Amazing professor with a fantastic syllabus will lots of chances to mess up any mistakes throughout the quarter.

I might not be able to compare Professor Hazel to a professor or class in the Math Department at UCLA, but I can firmly say she's one of the best teachers I've had at UCLA. The course may be confusing at first, but it seems to all fall into place as you realize the meaning of the concepts she's teaching. She's very often available to answer your questions, whether it be during office hours or class time. She repeated questions when we might not be able to hear them and made sure we genuinely understood the material. She does a wonderful job clarifying any questions you have as long as you're willing to ask. In terms of workload, it was definitely on the lighter side (just a few assignments each week) and the only exam we had was the final, as a majority of your grade is based on short quizzes. These were a bit controversial as they definitely gave you more leeway to practice and get 100%, but at the same time, you only get two chances for each quiz, which some viewed as a bad metric for grading. But as long as you put in the work, it's an easy A. Overall, would love to take this class again, and saw it as a quarter well spent.

Math 33a is a cake walk compared with prior behemoth 32B, and the past bosses 31B and 32A. Maybe cake walk is exaggerating, as it does come with difficult concepts that are difficult to wrap your head around, but Hazel's lenient grading scheme and way of introducing topics to us with repetition made it a much easier class. We had 22 quizzes throughout the quarter amounting to 63%, no midterms, and a final worth 17%, with the rest comprised of homework. Her lectures were good, but since it was a 9am in bunche hall I decided to forgo walking and watch recordings. Overall I loved her approach to the class, and the addition of pre class assignments and extra videos to help out my understanding were great.
