Fall 2020 - No exaggeration, this is definitely the hardest Math class I've taken at UCLA - much moreso than 115A, 131A, 164, etc. After the math department reworked Math 170A/B, I was definitely taken aback! That being said, Iseli is a great professor. She's super engaging and cares a lot about student learning. She is really helpful with office hours, runs extra workshops for students, and really responds to student feedback. In general, I think she's an amazing professor and would strongly recommend her as a math prof! But, the workload and tests were really rough. Iseli does try her best to prepare you for the class, but if you don't have as strong of a math background - in competitive math, etc. - I think this class will definitely be tough.

Winter 2021 - Unlike other students who leave comments, I find this class with Professor Iseli easy. Weekly homework is the major component of the workload, but I only spent ~2-3 hours on average each week on homework. The two quizzes require a decent amount of time to review. I spent like two hours on reviewing the notes for each of quizzes. Since the final was 24 hours open book, I didn’t even review before the exam. This course is chill in online format. Professor Iseli is clear, caring, and supportive, although it could be a bit hard to recognize her handwriting occasionally. I would recommend anyone interested in 170B to take it with her. You should be familiar with analysis before taking this class, otherwise you can lose points anywhere because you made minute mistakes in real analysis. This course requires more rigor than usual undergrad classes.
