I really liked Professor White. I'm terrible at Calculus and despise it as a subject but he made it very bearable. His tests were tough but got easier throughout the quarter. Doing lots of practice problems from the textbook will be extremely helpful for doing decently on the exams. He was funny, engaging, and had an australian accent.

Noah is the first (actual) professor I have encountered here at UCLA other than some sketchy grad student. His teaching is clear and engaging, and his Australian accent makes everything better. However, some of the class materials just weren't explained very well. He really tried, and some of the more rigorous proofs seemed rather unhelpful in a lower div class like this.

His workload is very heavy.

White is amazing! He's super clear, posts detailed notes for every lecture, posts several practice exams for both midterms and the final (with answer keys) and the exams are actually quite similar to the practice ones! Homework is light--there's a couple problems due every other week. For weeks when homework is not due, there's a quiz in discussion (it's usually not hard) and he drops the four lowest homework and quiz scores. To do well in this class I'd recommend doing all the homework (even the ones you don't need to turn in) and taking at least 1 practice exam. Also, make sure you really understand the material--makes exams a lot easier!

No workload. Easy quiz， Short but nontrivial homework.

I took this class in Spring 2017 and didn't have the opportunity to leave a review at the time since he didn't have a BruinWalk page, but I know he's still been consistently teaching Math 31B and probably a few other classes, so I thought I'd leave this here.

The first thing you'll probably notice is his accent - he's a pretty cool Australian guy if I recall correctly. He didn't Bruincast when I took the class but few math professors do, but he does post his lecture notes that he goes over online. Sometimes he would make a simple mistake and have trouble explaining a concept, but overall he was an effective, engaging, and interesting lecturer who didn't over-complicate the concepts although it was often difficult to motivate myself to go to an 8 AM.

Like many math classes, he had a generous grading scheme with two options and he would take the best of the two.
Option 1:
10% 5 best homework/quizzes (3 homeworks, 4 short quizzes)
40% Both midterms count for 20% each
50% Final Exam

Option 2
10% Homework/quizzes (same as Option 1)
30% Best midterm (drop your worst midterm)
60% Final exam

His grading schemes are consistent with the math department, which doesn't allow for very many A's (maximum 30%), but since people tend to do poorly on the exams, everyone was actually curved up.

Average Exam 1: ~55% (~22/40)
Average Exam 2: ~62% (~25/40)
Average Final Exam: ~67% (40/60)

His final exam was much more straightforward than the midterms and I believe he made a genuine attempt to adjust the difficulty after our poor performance on the first two exams. He also went in depth over difficult example problems in class, as well as in office hours, that ended up on the exam, so I was personally surprised that the average final exam score wasn't over 70%. He's definitely fair and a decent guy to take the class from as he takes feedback and is not mean/harsh. He tries to be sympathetic although there isn't much he can do about grades and everyone is anxious about them.

I loved Professor White and this class! He cares about his students and wants you to actually learn.

White is great at explaining topics for Math 32B, he is always clear and doesn't bother to do annoying proofs for every single thing. He is also amazing at drawing diagrams, his artistic skills impressed me honestly.

White is very organized. He has his own website that includes all the info you would ever need: syllabus, grading scheme, homework sets (always typed out the problems that were due so there was never any confusion), practice midterms and finals with solutions, schedule, etc. He also bruincasts his lecture with video, which is a big plus when you don't want to go to class in person. He used Campuswire (like piazza) which I personally really liked. He was always responsive and quick to answer any questions on there.

The class has two midterms and a final. The midterms were structured just like the practice ones and matched the difficulty. Each week he alternates with a quiz in discussion or 1-3 problems on the homework set that you would upload to gradescope. The problems were usually easy and he'd always help you if you needed it.

Overall, I would really recommend taking this class with White. He has been one of the best math professors I've had at UCLA other than Wenhao Ou.

Noah was an absolute champ. Here's why you should take this class:
1. Reasonable tests
2. 3 questions of homework every OTHER week, and easy quizzes in between, so barely any work outside class
3. Great lecturer, but maybe a little proof heavy. Still, did enough examples for a good understanding.
On the whole, this is exactly what I wanted from a math class. Noah didn't drown us in homework, but gave us problem sets (for our own exercise) that would more or less span the types of questions he'd give on exams. The tests were fair and there were plenty of MCQs that weren't too hard (except for the ones on the final). Would recommend this class 10/10.

Professor White is definitely one of the best math professors I've had at UCLA. I took this course with a different professor in Spring and struggled the entire quarter. After retaking the course in fall with Noah, I feel very confident with my abilities in math. He does a really great job with explaining how everything is related and provides a lot of useful visuals. He definitely cares about his students and always answers questions pretty quickly on Campuswire.

There's a slight curve on how he assigns grades for the class. He clarifies how specific scores predict what grade you might receive in the class after both midterms. He also has two different grading scales depending on if you bomb/miss a midterm. His HW/Quiz grade is also pretty easy because he drops your lowest 3 scores. I got 100 for HW/Quiz, 85 on Midterm 1, 58 on Midterm 2, and an 83 on the Final. My second midterm was dropped and I ended with a B+ in the class. Definitely take this class over any other professor!

Y'all I'm so fuckin heart eyes for this prof. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Not only is he super understanding and supportive of students, he's genuinely GOOD at teaching and explaining difficult concepts. 32B is notoriously hard but Noah turns it into a tolerable learning experience. My favorite things about Noah, in order: the Australian accent, lecturing style (super clear and engaging, and he draws helpful diagrams, very good for visual learners), BRUINCASTS, exam format (includes a multiple choice section), light workload for homework (a handful of problems due every other week), accessibility (he's always online on Campuswire), friendliness towards students. I love noah and im so glad i had him for this class yall i cant explain it anymore than this
