Spring 2019 - The class consisted of about 8 assignments spread out over the quarter, and one final project. The class was fairly straightforward, but without previous computer programming experience, I can see how this class can seem overwhelming. That being said, be sure to make the most of both the instructor and TA office hours, they are very willing to help, even proofread your code.

Winter 2025 - Edward is a really nice professor who takes his time explaining how the lines of code work. He also posts codes that are really similar to the homework, but you do need to do some additional processing to it to make it submittable to the requirements. Even though that may be the case though, don't rely solely on the given scripts. Take the time to learn it, because in the end writing the report that goes along with every homework in addition to the code itself is still hard (as a person who hates coding and has barely had coding experience).

Fall 2017 - This class reminded me of high school math classes. The material and workload aren't too bad, but it's really important that you're consistent with all the computations you're making and don't make mistakes. His lectures can be dry and based off the textbook, but I personally found going to lecture worth it. Definitely the most straightforward math class I've taken at UCLA.

Fall 2024 - While this is a really easy class, its honestly a lot of just busy work and just really boring. Prof. Gao is nice and he records lectures + posts slides, which is all you really need, but the homework and lab assignments are just so boring and tedious. No matter what professor you get this class is the same level of boring, so it doesn't really matter.
