Quarter: Fall 2020
Grade: A

He's an awesome professor! His lectures are very clear and straightforward. Homework and exams are perfect reflections of the lectures so they are extremely fair. Took this during COVID, so the one midterm and final were 24 hours.

Quarter: Fall 2021
Grade: A

I thought the class wasn't that bad, but I also already knew most of the material because I took up to Calc BC in high school. The prof went through lecture material pretty quickly, so if you don't have any prior experience with calculus you'll probably have a hard time. He posted his notes and lecture recordings, which were helpful for when I didn't want to go to 8 am lecture. The most annoying thing was that we were forced to buy the $100+ textbook because it was connected to our online homework.

Quarter: Fall 2020
Grade: A

At first, this class began very disorganized and confusing. Lectures were jumbled and we were not on track as far as the syllabus said. As the quarter continued, did I really see the changes. The professor became very organized, he had time stamps on the side of his notes, clearly showing that we were both on track in terms of what was to be covered in the lecture, as well as made clear that he had gone through the material before hand.
Grading was fair. There was no curve, but as long as you did all the homework and did decent on exams, you would be fine. He takes criticism well and made it clear that any suggestions on improvement were welcome.

Professor Wumaier is incredibly helpful and kind. Having taken single variable calculus in high school, his class offered me a good refreshment of what I might have forgotten. The exams are fairly graded and you will do well as long as you understand all the concepts and do the homework practice.

Grade: B

This quarter, the professor for this class was alright. Much of the material covered in this class I learned in AP Calc which was kind of helpful. He does record the lectures which was good. I hated the midterms, for the first midterm I got all questions correct except one of them and I ended up getting a B on it. For most of the quarter he did offer extra credit, but stopped towards the end of the quarter. The $125 textbook is too overpriced :/ The very last day of the quarter he said he would curve the final grade to a B no matter how people did on the final, but then he sent an email saying he wasn't going to do that anymore, lame.

Grade: A+

The class was well organized and the professor always worked according to the syllabus. The midterms were fairly easy (watch out for specific questions in midterm 2). There are several opportunities for extra credit so make sure you attend the lectures to stay on track with that. Finals covered all the tough topics but there was enough time to ace it. DO TAKE HIS CLASS FOR AN EASY A.

this professor is honestly the best guy i've ever seen. he gives so many opportunities for extra credit- land up at his office hours, solve a question and BAM! u get extra credit. his tests are super fair and I found it really really easy to do (I have a history of doing math till multivariable calc in HS so i might be biased by saying this) but i haven't seen a single student hate on him for his tests so there you go. he is super helpful and super responsive to emails and questions you might have. the TAs are super smart guys as well and they also have office hours to go and clear doubts. the only drawback of this class is that he required us to get a 125$ textbook just to get a code to access online hw. I havent used the textbook ONCE and i dont have 125$ to throw for nothing. other than this, his class is an easy A with little to average amounts of work. I feel so happy for having taken his class and would definitely go back again. If you are new to this class, as you might be, read up on a few topics before entering the class so its an easy breeze for you, if not then dont worry, its still very learnable with him. thanks mr. maimaitiyiming <3 (short guy with a long name, jk)

Definitely a fast moving class, but the professor explains well. Remember to keep an eye on homework assignments, as they aren't always well communicated.

Professor Maimaitiyiming was very fair and incredibly nice in lectures. I am pretty sure this was his first quarter at UCLA but was still great in my opinion. He had 24 hour take home exams that were difficult and made to really test if you actually learned the course rather than regurgitating what you saw from the practice problems/tests. If you put in the work, you will do great in this class. Math is not my strong suit but I do think succeeding in this class is very doable.

He was very kind in terms of understanding that we just came out of two years of virtual learning. He gave opportunities for extra credit and had a very generous grading at the end of the quarter (he originally didn’t give us the generous grading changes but without telling us he did them anyways lol). He doesn’t really curve since the grades always averaged to about a B overall, but he did do things like extra credit or dropping the lowest assignment or midterm. Not sure if he will do that next quarter but he is very helpful in office hours and I’ve heard that emailing him is pretty quick too. Would definitely recommend!
