Quarter: Winter 2022
Grade: A

If you want a math class that gives an easy A, take this class. Overall, the professor isn't very good. Her lectures are very dry and sometimes difficult to decipher (both with her heavy accent and sometimes unclear handwriting) and are taken directly from another publicly available source of differential equation lecture notes. The assignments as well as exams are ridiculously easy and sometimes it makes me wonder whether or not I learned much in this class.

first math class i've taken where exams were not online and i had a hard time with how much we had to memorize. like other reviews say, she just copies another professor's notes. she's also very quiet and barely intelligible on the zoom recordings. lectures in general were probably the worst part of this class she was not engaging at all.
we had 6 hw assignments (random questions graded on correctness, rest on completion; pretty easy) and 5 quizzes (24 hours, also pretty easy). for both midterms she was pretty clear about what would be on the exam, and it wasn't Much harder than the problems you see in the work she gives out. i thought the final was a lot harder but i kind of stopped paying attention after the second midterm so thats on me.

This class was so ridiculously easy. 5ish HWs and Quizzes, lowest dropped. I'm pretty sure I only got 1.5 points off all quarter. My TA taught me almost everything I learned. I skipped through lecture recordings and wrote down summaries, took about an hour a week. Exams directly related to HWs and Quizzes. She tells you exactly what type of problems will be on the test the week before. Just read through her bullet points, do a practice problem on each type, and you'll get an A.

Silliest class ever.

The professor doesnt know how to teach except to read off notes written by some other guy. And it goes very much into depth and uses a lot of unnecessarily complex mathematical jargon to explain straightforward concepts.

I stopped attending/watching lectures after week 5 and learned pretty much the entire material using khan academy or reading the lecture notes myself in the span of a few days.

If you can take this class, PLEASE take it. It's a free A--with minimal workload.

Easiest math professor I've ever had. If you want an easy A+ take her. The only bad part is that you won't really learn anything, but there's no material you couldn't self-learn anyways.

This class is very easy when compared to other UCLA math classes. All the HWs and Exams are very straightforward and you can use wolfram alpha to check a lot of your work especially for the first half of the class. 2 Quizzes and HWs are dropped so you can drop the longer/harder ones if needed. Highly recommend taking this class with this professor.

Prof. Wang is an absolute legend.
She focuses on the big picture in her tests, with like at least half the questions on exams coming from lectures, worksheets, and homework. The workload was really light. The thing is even though it's an easy class, I still feel like I learned the material and understand differential equations. I wish more classes can have stress free learning.

Probably the easiest class I've had at UCLA. Homeworks were really short and quizzes/tests were pretty easy. She told us what topics to expect from the midterms and final, which made them even easier to study for. The class had two midterms and one final.

This was the easiest math class I've taken at UCLA. The homework and quizzes are pretty straightforward and your 2 lowest assignments for each (i.e., 2 HW and 2 quizzes) are dropped at the end. The exams are just like the homework. Professor Wang covers all of the content very well during lecture and you don't really need the textbook unless you want to look at more example problems (you don't need it for homework).

If you've taken Math 33A before, then you'll have like a week or so of review around the 2nd half of the quarter. But you can just as easily take 33A concurrently.

As everybody says, this is an easy class. There's hardly any work involved, and it's easy to check your homework or quiz answers. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the midterms and final, so don't study for anything that she didn't explicitly say. She's a pretty bad lecturer, and everything she says is basically from the textbook. I have one friend who would just look up the topic of each class and find a video online explaining it, and she did better than me in the class (I attended every lecture). Zehan Chao was a terrible TA—most discussions he would either not be prepared, talk about a topic not relevant to the current week's material, or just not even know how to solve his own problems (multiple times there were students who had to go up and help him). I just went to discussions to meet up with my friends. That being said, the discussions really don't even matter because of how easy the class is. I'm not sure how well I understood the material, but I did at least have a basic enough understanding to apply it to my other classes.
