Lan Wangji as a math prof, grades kinder than expected
positive
- CourseMATH 31.1
- 4.0 attainableYes
- LeniencyYes
update: if you’ve ever wanted lan wangji as a math prof, now is your chance ok but fr tho he’s a rlly great prof, - he gives out modules before each lecture that is basically just a transcript of his powerpoint, so you don’t have to worry about frantically copying down everything. - he honestly grades higher than i thought he would. i flopped my first oral test (as in couldn’t even answer bc head empty) and he still gave me a 6 or 7 out of 10. i also thought i’d get a c+ for my final grade but somehow got a b. (i think class average was b) - other than that, the rest of the reviews on this post are right. tips/others: - he expects his students to master u sub integration (if you’re in math 31.1/2) but is lenient if you’re taking him under math 31.3 - consult with him if you don’t understand a topic (i think his explanations are much clearer when you consult w him & he’s rlly approachable) - he doesn’t mind if you use ipads/tablets in class - just don’t use ur socmed/be noisy/sleep or he’ll call on u to recitmore

Buot easier quizzes; Marcelo better LT prep
positive
- CourseMATH 31.3
Had the pleasure of having them both before, even if neither are for 31.3. Both of them are nice teachers and accommodating naman, although both expect some sophistication when presenting solutions, so don’t just write random BS, it will never work. Buot’s quizzes tend to be on the easier side, but as a result, the departmental LTs may have a sharp difficulty spike. Marcelo’s quizzes tend to be harder but prepare you better for the departmental LTs. The whole premise of Math 31.3 is to expect to bomb LT1 (very vibesy and proof-heavy, at most C+ usually) and then bawi with an A or B+ sa LT2 (very formulaic and computational). If you want an easier experience at the expense of your LT scores, go Buot. If you want to truly develop your mathematical rigor and have better LT scores, go Marcelo, which is who I would recommend in this case.more

Drops lowest recits and gives partial points
positive
- LeniencyYes
I just like to add re: recitation, he cancels your lowest 1/3 of the scores (e.g. if you’ve recited 9 times, he’ll cancel your lowest 3 recitations). His recits are kinda easy naman kasi (most of the time), he gives the problems beforehand naman so just make sure na you were able to answer it before going to class! Also he’s really considerate in giving partial points!! Basta may nasulat ka hehe he’s going to give points naman. Although, I’m not entirely sure if he curves. He’s also really open to consultations just schedule one according to his consultation hours!!more

Do the assigned problems for easy recit
positive
- 4.0 attainableYes
+1 u rly need to do the assigned problems for easy recit !! tbh his pacing was a bit faster than the other profs but it came handy bc he adjusted the flow accordingly when we said we were having a hard time on one topic. fave prof and def A/B+ if you try hard enoughmore

Great onsite classes, be ready to present
positive
we actually got him as our 31.3 prof! we had some aynch and onsite sessions and i must say his onsite classes are great!! be prepared each time since he calls people to present their solutions, we had two lts, two probsets by group and a few quizzes to boost our grades, dw you’re in good hands!!more

Detailed handouts, two LTs, and a messy schedule
- CourseMATH 31.1
Took MATH 31.1/2 online in the January 2022 semester - Gives a lot of detailed handouts and suggests problems for you to solve in the book (which can be pirated) - Returns stuff after two weeks almost every time - Uploads a schedule of synchronous (in my case) and asynchronous classes. This was helpful because the schedule doesn't have a pattern (hindi siya every M-W-F lang, o T-TH lang, ganun) Assessments: 2 LTs (35% each), 3 problem sets (8.33% each), and graded recitation (5%). Although now that he's face to face, I heard that he gives surprise quizzes.more

Helpful handouts and a bit nicer on solutions
positive
- CourseMATH 31.1
- LeniencyYes
Had him for MATH 31.1, I think he's pretty great! He prepared handouts with practice problems for every lesson, which are very helpful for review. His pace is alright, I'd say a bit more manageable compared to other profs. His quizzes are okay also, and I think he's nicer grading sols compared to other profs (though he still expects some level of mathematical rigor, so be careful when using arrows and other mathematical symbols). He's really nice, very easy to consult with. Good luck!more

Nice prof, strict on how you write solutions
positive
Had him for 31.1, and he’s a nice prof who explains concepts very well. He expects you to be very rigorous and careful with how you write and present solutions, so he will deduct points for errant presentation styles. However, I think it’s justified because it really should be developed especially for math majors. You’re in good hands!more
