I think the evaluation above are really true. 32B has a lot of concept to understand but he actually visualizes this many concepts. He is concerned about students and really humorous. If you can, please take him.

Weisbart us a great professor. He really cares about how the students are doing. When I took the class, he gave "pop-quizzes" every once in a while. Eventually, it got to the point where he would tell us what was going to be on the quiz so that we could prepare for it in advance. Overall, the class wasn't too difficult, but it wasn't a breeze either. As long as you understand the material, you should be fine. He doesn't like to put ridiculously hard problems on the midterms and finals, he just wants to test your basic understanding. The exams might be computationally intense though.

I thought Professor Weisbart was a truly amazing professor. He really cared about student learning. He was always available if I had any questions, and he took the time to explain the problems step by step. What I thought was the most beneficial part of the course curriculum was when he explained how the problems we were doing were applicable to our lives as future physicians. I take away from his class, useful knowledge that I can put forth in the "real world". Make sure to go to lecture because he likes to make funny jokes and teach you about life in general. Thanks Weisbart

The person below me is on crack. SO not true. Weisbart is A WONDERFUL professor and he's not that easy. The material itself is a bit challenging, NOTHING like calculus, but Weisbart does an amazing job explaining it in such a way for his students to understand. He's a gem of a professor, i want to do well in the class for him because of how much he time he puts into our 3c class.

A lot of students give Professor Weisbart a lot of praise for being such a FANTASTIC teacher, but I honestly have a lot of trouble seeing it. Maybe it's just the material that's made me kind of bitter...because I've never hated math so much before...this stuff is pretty nasty. In any case, I can see that Weisbart is a caring person who tries really hard to engage his students, but in terms of actually TEACHING, he kind of sucks. In lecture, he goes off on random proofs that are like wtf...not even remotely related to the homework. And half the time, his writing is totally illegible. All in all, this class is just blahh.

He's a cool, nice guy, but doesn't know how to teach well.
I'm sure that he's smart, but he gets confused while he's teaching and it gets annoying when he keeps erasing what he wrote. So basically, his lectures aren't very helpful.

But the class is pretty easy-his practice midterms/finals are like EXACTLY THE SAME as the final. well, maybe not EXACTLY, but pretty much the same. It just has different numbers and wording.He gives a lot of hints too, regarding what would be on the test.

He's pretty helpful in that he has office hours (although I never went to it, I heard that he's helpful in that he gives out hints for tests) and is very lenient about homework. If a lot of students complain about homework, he postpones it or goes over the problems.

So if you want an easy going class, take this class. But if you want some hardcore math where you're really going to feel that you learned something, pick someone else.

I took Professor Weisbart for 3A and 3C and I can say he is one of the better math professors at UCLA. He is one of the nicest and most reasonable teachers imaginable. As an example, he once postponed the due date of a homework assignment because it was a nice day outside and he wanted us to enjoy the weather. He does give homework regularly but gives students more than enough time to do finish their work. He is extremely approachable and even insists that students call him by his first name. My only complaint is that he may be so smart he sometimes forgets people in the class may have no prior knowledge of calculus and gets ahead of himself. His midterms and final are almost exactly like the fairly detailed practice tests he gives. He is extremely concerned about students learning the material and genuinely wants his students to like him. If you keep up with the material there is no reason you can't get an A in either 3A or 3C.

After stumbling across the review directly below this one, I found myself in complete agreement. Weisbart's lectures are life changing, and the skills you learn from this class will be skills that you will keep close to you for the rest of your life. For anyone trying to be a doctor, Weisbart will teach you things that could save some of your future patients' lives by helping you decide whether it is better or worse to give medical treatment to your patients given that there is a possibility that the medication can kill if your patient does not have the disease and the patient actually tested with a false positive. He will also teach you how to better your chances of winning (given that winning is living) in Russian Roulette. In other words, he may save your life. Weisbart is a stud. Period.

Professor Weisbart is an excellent professor! He sincerely wants his students to succeed: his office hours were extremely helpful, and he never looked down upon students who didn't understand lessons the first time around. The class was well paced (we finished the material a week ahead of schedule), and yet still very thought-provoking. It was interesting to listen to professor talk about how combinatorics and probability are applied in science. I honestly had no appreciation or talent for math when entering the course, but after getting help in office hours and taking good notes in lecture I was able to understand the material and actually enjoy learning about it.

I honestly think this course was unexpected for me. My friends told me "Take this course, it's a breeze" and so I loaded up my schedule not worrying too much about "Probabilty"...boy was I wrong. This is by far the hardest class I've taken all year, yes, even harder than the infamous Organic Chemistry 14C. Nonetheless, I do not regret taking it. Yes it's challenging. Yes I still don't quite understand it 100%. But the way Weisbart teaches it in respect to your future career, it's well worth the struggle. He always emphasizes why certain things are important as a doctor. So yes, this class is definitely hard, but the struggle is worth the learning.
