32B is considered one of the hardest lower div math classes here at UCLA. I would even say it's the hardest computational lower div math class. It really has nothing to do with the professor. The class content was just hard.

The class is consisted of 2 midterms, weekly discussion quizzes, and 2 challenge reports. The weekly discussion quizzes are group quizzes, so you collaborate with other students to do it. Getting a good group with collaborative people was really important to get full score on the quizzes (or just pray one of the group mates knows everything and can carry everyone else lol). The challenge reports are usually longer problems where you have to do textbook style write-ups. Just explain your answers with detailed words and say why you did so and so. Usually, getting full score on challenge reports are pretty easy. You are also encouraged to use resources including the textbook, lecture notes, other students, the TA and the prof (just cite where you got your information at the end).

Overall, I think this class is alright. I definitely spent a LOT of time studying for the final and I didn't particularly like how homework was not required. You are still encouraged to do it but you just don't have to turn it in. There was just no motivation for all of us to do them so we missed a lot of practice opportunities.
