<p>For Math 1A during Fall the professors who will be teaching the class are:
Hutchings
Agol
Harrington</p>
<p>For Math 1B:
Reshetikhin
Persson</p>
<p>Could I please get some input on these professors?</p>
<p>I had Harrington for 16B- easiest A ever.</p>
<p>you can go to courserank and look up grade distributions.</p>
<p>Looking over CourseRank (for 1B), Persson has a more favorable ratings distribution, as well as several reviews professing him a good lecturer, but his midterms sound like a b****. Reshetikhin has a normally distributed ratings distribution, but a grading distribution skewed heavily to the right. He has one review saying he’s a poor lecturer. I’d love anyone else’s input, but as of now, I’m going with Reshetikhin.</p>
<p>Go for Reshetikhin. He’s pretty good. And make sure you go through the practice exams before midterms and finals. I can’t emphasize this enough. That’s the secret to doing well on his tests. Its heavily based on the formal of his past exams.</p>
<p>lol I guess you have 2 accounts then?</p>
<p>Persson is a good lecturer (for what that’s worth) but people tend to do worse on his exams. This gives you a chance to score well-above the curve (easier said than done)</p>
<p>I had Reshetikhin for 1B and it was whatever. He’s an ok lecturer and his midterms had some tricky true/false and definitions questions but it wasn’t terrible. I remember doing Persson’s midterms and final for practice and they were HARD. If you think you’re more talented at math than most, go for Persson cause beating the curve by a little probably gets you far.</p>
