David Weisbart is a really good teacher. He knows what he is talking about, is more than welcoming in the office hours. His tests are not directly from the textbook so you got to watch out for his lectures. His class average for my class was really high for all the midterms and the final, but he curves in a way that it never goes against you.
If you can, TAKE HIM. You would not regret. And yeah, he has a special grading system in which if you do well on the final, it accounts for 100% for the grade- this scheme landed me an A+.

An excellent math professor - the best I've had at UCLA so far. The class was fairly easy because his tests are straightforward, no tricks. Maybe that's why the curve was so high.

If you want a professor who really knows what he's talking about, is excited to teach, is very welcoming at office hours, and has a completely fair grading system, take Weisbart. If you can't handle relatively unimportant tangents or some repetition of concepts, he might annoy you.

Professor Weisbart was an EXCELLENT math professor. A lot of people in the class thought that the pace we were going at was slow, but it really was just Weisbart's great planning. He LOVES teaching. Nothing makes him happier than seeing his students succeed. He will stop lecture for one individual question, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it, but the pace is at a level where it allows for in depth analysis of topics. Also, it's amazing how well Weisbart knows his stuff. He never comes in with notes, just goes up to the whiteboard and does his thing. It does get annoying sometimes when he has to erase his work a lot but he shows us how to do math, not memorize equations.

Weisbart's exams are very fair. A lot of people say that they are overly easy, but how can you make it anymore difficult? If you do a bunch of practice problems, you will do well on the exams. To study, all I did was go to the hw section and do every odd problem. When I got to midterms and finals, I was so ready that it was easy. Weisbart doesn't trick you. Even if half of his students exit the class with an A, all of them know how to do the math.

Overall, take Weisbart, if I can again I definitely will.

不解释，我从来没见过愿意为学生专门出practice test的老师

Let's just start off by saying he didn't correct my midterm 1 grade until week 10. The midterm was given in week 4.

Anyway, Weisbart is a nice professor and is highly enthusiastic about math. As a result he deviates into more complex topics when he feels like it. He also considers getting together and doing math problems a "cool" thing. He believes doing math is "fun" and life should be devoted to solving tons of math problems.

While 32B may be a difficult subject, the class is not hard. The first midterm's average was 85%, median 90%. The second midterm's average was 77%, median 79%. The final's average was 86%, median 91%. Plus he has a very nice 100% final option if students do bad on the first two midterms. And with some persuasion in office hours, he will give students some free points. The class isn't curved like a regular math class; if students get an A and the average is high, they get an A.

Weisbart can be confusing at times, and he tends to go over some subjects repeatedly without actually focusing on the main topic at hand. The lectures get slower and more boring as the weeks go by. But Weisbart at least helps students understand the material better. The last two weeks of the class introduce Green's, Stokes', and Divergence Theorems. While these topics have great potential of introducing some VERY hard problems, Weisbart blows it off and gave really easy ones on the final. So it wasn't bad at all. Take him if possible.

Weisbart's class started off relatively easy, but got hard incredibly quickly. Like one of the posts below me, I agree that his charm doesn't make up for the long hours you'll be spending studying (if you want to do well) when you get lost in his somewhat confusing explanations in class. Yes, I admit that he genuinely cares a lot about his students, but unfortunately that doesn't really help anyone understand the material any better come exam time. Take him if you dare, but prepare for some frustration.

Professor Weisbart is a GREAT professor. He really cares about his students and is very welcoming in office hours. He really wants to make sure you understand things and doesn't trick you on tests with complicated algebra, instead he tests you on the actual calculus involved. He is one of the best professors I have ever had. Take him if you can!

Dave is a very knowledgeable professor and is very concerned with his students doing well. It is sometimes hard to follow him in class, but the notes make much more sense once you've learned everything. He gives helpful practice tests and will hold review sessions if the class asks for it. He's a fair grader, but if you don't put a lot of effort, he won't like you. Going to office hours is helpful and he'll work with you to help you bring up your scores. Very good overall.
