<p>i've heard a lot of not so great things about the math 1b curve.. im planning to take 1b next semester (spring 2007) and i was just wondering which of these professors would be best to take it with (from a grading/easiness point of view) since i already know a large part of the material in the class:-</p>

<p>the current profs listed are:-</p>

<p>hald
ratner
and sethian</p>

<p>anyone taken 1b with these guys before?</p>

2

<p>Ratner is known to be one of the harder math 1b professors.</p>

<p>I have Olssen this semester and I like him as a lecturer. I can't wait till the first midterm this friday!</p>

<p>hmm... well a few of my friends took 54 with sethian last spring and either failed or barely passed with a C.. they said he his tests were hard and grading was quite harsh</p>

5

<p>so by a process of elimination hald is the best bet?</p>

6

<p>another query:- out of the four classes cs61b, math1b, ee20 and physics7a which do you recommend signing up for in phase I?</p>

<p>Rate My Professors says Hald is the least hard of the 3 Math 1B professors.</p>

<p>His curve was extremely unfriendly. He curved around a C+.</p>
