Fall 2018 - This class is a good refresher of basics before you take 31A or 31B, so if you want to review easy math in high school and get an A then take this class. There was homework due every Friday, but the questions are easy and basically just a review of what you did in lecture. Discussions are mandatory, but it was only 50 minutes long and it was a good way to go over certain concepts and then after we would just do a worksheet. The midterm was very easy, however, the final was significantly harder. Despite that, there is an extremely generous curve. I did not do well on the final and still got an A in the class which shows how kind the curve is. If you place into this class or want to take it as a math refresh, I highly recommend it as the material is a good stepping stone to calculus and if you do your work it's a GPA booster.

Fall 2024 - This review is from someone who took AP Calc AB: Greene is a wonderful lady that class makes it feel like home. She is like a grandma that takes care of you to make sure you get the concepts correctly. Math 3A only goes up to derivatives and not that hard to understand. Make sure to do the practice problems and know your formulas and if you do that Exams will come easy. One critique I have is sometimes the class does seem slow paced that it makes me fall asleep. Homework isn't bad, just a bunch of problems; however it is graded based on accuracy. Overall, if you need this as a requirement and Greene is teaching, I recommend it!
