Comment:
Never thought I would enjoy 224 after taking 223, but Prof. Uppal's enthusiasm during lectures changed that. If you're in 224, make sure to go to his office hours; he's very patient and understanding, and will take as long as he needs to help you out. He isn't that active on Piazza though. Overall an amazing prof who changed my view on math.

MAT224 is a challenging course and Prof. Uppal is a great person. If you run into trouble in his class, please ask him for some feedbacks. They are very helpful.

Uppal is an amazing lecturer. He presents the content in an interesting way and works through examples with the class to lead to new ideas. He is always willing to wait on questions and often checks we are understanding the material. If we're not, he goes over it in a different way to try to get to us.

Comment:
He is very arrogant, not approachable at all. He did not post solutions. He refused to regrade exams with partial marks. He made tests extremely hard and did not curve when the grade is about 50%-60%. Many students had to drop. He does not care about his student.

He is unresponsive to questions on piazza, doesnt post solutions to practice questions for assessments, refuses to post past finals with solutions, rushes through the material every lecture or leaves questions blank without even caring we understand or not, never curves marks when they are low, doesnt post solutions to any practice problems

He's a good lecturer but also a highly self-centered person, which means he does not care about his students and is impatient with students' questions. Tests are really hard.

He does not care about his student AT ALL. The average for the term test was 40% and he REFUSED to give any partial marks although I got most of them right according to the test solution.

Comment:
He didn't allow to take a photo for his lecture. His lecture is all handwriting and he wrote so fast that the only thing you can do in the lecture is writing without thinking. If you ask questions after class he rarely answers you. So basically, study 223 all by yourself.

A great lecturer, really makes his mission that students understand the material. The homework assignment are fair and can usually boost your mark. His tests are tricky, you must really understand the material in order to get a good mark, cant just memorize the process of how to do a question

Solid prof. If you did well in MAT223, MAT224 wouldn't be extremely hard as some people said. He explained everything well and the level of difficulty of the tests were reasonable based on your quiz and homework.

His notes are crystal clear and way easier to understand than the textbook, just make sure you have it if you fail to catch up with him in class. I think he is very systematic and gives you the intuition behind the abstract concepts, very helpful and important. Highly recommend him as a lecturer.

His lecture is really well-organized. Dont skip any lecture because the lectures are continuous. Try to understand the examples which discuss in class and for MAT224, writing assignment is important to think deeply with linear algebra. He is a really good lecturer.

Comment:
Sean Uppal is hands down the best prof in the mathematics department. He sincerely really cares about his students. I felt bad for him as he has to deal with first years who think they can do what they did in high school which is not study and then still expect an A. His tests are easy compared to the other math courses despite the low averages.
