Professor Morris-Wright is heading off to Middlebury to teach after her contract expires this year. I will definitely miss her teaching style.
She is a very liberal-art styled professor: 90% of the grade is based on daily participation, with a very easy final exam. If you can stay on top of the weekly outcome quizzes and have the drive to really learn linear algebra, this class is fantastic. However, I kinda regret not putting in more effort during the spring quarter because I don't think I learned that much.

Good class, flipped classroom format but you hopefully shouldn't need to go into class most of the time unless a concept was confusing. 72% of the grade comes from outcome quizzes you take each week -- 1 question quizzes where you get 3 tries to get it right. The strategy is every weekend for ~4 hours, watch that week's lectures and do the outcome quizzes so that you literally don't have to worry about the class for the week after that. Low stress and her teaching style is chill, especially for linear algebra. The class has a good focus on applications of lin alg, covering interesting topics like PCA, SVD, Least Squares Optimization, Image Compression, etc. which will really help for applied math/science and engineering fields. Final is worth 10% of grade, so if you get every outcome quiz and every pre-class assignment (just a check that you watched the lecture) right, you need a 30%. Content is engaging and an interesting change of pace coming from MATH 32A/B or other calculus classes.

Overall, I think that Morris-Wright is a pretty good teacher. This quarter, the class was formatted in a flipped-classroom styled approach, where you'd watch the lectures and do the assignment before lecture time and then you'd have the choice to go to lecture or not, which was more like a Q&A. Your grade consisted of the pre-class assignments, some participation, quizzes that you'd do weekly, and a final (no midterms). The grades weren't calculated in a more unorthodox method rather than a more straightforward system, so I won't really go into that here. Even though the material isn't very intuitive, the lecture videos explain the material pretty well. I feel as if the flipped-classroom format somewhat hurt peoples' ability to fully comprehend the material as it is less engaging, but it all just depends on the learning style of the student.

This class starts off easy and becomes difficult. She gives outcome quizzes for which you only get credit if you're 100% correct! A lot of times I made careless mistakes and ending up getting a 90, but it still didn't count so I ended up with 0 credit out of 3 points. They count for the overwhelming majority of your grade which I think isn't the best system and nothing is dropped etc. Besides that, it's extremely well organized, and if you focus and watch all her videos, do all the pre class assignments an A- is quite feasible. There is a lot of self learning, something that is not super ideal and no curving. However, overall the course isn't as bad and definitely not one of the harder math courses especially with Prof. Morris

Weekly quizzes. If you do not get a full score, counts as 0. I didn't get full marks on some of those quizzes so a B+ was not surprised, but I'm pretty upset that I got such a low score in such an easy class.

I would Iike to give professor Rose a lot of 🌹 to show my thanks. She is one of the most patient professors I've met at UCLA

Great professor, in Spring 2022 she used a special grading system that made it so I needed a 30% on the final to get an A, a lot of people only needed a 20%.

great class! one of the less stressful math classes if you can take it with her

I love Rose. Her videos before the class were super informative, and allowed all of the material to be easily digestible. She also posted pages of the textbook that correlated with each video, which made it super easy to follow along. AMAZING math professor.

Professor Morris-Wright was great. She really went in depth about the topics and especially about the ways they connected to each other, which made the class easier to understand. She was very knowledgable about content and always happy to help if you had a question. I would definitely recommend.
