Fall 2021 - Professor Greene was probably the single worst math professor I have ever had in my entire life. However, a lot of reviews unfairly characterize him as some sort of eldritch monstrosity. Greene is obviously very intelligent, and he does obviously care about his students. His office hours for example were very generous, there were three available every week-lasting until every single question asked by every single student was answered. Most math professors- even the nice ones-don't dedicate this much time to genuinely trying to teach the material. The issue is he's a terrible teacher and all this time was useless. The tests were terrible. They were almost entirely unrelated to the homework, however, if you go to all the lectures you are technically exposed to all the material. In summary, Professor Greene is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. But do NOT take his class. Don't even consider it. Wait the extra quarter.

Winter 2022 - 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

I had this professor freshman year first quarter. SCARIEST TEACHER EVER. Avoid if you can...especially if this is your first math class in a long while. I used to love math...until I took his class. He would put things you've never seen in your life in the midterm/final and say that it's a "learning opportunity." Screwed up my GPA from the get-go. Anywho...go for it if you want the challenge. Steer away and find someone else if you want an A. DEFINITELY NOT EASY!
