TAKE HIM AT ALL COSTS. DO IT.

Will Conley is the GOAT. The midterms were very reflective of what we were learning in class.
Nothing was unfairly graded in my opinion and it seemed like the grading was actually done in a way to give the student the highest possible score with the work that was turned in. The homework is a bit more difficult than the worksheets and tests, but this actually helped me to further understand the course material. Conley is extremely nice and always provided resources that allowed us to succeed in Math 31AL. I would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Will conley is the greatest human being to grace the planet. I would trust him with my own children. Please take this mans class. Super nice, informative, and engaging. Everything was manageable. Will Conley is the definition of beauty.

Professor Conley is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is incredibly clear and thorough with his teaching. He's also very understanding and helpful for anyone who gets lost or confused. His prerecorded lectures taught me so many concepts that I really struggled to grasp in high school. I HIGHLY recommend taking any course he teaches.

He's the best seriously! I always struggled with math but he really made it easier to understand. I couldn't have had a better professor.

Professor Conley is THE BEST. He is one of the few teachers I have had so far at UCLA that genuinely wants all students to pass his class. Conley goes above and beyond to help his students succeed. He is generous with grading and attendance considering it is virtual and much harder. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and learned a lot. If you ever get the chance to one of his classes you should!

Professor Conley is one of the best teachers I have ever had. If I could take every math class with him I would. He is a very clear speaker and his lectures are very helpful. Homework is completed on Sapling. During COVID he allowed us to have infinite tries on the problems. He assigns challenging questions, but if you go to office hours he can show you how to properly complete them.
His midterms were challenging for me and I failed the first one. But this was because I didn't attend his review session and I didn't spend much time on the provided practice exams. For the 2nd Midterm and Final I went to the review sessions and completed the practice exams. They are very similar to the actual tests. Definitely take advantage of his review sessions. He puts a lot of time into them, sometimes spending 4 hours going over material and answering everyone's questions. He gave us 24 hours to complete the exams. I took about 5 hours on the final because I tend to make silly mistakes but the review sessions and practice tests prepare you well.
Professor Conley allows for 2 grading schemes and chooses whichever one will give you a better grade. Since I did well on the 2nd midterm and final he dropped my 1st midterm (which I failed) and I was able to pull through with an A-. There are also short quizzes every week. I did ok on them, but if you do well you can get a few extra points with them.
If you have the chance to take a math class with Professor Conley definitely do it. He is such a dedicated and approachable teacher. He also showed us his dogs at the end of the final review session, which was nice after 5 hours of reviewing material. If you do not do well in this class it is because you are not taking advantage of all of the resources Mr. Conley provides.

I almost failed calculus in high school but got an A in this class Will is a great professor and a good guy

If Peter Parker became a math professor. Conley was extremely accommodating with the online learning format. He didn't make live lectures or discussions mandatory, recorded his lectures, etc. He stays over his scheduled office hours time to help out students and even gave a 5 hour review session for the final.

Since this is technically the second time I'm taking this course (I took AP Calc AB in high school but didn't get a 5 on the exam), the course was manageable for me. However, the difference between my high school teacher and Conley is night and day. While my high school teacher wasn't bad, I never felt like I fully grasped the material based on her lectures alone. With Conley, I had a significantly deeper understanding of the material because he explains topics so that you understand them conceptually.

Great professor and great guy, I felt lucky to have him as a professor.

Professor Conley is one of those professors that really cares about his students. You'll need an account for Aleks in the class but if you need financial aid, he'll give you a code for that. His review sessions are pretty helpful, they pretty much sum up every lecture which is really nice compared to one of those Q & A review sessions. I could've gotten an A if I didn't slack off my studying for the final, the class is doable if you put the effort in. He's a really nice guy (always smiling), very approachable if you need help or whatnot.
Selling the textbook in a binder (the textbook comes in handy for Math 31B as well)
