Quarter: Fall 2020
Grade: B

She is probably the best professor I've had this quarter, with that being said she actually puts in the effort and time to make sure you understand a concept. She will try her best to make you feel like you are in lecture actually learning. Her zoom meetings are live, and she writes out and explains everything you need to know. She assigns a lot of heavy homework problems, but that's probably for the best. Quizzes and exams (midterms and final( were 24 hours long! So that helps ease the anxiety of the class. Again, amazing professor for Linear Algebra I would definitely recommend taking it with her.

Dr. Hazel is a great teacher. She is incredibly helpful and does her best to make sure the students understand what is going on. If you are having difficulty office hours will definitely help. The tests will make you think and you may get stuck but if you utilize the time given you will be just fine.

Without a doubt, Professor Hazel was the most prepared professor I've had during this time of distance learning. She came well-equipped to teach online with ethernet and a tablet. She was also extremely well-spoken and very clear in her lectures and explanations. The homeworks were optional, so the class was graded based on the weekly quizzes and the three exams. I enjoyed her personality and her teaching style, and I would definitely recommend her.

Grade: B+

Prof. Hazel is very clear in lectures and gives great explanations in class about all those conceptual things. But one thing to be careful- she's super strict on proofs. For instance using symbols rather than sentence, missing the assumption statement in proof by contradiction, etc., might all lead to deducted points. HW's are just for practice (no need to submit), but there are weekly quizzes testing HW contents. There are two midterms and one final, all of them doable but like I said, very strict on wording of proofs. Just be very careful with details!!

You should definitely take 115A with Prof. Hazel. I took 115A with a different professor last time and ended up dropping. Professor Hazel's lectures are so much better!!!
She provides very clear examples about how you should write proofs and her quizzes and exams are around the same level of difficulty as the homework. She's super helpful during office hours and will go over a simple concept with you multiple times until you understand.
However, you should know 115A is still a difficult class. I barely got an A and that's because I've taken 61 and 115A before. It's important to have realistic expectations going into this class.

Prof. Hazel is an absolute gem of a lecturer! She is really good at explaining the material, and her lectures are very engaging. This course content was super interesting, but can be a little overwhelming at times because it involves a little bit of proofs, and some more intermediate logic needed to solve problems. All the class examples, homework problems, and test problems were very satisfying to finish! Such a great introduction to both upper division math classes and comp sci algorithms!

One of the most straightforward and effective classes I've taken at UCLA! Professor Hazel is great; she has nice handwriting and clear lectures, is incredibly organized, leaves time in lecture for questions/clarifications, and is also really helpful outside of class. I never left lecture confused, and although there were some homework and exam problems that were somewhat hard to figure out, I always felt I had the tools to succeed with them eventually (and this was the case!). Essentially, she teaches content well and then sets very reasonable expectations on the homework and exams. It's night and day with some of the other professors I've seen in the math department... If you have the chance to take a class with Hazel, don't hesitate! (Also, one of my favorite textbooks [Johnsonbaugh]; visually pleasing and fairly straightforward to read, for a change, even if the proofs can get a bit dense.)

Overall, a great professor and makes the class very doable and accommodating, HOWEVER, if you are a major procrastinator and don't tend to stay on track, this is not the class for you.
