The workload was very heavy, the weekly homework takes a lot of time to complete. The two midterms were very challenging and I was often marked off almost all of the available points for simple errors such as a missing symbol, these simple errors almost made me fail the class.

Grade: A

Admittedly I found this class easy because I'd taken AP Calculus in high school, but I think even people without prior knowledge will do well with Professor Greene. She genuinely cares about her students, so she's always willing to answer questions and help you when you have trouble. Her lectures move at an appropriate pace and are pretty clear, and when something is unclear and you need clarification she's always willing to explain. Each homework assignment was only about 10 problems, and while there were several assignments due across the week, it was easily manageable; it wasn't busywork with too many useless problems. Exams were the same difficulty or slightly harder (but not too much harder) than homework. The TA Harris Khan was also very helpful, doing many clear examples and having a lot of office hours to help students. Overall, I'd highly recommend taking math with Paige Greene.

Quarter: Summer 2020
Grade: A

I took this class in six weeks over the summer through CSI, and it was a good introduction to UCLA. Speaking as someone who literally despises math with every aspect of my being, Professor Greene actually made this complex concepts easy to understand. She is the sweetest lady and was always so chatty before class and in office hours, and loved showing us her cat and her grandson :) Her main goal is not to just teach the concepts, but to teach why the concepts work the way they do and how we arrived at them. A lot of things she explained were things I learned in high school, but never truly understood until now. There is homework almost nightly on Sapling, but it was usually like 7-10 problems and didn't take too long if you knew what you were doing. Be sure to attend lecture and take your own notes, because although she uploads her slides, they are handwritten and (due to the nature of trying to write on an IPad), difficult to read. She has a ton of office hours and was so accommodating whenever a technical or personal issue arose, and Harris was an absolutely fantastic TA as well. Since I struggle with math, I always attended every lecture, discussion, and office hour, so the class became time consuming, many of my peers did very will without committing so much time. She is very considerate and generous, and allows notes and other resources on her midterms and final, which were very fair (although rather long and time consuming, but again, I'm slow at math). I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to take this class, especially over the summer or anyone who generally isn't the fondest of math. Hoping she teaches 31B soon!

Professor Greene really is an incredibly sweet professor! She explained concepts really well and took her time going over it. This class consisted of

achieve online assignments (20%)
Written homework which are questions from the textbook (15%)
Midterm I (20%)
Midterm II (20%)
Attendance (5%) , with 2 absences that get excused
Final (20%)

There was also an option to drop midterm II and have the final worth 40% of your total grade. Overall this class was very manageable. With it being online still, our exams were all online and 24 hours. Professor Greene would post it early giving us about 30 hours to complete the exam. She also responds to emails very quickly! The only complaint I would have is the structure of the class. Due dates aren't easy to remember like every Sunday. Despite this she did make it very clear during lecture and on canvas what day the homeworks would be due and gave plenty of time for it to be completed. I highly recommend Professor Greene if you're taking Math 31B, she really cares for her students.

Her grading scale :
98-100 : A+
90-98 : A
87-89 : A-
80-86 : B
68-79 : C
<59 : F

Unlike some of the professors here at UCLA, Greene does not assume you've already taken AP Calculus ABCDEFGHI.... in high school. She takes her time to explain important concepts thoroughly. Most importantly, connects them to real life examples that helps you realize the importance of calculus. I originally took the class with another professor but ended up dropping it because of how horrible the material SEEMED to me. Little did I know that the professor was just butchering calculus, so when I took this course with Greene, she showed me the true beauty behind calc. She is easy to comprehend and talks in a very clear manner. I went into the class hoping never to take another calculus class, but left wanting to take more. UCLA keeps hiring PhD students to teach classes that they have no business teaching because it saves them money. Greene is one of those rare professors who doesn't have a PhD, but has stuck around because she has a clear talent for teaching. If you're scared of calculus but want to like it it, take any course with her. You'll thank me and her later.

I love Professor Greene! If you have taken calc in high school, this class is not hard at all. What was really cool was that I actually now understand the concepts that I already knew. In high school, I memorized the properties but never really understood them.

I would recommend that you attend her office hours, as she, personally, will answer any questions you have about homework, or if you just want to talk, she is there. Although her tests are a little harder than the practice problems she provides, you will be fine, just know the material. Attending TA sessions is part of your final grade in the class, but the sessions are helpful in that they provide worksheets that cover past material to reinforce it.

I would 100% take this class again! :)

In agreement with everyone here, Professor Greene's a great teacher! I took Calculus before taking this class, but the way she explained different concepts really helped me to understand the reasoning behind the material. She's a great lecturer and was super helpful during office hours. Seeing pictures of her grandson and her cat was a plus too!

The class is pretty light in terms of workload. Weekly online assignments for homework, two midterms, and a final, all of which were pretty easy as long as you paid attention in lecture. Harris Khan was an amazing TA. Very responsive with emails and accommodating for students in different time zones. It was super useful to go to both his and Professor Greene's office hours since they both explained concepts so clearly.

The most kind and caring professor I have met at UCLA. Her class always fills up first every enrollment period for a reason. Go to her office hours and you will receive the grade you want. She has 8 WHOLE hours of office hours per week. I have never heard of a professor that puts him/herself so available to students.

In regards to tests, her midterms are very similar to her practice exams, so they are very predictable. Her final exam for 3B was quite hard I must say, however for 3C, it was ridiculously easy.
