how cute and nice

Analysis just comes REALLY easy to me.

character + knowledge = stopple. highly recommended to anyone who values either.

Very clear and organized teaching, tests are fair but challenging. Wisely, he doesn't EXPECT you to finish 4 analysis proofs in a 50 minute midterm, but by giving 4, you have a better chance of finishing 2 or 3

One of the best math teachers I've had. His presentation of the material is crystal clear, as are the notes he offers as a mini-textbook for class, and he's in his office all the time. Also a nice guy. His tests can be a bit tough, though.

One of the Best Math teacher i ever had, very straight forward, everything one the exam were from HW, but final was kinda tough, but he curves. he made me wana take another class of his. highly recommended for Math Majors

Professor Stopple was always willing to help me when I came to him with questions about homework or concepts. I would not call him easy, but I learned a lot and felt he was completely fair. He was also quite personable.

Great professor. He's very personable, helpful, funny, and kind of cute (in that nerdy math professor sort of way). The easiest way to pass his class is to go to his office hours as often as possible. He will do everything he can to help you understand and is more than happy to sit with you for hours to do so.

Good Professor, homework was hard but he helped if you went to office hours. Lecture complemented the book, showing alternate proofs which help for understanding the concepts.

Stopple is a very good teacher. He is super nice and really wants his students to learn. The tests are pretty easy if you know whats going on. His lectures are kind of boring and hard to follow, but if you go to office hours and CLAS you should be fine.

Professor Stopple is an excellent professor. His tests are very fair and he's always willing to help out during office hours. He is also very comfortable to talk to as well, not scary at all. I am speaking on behalf of not only myself but my friends who are also in my class as well. I HIGHLY recommend Stopple. Plus he's boss.

Although the class was easy, the grading was terrible. Does not award partial credit.

2 midterms (4 questions on each exam) and a final (8 questions) which makes a total of 16 questions. Stupid grading system where you have to get at least 8/16 problems correct perfectly, or else you won't pass the class. Won't give partial credit, avoid at all costs.

He really wants to get to know his students and help them, so you have to put yourself out there, he gives extra points if he knows your name. The topics are somewhat challenging, he doesn't explain them too clearly, and he moves quickly, so you have to stay on top of it, and make sure you have other help too. His tests can be annoying though.

Pretty easy, makes himself available. Aced all the exams without studying too hard.

Professor Stopple is very dedicated to his classes and extremely helpful when he knows you're interested. Always available in OH and curves his class knowing its a difficult course. Will NOT ever fail a student he knows has put in solid effort. Best math professor I've had at UCSB by far. Has true character, very friendly, out-going & approachable

Professor Stopple is just a nice professor. His lecture is organized. Sometimes he skipped 'easy' parts because he assumed that you knew those before you could enroll in these classes. His exams are hard not based on neither homework nor lecture. All you need is to study all the materials. He gave me good grades, love him!!

The class consisted of two midterms which each had 5 questions and one final which had 10 questions. The grade pretty much is determined by how well you mastered the second midterm because that's what a majority of the final is. His lectures were hit and miss, but that's why there is CLAS and section.

The test is easy. And we can sometimes got a extra credit to replace the questions you got the lowest scores on the test. Prof Stopple is really helpful. He organize the class very well.

He was very helpful in office hours. I still keep in contact with him now ever so slightly.

Professor Stopple really cares about his students. He won't leave you hanging as long as you utilize office hours and your discussion section. He has a very specific grading system where you have to get at LEAST half of the TOTAL cumulative exam questions fully correct to pass the class, so you'll have to really study hard. Great professor overall!

One of the best teachers I've had at UCSB! He's a great teacher and is extremely helpful and caring if you go into his office hours andor ask questions. Definitely take with Stopple. The passfail system for tests is a little weird, but he is super clear and helpful about his tests.

Only had him for math 4A, was recommended by a friend of mine. Really like him a lot! And VERY helpful during office hours, if you don't get the stuff in lecture, go to his office hours! And DEFINITELY DEFINITELY do recommended book problems, they will show up on your midterms and final (this is announced in class and on the syllabus)

Great professor ever have in Math. Midterm fair and easy. if do all the homework and recommend problem, will be easy to get an A.

I love Professor Stopple, he is the best math professor I've had at UCSB. Really helpful if you go to office hours, no surprises--if you do the work and the recommended review problems you'll do well

The BEST math professor at UCSB. All you have to do is finish the recommended questions. I got 3 A+ for my 3B 4A and 4B. Definitely recommend him!!!

Super nice guy and very helpful. Requires students to go to office hours twice and if he knows your name, your grade depends on it. Topics presented well. Know how to do the problems he gives you before exams, the exact questions will be on the exam!! Really nice. Dry speech.

Amazing professor, go to his claseeses go to his office hours. You only have yourself to blame if you don't do well. He makes you try. Gives your confidence. He believes in all of his students. A great professor. I've taken three classes from him

Jeffrey Stopple is a tremendous teacher! There is a lot of homework/busy-work, but he ultimately wants to show you the bigger picture of mathematics -- to understand it conceptually as opposed to just being good at number crunching. Make sure to do all the homework on web-assign, and save your notes from those homeworks.

Professor Stopple is a great teacher and is super accessible outside of class. Lectures are SUPER quick though and you're scrambling to write down a super elaborate proof. He wants his students to succeed and genuinely cares, but therefore he is a tough grader and wants you to follow very specific proof structures.

Professor Stopple's class is challenging, but if you really try, you will find it really helpful for later courses. He also curves a lot. He also gives very little homework.

Stopped is good when it comes to lecturing, but grades unforgivably and will take off points even if your proof is correct. Do NOT fall behind on your work, and you'll be good since his midterms/final are just homework/textbook questions.

He is truly a genius. I greatly admire his extensive knowledge and outstanding problem-solving abilities. His teaching is filled with passion, and he always uses vivid examples and clear explanations to help us understand abstract mathematical concepts. Grading is based on a curve, improvement and your overall understanding of the concept.

Prof Stopple gave a fat curve. He has his own textbook with all the theorems, propositions, and exercises. This quarter, he covered 13 theorems, 27 propositions, and 80 exercises. In order to ace the class, you should try to do the exercises not assigned for hw on your own. You can go to TA and professor's OH for help. Would take his class again.

His lectures can be confusing at times but all the notes are posted online and he gives us plenty of practice problems so it's not that bad. While the homework policy was harsh initially, he gave us 2 more attempts after the first chapter, waives 30 points instead of 10 now, and will not count homework in the final grade if it harms you.

Great professor. Material is well structured and fair paced- Really easy course and exams as long as you understand linearity

most people put ZERO effort in the class but expected a good grade. unlike most 4b profs, stopple taught us meaningful concepts instead of forcing us to memorize how to do useless, tedious computations that a computer could do in two seconds. lecture notes were a little messy but useful if you actually try to follow along. grading was reasonable.
