Professor Weisbart is great at teaching. He tells us to call him David. I took Math 32B with him. He makes an effort to help student understand concepts. He really wishes his students to do well. He gave us two grading options which he said he will take the better one. His office hours are pretty helpful. His exams can be a little tricky but you can definitely do well on them. Definitely take him for any math class you can.

He's awesome! I'd recommend him as a professor to anybody who is planning to take a math class.

He makes the material interesting, and very effective.

The best part? 100% final!

I took Math 3A. he is very caring about a students understanding if you have questions about the homework or the lecture he will answer them during lecture. He had overall two midterms and a final, homework on a weekly basis. he also gives out practice midterms and final that are similar to the test. I would take this teacher again if I could

The reviews you read about professor weisbart are mostly true, he is a very good math teacher. I think i personally like the 33 series more that 31 and 32, but weisbart is a good professor. the means on his midterms were mid 80s, and he has a 100% final grading scheme if you mess up once. he claims his collegues thought that his second midterm would be too hard for his class to handle, and they thought the mean was going to be around the 60s. the mean was actually 83, i don't know if he said that to make it seem like hes a good teacher, or he actually is a good teacher, but i'm not complaining. bottom line: take him over any other teacher. period.

Good math teacher; he does make asides, but they always help you understand the lecture more (or if they won't he explicitly states "don't worry if you don't get this, but..." and the people who get it will pay attention and those who aren't too interested/are tired/etc don't have to focus on it!).

On occasion he would assume that "oh this is easy/straight forward" when it wasn't always for people. However, if you have someone who isn't afraid to ask for a deeper explanation, he will reexplain it and write it down if asked explicitly.

Usually clear and easy to understand- sometimes he was quiet at the beginning, but when asked to speak up, he did so.

I definitely would recommend him, as despite the difficulty, you leave his class with great knowledge, even if your grade doesn't completely reflect it.

WHAT THE HELL IS UCLA THINKING BY NOT GIVING THIS GUY TENURE??
He's the most amazing teacher ever, he's young and brilliant, and he loves teaching, loves being there. It really shows! I usually don't feel much for math but this guy seriously changed the way I felt about the course. His office hours are also very open and he's willing to help, as long as you show that you care about learning.

And he made lower division feel so alive, his upper divs must be even better! His tests (some say easy) prove that he knows EXACTLY what you should have learned from this class, no BS or anything like some other profs..

I second the other commentor, he would enhance the quality and power of UCLA's mathematics department BY FAR.

They NEED to bring this guy back with a full time position, instead of this adjunct, temporary crap.

He's definitely one of the better lecturers in the math department. His tests are fair and he's not really in the business of tricking you. He posts sample test that are helpful but he doesn't post answers so unless if you seek help to find answers, you won't know if you did the problems correctly or not. He has two grading scales, the first one being the normal (homework, two midterms, and final all contribute to the final grade) and the other option having the final be your final grade. The flexibility is nice.

If you ever try to visit him in office hours, forget about getting any problems done. The dude loves to share. (Which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing, just be prepared to be there a long time) He's not very good at responding to emails but just send him a repeat reminder and he'll respond.

I do not dispute that he may be a decent professor for other math classes, but he is a terrible math 32A professor. He is unable to teach the concept of vectors. Math 32A is an easy class, and easy to learn from the book. But his lectures are completely worthless.
