Noah is such a great professor and I'm sad he's leaving for Australia. Lectures were really engaging and he did lots of examples to solidify our knowledge of the material. He explains things really clearly and used some diagrams that made some of the concepts easier to grasp. The tests were doable. We did similar questions in class and in discussion. Of course there were some more tricky questions, but that is to be expected. There was almost a quiz every week. It was on gradescope and usually around 4 questions. The difficulty ranged quite a bit, but overall not too bad. The homework on the other hand was challenging. The first one was definitely the hardest. It was around 4 questions, each with a couple of parts. I believe there was 4 total homework. I highly recommend taking his class!

Noah is an absolute god! I was thrilled to take this class after finding out he's also a fellow Aussie! I doubt this review is gonna mean much since he's leaving but a good review is the least he deserves after a fantastic quarter.

After hearing from a lot of students that 32B is the hardest of the MATH30 series, I can definitely say Noah and TA Joe Breen made it a lot more manageable and arguably easier. The entire class was online, but Noah focused a lot on intuition and liked to use visual aids to help explain the material. He didn't focus too much on proofs and explained a lot of difficult concepts quite clearly and succinctly. He also did a few examples from time to time.

There were 7 quizzes and 4 homeworks. The quizzes varied in difficulty from easy peasy lemon squeezy to difficult difficult lemon difficult (time squeeze). However, the lowest 2 quiz scores are dropped so if you didn't do so well on a couple you're fine. The homeworks were challenging and definitely applied the concepts taught during the lectures at a deeper level. However, Noah and Joe both had plenty of OH to help with the questions.

For the exam, we had 24hrs for the first, 48hrs for the second and 72hrs for the final. Given the length of time given, these were all manageable and the questions were an okay difficulty.

If he was still staying at UCLA, I'd definitely recommend!

Thanks to this class I realised that I don't hate math anymore! But all jokes aside, his lectures were really thorough and engaging, and the midterms & final were straightforward and definitely doable if you were able to understand the homework and problem sets. The homework was difficult, but collaboration was allowed on those so it wasn't terrible. I had heard that M32B was the hardest math class in the 30 series so I was a bit nervous going into it, but in my opinion, he did a really good job of explaining the more difficult math concepts. I heard he's going back to Australia this summer though :( I'm glad I was able to take his class before he left!

One of the best math professors I have had during my time at UCLA. Not only is Noah extremely nice and understanding, he's very well at explaining the concepts that pertain to this course. Coming into this class I was scared of Math 32B, considering the hell stories I had heard about this course yet Noah and the TA Joe made this class bearable. Even though the class was bearable, it wasn't easy, the class consisted of 4 equally hard homework, some hard quizzes, and some hard questions on both the midterm/final. I would say office hours are your best bet if you want to get a good grade in a class like 32B, going to office hours saved me so many times in this class!! Overall, I would say Noah was great at teaching the course material, was extremely accommodating, and extremely helpful. It saddens me that he is moving to Australia, he's honestly the best!

40% of the class get's a C. You have better options. Number don't lie. Mediocre professor but numbers don't lie. Wait a quarter and take Greene. At least she cares about grades.

Before I start writing this review, I have to address the complaints put forward by his 3 series students: You do realize that his grading scheme is literally par for the department, correct? 25% A's and ~65% A's and B's is roughly how most professors spread out the grading. In fact, it's one of the most lenient distributions. His scheme is very lenient as well. Some professors don't even allow you to drop a midterm. White allows you to drop a midterm and two homeworks/quizzes. The "numbers don't lie" except they are comparable to, or better than, most of the professors out there, and just because Greene is an amazing professor does not mean White is a terrible one.

White did have actual flaws as a professor when it comes to experience. He did explain concepts well for the most part, but would often get stuck in the middle of a proof or forget a fact under pressure. This made him hard to follow on certain days. For a math class, the homework was not very satisfactory. There were only six homework sets that you even had to consider, because there were only 3 homeworks and 3 quizzes with only a few problems graded on each, and messing up on a few could get you off to a very bad start (10/20 on the first homework personally was scary), even with the ability to drop two of them. That being said, he was still effective at getting the job done, had a good sense of humor, was very helpful on Piazza and outside of class and approachable to anyone who sought him out, and wrote very fair midterms and a fair final where each question had multiple ways in which you could go about solving it. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking 170A with White.

-One of the best professors I had during my first year at UCLA. He was clear and concise and reasonable.
-This class was at 8am, so thank goodness it was BruinCasted and there was no attendance - I almost never went to class.
-This class focused on integrals, so AP Calc AB was a perfect background and I didn't need to study much at all.
-My TA, Kevin, was extraordinary.
-The first midterm was really easy, the second was difficult, and the final was not bad at all.

Super nice professor!

Probably one of the most enjoyable math classes I've been in so far. Professor White really cares about whether or not the class learns, so he'll go over concepts that people don't understand more than once to make sure everyone is caught up. Sometimes he'll make demos (like he made his own mobius strip) for another visual aid in understanding difficult concepts, which I thought was pretty helpful. Homework is pretty easy, midterms can be difficult but fairly straightforward. One downside to the class is that sometimes he'll mess up in calculation when he does examples, but he posts his notes on CCLE so it's not that big of a deal. Also he's very nice and super approachable. Would recommend.

The midterms were simple if you did the homework and followed along in class. The quizzes were SOO easy and were always easier than what we learned in class. I got a B because almost half the class got an A on the final so the curve was adjusted accordingly. He’s a good professor and I feel like I actually learned in his class.

White was an okay teacher, I've had worse but I've also had better. His homework was a bit challenging at times but it was good practice for the midterms and final. His biggest flaw was probably how he set up our expectations. On the first day of class he told our class to expect the find the tests challenging, for example, an 80% on an exam could later translate to an A in the class. This was completely wrong though. Maybe our class was different from his previous classes but the first midterm had a 60 something % average (which was much lower than he expected apparently), the second midterm had a 75% average (what he was "aiming for"), and on the final, half the class got above a 90%. In the end, White actually ended up curving down. Compared to how he talked about grades at the beginning of class I found it confusing as to why he penalized us for doing too well on a test, but maybe I'm just salty about getting above a 93% in the class but still receiving an A-.
