Clover May's lectures are usually pretty clear and helpful -- she does a good job explaining why certain concepts or ideas are useful and is always happy to take questions. Homework is pretty reasonable in length.

She is very particular about how she wants you to write proofs, which can be frustrating because it will cost you points on exams if you don't follow her instructions (for instance, you have to explicitly cite theorems and you have to write in full sentences).

Her check-ins (which were 2x per week) took so. long. She did start grading them solely on completion though after enough people complained (she does a mid-quarter feedback form), so that was nice! She also dropped like, 3 or 4 of them out of ~18, which also helped.

Honestly, as long as you remember to follow her specific rules on proof-writing (which will probably honestly make you better at writing proofs, since her rules are designed to make your proofs as clear as possible), go to lectures, do homework, and ask questions, you'll probably be fine.

The professor is good at explaining concepts and lecturing students. Her office hours are helpful, along with the homework she gives. Her practice tests were invaluable.
There are quizzes, which can be difficult, where the lowest 2 out of 9 quiz scores are dropped.
The tests were very difficult, with lots of questions and not enough time.

I don't know about other Math 32A classes but I'd say the class is an easy A. Her lectures are super clear and she gives examples of exactly what you would expect in exams. She gives homework but doesn't grade it (i.e. practice problems) and I never even looked at them. As long as you don't miss her classes and discussion session (where your peers ask about problems in homework that are worth thinking,) you will find the exams fairly easy.
The only bad thing about her lectures is that they are not colorblind-friendly. She often draws illustrations in not so distinct colors.

Professor May takes a bit of getting used to, but I had her for two consecutive quarters, which I believe helped. Her examples are very clear and thorough, but significantly easier than the homework and exams. The homework can be a bit lengthy at times, but it's good preparation for the exams, and her grading scheme is fair (she'll drop the lowest two homework assignments). Exams are difficult and a bit of a time crunch, but not impossibly so. However, her grading on exams is rather stringent, and she doesn't always clarify what specifically she is looking for. (i.e. she withholds points for not identifying relevant theorem when it wasn't stated in the question that that was required).

May is a very engaging lecturer, and she did a generally good job of covering the material and making it interesting. She has frequent office hours and goes out of her way to answer student questions. However, the homework in this class was INSANE. The individual problems aren't too bad, and they're assigned straight from the textbook so its easy to find solutions, but these are ~15 minute problems and she would assign 20 of them each week. Sometimes it would take me upwards of 10-12 hours total each week to finish, since I would usually make mistakes on the first try. The homework is actually graded, and not on participation; 5 of 20 problems are graded each week by the TA's, so one mistake in those 10 hours can easily drop your grade. Homework is due at the start of discussion so you have to go. The exams are VERY difficult as well, but our midterms and final were both very similar to the practice exams so they were doable. I probably poured hundreds of hours into homework and studying (studying the textbook chapters is the most helpful) and caused myself a lot of grief just from the sheer workload. Was expecting this class to be difficult but not to eat up all my free time like it did.
Disclaimer: I've heard that May's homework policy was different in other classes (i.e. quizzes instead of graded homework), and I think a lot of students were frustrated with the homework this quarter, so she may read the evaluations and assign less homework in the future. I hope so for your sake.

I thought May was a good instructor overall, but be prepared cause this class is tough. She assigned a lot of homework each week, and she didn't curve the class. To put this in perspective, I got pretty decent scores on the homeworks (she even drops your 2 lowest homework scores) and I got slightly above median on the final and first midterm. I got significantly above median on the second midterm. Despite this, I ended up with a B in this class. Furthermore, tests are long and can only be finished on time if you really know what you're doing. Actual exams were mostly similar to practice exams, although with one or two more types of question (that you probably saw either in class and/or on homework). May is clear and definitely the best math professor I've had so far at UCLA, but be prepared as her class is difficult.

Professor May is a very, very nice lady. She's just not very good at teaching/explaining. I'd say she's pretty average as far as UCLA professors go. No, the previous two sentences here do not contradict each other.

My feelings about this class are mixed. On one hand, Professor May is probably the best lecturer I have ever had for a math class. She really wants you to learn the stuff and she’s passionate about students learning the material deeply. On the other hand her tests were very difficult (the midterms were both time crunches. It was doable but very difficult in the allotted time. The averages were 67% and 78% and for the final it was 74%), there was way too much homework (yes it helps prepare you, but no one wants to do 6+ hours of homework due weekly on material they might already feel good about), and IT IS NOT CURVED. What kind of math class doesn’t curve!? Although I ended with a B+ that should have easily been an A- or A, and people who were dead average on everything would have a C. If you are only looking for a professor who is a great lecturer, is friendly, and who cares about your learning then professor May is perfect. If you are looking for a class that you won’t be stressing every second about whether you’re doing good enough to get the grade you want, then Professor May is not for you. If you take her, good luck to your GPA

I really disliked this class. I actually found the material to be interesting, but found May to be dreadful. I think that her method of not curving the class even though nearly 30% of the class failed shows that she has a disdain for her students and an attitude that doesn't care if you fail or not. True, I learned a lot. But that is only because this class forced me to drop CS32 and I spent hours doing the homework. Doing average on both of the midterms and 12% above average on the final still only brought me to a B, which lets you know how hard it is to get an A. Overall, May was the worst math professor I had here at UCLA and that's such a shame because I liked the material.

THis is the best professor I've ever taken! Take her at any cost and you would not regret it! I'm just an average Math major student, and I find it easy to get an A for her class.
