Comment:
Often unclear and totally unorganized. Sometimes condescending when we suggested a different pace or direction of the course based on our interest. Though seemingly a very a nice person, unless absolutely necessary, I do not want to take a class with her ever again. Tests were extremely hard (I felt unprepared for them) but grade irrelevant.

Comment:
Let's see, take her if you want an A but are not interested in learning. 20D should be a hard class, but she goes extremely slow and is very repetitive in lecture. Tests are just like homework problems and as long as you go to class it's a guaranteed A. You DON'T need the book. Everything is in lecture and she makes up the homework problems.

Terrible class for those who like structure, organization, and learning. Avoid this teacher unless you are more interested in 3 hours of the Kate Okikiolu show every week.

Comment:
I am still in the class so that's why I can't say that i passed or not. She is a nice professor but she has some issues teaching. Like we have NO SYLLABUS for this class & a pop midterm one of these days. she does try to make sure that her students know the material b4 testing them but she was going to test us on some material that we didn't know!!

Comment:
Talks loundly and clearly but has issues when doing problems on the board, making mistakes and taking 10-20 minutes out of the class to fix them all up. I found the class to be quite easy compared to all the other 20 series math classes. Some might find it more efficient to learn straight out of the text.

Comment:
As mentioned before she writes in large font on the board and speaks clearly. She also provided a pdf of her lecture notes before each class - very helpful for following along. She's very friendly and approachable. Her schedule of homework assignments was good, and here tests were not too hard and not too easy.

Comment:
she's pretty nice. she talks really loud and writes really big so u wont have a problem taking notes and listening. but, her lecture could be boring. she assigns all the problems in the book w/o solutions. since 20E is a pretty hard class which is not taught during class. u dont know if u r doing the right thing or not. but her tests r ezier

One of the better teachers here, she makes it easy to understand and can be funny with how enthused she is with math and stuff, she is prone to making mistakes on the board though so pay attention. Her review sessions are helpful and is clear as to what is on exam which is nice.

Prof. Okikiolu is a very nice person she cares a lot about her students. She trys very hard to make the material easy to be understood. However Vector Caluclus is kinda of abstract and hard to understand. She tells you what will be on the midterms/final.

This woman scares me. She doesn't know how to explain anything math related, just like the rest of the math department at UCSD.
