If you want a math class that gives an easy A, take this class. Overall, the professor isn't very good. Her lectures are very dry and sometimes difficult to decipher (both with her heavy accent and sometimes unclear handwriting) and are taken directly from another publicly available source of differential equation lecture notes. The assignments as well as exams are ridiculously easy and sometimes it makes me wonder whether or not I learned much in this class.
first math class i've taken where exams were not online and i had a hard time with how much we had to memorize. like other reviews say, she just copies another professor's notes. she's also very quiet and barely intelligible on the zoom recordings. lectures in general were probably the worst part of this class she was not engaging at all.
we had 6 hw assignments (random questions graded on correctness, rest on completion; pretty easy) and 5 quizzes (24 hours, also pretty easy). for both midterms she was pretty clear about what would be on the exam, and it wasn't Much harder than the problems you see in the work she gives out. i thought the final was a lot harder but i kind of stopped paying attention after the second midterm so thats on me.
This class was so ridiculously easy. 5ish HWs and Quizzes, lowest dropped. I'm pretty sure I only got 1.5 points off all quarter. My TA taught me almost everything I learned. I skipped through lecture recordings and wrote down summaries, took about an hour a week. Exams directly related to HWs and Quizzes. She tells you exactly what type of problems will be on the test the week before. Just read through her bullet points, do a practice problem on each type, and you'll get an A.
Silliest class ever.
The professor doesnt know how to teach except to read off notes written by some other guy. And it goes very much into depth and uses a lot of unnecessarily complex mathematical jargon to explain straightforward concepts.
I stopped attending/watching lectures after week 5 and learned pretty much the entire material using khan academy or reading the lecture notes myself in the span of a few days.
If you can take this class, PLEASE take it. It's a free A--with minimal workload.
I took this class Fall Quarter my freshman year, so wasn’t really sure what to expect. The class ended up being pretty alright! The professor doesn’t really help you understand the material conceptually, but the TAs and Prof literally tell you the problems that are going to be on the midterms and finals. Lectures are very optional, discussion are decently helpful, and the lecture notes (pre-typed) are absolutely incredible.
This course is basically a free A course. Professor Wang basically went through the notes she posted and that's pretty much it. Tests are in the similar format as weekly quizzes and homework.
This professor's teaching ability is equivalent to that of a second grader. As long as you can read out loud and copy down things word for word, you would be able to teach this class at the same level as she does, maybe even better. If you want to learn anything, just read the textbook. There is no point in going to lecture because she zooms through the material while explaining the bare minimum, using confusing notation that seems very complicated at first with no explanation, and throwing random proofs and theorems at you with no logical sequential order. Half of the things discussed in class just come out of no where and make no sense when they're introduced because they just don't fit into the bigger picture of what was previously discussed, or at least the professor fails to show the class how new material is relevant until the point where you're too bored or lost to care. The tests are very easy (at least in online format) and the homework doesn't take longer than an hour (if that) to complete each week. Discussion sections could be useful as the TAs will probably be able to explain things better than her. Would greatly discourage from taking diff eqs with this professor, especially if being able to understand and use diff eqs is important for your major.
Super easy A. The lectures are basically the prof copying down the lecture notes (which are posted). Just find the example problems in the lecture notes that you need for exams and hw and you're set. She always tells what topics are on exams too.
As everybody says, this is an easy class. There's hardly any work involved, and it's easy to check your homework or quiz answers. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the midterms and final, so don't study for anything that she didn't explicitly say. She's a pretty bad lecturer, and everything she says is basically from the textbook. I have one friend who would just look up the topic of each class and find a video online explaining it, and she did better than me in the class (I attended every lecture). Zehan Chao was a terrible TA—most discussions he would either not be prepared, talk about a topic not relevant to the current week's material, or just not even know how to solve his own problems (multiple times there were students who had to go up and help him). I just went to discussions to meet up with my friends. That being said, the discussions really don't even matter because of how easy the class is. I'm not sure how well I understood the material, but I did at least have a basic enough understanding to apply it to my other classes.
This was the easiest math class I've taken at UCLA. The homework and quizzes are pretty straightforward and your 2 lowest assignments for each (i.e., 2 HW and 2 quizzes) are dropped at the end. The exams are just like the homework. Professor Wang covers all of the content very well during lecture and you don't really need the textbook unless you want to look at more example problems (you don't need it for homework).
If you've taken Math 33A before, then you'll have like a week or so of review around the 2nd half of the quarter. But you can just as easily take 33A concurrently.
