Grades wise:
Homework: not so well because I kept forgetting to do them.. D/F
Midterm 1: C+
Midterm 2: D/F <-- honestly don't remember
Final: C

In the end, just remember there is always a grade distribution, so the professor does have to make the exams harder in order to fulfill what the department assigned. Not everyone can get A's/B's obviously.

Professor Andrews is a really cool guy. He's young for a teacher and he's British so thats a plus. I had never taken calculus before, so obviously it is reflected on my grade that I received.

He assigns homework every week and usually its a lot of problems, but if you go to his office hours, he will do them for you and explain how they need to be done. NOTE: he is WAYYY better in office hours than he is in lecture. He is much clearer, thorough, and amazing in office hours.
It was a total of 10 homeworks, I think. It was a lot of work, and they were only worth like 10% of the grade, which sucked.

The first midterm was pretty easy because he told us exactly what was going to be on it, and he gave us problems that were the same ones that would be on the midterm. Super awesome, right?
The second midterm sucked. It was significantly difficult than the first midterm and it wasn't curved. That brought down my grade.
The final wasn't that hard. You just need to know to find the area under a curve, integrals, tangent line, chain rule, derivatives, optimization, and related rates. When the TAs offer review sessions, GO. They are very helpful.

Overall, he's a pretty decent professor. I'm taking him for Math 31B for the spring quarter. If you haven't take calculus before, just study a lot.

Andrews is my boy. Great professor. He is super funny and quirky, per se and his music taste is pretty cool. His office hours are super informative, and his tests are pretty. He understands that most people in the class are not huge fans of math, and his explanations are thorough and clear enough to get to the point. My performance in his class was limited by myself. (I got sick the night before the final and winged it so I did terrible). He's a great teacher and a real bro. Stay noided.
