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!

I took 3C with him over the summer, and he is by far the best professor I've had at UCLA. I didn't find him too unorganized because honestly, there are so many professors who are even more unorganized. On the occasions when he forgot his lecture notes, I enjoyed watching him derive from memory on the board - he knows his stuff!!

I liked how he was always so enthusiastic to teach the material - you can't learn probability any better than learning it through poker hands and Russian roulette haha. ;] He also cares a lot about your learning and tries his very best to get everyone to understand the material, although he does tend to go off into tangents during office hours ('cause he's so eager to teach!).

Definitely take him if you can! :)

His lectures are a bit unorganized but he is a really nice guy and want everyone to succeed. Take him ! better than all the other math 3c professors. plus he is really really hot. you will never want to miss class just to get to see his ripped body up there lecturing.

i took him for summer session, and his lectures were very unorganized. he seems like he knows what he's talking about, but has difficulty helping students understand WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. his class was easy only because the class itself was an easy class. he's a nice guy, but has very unorganized lecture.

Got an A in the class with some work involved. Go to office hours, go over practice tests and hw thoroughly before exams and you'll do well. He's a good lecturer, a good guy, down to earth, speaks english well lol..i recommend him...i enjoyed this class maybe its b/c i've always loved math though : )

I really wish Professor Weisbart would answer his emails. I've emailed him numerous times, and have yet wait to receive an answer about my final grade in the class. I worked really hard to receive the grade I deserved, but I'm not sure if that will happen =(. He's a gr8 professor though and ALWAYS had his office hours open to his students.

I had Weisbart for two math classes. The negative aspect is that his lectures are not helpful and often confusing, especially for 3C. His questions on his exams are often poorly worded and thus can be interpreted in multiple ways, which is really bad for 3C, in which the word choice is everything!!! However, the positive side is that he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I would recommend taking him, but be prepared for some frustration along the way.

Professor Weisbart is one of the greatest professors i've had so far at UCLA. He is legitimately a great professor-not because he is smart, extremely concerned about his students, or because he is exceedingly patient with explaining material over and over. He is a great professor because he communicates the material in a worthwhile and effective way. All of his lectures have some sort of practical application to the real world, specifically geared toward becoming a doctor, because the class is for life science majors. The tests are very straightfoward and there isn't much that's new in the exams. There are small twists, but you should be able to handle them. I would definitely recommend taking him if you can.
However, you may have some mixed feelings after reading these reviews. Listen, if you're stuck in this high school mind-state where you want teachers to hold your hand and kiss your boo-boos then maybe you should reevaluate going to college altogether. Honestly, you should realize where you are, this is UCLA, not your high school. You will need to apply some effort into this class, probably like most classes you will take. You get out of a class exactly what you put into it, so don't expect to do well if you just sit there twiddling your thumbs expecting the professor to magically educate you.
That said, Professor Weisbart will actively try to help his students, while also teaching them about greater values and ideals. Bottom line, if you take him, you won't regret it.

Weisbart is my favorite teacher at UCLA. After taking so many required premed classes, it is nice to take a step out and actually think. His tests are fair and he has a generous curve. If you have the choice, try to take him!

A very nice professor. Math 3C was probably one of the most, if not the most, difficult math classes I've ever taken. I got through all of calculus with a breeze, but this course's material (probability, counting, combinatorics) is so counterintuitive that I really had a difficult time grasping the material. This is all somewhat irrelevant, though, since this class is required for life science majors. Professor Weisbart, although not the most organized, did try really hard to help students understand the material. The tests did have new material, but it required more than just doing the problems in the homework. This class really requires a lot of your own effort. Listening to someone lecture about this shit can only go so far. I got a D+ on the first midterm, but I worked harder to actually understand the material and ended up with an A. Admittedly, the spring 2009 class was probably a lot harder than previous quarters because of a lot of talk about the department pressuring Weisbart about giving out too many A's. This class at one point probably WAS a breeze, but it's a difficult class. Weisbart is a good teacher, but you actually have to put in work to do well.
