Easily the worst professor to take MATH 115A with. Blasius overloads his students with homework and even acknowledges that it's too much. For a 5 unit course, it makes sense that the course load would be heavy and take a high time commitment. However, the amount of work assigned is ridiculous. I had some homework assignments take up to 30 pages or even more to complete. Note that this is a WEEK's worth of homework. On top of that, expect moderately difficult quizzes and midterms. Those are bearable and definitely not as strenuous as the final. The final was given online with 96 hours to do. You would expect that the 96-hour timeframe is to accommodate for other finals that students have to study for and also take. Wrong. The final was the longest and easily the worst final I've taken during my time at UCLA. The class has a few positives. The professor is understanding of how stressful he makes it for his students so he tries to be as accommodating as can be. Basically, it's great having a nice professor but that makes no actual difference to the course's workload and insanely difficult tests. If you take 115A with Blasius, I pray for you.
