Honestly, I only attended a few of her lectures before realizing I could just teach myself from the lecture notes. I found the lectures to be fine, but the notes just made it a lot easier to teach myself and work the examples. There were homeworks and weekly quizzes that were pretty short and pretty easy. 24 hour exams which were also pretty easy, except for the final which was considerably more difficult than the rest but not too bad. I highly recommend her, the workload was light and I still feel like I learned the material decently well.

The professor is female like the other comment said. The class was pretty easy for me. I barely used the textbook and only then for practice problems. The homeworks are short. There are quizzes, two midterms, and a final that were pretty straightforward. There were only a few difficult problems. Overall, the online lectures were pretty dry and boring but the professor does answer questions well.

Super easy A. The material was pretty easy to learn even without watching the lectures. She uploads the lecture notes which mirrors her lecture videos exactly. I would recommend this class since the tests and quizzes were extremely easy and chill.

Its more helpful to just read the textbook and treat this class as an asynchronous one

This was probably the easiest math class I have taken at UCLA. It helped that it was during COVID and that the professor was accommodating - she gave at least 24 hours for quizzes, midterms, and finals, which were all open note. The homework, quizzes, and exams were all pretty easy, and the lectures were pretty straight-forward and not overly confusing. My main gripe with the class was that it was almost too easy and surface-level. I kinda felt that I didn't really have a full understanding of the material since most of the emphasis was on application, with little focus on the actual intuition or reasoning behind a lot of what we did. TLDR: If you want an easy class you don't want to worry too much about, take this prof. If you want an interesting prof that challenges you so you can have a full understanding about class concepts, look for someone else.

33B with Prof Wang is definitely an extremely easy class, but you really don't learn anything. She doesn't give any intuition whatsoever, but rather puts a bunch of information on the table for you to jot down.

i did the midterm in 15 min. did the final in 30 min. i swear im not joking. want an A? take it. and i feel like i learn valuable stuff too, i dont completely agree with you learn nothing. but i completely agree that she is hard to understand and you would probs learn better from som1 else. but this class felt easier than a ge. would take again tbh.

Wang is genuinely unbelievable -- but in a good way (for you).

I went to the first lecture of this class, realized I would never in a million years be able to understand any material due to Wang's accent and her constant pauses and back-ups and jumps and turns, and from there on out I learned material once before the midterm, and then once before the final.

The weekly homeworks and quizzes are online and involve the absolute most basic problems from each section, so they're no big deal.

The day before the final, I realized I was in deep shit, as I hadn't learned any of the material past the midterm, which was during week 5. For some reason, the content is weighted heavily towards the second half of the class. Anyway, I pulled an all-nighter, and learned the entire course's material in the span of like 10 hours, something that I don't think would be possible in any other math class. Wang continues the trend of using basic problems on her midterm and final, so as long as you memorize the basic concepts, I find it hard to believe you could get worse than an A.

So basically, this is the professor you need to have for 33B. You probably won't learn the material nearly as well as if you took another professor's section, but it would take a great deal of effort to NOT get an A in this class. The day before the final, I was sure I was fucked, and I would end up with a B or C or worse. But after like 2 hours of grinding I realized the entire course could be memorized. Never felt more confident walking out of a test.

This class was not bad at all. The professor is a little bit hard to understand but the lecture notes are all you really need.

This class was one of the weirdest classes I've ever taken at UCLA. It's laughably easy, but that's because Dr. Wang is really bad at teaching the material. For one of the problems on the final, she literally gave us step by step instructions on how to solve it. If you're able to look at lecture notes and understand how to solve the problems she gives examples of, you should be golden. I've never taken a class were going to lecture was so pointless. Go if you need to be able to keep up with notes, but reading the lecture notes is actually a better way of studying. Also, she's almost never there??? Half of our lectures ended up being cancelled or moved online because she was at a conference. Overall, recommend if you want an easy A (although there is self-studying that you need to do), do not recommend if you want to actually understand anything about diff eqs past the basic "how do I solve this specific cherry-picked problem?"
