I am sad to see Dave leave. He was a great professor who inspired students to learn for the sake of furthering one's self, not to learn to get good grades and be a bitch to college/your GPA. If more professors were like him, the school would be a better place especially for south campus classes. Great man, well progressed lectures, and such a cool and awesome dude.

He is a nice professor. He even held his own review sessions for the midterms and the final, but I think most students like him simply because the exams are easy.

Selling Multivariable Calculus by Rogawski for 32A/32B and Differential Equations for 33B. Message me at A************* for more info.

Is this guy for real? This professor is the shit!! He makes probability really interesting. We learned about poker hands and russian roulette probabilities. Everything he teaches directly applies to real world things. He even specifically taught to premeds about disease probabilities. Take this professor! You will learn and do extremely well! He does seem to go off on long tangents when you go to office hours, but he's a great guy. He will help you understand--hell he'll make sure the WHOLE class understands before moving on. It's crazy how much he genuinely cares. People usually don't get lower than C's, A/B range is very doable. Just do the homework and pay attention to certain problems--like poker hands, marbles problems, and such. I hope he's teaching so you guys can learn and actually like probability! Weisbart keep teaching!! And stay great!

Good professor easy midterms and finals but sometimes he makes tedious explanations. Take 33B with him and you would not regret. His practice midterms and finals are very useful he even uses some of them as the final exam questions. Take this class with him and you will get an easy A. By the way he also gives out A+.

He's a great professor and great guy. Definitely my favorite in the math department so far. He truly cares about student learning and is an easy going professor who also grades rather easily. His classes always have a 100% final option, but midterms are easy so you don't have go for that option although the final isn't bad at all. The median for our first midterm was 87% and median for second was 85%. His midterms are ridiculously easy for lower div math classes you are probably used to. And with some studying both his midterms are ace-able.

He also gives out an extraordinary numbers of A's! I know people who had Cs and Bs going into the final and got an A in the class by doing well on the final which was totally doable. Though his true/false questions on final were killers (each true/false question was almost 4% of your final which is also your final grade!)

Though he is an effective professor, you really shouldn't go to his office hours. He is helpful, but he likes to talk... A LOT. Often talking about his passion for math that is rather irrelevant to the issues the gang of students that are always there to ask questions. It's interesting to hear him talk, but you get frustrated when you can't ask questions because he is going off tangent. You will probably need to wait a good hour just to talk to him and even then you might have to come back at a later time.

All in all, this guy is legit. If you can take him, you are sure to love his class. He is teaching 131A Spring 2011 and there are ridiculous numbers of people trying to get into his class. His classes are sure to fill up the fastest at any quarter so be on the lookout! However, I heard he's is not teaching after this quarter, hopefully UCLA doesn't let him go.

He is incredibly smart but I had a hard time following what he was doing on the board. He tends to go off subject a lot and is working on like 2-3 problems at a time (my notes looked terrible!). The TA saved my life. I got an A because of the TA.

The person below me probably never paid attention in class and probably failed because Professor Weisbart is literally the BEST professor that I have ever had and he explains concepts in such an easy-to-understand way! I just took his 32A class and it was one of the most interesting classes that I have ever taken. That being said, I was there for his explanation about vectors and he gave at least 3 different ways to understand what they are and explained each and every way amazingly.

Many students are just used to memorizing, but Professor Weisbart actually teaches how to think about the subject. I didn't do very well on the first midterm. After that, I went to him to get help and he was so accommodating and willing to meet with me. He gave me the confidence I needed to figure things out and then I ACED the second midterm.

I am pretty sure my final exam went well too. If you have a chance to take any of Professor Weisbart's classes, I would definitely suggest TAKING ONE (or as many as you can)! He is the best professor that I have ever had at UCLA. Not to mention, he's hot ;)

All I can say is Weisbart is a boss. The pacing of the course is FAST but the way he teaches it all makes it feel like it's normal paced. I heard someone complain once that he dumbs things down and to that I say this: He doesn't "dumb" things down, he actually teaches the damn material so you understand it. If it feels easy? That's a GOOD thing.

He gives quizzes each week in discussions and they're easy. Both the TAs were extremely good too.

I don't know what else to say without giving away too much of the class but trust me when I say that if you have to learn probability, you want to take it with Weisbart. He knows his shit, which shows in the fact that he can teach every example in 2 or 3 different ways for people who don't immediately understand it.

The final was exactly like the quizzes, just longer. The textbook will help explain the concepts but his questions are a lot more straightforward. Pay attention to the types of examples he gives (Rings/markers, Russian Roulette, Cards, etc).

He's just an all around genuine, charismatic guy. He talks like his students (so if you're sensitive to cursing and what not...LA is probably not the city for you, lol). He's really funny and, a plus for all the straight girls and gay boys in the class, he is really, REALLY hot. I'm surprised he hasn't ripped a shirt yet what with the way his muscles bulge.

Anyway, take this class. UCLA needs a lot more Weisbarts.

Originally I didn't like Professor Weisbart's teaching because I thought he was difficult to follow, but by the end of the class I was able to understand most of the material. You'll either really like him or really hate him However no one can deny that he genuinely cares about his students and even though I didn't get to know him personally I always felt like he was talking to each student individually during his lectures through all of his stories and life lessons. The one thing I've always hated about college math courses, particularly at UCLA, is that professors will give an exam with lots of difficult problems in which you need to show all the skills to get the problem correct. However, the questions don't test on how well you know the basic skills, they test if you can solve the harder problems. And in the end most students end up failing even though they may be adequate in most of the course material. Weisbart used this new testing system based on C, B, and A level questions. Each section tests on the skills/level of thinking you need to get that grade. I suggest getting practice exams, doing his homework sets, and going to your TA's office hours because the material can be difficult for some people to understand.
Overall, I enjoyed the class and this guy really does deserve to get a teaching position at UCLA, none of that assistant adjunct crap! Shoutouts to our TA Faye, if you're lucky to get her as your TA you might just get an A!
