Conley is an amazing professor. His lectures are straightforward and he takes his time out to explain everything very clearly. He holds review sessions before every test and proceeds to go over literally everything. Homework was simple and his tests are very direct and almost straight from the textbook. 10/10 would recommend him.

He is the best professor that I have had so far at UCLA (he won teacher of the year award 2 years ago). He holds 3-4 hour (perhaps longer) review sessions a few days before midterms/final and will explain all the material covered and answer all the questions that students have. Pretty easy class, especially if you have taken high school calculus. Do not worry if you have not, since he doesn't assume that everybody has. The only "difficult" aspect of the class is the coding assignments in lab. However, you can easily find help in TA office hours. Definitely take the ls30 series if you are not a math person.

Dr. Conley is an all-star professor. He truly cares about his students; he color codes his lecture notes, he holds super long exam review sessions, and in general, he's always available for help and clarificiation. He wants all of his students to succeed -- he wishes all of us could get As! He makes the class super engaging because he loves what he does. The labs at times were super frustrating, but it was a good challenge. The homework was only graded for completion and I thought the midterms and the final were super fair. People tend to be disruptive in class or they leave early which was so frustrating because he's just a smol bean. TAKE CONLEY!

This class along with LS30a have been, so far, the most interesting classes I've ever taken at UCLA since I, like many if my LS peers, despise calc. If you're not a math person, take the LS30 series rather than the math series (why suffer?) If you want the get the best grade possible, do your very best to get Conley as your professor because his lectures are engaging, you can see his passion for mathematics, and his care for our success is evident. If you get him as your professor or not for either LS30A or B,, make sure to attend Conley's review session because he answers literally every question the students have, goes over nearly all of the new material we covered, and shows us numerous examples by hand or on sage. Furthermore, the concepts of this class, especially feedback loops, give you a headstart on concepts you'll learn in other life science classes.

Basically, I highly recommend Conley and encourage you all to take his class.

HE IS AWESOME. I'd say choose him over any other professor.
Here are reasons why:
-He is very clear
-He teaches at an appropriate pace
-He answers question well
-He is not monotone or boring
-Although there is always a curve ball question, he prepares you for it.
-His review session is literally him reteaching everything and does not care if you have a million question he will stay until 12 am just to help
-He's just super nice in general

Reasons to not take him:
-there aren't

Side Note: LS 30 series is more conceptual than calculations needless to say my mid-terms and final had more writing than math.
Pro: In the end, you really understand concepts.
Con: You can't BS, there isn't a magical equation where you just plug things into.

Will is literally the best professor on campus. The man loves to teach. Case in point: he held a 3 hour review session before a midterm that started at 6 pm, then stayed behind 2 hours after the review session to answer questions. He will make you love math. If you already love math, he'll make you love coding. If already love both, he'll make you love them more. You can ask him anything any time. I did an honors contract with him, so I was in his office outside of office hours a lot, and you will not believe the number of former students who come to ask him for help on anything math or coding related. Even if you're a north campus gender studies major who doesn't need to touch math ever again in your life, I highly recommend taking this (or any) course with Will. Literally the best professor on campus.

Just here to reinforce good reviews of Conley. Really helpful especially in office hours.

Conley's teaching style is very organized, and he makes it easy to connect concepts. He is also very willing to help, often having review sessions from 6pm-11pm.

I had Conley for LS 30 A & B and he was pretty good. I felt the overall concepts taught in this class were easier than other math courses taught at UCLA. His midterms were definitely easy and the first midterm probably involved more writing than math, like knowing definitions and explaining a concept covered in class. I really liked the fact that he held super long review sessions before each test. But it was kinda unfair for students who weren't able to make it b/c I felt as we were approaching a midterm, he'd always rush. So at the review session he'd either cover a concept we didn't mention in class OR clarify something we went over really quick in class since it was gonna be on the test. But I felt it was unfair for anyone who didn't get this extra help if they didn't have enough time to make it to his review sessions. My only real complaint would be about the final though. I got A's on both midterms b/c they were literally just like his practice exams. But those trick you b/c the final was formatted to challenge you more. Which I get b/c this is still a college course but I didn't feel prepared for that extra challenge given the fact that the midterms were so easy and EXACTLY like the practice exams. Anyways he seems really interested in helping students and I don't think I've met another teacher who holds 6+ hour review sessions. He never seems to get tired. Anyways yeah I guess I would take it with him again

Conley is a god.
