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

This class was amazing and the professor was so sweet. The pre-class assignments were due every monday, wed, and friday in her flipped classroom model but they were very doable and we only needed above a 70% average on them, so we were able to learn without the imminent fear of failing the class. And there were no finals or midterms just a bunch of outcome quizzes were not too bad.

i love rose <3 TAKE LINEAR WITH HER AND HER ONLY

Really nice professor. This is my first quarter at UCLA with an undecided major in mind but after taking the course I decided to major in fields related to Math. Her lectures are very clear and her office hours are very helpful. The gradings are nice. There are no midterm and finals but the majority of the grades are determined by outcome quizzes. I typically study every week and do about 2-3 quizzes per week. You will have in total 3 trials for the quiz but I normally just take it once and get all correct. At about week 9/10 I already know that I got an A+ so I can focus on other classes for the final. Really recommend this course!
