He is a great professor and really cares about his math. Honestly, should've and would've worked harder because he is VERY test heavy. There is a lot of homework but is only one point for completion, but if you don't show up for lectures and don't do your homework. . .then I'm sorry to tell you that you have already failed the class.

Beren was a really great lecturer, and I enjoyed his class. Both midterms make up 40% of your grade and the final is worth 50%, so be prepared to study. That being said, his exam problems don't stray too far from the HW/textbook problems. I hope he teaches some of the later calc classes, because I'd love to take him again.

Sanders is a nice professor! The only thing is that if you have trouble attending lecture, he doesn't work from a textbook so it's really hard to make up for that lost time. Also, there's only three homework assignments, a midterm, and the final for your grade, so if you mess one up, there's not really an opportunity to come back from it.

Beren Sanders is an exceptional lecturer who cares about what you know and don't know. He will go back through examples if a question is asked, and is not afraid to elaborate whenever necessary. He has some good math jokes, and makes math enjoyable. All his lecture slides are also available online and are a great reference.

One of the best professor in UCSC. Although his final weights about 50% and the test is so hard for me, don't worry about it because he will give curve to you. His midterm is so easy for us. Just pay attention to his lectures and homework, and you will get a good grade. Highly recommend his classes.

AMAZING Professor. The homeworks were challenging the deeper the content got, but it made the exams VERY bearable. Many people say he went off topic, but all he would do is show us how the content we were learning could be applied to other mathematics. He really makes you appreciate math with his enthusiasm for it. I would take his class again.

Professor Sanders gives a lot of homework with hard questions, but his exams are reasonable. Always available in office hours and easy to approach.

Beren is the smartest dude ever. His lectures are swift and thorough, covering tons of content. The homework questions are mostly simple proofs that take less than a page each and the exams asked lots of example and definition questions. It's a lot of work but if you go to every lecture and stay on top of the homework you'll do good in his class.
