PROFESSOR CONLEY IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO UCLA.
I just want to thank Professor Conley for his dedication and support to his students. He is absolutely the best teacher and person ever.
I got a B+ in his 30A class and was super disappointed in myself, therefore I decided to go to his office hours religiously (every week) which was super helpful for homework and upcoming tests. (He does throw some curveballs on the tests.) And in office hours I learned that he is really the greatest teacher ever!
His office hours really really helped me, and his review sessions were (long) but super helpful. He also posts multiple practice tests and reuses some old questions you can find on tests at the test banks.
His lectures are fun and engaging, he does a lot of clicker questions for participation, so very easy points, you don't need to get the questions right! He writes down everything on the board, and as long as you copy everything down you're in good shape.
For labs, he doesn't give you a lab final (thank god!).
Warning: The first midterm material is really really easy, but it gets harder as the quarter continues. The material on the final is WAY WAY harder than what we learned in the beginning of the quarter.
but conclusion: TAKE PROFESSOR CONLEY AT ALL COSTS, HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!

Conley is the goat! Name another professor who hosts 6 hour review sessions to help students prepare for the final. He truly cares about teaching and wants to see students succeed. He uploads practice exams on CCLE before each test, and they are the best way to prepare for midterms and finals. The labs are annoying, but generally boost your grade.

I don't believe in a supreme being, but if there had to be one, this man is unequivocally the ONE. Will Conley explains every concept and problem incredibly well without any confusion lingering. We've all had those professors that are shady with their responses to questions, but homies, this man explains everything meticulously. You'll absolutely love the lecture on sea turtle conservation and see the beauty in what you learn.

Practice midterms and tests are accurate representations of the actual midterm/final with slightly different wording and algebra involved. Nothing is ever novel or surprising on those tests, so he's beyond fair. Lots of the concepts from LS 30A are interwoven in this course, which reinforces a better understanding of everything. I never had a test score below a 95, and I'm stupid. So if I can do it, y'all can praise your GPA because la lucha es real.

Labs-- just like LS 30A--is agonizing; coding will be the bane of your existence and the thing that haunts you. I am not particularly fond of coding, so I always despised this aspect of the class. Nonetheless, manageable. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but it's veryyy far away.

I always attended lecture, but by Week 8-9, ya boi was dead and ended up falling asleep quite frequently during lectures. My apologies Will Conley, but life was rOUgH. It's not that he was bad, but it was just me. However, I attended office hours, and was quickly able to make up the missing concepts. So, if you miss a few lectures, you'll definitely bounce back. Interestingly, he often included some questions from office hours into exams, but nothing to finesse your A.

Overall, wonderful professor. Nothing but respect for this man. I don't know how he does all those review sessions, but after all, he is a skinny legend. Love the man and what he stands for. He is incredibly kind and makes deliberate attempts to connect with his students. Deserves a raise, too.

Will Conley is one of the best math professors at UCLA. If you can get him in any Math class, you should take him. He is incredibly nice, engaging, and helpful. He made himself available to his students and no one was ever uncomfortable when approaching him for help. If you put in effort it is very easy to do well in this class. Just do the homework and pay attention and the tests won't be super difficult. I wish I could take math from Conley again.

The best professor I've ever had. He is dedicated to answering your every question and his explanations are PERFECT. He sacrifices late hours to helping his students. Truly a top-notch educator. I wish he could teach all of my math classes.

Conley was a decent professor in this class. I found his tests to be quite difficult, and much of the homework assignments we were assigned out of the textbook (10% of your grade) were completely different from the types of questions he would ask on the exams. My TA (B. Stone) wasn't all that helpful either, and we simply just did a series of worksheets for the first 30 minutes and then he would attempt to explain them. I found the discussion sections to be quite useless, to be honest. I wish I had known about the Student Math Center at the beginning of my first quarter. It was by far the most helpful resource I found in getting through this class. Overall, I don't think this class was easy, but I think Conley was fair, especially when compared to other instructors.

As a math major this class was easy for me. I took this class simply because I want to review some math material since I haven't been doing math for quite a while before college. However, Dr. Conley's background in abstract algebra can never be underestimated, and he delivers excellent talks in advanced topics outside his usual lower division classes.

Will Conley is a G. His class is insanely easy because it's basically AP AB Calc. honestly, my high school calc class was harder than this class. And even if you are confused on something, Conley will help you bc he's literally the nicest guy on earth. Also, you probably don't need to go to any lectures if you took AB calc in high school and got a 4 or 5 because it's all a repeat of that stuff. Just go to the review session before the midterms and final because he basically reteaches everything from the past lectures in a matter of three hours. So if you go to the review sessions and never go to lecture you probably could still get an A lol. The discussions are also nice because you just do practice problems and they don't take attendance. Take this class with Conley... it's the easiest math you'll take at UCLA I guarantee it.

Professor Conley is the best professor you will ever have at UCLA. He is the best math teacher and the most engaging lecturer I have ever met. He's kind and takes his time with everything. I'm writing this review after getting off a 6 HOUR final review session held by him from 6-11:15 pm not to mention hes been holding OH since 2 pm today so literally has not had a break. This man cares about his students more than himself; he is constantly going above and beyond for our benefit. LS30A is easy if you just pay attention. The concepts are simple or straightforward not to mention if you have even the slightest background in calculus the majority of it is just based on that. If you don't, don't worry because Conley makes it so easy. I cannot stress this enough--Dr, Conley is the best. Take this class with him if you can. LS30 series is generally pretty easy from what I've seen/experienced so far. Conley if ur reading this....ily

Professor Conley is one of the best teachers in the Math department. He explains very clearly the topics and really cares about his students. Every lecture he would start by doing a quick review on the last one, before continuing to new topics. He makes this class really simple and helps you understand wat better than other professors. There is weekly homework, two midterms and a final. You can drop your lowest midterm. There is also Sapling. What was really great about him were his review sessions, He would spend 4 hours in a classroom reviewing all the topics for a test, without getting tired!
Professor Conley is one of the only lectures I have had that actually enjoys teaching. If your knowledge in Calculus is not strong, you should definitely take this class.
